I am confused.

We got our Immigrant/Fiance Visa Interview Checklist last Friday and the NOA2 a few days prior. It states to complete the DS-260 which is the Immigrant Visa Electronic Application Form. My husband is in the process of doing this (be prepared! This form is a big one!)

But, I am also reading on lost_at_sea 's experience http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/443127-dcf-london-i-130-for-ir1cr1-spouse-guide/ where she talks about the DS-230? And, that has to be filled in and mailed via post?

So both need completing?

I am an American originally from Mississippi. Met my British husband in 1996. Married in 2004. Have lived in the UK for 9 years. We have two children. Hoping to move back to the USA with my husband, twins, two cats and dog in tow. 22 Oct 2013: Mailed I-130 application to DCE- London Embassy25 Oct 2013: Noticed application fee processed on my credit card.25 Oct 2013: NOA1 received (found in spam folder)19 Nov 2013: NOA2 received22 Nov 2013: Visa Interview Checklist arrived via post.25 Nov 2013:Completed DS-260 electronic application25 Nov 2013: Visa Interview Checklist Complete9 Dec 2013:Medical Examination13 Dec 2013: Submission of the notification of applicant readiness form 8 January 2014: Interview date assigned at Embassy in London 23 January 2014: Interview APPROVED! :-)<p>1 June 2014: Port of entry:NC

Hi,

My situation is quite like yours. (american living with british husband here for 8+ years, time to move back to US w/ kids, etc) Our petition was approved months ago-- Was it easy to log in and fill out the DS260-- I am unable to sign in using the LND case number and the date of birth of the applicant? I emailed the NVC and was told to contact the embassy as the LND number is not an NVC number.

So confused and nervous. Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks
