Just submitted DS 260 form, where to upload documents?

[ApDev 0]

Hello all,

 

After waiting over 2 weeks for the "maintenance" of the website to finish, I finally got to submit the DS260 form. Now I am looking for where to upload the supporting financial documents and AOS forms, etc.

 

On the CEAC there is no upload forms section, so does that mean I need to physically mail in the forms to the NVC? My case is with the Sydney office (SYD).  Thanks!

You have to mail them.

Method 1: Upload documents online using CEAC required

There are three ways to submit documents to NVC. The method you use depends on where you are interviewing and the letter you received from NVC. Look at your NVC case number, the letter you received from NVC, and match it to the method below to find out how to submit your documents to NVC.

If you have received a letter from the National Visa Center (NVC) saying “You May Begin Online Processing” (See sample letter below), scan and electronically save your financial forms and evidence, civil documents, and translations, then upload these documents to your CEAC account online. (CEAC is the Consular Electronic Application Center where you also pay fees and complete the Form DS-260 visa application.) Instructions and more information are on our Managing Your IV Case Online page. Please note this method is required for visa applicants who received this letter from NVC.

Method 2: Email Processing required

If your NVC case number begins with one of the following prefixes:

• AKD
• AMM
• BGH
• DMS
• GZO

Scan and save your financial forms and evidence, supporting civil documents, and translations as a PDF file. Then send them to NVCelectronic@state.gov as attachments to an email. Please type your case number in the subject line of the email. You can attach multiple PDFs to a single email, but each PDF can be no more than 5 MB (megabytes) in size. If you have more than one case number, use a different email message for each case. For more information, review our Document Scanning FAQs.

 

Method 3: Mail processing

If none of the above methods apply to your case, mail your financial forms and evidence, supporting documents, translations, and photocopies, along with the Document Cover Sheet included with your NVC Welcome Letter, to the following address:

National Visa Center
Attn: DR
31 Rochester Ave. Suite 100
Portsmouth, NH  03801-2914

Please mail all of these items together in one package. If you are sending documents for more than one case number, please mail each case number’s documents in a separate envelope. 

If your Document Cover Sheet is missing, you can print a new one online. Go to ceac.state.gov and click on “Fee Payment” under the “Immigrant” category. You will be asked to enter your NVC case number and Invoice ID number. After doing so, scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the “Print Document Cover Sheet” button. You can also choose to email yourself a copy of your document cover sheet for printing at a later time.

NVC cannot accept documents saved on any form of electronic media, including CDs and memory cards.  If you send any electronic media to NVC, we will return it to you unopened.
