piglett

here i am not making this up

A few weeks after you have received your last Notice of Action indicating the approval and forwarding of your I-130 application to the NVC, the NVC will send your relative a packet of forms that you and your relative must fill out before your relative can be given an interview date with a consulate abroad. The packet will likely contain an Of-169 form, and an Of-230 part one and two forms that must be filled out by the intending immigrant. An I-864 form is also included that must be filled out by the petitioner (living in the US). The I-864 is the Affidavit of Support form that requires copies of the petitioners past 3 U.S tax returns (or tax transcripts which are free from the IRS) as well as any bank or financial records available (see the I-864 for exact requirements based on your case). The petitioner must make at least 125% above the U.S federal poverty to indicate to the U.S government that the intending immigrant will not become a federal charge to the government when he/she arrives in the U.S.. If the petitioner cannot meet these requirements, then he/she must still file an I-864, and find a joint sponsor who can meet the requirements on his/her own. When a joint sponsor is needed ,proof of their U.S citizenship or permanent residency is required. (i.e. copy of birth certificate, immigration status etc). The joint sponsor must be residing in the U.S, and he/she must also submit his/her past 3 years U.S tax returns along with bank or any other financial records available. The joint sponsor must submit his/her own I-864 form to accompany the petitioner's I-864 form.

Forms that may be either sent back (or requested to be gathered and kept for the interview) to the NVC or the consulate abroad (depending upon which consulate you are going through) before an interview date with a consulate abroad can be scheduled are as follows:

Pre-Interview Forms / Items: 1. Completed and signed OF-169.

2. Completed and signed Of-230 Part 1 and 2 forms.

3. I-864 Affidavit of Support Form along with past 3 year U.S tax returns (or transcripts) and any other financial documents required.

4. A copy of intending immigrants biographic page of passport(s) including expiration date.

5. Original or certified "long" birth certificate. *

6. Original adoption decree. (if applicable)

7. Marriage certificate. (if applicable)

8. Divorce decree(s) or death certificate(s) (if applicable)

9. Police certificate(s) **

10. Court and prison records.(if applicable)

11. Custody records. (if applicable)

12. Military records (if applicable)

of course you not making it up I just figured if i could mess something up or miss something i probably did..lol..I think she might get this form with her consular documents. i found it and i think its consular specific telling her what they need at interview..Like maybe my husband get it from Albania telling him what to bring..maybe nvc use to send now they don't the actual embassy does..oh and regarding your earlier post , im glad your wife and you pulled thru , you look so nice together in you pic:D

oh and if anyone here whats a face to go along with me, i've been asked.. on my profile click photo and there is my husband and i, i tried different pics but this site kept saying to large, or i dont know what im doing..

Didn't think you were lying, piglett. I was trying to find it for my own peace of mind. If it's consular-specific then no wonder I haven't heard of it.

*reads the link* Huh. Well. Looks like it's a forms/evidence checklist. Which could be good for peace of mind, as a double-check to make sure you have everything; but likely not necessary, as it's basically the same instructions as you find for the DS230.

Plus, if you look at the bottom of the first page, it says it's optional. If it was always optional, then it's likely so many /didn't/ send it in that NVC just stopped recommending it. So if you want to send it in, piglett, then by all means do, and send it with the DS230 packet. That would serve as your cover letter, if you were planning on sending one with your packet.
