Did anyone fill out form DS-261( Choice of agent and address) online because I got an email fron NVC and they asked me to fill out DS-261 online .

Please let me know if anyone has done it.

Thanks

Hi Hems, i sent my ds3032 using vj template on aug 27 but have not gotten a response yet. Last night i was on NVC website just checking if they received my aos payment and i just filled out the ds261 not knowing there was a change so i don't have to worry. So go ahead and do yours, it's better to be safe than to be sorry.

I do not have a invoice identification number though, where do I get that from? I think I should have asked for that on the phone as well, right?

One last question. I am temporarily moved from the original address for about 6 months( used in the form), I only go there once a month so I do not miss out on any mail. Would you suggest giving the new address in the 261 when I sign up as an agent? Or use the old address so there is no confusion?

How do you know when NVC received your case?

You have to call them . Give them 2 weeks after your approval to find out if they receive your case or not . After they receive it its another 2 weeks to assign a case number.
