NVC -CP- GC Tracker

wellborn · Nov 6, 2005

Hi Wellborn,
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

EX

[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) .

NVC processes Packet 3 between two to three months if visas are current. You can expect your packet 4 this December.

you and my wife are in the same boat, you're a month ahead, though.

you can call the NVC automated response system. this will give you the info whether your case was forwarded (and when) to the embassy here in manila.

if that should be the case, you can send an email inquiring on your possible interview schedule.

hope you can post some development should you receive any.

good luck to you.

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.

wellborn · Nov 22, 2005

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..

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. :crying2:

Is it actually wirtten in your contract that they will pay for one dependnet? Most do not do that. And will require you to pay for your spouse, etc.
