hello gdday please I want to know what documents are required for the Nvc stage since I am waiting for the case number and the process involved. Also how long does it take a non pivot case for case number because I received email from NVC and they acknowledge that my documents are with them already but it will take 8 weeks for case# that sound too long .please I need replies .thanks

Documents for Beneficiary:

1.Police certificate from all the places you've stayed for more than 6 months. For details, check country specific requirements

2. Marriage certificate

3. Marriage termination record if any

4. Birth certificate

5. Passport size 2×2 photographs

6. Passport biographic page

Docs for Petitioner:

1. Tax transcripts of most recent year or better if 3 most recent years

2. Birth certificate

3. Employer letter

4. Passport biographic page

For non pivot cases, I think it's taking 5-6 weeks to get case and invoice number

I had to do the same and was similarly confused. I called the NVC, and the operator said that they mean a copy of the visa in your passport, yes. To be sure, I also added all the DS-2019s I have. Mind you, My case has not yet been reviewed, so I can't tell you if they were actually content with this, but this was the info NVC gave me.

i'm also confused about their request to upload "photography".

are they asking for  Passport size 2×2 photographs?

or photographs of me and my wife doing the whole 'married life' stuff together?

It will take as long as it takes to get a Case number.. 4 weeks. 8 weeks 12 weeks.. out of your control... everyone is waiting far longer than they want to... 

You should go onto the state.gov website and search for NVC process.. everything is explained there in a clear step by step process.. make sure you read it thoroughly and follow the links and drop down menus. There are several places where the documents needed  and the specific process is country dependent, so you need to get that very clear to avoid RFE and delays. 

Make those pages your very close friend.. look at all the forms that are needed.. and their associated instruction pages.. read literally and simply.. come back and ask specific questions once you have done your research.. you will find plenty of help .. we all have to take responsibility or understanding the process  ourselves  ...

We have a similar situation with travel plans in July. You can reschedule an interview. They say "this may incur significant wait time" though, and I truly wonder what that means. A month? 2 months? 3 years?! Such a vague process... 

 

But, you can totally wait to upload your stuff until later if you'd like. There's no telling anything. The only way to be SUPER sure that you won't be scheduled until August would be to send your documents in August I guess.

How far in advance can you reschedule an interview? For example if your interview is on July 15th,2018 could it be rescheduled for May 15th,2019?

Here you go! Awful quality, but this is the only one available. You definitely can see what to expect.

 

https://travel.state.gov/content/dam/visas/DS-260 Exemplar.pdf

 

Ds261 is only one page (if I can recall), with basic information about your agent (your spouse I guess), such as address, dob, etc. There is really nothing to be prepared for

Yes, you are going to fill (the online version of) this one. I think everything is pretty straightforward, the sucky parts are the previous addresses and jobs in the past 10 years. That’s quite a research if you moved a lot... If that’s impossible for you to get it together, just be honest and do the closest. As long as you have got no any other issues with your application, but a few dates, it is very unlikely to be denied.

 

Also when you do the actual ds260, it won’t be 70 something pages. The pdf you are looking at contains every possible option. What I did is print the whole thing, then threw out the pages irrelevant to me. The size was cut almost half. 🤓
