Do most people send the AOS and DS-320 at the same time? Or is it better to send each packet separately?

After a second reading of your post. I didn't send both of mine in at the same time because I didn't get them both paid at the same time. I didn't wait and sent in each one individually in the same sequence as I receive the bill. I think most do it this way but you can send them in together if you find yourself in that situation or choose to do so. The bottom line is just get them in!!! :thumbs::yes:

The short answer is HECK YES!!! If you have both packages showing as paid and they are both complete, then send them both in one courier package. Just make sure they are each adequately separated from one another just like the were being sent separately with it own cover sheet with Bar Code. No loose papers in the package... Shipping Monday? I would...

Thanks TomD. We paid our AOS bill, just waiting for confirmation that its PAID. If the visa bill comes up, we'll pay that too and send both packets in together.

Ok, I was taking my dinner break at work.. Checked the online portal, I could still sign in (3 weeks and 3 days of waiting for SIF). I had 15mins to kill, so I figured, what the heck, called NVC, got through after 5th redial.. then AVR said, "Your case was completed on October 13th, please wait....". I jumped and called my husband right away! And when I got home after work at approx 2345, I called NVC and was on hold for 30mins+. I was thinking maybe I should hang up because I though maybe the NVC guys are all gone, but this very nice operator answered and he verified that we're CC, final review and all that! I asked for a possibility of a November interview (hey, I had to ask.. :P), and he said unfortunately Nov interview's all booked and full. That's ok,I'm still thrilled we got CC today and no RFEs!!! :dance: :dance: :dance: And I thought I was having a crappy day at work...

Congratulations! :dance:

When we went through NVC last year we were able to pay both invoices within a few days of each other so I waited and sent both packages in together. We had no issues at all. Case can't be completed without both of them anyway so it didn't hold us up at all. Good luck!

Another question: I see that there is an I-864 and an I-864EZ. My husband meets all requirements for the I-864 EZ, should he just send that one or should he do the long form one?

Requirements: All three of the following are true:

-You filed a Form I-130 petition, for your relative

-The there is only one applicant on the Form I-130 petition, and

-All your qualifying income comes from a salary or pension and shows on one or more W-2 forms that you receive (has IRS tax returns from the last 3 eyars)

Kim- Woo hoo!!! :dance: :dance: :dance::thumbs: :thumbs: Congrats on the SIF!!!! Any date on the rescheduled interview for yourself?

Mrs. D.-I can't help anyone with my AOS experience really. All I did was wait and fret and worry and ponder moving everything to Peru a half dozen times and mapping out all of the details. Not very useful to anyone :P But thank you :)

Tom- Yeah. I looked over his paperwork, even though we went through the packet line for line and I told him what to put where. It kinda sucks though because I will have to write a note to NVC saying that while he is married and filed jointly...I am only using his income (even though they make you put the couple's total). Luckily I have his W2's so they can figure it out (I hope!). He also sent me other papers that were filed which has me wondering if I should send them or not. I know that technically I don't need to send all of his junk in but I'd hate to get an RFE for it. Off to explore the VJ site for sure. :wacko:

Rich- That is too bad to hear. I hope it is something that they will just let you bring to the interview stage. Could it be the same issue as Kevin?

We still have many hurdles to over come but hopefully we will continue to move in the right direction. :star:

I hope everyone has a great weekend! Mine will be full of copying paperwork and going over my lovely package to send it out on Monday from work. I'm not looking forward to the bill though... :wacko:

Teya i do not know. i will ask them on monday if i can do this. i think it is the federal police certificate. i found out this morning after hearing the AVR. so monday at 7:30 in the morning i will be their first call and ask them if she can scan it in and send it to them via the scanner if this is what it is and bring it with her to the interview. they have all this from last year and i am aware that the police certificates expire after 6 months but she wa shere for 8 months last year so she was only there for 2 weeks before we reapplied. so hopefully they will find it in their hearts to allow us to bring with us to the interview.

OBX,

I love what your Avtaar says: "I RUN BECAUSE I CAN".

Maybe its worth to have a look at the following too:

JUST BECAUSE ONE CAN DOES NOT MEAN ONE SHOULD.

any thoughts?
