a) Optional, but I provided few pics from our wedding, honeymoon, moneygram transaction records, and skype screenshots. Again, it's optional but seems to help.

b) Sent photocopy of your passport and naturalization (if citizen by naturalization) or birth certificate (if citizen by birth)

c) For the beneficiary --- Police certificate will suffice, but check to see what is the most common practice for your country. Provide copies and he'll have to take the originals to the interview.

Beneficiary do I have get my spouse to get said documents to send to me here at this point or will he provide to embassy once packet is sent from NVC here to there?

Whatever you send to NVC will forwarded to embassy after case complete

But do get second copy from pattitionar for your own file embassy may ask for it again.

Want to Speed up NVC Process ?


Check Guides From Guide section for doccuments and list of stuff and follow this steps


Step 1 After USCIS NOA2 Gather all AOS / IV Package Documents In 3 weeks


Between USCIS Approving and NVC Case Number you have 2 to 3 weeks gather all AOS and IV Documents Get package ready.


Step 2 Obtain NVC Invoice and Case number.


​After 2 weeks of NOA2 Keep on Calling NVC every day to get case number And Invoice number


Step 3 Pay First Fee and DS261


After getting NVC Case Number and Invoice Number Log in to webpage Pay First Fee and Fill out DS261 Takes 24 to 38 Hr to get fee status paid.


Step 4 Conform Agent / Ds261 Over Phone and Sent out Documents


Once First fee turns Paid Online ( Usualy 24 to 48 hr) Call NVC And conform choice of agent over Phone If they won't keep on calling them Until someone will Or other fee won't be unlocked.Also Once you get Welcome letter on email Print out Document Checklist sheet And Sent in your documents to NVC


Step 5 Pay Other Fee and Fill out DS260 (Total time from DS 261 to here should be no longer then 15 days )


​Step 6 Conform Document delivery AT NVC And Ask them Processing Time..

I am the petitioner and just didn't think I would have to get my spouse's police record etc right now as he's in Ghana. I thought I'd send in all my financial documents they've already got proof or relationship pictures chats marriage licence I sent with 1-30. I didn't think he'd have to send me that here? I thought that would be given once NVC sends packet to his embassy in Ghana.

Since you are the petitioner, the NVC does not need proof of your US status, the approved petition already establishes that.
