IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI-130 Approved , I-864 Sent What's Next?

When I called the NVC help line, they told me I'd need to scan the docs and e-mail, however they don't know which docs until after they complete the review of the DS-260, so I should just sit and wait until they request the docs-

The USCIS website is remarkably inconsistent.

For example, there was a note that I must translate all the Spanish documents into English and those translations must be sent with the documents. Yesterday over the phone the NVC center (really an employee of Serco Inc and doesn?t work for the US Government) told me that since our appointment will be in the same country as the documents originated, Mexico that the translations are not needed.

Do I trust the website or the employee from Serco Inc?

I can write a book on the inconsistencies between the USCIS websites and forms, it makes it incredibly difficult for someone to decipher all their online mistakes and miscues.

I am thinking about being proactive and sending the scans of the documents today, birth certificates & marriage certificate.

I know the DS-260 is electronic, however I thought I needed to mail the original docs, birth certificate, etc with the cover sheet with a barcode

That's correct, MEP.

Should I mail all the original docs to:

 

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


 

Should I do that now, or be waiting for some e-mail from them. When I sent the DS-260 there was a pop up regarding them contacting me in 5-10 days or something like that, and I can't get back into that exact page.

Thanks,

I had to look at my paperwork, but yes I did the DS-261, it was done online, they game my a receipt with a few barcodes on the front...

I?m sure this question has been answered a thousand times, however I can?t find it while searching this site.

 

If someone could point me to previous posts which answer my question, that would be awesome.

 

Completed an I-130 for my wife and her 2 children (we currently live in Mexico) and have been approved.

 

Just paid the $88.00 and e-mailed the I-864, Affidavit of Support, now I am waiting to receive notice to send the DS-260, and DS-261, Choice of Address and Agent.

I will need to fly my family to Juarez pretty soon. I guess we do blood tests there, and a few other steps, I am looking to read about the process so we may better prepare ourselves.

What's next?

Thanks in advance!

Paul
