I-130 approved now NVC approval required

Hi everyone,

I just need to know few things as below:

Is it necessary to sign form DS 230 by the beneciary (who is non US citizen)and if already submitted by petitioner on behalf of him then would NVC returned it to the petitioner?

Further other documents like police certoficates, original birth certificate and marraige certificates if not submitted at the time of form submission then should we wait for NVC to send us the query?

Moreover, how long does they take to feed in thier system that they recieve the docs because its been a week and they have updated? how long does they take to schedule an interview with the consulate?

Regards,

AMNA

If part 1 of the DS-230 was not signed by the beneficiary, NVC will issue a checklist in which they'll ask for DS-230, part 1, to be signed. NVC does NOT return any documents to either the petitioner or beneficiary.

If the other required documents (marriage certificate, birth certificate, police certificate, etc) were not submitted with the DS-230, then NVC will issue a checklist asking for those documents. They will have to be sent in as well.

Lately, it's been taking NVC a week or so to review packages.

Only once a case is complete (meaning both packages reviewed and accepted) is an interview date scheduled.
