Today, I received IV fee invoice. Checklist cover sheet with following instruction. We already filled the DS-261. Do we missing here anything?

______1 - IMMIGRANT VISA APPLICATION PART 1:_______________________
The Embassy/Consulate where you will be interviewed requires you to submit an electronic form
DS-261 (Choice of Address and Agent) which can be found at:
http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_5165.html. This form tells the National Visa Center
how to contact the principal applicant during the immigrant visa application process. A parent or
guardian may submit the form if the principal applicant is under the age of sixteen.
You may act as your own agent, or you may register your petitioner, a family member or foriend, an
attorney or other immigrant assistance professional, or anyone else you trust to represent you. The NVC
strongly recommends that you register an agent with e-mail capability and a postal delivery address in
the United States because postal service can be unreliable in some parts of the world.
The principal applicant must notify us of his/her choice before we can continue processing this case

This is the norm in busy embassy like teh UK and Egypt

they wil stall and stall and stall till dates becomes available and then send the CC and then buy more time to delay the interview

its not the NVC alone both the NVC and embassy are in it together

He has insisted that a supervisor calls him back , this is second time through out our case he has requsted this due to not one being available at the time of the call. Hmmm well like the first time they didnt call so i dont expect them to now either.

What a shambles this is - i mean how can they just totally skip 2 days and do all others before and after!!!.

Their system absolutely sucks !!!

It is so frustrating yes to see all around your date everyone else got CC and i swear someone just threw those 2 days in a draw !!! :((( Anyways nothing i can do but let NVC do as they please and keep us away from one- another.

Ty nobrains.

I think it's safe to say that i got CC!!

I got a checklist email today and freaked out but continued to read it and they are making me (petitioner) let my husband bring the required documents at his interview! <3

So, yes? We're CC right? hehe.

BUT, i wonder if my final CC will change because i sent 2 AOSs and this email was after they reviewed the first one ONLY. I sent my Joint Sponsor's AOS a couple of days after. So i guess i still have to wait for what they say about that... But nevertheless, i think my case is blue now? biggrin.png What do you guys think?

P.S. I'm still unsure on how to edit the list.. but i can someone change mine to CC, please? <3
