Guys, I've a query regarding AOS. As per LingChe's Shortcut & Loto's guide following docs are required while submitting the AOS to NVC. My concern is - if the petitioner does not have a Letter of Employment, would the Pay Stubs be fine!? or is Letter of Employment a must!?

LingChe:

AOS Packet

a. Bar-coded cover sheet

b. Completed and signed form I-864 by the petitioner

c. IRS tax transcripts for the last three years

(Call IRS at 800-908-9946 to order them for free)

d. Petitioner's employment letter

e. Petitioner's pay stubs for the current year

Loto:

When status of the AOS shows as PAID (online): Print the barcode and include it in your AOS package which are:

. BARCODED Cover Sheet (to be printed from web when your status is PAID online for AOS bill)

. Your OWN cover sheet listing what documents are in the package, so they're easy for the reviewer to locate

. Completed I-864 signed

. Original Employment Letter

. Most recent tax return (all forms)

. Copy of PAY STUBS for current year (showing how much money you have made year to date)

. Last 3 years Tax transcripts, W-2 and/or 1099 (any source of income) OPTIONAL

SPONSOR: I-864 + all above documents for sponsor. Each sponsor that lives in the same household as the petitioner, should use I-864a, instead of I-864

Make 2 extra copies of this package. Send 1 copy to the beneficiary

WOOHOO... CONGRATS Saleem.

Thanks Erick!!! I'm still in relative disbelief, didn't think I'd be able to escape the blackhole deathgrip so fast

I don't think it's a "MUST"... I have read where some people have NOT sent a letter of employment.... BUT.... if it is at all possible to get one.... I would. Just my 2 cents.

I just noticed you're going to be at the Chennai consulate- I was in Chennai a few weeks ago attending a radiation biology conference at Sri Ramachandra University. Wife and I stayed at the Taj Fisherman's Cove- what a beautiful area!

It just verifies your pay stubs...cross referencing your documentation basically and adds a little more proof....I'm planning to include the last 8 paystubs or so as well as the letter of employment just in case.....

The letter of employment isn't absolutely necessary- if you have it send it in. If you don't, send in a couple extra paystubs.

It's not mandatory. But it's a good idea to send something in to show proof of current income (such as 2010 tax returns, employment letter, pay stubs, bank statements). My husband hasn't filed yet for 2010 taxes, so he submitted an employment letter and I believe it was 8 months of pay stubs.
