Question:

On ds-230 says "Including my present marriage, I have been married ( ) times. She has never been married before and we put 1 in there. Is it 0?

People that already have filed this form, does it have any tricks that I should know by now?

We had what was supposed to be a small wedding in the US, but it ended being biggish due to the influence of the mother-in-law. But as I had almost no say in any of my own wedding planning, my husband promised me a second wedding/vow renewal for our 5th wedding anniversary so I can have everything exactly how I always pictured it. :)

Due to the way the question is worded you would put "1". Only other tricky one I can think of at this time is that if she doesn't know what exactly she will be doing for work when she gets here, you'll want to enter "Unknown" for the last part of question 22 where it asks "In what occupation do you intend to work in the United States?"

Thank you CHD, you are a great help!!

You have three more years to go to have a big wedding, you may be able to invite all VJ friends.

We are going to part :dance:

@Ling Ling, hows your throat? :unsure:

Hi everybody,

my husband wanted to pay the AOS fee bill tonight.

When he logged in, there were two bills waiting to be paid - the AOS fee bill and also the IV fee bill.

Does it mean that our IV bill has already been generated? He didn´t ask me and paid both bills anyway.

Thanks Martina :dance:

You are good to go, it means that they have enetered your DS-3032 into their system. I guess sometimes on Tuesday you will have both of them showing as PAID.

Good Luck

1) You have your case number

2) You have your IIN

2.5) DS-3032 has to be filled out and overnighted to the center ASAP, do it fast.

3) You need to go online and pay your AOS fee

4) Have your sponset to fill out their forms and have them signed + all requeired documents which has to be submitted along with forms (Read Loto's shortcut)

5) next day or second day after your pay AOS online, it becomes as PAID. Print out the cover barcode sheet and send all AOS docs to the right address.

-- I-864 - All dox below, if you have sponser then + their dox

-----------1) Barcoded Cover Sheet (you will print out from web when your status is paid online for AOS bill)

-----------2) Completed I-864 signed

-----------3) Last 3 years tax transcipt (Call

-----------4) Original Employment Letter

-----------5) Copy of Paystubs for last 6 months

-----------6) Last 3 years W-2 and 1099 (any source of income) OPTIONAL

Same papers are requiered for the sponset + I-864A form

AOS Bill finally said "PAID"

DS3032 should be received today, or tormorow

So now what with I-864 package?

Here is my story. I've lived problem free life, payed my taxes. One day I decided to marry this girl. But to do so would require her to come to US of A, and so it started. My problem free live turned in to free problems from USCIS! Sure things turned to unsure, certain dates turned to aproximation within months. All logical thinking was out the door, as I filed my papers withing famous Vermont Centre!

So now what with I-864 package?

Print out the barcode sheet from WEB where you paid the AOS and put it as the first page of AOS package and send it out.

If you have tracking for your DS-3032, as soon as they got it, make sure you check online payment site to see if IV is available.

GoodLuck
