I-864 & DS-230 Questions

[ushahid1217 0]

Hi Everyone,

I have some questions that I need to get answers to before I can send my I-864 AOS packet. My AOS 70.00 bill fee has been processed and paid and last night I have paid my IV Bill fee of 400.00 online which is in process. Today I am organizing my AOS packet which I want to send out. Below are some questions I need answers that would certainly help me out.

1. It says on the James SHORTCUTS checklist that with the AOS packet attach the I-864 BARCODED COVER SHEET, is this the same DOCUMENT COVERSHEET that I received once my 70.00 AOS bill fee was processed and paid.

2. Now I know once my 400.00 dollar IV bill fee is processed and paid I am expected to receive another document coversheet do I have to wait for my IV bill fee document cover sheet to attach it to this I-864 packet.

3. It says that submit your pay stubs from the most recent 6 months, and/or a letter from your employer. I am attaching only 2 paystubs because I just recently got a new job and have been there only 2 months so I only got 2 paytubs, however I also did get a letter from employment verification as well, Do I still need to attach 6 months of paystubs???.

4. The other concern that I have is when I first filed the I-130 application which was back in December of 2008, I worked for a different employer than and I put down their information on the I-130 packet, but I recently changed my employer and by submitting my new employers paystubs to the I-864packer, will that make a difference at all???.

5. My wife who is the beneficiary back overseas, can she fill out the DS-230 packet now or I have to wait till NVC receives my I-864 packet. Also since I am her choice of agent now, can I print out the DS-230 form and mail it to her and she can fill it out and mail it back to me or she has to fill it out herself and mail direct to NVC.

6. And say she mails the DS-230 form back to me, that means all the supporting documents such as Police report, birth certificate etc will be sent to me and then I will send all those documents to NVC myself.

I would appreciate if someone can answer these questions because I am eager to send my I-864 out in a day or two, and until I dont have answers to these questions I wont be comfortable at all. Thank you very much and I pray everyone meets their loved ones soon.

Regards.

Yes.....but You can make one coverletter too for ur AOS packet.PM me if you need the template

2. Now I know once my 400.00 dollar IV bill fee is processed and paid I am expected to receive another document coversheet do I have to wait for my IV bill fee document cover sheet to attach it to this I-864 packet.

IV barcoded cover sheet has to be attached with ds-230 packet only

3. It says that submit your pay stubs from the most recent 6 months, and/or a letter from your employer. I am attaching only 2 paystubs because I just recently got a new job and have been there only 2 months so I only got 2 paytubs, however I also did get a letter from employment verification as well, Do I still need to attach 6 months of paystubs???.

I submitted last 3 paystubs and thank God no RFE.it is optional so send what you have available

4. The other concern that I have is when I first filed the I-130 application which was back in December of 2008, I worked for a different employer than and I put down their information on the I-130 packet, but I recently changed my employer and by submitting my new employers paystubs to the I-864packer, will that make a difference at all???.

Don't worry abt this as every one change jobs,i did too and they didnt inquire anything as of yet....if you are too concern, mention it in ur coverletter

5. My wife who is the beneficiary back overseas, can she fill out the DS-230 packet now or I have to wait till NVC receives my I-864 packet. Also since I am her choice of agent now, can I print out the DS-230 form and mail it to her and she can fill it out and mail it back to me or she has to fill it out herself and mail direct to NVC.

yes.she can.tell her to start working on it and send it to u.After you pay ur IV fee and have ur barcoded coversheet,u can mail ds-230 and all supporting docs to NVC.

6. And say she mails the DS-230 form back to me, that means all the supporting documents such as Police report, birth certificate etc will be sent to me and then I will send all those documents to NVC myself.

yes...as ur her agent......best of Luck

I was also laid off from job and had to get new job. After 2 week of new job i send AOS without any paystub , thank god it was approved without any RFE.But i send employment letter from my recent employer4. The other concern that I have is when I first filed the I-130 application which was back in December of 2008, I worked for a different employer than and I put down their information on the I-130 packet, but I recently changed my employer and by submitting my new employers paystubs to the I-864packer, will that make a difference at all???.

I had same problem like urs so far it did not trouble me .

5. My wife who is the beneficiary back overseas, can she fill out the DS-230 packet now or I have to wait till NVC receives my I-864 packet. Also since I am her choice of agent now, can I print out the DS-230 form and mail it to her and she can fill it out and mail it back to me or she has to fill it out herself and mail direct to NVC.

u can do it but she needs to sign on ds 230 part 1

6. And say she mails the DS-230 form back to me, that means all the supporting documents such as Police report, birth certificate etc will be sent to me and then I will send all those documents to NVC myself.

yes

I would appreciate if someone can answer these questions because I am eager to send my I-864 out in a day or two, and until I dont have answers to these questions I wont be comfortable at all. Thank you very much and I pray everyone meets their loved ones soon.
