I am starting a new thread to track cases from NVC - embassy to GC.
The best news for RN in China, Phillippines and India has been great and informative thread, but I think it is more appropriate and convenient if we start a new thread.
Also with the rapid scheduling of interviews for most of us, I am looking beyond the CP and anticipating the GC!
The August interview schedules are out already in India, and recently in the Philippines and hopefully in China.
Here is my case details
Category : EX Schedule A
USCIS receipt : April 2004
Processing Center : Vermont
I-140 approved : October 2004
NVC case number : MNL2004813XXX
NVC forwarded packet 3 : April 5, 2005
Packet 3 sent back to NVC : May 3, 2005
NVC case completed : May 16, 2005
Consular Interview : August 29, 2005
Visa received : ???
Date of entry in the US :???
GC receive : ????
I hope you can also post here your details interview experience.
What exactly is the difference from the ds-230 forms that you downloaded from the internet to the ones sent by NVC? My friend is also the same boat as yours.
Question No. 1
Does each of the DS-230 forms for you, your husband and your son conatains a BAR CODE on each form?
Question No. 2
What is contained on the first page that you must include to return together with the rest of the forms to NVC? Is it the page that contains the BAR CODE that was generated from NVC?
Question No. 3
Did you already paid all the NVC fees?
I was thinking that the only reason why there are lacking documents stated by NVC is because you failed to return that page that contains the BAR CODE that was generated by NVC. It is somehow weird when your lawyers did not advise you on that matter.

Hi Still_dale,
Answers:
Q1
The forms we received from NVC doesn't have barcodes, only they originally came from NVC and printed on a crisp,off white piece of paper,the paper that has barcode is the one they require to be sent back. The following are the details found on that paper:
YOU MUST RETURN THIS PAGE WITH YOUR DOCUMENTATION. FAILURE TO DO THIS MAY RESULT IN A DELAY IN PROCESSING YOUR DOCUMENTS. PLEASE ATTACH THIS PAGE TO THE FRONT OF THE DOCUMENTS FOR THIS CASE ONLY AND MAIL (if you are sending information on other cases in the same envelope, you must attach the appropriate barcode sheet to the top of the documentation for each individual case included) TO:
NATIONAL VISA CENTER
32 Rochester Ave
Attn:they put code here (ie., TRK-ML)
Portsmouth, NH 03801
MNL2005xxxxxx

[barcode Here]
Q2
Please refer to my answer in Q1. Yes, the page that must be returned contains the barcode.
Q3
Our lawyer was the one who paid. I think before packet forms are sent payment should be made 1st, right?
I really want to know in advance what are the possible missing or incomplete information before I will receive the letter from NVC so I can prepare them in advance and cut down some time delay. I was thinking of sending another email to NVC to inquire but I'm hesitant. I begin to think that this is related to my dependents documents because I have an unmarried friend who was filed with mine, whose case is now completed (the ds230 form she used was also downloaded from the internet) .

Hi! Did you send your birth and marriage certificates, police clearance together with your ds-130 forms and bar code sheet?
my lawyer informed me that nvc was asking if my husband ever used other names because what we filled out in section 2 of ds230 form part i is just n/a;
nvc already reviewed our case but is not complete yet because of this problem. my husband answered n/a but nvc was questioning this. why? any idea? what should be the right answer? i am just wondering why our lawyer did not correct this one in the first place.
when you filled out your ds230 form, what did you answer under section 2? section 2 is other names used or aliases (if married woman, give maiden name). i don't have other names used so i answered my maiden name...how about for my husband? is it ok to place none or his full name?
we already emailed our lawyer about this but got no reply until now.

please help me on this...thanks...
i wrote n/a for the alias section in the ds-230 forms and i did not get any problem with that from nvc.
I am really confused now...Do you think it is alright to call NVC directly about this matter? I am just having some reservations cause my agency is prohibiting us to do so..
i think i will no longer be scheduled for interview this december because its only 1 week to go and its already december. Im keeping my fingers cross that i will be scheduled for interview on january.
Hi everyone, my employer finally sent my DS230 to NVC after I told him that I have started getting hospital experience. I'm now currently working as volunteer nurse. However, I have again another problem. Last Monday, I tried sending an email to NVC to check on the status of my case. They replied saying that they're just waiting for my husband's immigrant visa processing fee to be paid to complete my case. So that means, only my case was paid by my employer and not my husband who is my one and only dependent.
Please let me know what to do. I don't want anymore delays on my papers. I already called the attention of my employer. I'm just waiting for their feedback. How long do you think can the payment be posted in case my employer will pay for it next week? I was just wondering why did they submit my husband's DS230 form if it's not paid yet. My employer said they will shoulder the fee for my case plus one dependent. How come it's not paid? I'm so worried, I thought everything's fine by now.
