260 form

[Robert/Jiamin 1]

I got a dreaded RFE and called NVC--- why! Got maybe an answer and then she reminded me to send the 260! What I said, I sent the 230 in early august. Needless to say I sent a 260 but now do I send all the other required info that accompanied the 230 again???? I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel but I could be seeing things!!!!

Uh oh. Is Jiamin part of the CCP?

I got the rfe on the 864 so maybe taken care of maybe not . I resent the replacement 230 with the new 260 but without the docs that I sent with the 230. I did the 260 online, and there was no asking about gzo or whatever, just being sent to NVC, and yes I do or have been using a gzo #. So do you think I should resend the docs again and now I'm wondering to who? There is no CCP affiliation.

I have a similar problem. We sent the DS-230 in July, today they asked us for a DS-260. I posted a portion of their letter in the China subforum. I do not understand this, and also do not know whether we have to resubmit all supporting documents. (We have a GZO number, Darnell).

Simeon, might I ask, what does the CCP have to do with this?

For those who are still following: I called NVC and was told that sending in the docs that accompanied the 230 will not be needed to be sent with the new 260. That's a relief but gov being gov wouldn't be surprised after waiting 30 business days that I was supposed to send them!!! In regards to the 261, if you sent the 3032 and got your case number then not necessary for the 261. Also there isn't a BID # just the case number that was issued, GZO********** whatever. Happy trails!!

The Beneficiary ID #, BIN, can be gotten over the phone, fwiw.

So, The Canadiens and Mexicans were doing DS-260s prior, and

On 1 SEP, NVC changed all - no more DS-230 for anyone. Doing intake at NVC? Must use DS-261 and the DS-260 after that date.

Now, for those folk, like you, active at NVC for August and September, that submitted the DS-230 prior to 1 SEP 2013, it's been a cr@p shoot - no consistency for what's what on the requirement - but it seems to me that MOST folk are getting asked for the DS-260 even when a DS-230 was submitted prior.

as to civil docs - it's the same pattern for Mexico and Canada - they are emailed in, attached to the casefile later. You already do this for the prior EP stuff for Guangzhou - so that's a plus, no change there.

IMO, it sucks for China EP chasers that got 'caught' midstream. IMO, though, yer lucky.

WHY? At least you not get caught midstream for the I-864 changeover, earlier in the summer. That was a flippin nightmare.

Hang in there - throw stuff in the pipe, soonish, nowish.

Go Get Em, and Good Luck !
