The first place you will notice that they accepted the 3032 is on the payment website... When the payment for IV becomes available, it was accepted, you will also get an e-mail saying that the payment for IV is available, that is when you know...

As far as the PCC, it has to be an original or certified copy (certified meaning by the issuing party) so I would say you have to send the original to them...

Now that you have the NVC case#, call them and give them your (and beneficiary's) email address because that's the easiest and fastest way to reach you. Once they have your email, they will send you the generated AOS bill (and your IIN) and DS3032 form. It is up to you when you want to pay. When it is already paid and it shows PAID online, you can send in your AOS package and if no RFE, then you're done. For your case to complete, your wife should send her Choice of Agent form and (you) pay the IV bill when it's generated and when it shows PAID online, she can then send her IV package (birth and marriage certificates, police clearance, ds-230 form, 2x2 pictures, photocopy of passport, IV and her own coversheet, all in originals and photocopies of each documents)...then WAIT.

Thank you SOO much Chris@beth. This really helped a lot!

So. I had a question about email size to the NVC because my I-864 email package keeps being rejected. If I didn't optin for electronic filing, then I'd just mail it in, but I can't. Anyway, I call the NVC and tell them my story, I opted in for electronic filing, blah blah blah, I'm trying to email it in but its being rejected, is there a size limit? She tells me, oh, just mail it in, it still shows that we are handling the case. So I say, but I opted in for electronic filing for the Montreal consulate I can't mail it in. She said to me, I don't think Montreal has electronic filing only Japan does. So I said, yes it does, the instructions are right on your website, I emailed to this address to opt in and basically told her the procedure on how to efile for Montreal. She said oh, I didn't know that! I see it now, thank you for showing me that... Can I have a job at the NVC now please????

So I'm still having issues emailing the I-864 package. So I'm going to have to rescan a few things AGAIN to make the files smaller this time. (Last time I forgot to write the case number on the papers) GRRRRRRRRRR The hubby says I should send the info in a few emails. I don't trust the NVC to put them together, so it looks like I"m scanning again tonight... 3 nights in a row....

MsSheka.... where is your NOA2??????

Redmen have you converted the scans to .PDF format? This will reduce the size tremendously and I bet will be accepted. I will try and find out what the maximum size is. Also if you are emailing it in you do not need to write the case number on it. Are you consolidating all documents in 1 attachment which would make it easier for them to view.

Christeen, you don't know how much we appreciate your knowledge of these things!!! It's great that when I have a question about something and luckily somebody asks and you answer!!! Thank you! Ok, one more question now With having the IRS transcripts, do you still send in the W2s and 1099s too?

I collected all of this stuff and just wondering if I should mail it all in when they ask for it. I qualify for the 864ez too, but I have papers for my savings, checking, investments, etc... I don't need to submit that because of qualifying for 864ez?

Ok. Im getting a wee bit confused. our AOS is now posted as paid. Do we send the I-864 package now or do we wait till pay the IV bill before sending anything. I just got so confused with everything i have been reading.

Thanks!

I think Christeen explained it the best.... just remember AOS fee paid=AOS(864) package. IV fee paid=IV(beneficiary's original papers) package.

I had my husband send me all his original papers so I can put his package together and send it to the NVC. Too many horror stories of packets being sent from Egypt and disappearing in route...

I actually mailed out his ds-3032 from here since he signed the one I printed out and mailed it to me!

Tax transcripts are enough. No need for W2's and 1099's.

As long as you qualify for I-864EZ, you dont need the saving, checking and investment stuff.

When you see that your AOS bill is PAID, print coversheet, and send in the required documents. Dont forget to write your NVC number on ALL the pages, and do a coversheet also. Best wishes.

I think Paris addressed your question... If you qualify for EZ, you dont need to clog them with the savings, checking and other info... If you have your transcripts and they are above the 125%, then the 1099s, W2s etc... are not needed...

For anyone confused the formula is this

Petitioner = Get NVC # + receive AOS fee bill + pay 70$ online + wait to show paid + print cover sheet + send 854 AOS with all documents and case # written on each page

Benificerary = Get NVC# + receive 3032 + send 3032+ 3032 accepted + IV fee bill available to be paid + pay and wait to show paid + print IV cover sheet + mail 230 package with all original/certified documents

======= wait for case complete + wait for interview to be scheduled

Good luck to all!!!

The NVC instruction stated the last year only if you are sending I-864ez.

Only need the last year, however if you have the past 3 years, you can send them... his original question was if he needed 5 years or just the past 3, so I answered the past 3 is fine...
