Hey, I looked in the NVC Wiki and did not see a link to print out the old DS-230 to practice for the DS-260. Do you have a link for that? :)

Hmm, thought I had the link in there, but guess not! It's in my NVC EP wiki though :lol: I'll update the wiki to include the link. Thanks for noticing that :)

For now though, you can find it here: http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/81807.pdf

You would have submitted proof of relationship to the USCIS though? If they needed more, they would have sent an RFE. We had to do that. You should be able to print off the cover page and send in your supporting documents now. Then the DS-260 will be available as soon as the fee show's paid.

There's quite a few sections. I prepared by completing the DS-230 and printing it off, I had this sitting next to me while I completed the DS-260 but there's more detail required in the DS-260, so it took me about 90 mins to complete.

I sent our marriage and birth certificates to USCIS and they never asked me for anything else.

OK I have the DS-230 in paper and it was only 4 pages long and asked a whole bunch of question about school/occupation/most recent place of residence/ police record questions etc.

I will practice with it tonight. Tomorrow, I am sending out my IV package then.

Thanks for your help. Can't wait to hear that you finally CC. :dancing:

I already replied to you in the PM you just sent me.

Thank you! This journey has been long and very tiring. How are you doing? almost CC?

Our supporting packages were delivered to NVC on May 29th. I didn't bother to call but I assume they scanned them around June 2nd. I guess we might hear something -- checklist or case complete -- in a week or two.

It's been 3 months since our NOA2. All we've managed to accomplish in that time is pay some fees and fill a form online and send supporting evidence that they haven't looked at yet. This process is ridiculous and exhausting.

I'm the USC petitioner. My wife is British (now a USC!!!), generally awesome, and amazingly patient.

You and the thousands of us...

30 business days to pay the IV fees

30 business days or more from the date of your last scanned doc, assuming there are no checklists to respond to. Good luck to us all. Update your timeline/signature so it's easier to track progress
