Hello everyone!

Last week I've paid the IV bill and today when I called the NVC center, the AVR said that on april 16 they've sent the instruction package to the beneficiary. So my question is can my wife send the DS-230 with all supporting documents before she receives the Instruction package? Also I haven't mailed the AOS (I-864)package yet, because I'm not sure if I can do it as soon as I paid the Choice of agent bill or do I have to wait a notice from NVC when to do it?

Does it matter if i send just the employment letter, copy of last 3 years tax returns, copy of W-2's just for 2008, but no pay stubs? Are they going to ask for RFE?

Many Thanks .

yes, in my opinion now it's time to send both packages. follow james's shortcuts here on this forum on how to generate cover sheet and everything else you will need to submit packages without waiting for the actual instruction package to arrive to your wife's address.

i sent only 2008 tax return, employment letter and w-2 for 2008 and AOS was immediately accepted.

make sure you send all orginal docs (or certified copies) with DS-230.

Dated since 2004, 10/22/2008 Married in NY, wife left the country, returns on 01/06/2009 as a visitor (granted stay until July 2009)

01/15/2009 Sent I-130 package for CR1 to Chicago Lock Box, 01/19/2009 USCIS Chicago received the application

01/26/2009 USCIS sent out NOA1, 01/28/2009 Moneygrams Order cashed

02/24/2009 Case is in Vermont Processing Center (told by the USCIS by calling the free phone line)

03/02/2009 NOA2 mailed, application approved!!!! (47 days since we mailed I-130 package)

03/05/2009 NVC Received Case / Case number assigned

03/12/2009 DS-3032 / AOS fee bill generated and e-mailed to us, 03/12/2009 I e-mailed and snail mailed DS-3032 and paid AOS fee bill online

03/18/2009 NVC received DS-3032 and it was entered into the system (I never received email confirmation)

03/20/2009 IV Bill generated and I paid online

03/30/2009 Sent I-864 package to NVC, 03/31/2009 Sent DS-230 package to NVC

04/01/2009 IV fee shows unpaid, 04/03/2009 documents are under review (confirmed by operator)

04/06/2009 IV Fee finally shows PAID, 04/07/2009 AVR system says that IV bill has been processed, "instruction package" received by email

04/08/2009 AVR system says "NVC received your documents on April 3...", our case is under review...

04/10/2009 RFE issued for DS-230 Part I, but AOS accepted

04/14/2009 found out the exact issue with DS-230 and sent the response using Chris Parker's RFE shortcut and later in the day received an email checklist for RFE

04/15/2009 RFE response arrived to the NVC facility, 04/20/2009 RFE response received by NVC

04/23/2009 CASE COMPLETED, 06/02/2009 VISA RECEIVED

@@@ Send your PACKAGE only if your case have been GENERATED, if you send it to soon, it will take longer because they have to put it manually and find the right desk. Having a barcodes make it easier for them to place your case in the right person!

Why are their sending packkage to your benificiary, she didnt choose the agent? If the benificiaru chose the petitioner as the AGENT, it saves alot of time. You can e mail the Choice of Agent to the NVC...

if you paid IV bill, it means that it's time you send DS-230 (and AOS package if not sent earlier), that was my experience.

Yes, once DS-230 is generated from NVC, you can sent it in now. Don't wait any longer. MAKE SURE TO PRINT ALL THE BARCODE NEED IT ONLINE. OR JAME'S SHORTCUT.Also

I haven't mailed the AOS (I-864)package yet, because I'm not sure if I can do it as soon as I paid the Choice of agent bill or do I have to wait a notice from NVC when to do it?

Did you paid for the CHOICE OF AGENT BILL? Just called NVC, IF they did generated your I-864 package, it's good time for you to sent in.

Does it matter if i send just the employment letter, copy of last 3 years tax returns, copy of W-2's just for 2008, but no pay stubs? Are they going to ask for RFE?

You need your pay stubs to show you currently employment for your company.

Many Thanks .
