Submitted my DS-260 tonight when it became available. That form was a beast! Anyhow, it's all there now - the fees, the packages and the form. Hoping my scan date is when my package arrived last Friday but I'll call again tomorrow to try to find out the official date. So anything else I need to do besides find out my official date and count up to 45 days from then (and check for my 3 N/As online periodically)?

Hard for me to believe, but I think we are finally done with what we need to do on the US side. DS-260 became available yesterday so we completed and submitted it last night. I guess I just have a couple questions ...

Does NVC always notify you when they receive your AOS and IV packages or is it kind a random thing? I have the USPS tracking that they were received on the 14th but as of yet, I have gotten no email. I'm not terribly concerned yet, just curious. :)

And, does the 30 - 45 day countdown always start with the date they received your documents or is it case by case? Our DS-260 wasn't available until 10 days after that so I'm just curious about that too.

Happy Holidays to everyone and thanks for the help along the way. :)

Hi

Do police certificate needed for Nvc from Pakistan ?

I don't think it's needed for interview but I'm not sure about NVC. We sent one anyway just in case. It would be nice to know if anyone from Pakistan did not send one to NVC and were okay.
