Submitting documents to NVC as 'ONE package'

[RobbieG 94]

Our IV fee shows PAID today and the DS260 is also open to complete. YAY!

[Dualie 185]

Hey Dualie,

I am waiting for both of fee's to be paid before sending the packages. I called the NVC and asked the lady she said they're trying to be more streamline with the 'one package' process and that is what she would recommend I do.

She said the IV bill should become available this week and we will receive an email when it's ready. So just waiting on that...

It is down to the individual couple to decide what they want to do, however if the advice is to send as 'ONE' package I don't want to go against the advice.

Best of Luck

Best of luck to you too! My AOS cleared this morning, and after conferring with NLR and others here, to me it makes sense to wait for the IV to be paid so you can fill out the DS-260, and THEN send everything together on the same day, in the same package (in my case it will take a few emails, but whatever.. ).

So that means that by the beginning of next week my IV bill should be ready for payment...and then shortly after that, the DS-260. Maybe things are going to become a little quicker and more streamlined .

Wow, only 9 days from DS-261 submission to IV invoicing. They're really speeding that part up! Now if they could just get those review times down...

Snap. Us too. Showed available to pay like 2 hrs ago. Paid it straightaway and mailing the two packages tomorrow as one.

Hope you get yours done and shipped.

I will fill in the DS-260 during the week, going by the wiki it doesn't need completing urgently.

Question - will you be sending original police certificate or a copy???

I am doing electronic processing, so it's a PDF scan of the original. EP requires us to bring all originals with us to the interview.

If I were you, I would get a notarized copy if you can, and bring your originals with you to your interview. I do believe they accept notarized copies in the packages (and I KNOW if I'm wrong I will get stomped on shortly...lol!)

Guys and Girls, I would highly suggest, that you submit the Original Certified Police Certificate, unless your in EP status. A Notarized copy will lead to a check list. Don't take the chance!

Thanks for your replies, I will just submit the original as per the wiki last thing I need is a check-list.

Hey there,

on Sept. 29th i mailed off the AOS & IV Packet with DHL. Now my thing is, that it was delievered to Boston instead of Portsmouth. The tracking ends in Boston and somebody signed for it there. I´ve read somewhere on VJ, that this is ok, since Boston is serving the Portsmouth area where the NVC is. Does anybody know if this is true or if my packets got misplaced? I mean, if it was misdirected, wouldn´t they have resend it? And also somebody signed for it...i´m a bit confused and nervous as well. Does anybody has an idea?

Thanks alot in advance!

No problem.

Wife picked up her COC from Malaysia yesterday,(4 day turn-around, not bad, but she the hates having to go there to get anything from the Malaysian Gov.), still waiting for the Singpaore COC, pick-up date is schedule for 13 Oct 2014. Should be able to get the IV packet mailed out by 18 Oct 2014.

My husband has been on the road all week. Hopefully he will pay the IV bill so we can get the show on the road with the DS260.

Had the weirdest thing happen today though. I had filled out the DS261 and chose to make myself my own agent. Sent that off electronically, etc. Well, today I get two identical emails, both sent to my husband as well. Anyway, they said that NVC has appointed my husband as my agent (they also had the IV Invoice included as an attachment). So what was the point of my filling out the DS261 anyway? Oh well, I don't mind hubby being my agent...I suppose it doesn't really matter with EP because we both get the email correspondence.

I just might have all my ducks in a row and sent out by the 18th also. Let's race and see who gets through NVC first, lol!! Just kidding...like we have any control over that, eh?

I have heard, that by re-visiting the DS-261 could re-start the clock over again, I hope this isn't the case, keep us all post if this occures. Have you downloaded the DS-260 PDF file from Saylin Wiki page, a good source of information bbefore going online.
