I was under the impression that if the benificairy is in India, you will go through standard processing and in that case all the NVC needs is the completed and signed copy of Part I along with a copy of the biographical page of the benificiary. Is this not corcet please clarify?

Thanks,

from Jan08 NVC changed policy to process case for immigraant.

now NVC collect police clearance and Ds 230 part 2 .you hv to send to ur COA(petioner)then spouce will send to NVC.I am (benificery) from india.

so next time you send complete DS 230(part 1 signed and part 2 not signed(filll part 1 & 2)) in advance to ur spouce.also send 2 by 2 inch passport photo with white back ground along with DS230.

I know these are the requirements for Appointment Posts. Is this new policy in effect for all consulates with Standard Post NVC Processing Instructions starting from Jan 2008?

My case will be at HCM consulate, btw.
