you can request the COA /ds 2032 assignments via electronic mail. The IV fee is the fee paid before the applicant can complete the related documents and forms to REQUEST an immigrant visa to enter the USA.

Hey RICARDO, you seem very knowledgeable about the F2A Visa and immigration in general. Would you please give your opinion about my situation which is described here above under the name of "Farik." Thanks..

well it depends on your income & How many persons are you sponsoring..?!! I have referenced a link below. If you are in the military then and DO NOT live in Alaska or Hawaii then you WILL look/use the TOP part of the page that is in BOLD and says "125% of poverty line."

so if it is you (1), your spouse (1) and a child (1) you have a household of 3 people and you will need to be making $23, 162 or more.. if you are then no co-sponsor is needed..

http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-864p.pdf

Ok I got it. If I submitted the documents and IF ever the NVC finds my income "insufficient", will they tell me to find a co-sponsor for the applicants? I am only in the US for one year.

Thanks much Ricardo! More power!

You can still email it... if you want.. it probably would be quicker and it is better any way so email it today. The NVC will respond with the acceptance and the fees to pay the AOS ($88.00) and IV ($404.00)

can you guys please tell me what are the other supporting documents i have to send with AOS and DS-230?

do we send all the civil documents with DS-230?

Only copies of documents are sent with the AOS forms most of which are documents showing residence... ie. photo copy of US Passport, US Birth Cert., Copy of Green Card/Front back etc.

The Supporting documents for the DS = 230 are all originals or certified documents... except a few i.e Bio page of the Foreign Passport ... did this answer your question or did u want a link up of the Ds-230 documents..? if yes... see below.

Go ahead and submit it since he paid for it already. I'm saying well will NOT submit anything to the mvc until 03/2012 or even the priority date reaches past dec 2009... Makes no sense to submit these documents only to get another we are aiming to prevent this.
