Just paid IV invoice fees n It shows in processing. .. Now where can I get DS 260 form? And do I hv to post original civil documents or I can send xerox copies of them to NVC??

https://ceac.state.gov/ceac/

You have to send the original civil documents to NVC. Don't forget to include the IV cover sheet.

NVC says you can send certified copies. http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3195.html

What I understood, certified means that the same issuing institution gives you copy of the original document.

For Ukraine original documents and certified copies have to have Apostille on them in order to be valid in the US. Check if it is needed for your country.

I didn't send any original document, except Police Certificate. I did certified copy of Marriage Certificate. For other documents I just did notarized copies and put Apostille on EVERY document I sent. + translations with seals form translation bureau and text that translator is competent.

But this is for UKRAINE. I cannot say for sure it will work that way for other countries. Please find more info http://travel.state.gov/visa/fees/fees_5455.html?cid=9215 for India

Let us hope it isn't going to take the full 30 business days for you too.

What a draining process it is at this stage but prayerfully we will all get there.

Yes, that's the email I received too but it could also mean checklist for the IV package (DS230/DS260/civil documents).

Doesn't matter if its AOS or IV checklist because the review timeframe is just the same (20-30 business days).
