Right got it, clear as Mississsippi Mud pie, seriously though I do get it and all for ease of use and who knows, got to be easier for them to process also

britishspouse

yeah indeed !

From what ive read they are fazing in a new version of the DS-230 forms so maybe when my IV bill is paid I will get to fill in the newer versions of those too

Wolfy

Nooooooooooo dont say that, just sent mine to the wife along with my civil docs she will need to send to NVC....Oh bugger!

britishspouse

Im not certain on that, just rememebr seeing somewhere they are slowly bringing in newer versions.

http://travel.state.gov/visa/forms/forms_1342.html

I went to http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigra...info_5164.html and checked to see if I would be eligible to use the new one but it says not, so looks like its teh regular DS-230 anyway Says that My application is using the conventional processing rather than the new electronic kind.

I also stumbled across this post http://www.visajourney.com/forums/to...o-ds-230-form/ Which is dated march 2011 but it seems the newer version they speak of is the one we have probably filled out so should be fine.

Wolfy

All the while I have been looking around at the NVC steps, the last 15 mins........

WE HAVE BEEN APPROVED!

Now the Fun begins!!
