Yes, that's the link to the DS-230.

The I-864 can be found here: http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=b70f8875d714d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCRD&vgnextchannel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD

Unfortunately, no, it can't be scanned. It has to be the original form with the original signatures.

LoveNigar,

Do i just mail the DS230 Forms without supporting any documents then they will mail me a checklist of what i need to send to them? I am trying to be proactive since i heard they are asking for original documents not photocopies so want to ask my wofe to mail off the list of documents to me instead of doing one by one.

Has your wife paid the AOS fee and sent in the documents? If so, get the DS230 from the website I sent you fill it up and make a copy for yourself and mail the original to your wife so she can have it to be mailed out with the IV package once she has paid for that as well.

One doesn't need to send all the documents together but it is better to send it all together with the proper cover sheets and it saves time and money to be mailed out together.

Don't rush all will be okay. Just make sure you answer the questions correctly and I would advice that you look at the Biography sheet which you originally filled out so you can compare the answers you are giving.

Please click on the last two links in my signature. The second post (a FAQ) lists all the documents for the IV package.

No, you mail the DS-230 along with the supporting documents all in one package (called the IV package).

Good on you for wanting to be proactive

You probably won't have your case number assigned by Thursday. It's taking nearly one month from approval to case number being assigned. You still have a few more weeks to go.

Thanks Saylin

So for the IV Package the required documents says original birth and marriage certificate.. wow, they need the original one

Now can send the AOS and IV Package at the same time ?

You also need a photocopy of the beneficiary's bio page of their passport and any original police certificates, military records, and divorce documents.

For the birth and marriage certificates, it's either the original or certified copy.

And yes, you can send the packages together.
