Urgent question ! DS-230

[Tarik 11]

Does the NVC send the form DS-230 with the packet 3 or they just give you a link and ask you to get it online and fill it.if so could somebody that already got the packet 3 give me the link that they sent to him.

thank you !

They send it to you on Packet 3. We were advised to wait until we got the form from them, so we did. But you don't have to. You can download the form online and have your spouse fill it out. If you are your spouse's agent, have it ready so you can send it back with the copy of the passport as soon as you get it. If he will get the package himself, then have it ready anyway. It will make things much easier.

I'm the applicant.I'm waiting for the DS-230 but I'm just wondering if they send the form DS-230 with the barcodes in it,or I can get one online and fill it so I can have it ready to send.because if it has the barcodes in it I will have to send the original that I'll get from them.

Tarik,

I agree with Alix 100%. It is better that you get the DS 230 ready. You can download them, fill them out, and print them. NVC instruction always says not to use downloaded forms, but they do accept it. They discourage people to use the downloaded form, because some may download outdated version from websites which don't update the forms right away. The Ds 230 forms do nto have any barcode on it. The barcode is a separate page itself.
