Greetings all. We just started our journey, sending off our I-130 early this month. Of course, I would like to get a jump on all the paperwork that will be needed after I-130 approval. Regarding the I-864, I would like to have it finished along with my employment letter from my company, but I don't want it to be "outdated" by the time I actually need it. Does anyone have any advise regarding how long the I-864 and my employment letter would be "valid" for? If we get I-130 approval later this year or early next year, do you think an I-864 w/employment letter dated now would be considered too old?

USCIS

2010-09-07 I-130 Sent

2010-09-14 I-130 NOA1 received

2010-12-17 I-130 NOA2 (no email notification, no change in status on the USCIS website, hardcopy did not come in mail until 2011)

NVC

2010-12-21 NVC Received (was calling NVC every day, found out from them about approval over a week before NOA2 rec'd in mail)

2010-12-24 email address given to NVC, IIN number received from NVC operator

2010-12-24 I-864 AOS bill available - paid immediately

2010-12-24 DS-3032 emailed

2010-12-27 I-864 AOS bill showing as "paid", printed coversheet, mailed I-864 packet overnite

2010-12-27 Mailed "backup" DS-3032 overnite

2011-01-03 DS-3032 has been accepted, per the automated message

2011-01-03 DS-230 IV bill available - paid immediately

2011-01-06 Rec'd last of the supporting DS-230 docs from beneficiary

2011-01-06 DS-230 IV bill showing as "paid", printed coversheet, mailed DS-230 packet overnite

2011-01-07 DS-230 packet delivered to NVC

2011-01-11 AVR indicates DS-230 was received, waiting on AOS still, however, confirmed with operator they have both pieces

Yes way too old. You need it dated within 1-2 weeks. It has to be UP-TO-DATE. New as possible. The same with all supporting documents for it.

Your I-129f was approved in 5 days from your NOA1 date.

Your interview took 67 days from your I-129F NOA1 date.

AOS was approved in 2 months and 8 days without interview.

ROC was approved in 3 months and 2 days without interview.
