QUOTE (jimcat @ Sep 11 2008, 09:21 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
congratulations girl! a little waiting na lang and you'll be off to your husband's arms soon.. kami, we just sent our ds230 part 1. we had an RFE about the places lived since 16. i only lived in 2 places. in my province and in manila when i studied there in college. the RFE letter stated that we must have ommitted answering that part... eh yun lng naman talaga tinirhan ko... it's stressful. what i did was to put N/A na lang dun sa mga blank spcaes after ng last answer ko... hope we get approved soon..

thanks for your advice by the way! god bless you! biggrin.gif


i just mailed my ds230 to my hubby and hes just waiting for it tapos send n nya s NVC.. ano nangyari dun s RFE m?kasi ako nilagay ko lng dun yung tirahan ko ngaun kasi dun nman n tlga ako since 11 years old ako.. may possibility kya n magka RFE ako? should i put N/A also dun sa ibang spaces kung isang place lng nilagay ko?

Hi Guys,

The NVC just generated our IV Bill of $400. I just paid it online and would like to know what would be the very next step? Can I directly send the DS-230 form or should I wait for the instruction package?? If anyone can let me know the whole process from here till the interview day, I would really appreciate it. Also if you can mention approx. days each step will take.

Thanks a lot.


Thanks for the reply. I have paid it online and I am still waiting for the status to change to "Paid", the status is still "In Process" right now. But I just wanted to confirm that once the status changes to Paid, I am suppose to do the same thing as I did with the AOS package.

Do I need to get the DS-230 signed by my husband?


yes u can once it says paid, u can print the oversheet already.. for the ds230, u have ur husband sign just the part 1.. he should send it to u now with the docs so u can get it asap.. and send it in once ure able to print the coversheet..

Thank you, they received my DS-230 Sept 11 2008 then they send me a checklist that my Ds-230 is missing; they send it Sept 16 and I receive it Sept 23, then I called them on the same day and she told me that disregard the letter coz my case is complete

so ure coming here to PI just to fill up the ds230? she can download the form and fill it up and send it to u using express mail like fedex and u just have to print the barcoded coversheet and send i to NVC..



Thanks for the reply! No actually the packet has not arrived in the Philippines yet and I already have plans to visit my wife Oct 15th. I have filled out the form already but she has the copies of all needed documents and she must sign Part 1. I will make sure everything is in order and send it to NVC from the Philippines as I will be there with her. But using Fed Ex is the type answer I have been waiting on. Thanks again for replying to my question. Take care and God bless


ur welcome.. but since ur visiting her, she can send the ds230 packet straight to NVC so its already in process or maybe get completed before u get here... just a suggestion.. biggrin.gif

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedureshow long till my ds230 entered in the system?
QUOTE (Ling Ling @ Sep 26 2008, 03:37 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
eYep, that means someone has opened your envelope, scanned the barcode cover-sheet, and placed it in a pile where the reviewers can locate it.
Should be another 5 to 7 days. You made a copy of the package...right?
Check through your copy to see if there's anything you forgot, or should have changed.
We all make mistakes....if you find it early enough, you can send in the new info (with the barcoded cover-sheet again) and save yourself some time on the RFE process.

Good Luck

...the journey continues.


i have a copy of my ds230 and photocopy of all the docs. included there, and i sent my husband a copy of ds230 also... i think i will call and bug NVC everyday to find out what is happening to my case... laughing.gif

Just tell your husband to email it. You don't need to send paper copy signed by your husband. My wife emailed it on 09/19 and today they accepted her email and now I am her official choice of agent. Save your self a hassel of mailing on his behalf and all that paper work. Just my opinion, choice is yours smile.gif

Please follow Loto's shortcut to email NVC for choice of agent. No forms required.


right! just email it.. follow Loto's shortcut.. i got email auto response in the same day i emailed mine..

i miscalculated the year i turned 16, that was my DS230 RFE! glad everything's well now.. kicking.gif


what did u put in that question asking the places u lived after reaching 16, since ive been here where i live since i was 11 so i just put july 2001 to present, but i turned 16 april 2001.. do u think it will cause an RFE?



i turned 16 in january 1995 (waaaaay before you were born! tongue.gif ) and i entered june 1996 when i left my province for to study in manila. they asked me where i was prior to june 1996... that is my stupid RFE story. hehe!

usually med exams take 2 days so i suggest not to go on fridays... i just got lucky i made it all in one day (i was there 4:00 am and was 2nd in line heheh)... but mostly give at least 2 days of your time for a med exam... good luck!!!

edit to add: thursday and friday is fine btw (as long as its not close to your interview date)

i dont have interview date yet, i think i will get 1st or 2nd week of July interview
