Hi!  Our NVC expedite request was approved before our DS-260 was unlocked. Does anyone know if we still need to submit our DS-260 online even if NVC says all correspondence will now be with the local embassy due to the expedite approval? 

 

Also, in the AOS (I-864 form), if I am already part of the number of people being sponsored (Part 5, #1), should I still be listed in Part 5, #3 where it says "if you are married, list your spouse"?  That's going to make it redundant and will add 1 more person (the same person) to the total household.  

 

Would appreciate any response.  Thanks in advance!

Yes, the DS260 can only be submitted online but it is immediately available to the Consular IV unit.  Follow the instruction not to count anybody twice.  You don't list your spouse if the spouse is the intending immigrant.
