Ok... I've followed instructions up to this point to a T.

After getting my NVC casenumber etc...Went and payed my $70 fee online. In a couple days it was marked PAID, and I printed out that reciept.

Now's where I'm a bit confused..... Do I send in the Agent thing with this next? or the Affidavit of support stuff (which I already pre prepared...tax returns W2s everything ready to go.

My paper instructions are confusing..they say to follow those after you pay, but it doesn't say much of anything....

Any easy advice will help, and probably to the same for next person that gets to this step.

Thanks,

You can follow the shortcuts if you choose to do so or simply learn about the process at the NVC for CR1/IR1 visas. Loto's guides are also very useful.

Lots of information... information overload.

I'm assuming I can send of the I-864 and documents that go with it without waiting for the DS-3032.

Or must I wait and send DS-3032 first?

HOHOHO:::::::::: First of all DONOT GET CONFUSED .....OK

1.Read LOTTO"s guide again and again ...and write you need for each form on paper seperately.

2.Go through some TIMELINES carefully , read them again and again(see my time line at NVC stage)

3.For 864 ..you need BARCODED SHEET to be printed after paying70 dollar fee not RECEIPT PAGE

4.DS 3032 and AOS are two seperate tracks ....you can mail 864 in 1-2 days after it says AOS fee paid.

Just stopping by to say "Hi!!" I remember you from a few months back when we all were in that wierd waiting game and it took forever to get outta USCIS. I cant believe it took your case so long. But at least you're moving now, and NVC is a bit faster. Good luck to you and the rest of your journey.

do not send anything in, before told to do so. I will get lost. Ds-3032 is, first. Aos fee $70, second. I-V bill $400, third. Then you will be asked for the 864 and what you need for interview.
