Three quick questions (Ease of mind)

[CLMIKE 22]

Just to calm the paranoid, I could use a confirmation on the VISA/MRV

I followed all instructions to a T with the Fiancee on the guidelines by Nich (excellent as always) and just wanted to clarify two things.

1. The reciept confirmation page never has a barcode right?

2. Is Case number supposed to be blank? I can't for the life of me see where we add that info in the profile.

3. You are supposed to bring all old passports to the embassy. She's had three in her lifetime. 2 of them she has. The oldest one she has no clue. How critical will it be if she can't find it?

4. Her only form of ID is her passport. She does not have a drivers license. She does not have any other form of photo ID. Other than printing off a scan of her passport to keep, what would be the easiest form of ID to get in less than 2 weeks?

Thanks in advance for any help

1, 2. Pass. I didn't do that so no experience.

3. Hasn't been a problem for others who didn't have old passports. Not sure why it even says that.

4. Confused. Explain why passport isn't photo ID. What is it for? To get in the embassy?

[CLMIKE 22]

For the form of ID, it's mainly just something to prove she's who she is when they deliver the passport via DX

Our current plan is a print out scan of her passport and a ID card she got at college. Would that work for the VISA delivery?

Or should she address the package instead of her name to her Mum or Dad's name instead who do have photo ID's.

Thoughts?

To sign for the package when DX mails the visa

Ah...I see. We'll about a jillion people have posted that the courier doesn't even ask for id. But occasionally they do. I think a photocopy of the passport ought to do. She can explain if they want to see the original, he'll have to let her open the bag and get it out. Used to say a credit card or bill in your name to the same address as delivery would do. I don't think DX is that strict.

Thanks Nich. You're a paranoia-easer as always.

I swear I've looked over questions 1-2 about 10 times and I'm pretty sure there's no barcode on MRV reciept so no concern there. And case number is always blank when you edit everything and no spot to put that in so I think I'm fine.

So close to the finish line, interview on the 12th....oie vey

To answer your first question, no the receipt page does not have a barcode. The only thing with a barcode should be your DS-160 confirmation page.

Update:

Emailed Embassy (because while I trust Nich, the fiancee asked me to be 100% sure with the Embassy) and I was told not to worry by the US Embassy of London if we could not find the missing old passport.

Woot

I answered the query re the other barcode in the other thread where you posted. Sorry for the confusion but it seems as though you don't need it anyway, as long as you have something to prove you've paid the MRV fee. I was getting panicked in the waiting hall at the embassy as it came up on the big screen that you needed it. But apparently not...

[CLMIKE 22]

Hey Matt so I don't bog down my thread can I just PM you back and forth a bit. My fiancee isn't online yet (so I'm doing this from Arkansas on my side)
