malegolf Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 I need some help, I'm not clear on whether I have my wife collect on the info for the DS-230 and send it to me or does she send it the consulate in GONZ???? I'm reading from the LingChe Short cut page, I think I am reading that I need to send photocopies of everything also?? Thanks Link to comment
george lee Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 malegolf, your wife collects all required documents and DS-230 and mail it to NVC, read my time line. Link to comment
Guest ShaQuaNew Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 malegolf, your wife collects all required documents and DS-230 and mail it to NVC, read my time line. Your wife will receive the paperwork at her home address; it should also include the mailing address where to send the completed forms. I downloaded copies of the forms, completed them using shared information from my then fiancee, saved to a PDF file, and sent to her for mailing. Link to comment

I'm reading from the LingChe Short cut page, I think I am reading that I need to send photocopies of everything also?? Thanks The DS-230 gets sent in during NVC processing. She can fill it all out now, sign it, and send it to you. That's what most ppl do who use the shortcuts. BUT - have her start with the electronic DS-3032 - http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/Email_DS-3032_form BUT ONLY AFTER you've established that the petition is at NVC - re-read them shortcuts la, from top to bottom - at http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/...he_NVC_ShortCut Once the choice of agent form is in play (DS-3032) , you can handle all of the rest of the paperwork. Having her fill out and sign a DS-230 is good, for 'what to do now' - as it'll take some time on the postal mail from China, to get to yer door. Usually a K-1 petition will have a DS-230 in hand to go to GUZ - a CR-1 petitioner submits it during NVC processing in the USA - is not the same 'step'. GOOD LUCK !

Not the same process - You are a K-1 filer - the OP is a CR-1 filer. Steps are different, where to go, what to do , is different. GobSmack ! thwlooooooooooooop !

I'm reading from the LingChe Short cut page, I think I am reading that I need to send photocopies of everything also?? Thanks re: photocopies - yup - PLUS ORIGINALS !!! So you'll need to get from her (original, plus notarial translation) - (usually generated as 'white books' in China) - 1. marriage certificate (original white book is sufficient)2. police certificate3. any divorce certificates of hers plus 4. certified divorce decree from you, the USC, if any. Some ppl get 3 'sets' of originals - might be a good time to get it done NOW in China. There's a list o stuff to do for NVC processing - most of it is in the Ling n Che's Short Cut list - but there's 'other' stuff on the uscis website - see http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3195.html , rehook it back to page 1 - and have a read (or three.. four.. seven even.) Now, this is old, but shows the parallel processing done at NVC - http://www.visajourney.com/examples/NVC_Pr...wchart_v1-2.pdf Good Luck !

' isn't that just for certain types of visas? http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3195.html "Petitioner Documents Applicants in the following visa categories are required to provide 1) an original or certified copy of their Petitioner¡¯s birth certificate and 2) original or certified copy of their Petitioner¡¯s marriage certificate from the Petitioner¡¯s current and all previous marriages. Parent of a U.S. Citizen who is at least 21 years old (IR-5) Brothers and sisters of United States citizens (F4) " Link to comment

malegolf Posted April 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Do I need certified copies of my divorce decrees or just my wife's?? Also is there an area on the NVC website that tells me all the documents I need to submit with the D230?? Thanks Link to comment
malegolf Posted April 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Sorry I didn't click on link above for the NVC list, but I'm still confused about the divorce decrees??? Link to comment
david_dawei Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 you already submitted divorce decrees to USICS, with the I-130 petition... you do not send them again! And I mean, you already sent divorce decrees for either one of you... both are sent with original peition! Link to comment
