Hi everyone,

Those who filed EP, did you send one email containing separate identified PDF files for both AOS and IV packages? I called NVC and the agent has kinda hesitant with her answers. I read the instructions and FAQs and that's my understanding. Thanks

Oh she also told me not to include the cover sheet. Your thoughts?

According to these links:

http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/immigrate/immigrant-process/documents/Submit_documents.html

http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/immigrate/immigrant-process/documents/submit/documents-scanning-faqs.html

My understanding is ONE email, one PFD for each document.

The cover page as far as I know is for snail mail and has a barcode to track the packages, not for EP.

Ha! The complete opposite of what I was told earlier. Thanks though :)

You second my thoughts. I think I will do as instructed on the site to be on the safe side. One email for both packages with individually identified files. Thanks for your input.

I respect what Flyawayfree did, actually including the cover sheets does not hurt. Definitively I prefer one email as the NVC site says.

So I was told this morning that regardless of when our scan date is, EP or snail mail, the packages will just sit there so long the DS-260 hasn't been reviewed. Sigh...
