IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresAny format for the AOS cover sheet?
Hi is there a format cover sheet to state what all documents are in the I864 package?

Dont want to get this wrong although it sounds simple.

Also what is teh correct and current mailing address to send the I 864 to???

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduressome ques on DS230?
My DS3032 got accepted and I received an email today. My hubby has paid the IV bill just now.

What all do i send in the DS230 package?I have my form ready.What size photos do i have to take?Do I have to send original docs in the package?(marriage certi, birth certi...)how will I know if I have to send originals or xerox copies?

My friend who also had an IR1 visa case sent copies and not originals...she took the originals to the interview.

Awaiting a reply.

I am getting my DS230 ready and also interview stuff like emails,photos etc.You should do the same.


What emails? I have a wife AND an infant son living in Russia, what other proof do they need? I'm flying there 3 times a year and I'm totally sick of living like that. US immigration laws are inhuman, period! I hate them!


I totally agree with you..the rules should be diff for spouses of USC's....Its horrible that we have to prove our relationship but i guess its because of some people who have misused the whole imigration process.

hey I had read the same hence emailed the 3032..however I have also read if we have emailed we should not mail teh package...so am just praying that i get godo news soon and my hubby can pay teh IV fee and i can send off my 230 package which is almost ready.

Have you called to check on your DS3032?what have they told you?We both at the same stage...

am sure next week will bring good news:)


I've been calling them every day smile.gif When calling NVC waiting time is almost non-existent, unlike calling USCIS. They all say the same: wait, we will process it, we have large volume of email, etc. I have complete DS-230 packages ready to go, this stupid Choice of Agent thing is the only thing holding both my cases.


Hey i understand how u feel..i feel teh same...NVC waiting is much lesser....we both sailing in the same boat...but i have a strong feeling that good news is on the way soon for both of us:)have faith in god!! am sure everyone is sending via email thats why the long wait...but as everyone says ...if you send via email dont send via mail as it will slow down teh process.So am just waiting patiently.I am getting my DS230 ready and also interview stuff like emails,photos etc.You should do the same.

Keep me informed....am calling NVC on tues again!!

hey my hubby is the USC and my petitioner.Am in India and I will call again on tues to check the status.However my hubby os checking the online payment to see if the IV bill becomes ready to pay.

I know this is really frustrating coz we held up coz of the simplest form.However i agree that NVC is fast ...USCIS was slow but we have to agree that we are here coz of USCIS(atleast they finally approved our case)

Will keep in touch in this journey.

Hi everyone. DS-3032 for my son is still not processed although I've emailed it 10 days ago (please see my signature). I called NVC multiple time already, they say to wait. I should have express-mailed DS-3032 besides emailing it, but I was told that email should be faster and decided not to bother with mailing hard copies. On the other hand, I-864s for son and wife were processed by NVC in just 1 day. Slow DS-3032 processing is the only thing holding both cases now, this is very annoying. DS-3032 is the simplest of all NVC forms and less important one, they should accept DS-3032 over the phone but they refuse to do it. Anyone knows if they process hard copies of DS-3032 faster than email or slower?


Hey u know what i sent my DS3032 via email on 6th aug and its still not processed. I have called NVC 3 times till now and they say they are processing july 30th emails:(( So dont know how long ours will take...its better to wait and have faith in god coz it will surely get processed.In the meantime send the I864 package along with the AOS fee barcoded sheet with status paid.

My case is held up as i cant send the DS230 and neither can my hubby pay the IV fee:(

Lets be in touch.When you call NVC you can ask them which dates emails they are working on.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresdo we send a cover letter with DS230?
hey trailmix thats exactly what i did...photocopied the originals and got them certified by a person who is in a position and designation to certify. We have a confirmation now frm NVC that its okay to send them.I will take teh originals to my interview.They can keep the certified ones.

Igg my hubby and I have been stressed with this so he just called NVC and they said certified copies are fine.So we are sending the original certified copies and an extra copy.

Hoping and praying that all goes well:)God willing!!

SEnd in the barcoded cover sheet you will print off from the payment site.

YES, a cover letter detailing what the package is, and a detailed list of its contents.
Make 2 copies of the entire thing, send a copy (with the original) to the NVC, keep a copy for yourselves.
WRite case number on every single page. For original docs, use a sticky note to write your case number on.
We only sent in 2 photos with name, DOB and case number written on the back.

Very important that you make 2 exact copies of this and send them one.

Very best of luck to you...

hey thanks Igg and paris for the info....so just to summarize

1. Have to send the IV bill sheet with status PAID.
2. Cover sheet detailing all that is in teh packet.
3. Am sending certified copies of all my documents- will carry oroginals to the interview...Is that ok?since I am not wiating for an email from NVC to give me instructions on the DS230 is it ok to send certified copies?
3. Will be sending 2 photos to NVC with the details at the back of them as advised.
4. Do I need to send them 1 copy of all the docs or 2???
