Did you paid the AOS and IV bills already?

Go to the fee bills website and look if the fees are already invoice. if not you most wait until the fees are generated before sending the package

You can send your change of agent form anytime after you have your INN and NVC numbers. Don't wait if its ready. The packets PSDavid is refering to is the AOS packet and the IV packet., I think. You will pay the AOS first then you can send that packet. Then you will pay the IV bill and then you can send the IV packet. You don't have to wait for them to request the packets but for the AOS and IV packets you need the coversheet with bar ode and you can download that off the same payment portal where you make your payment once its marked paid. But the change agent form DS3032 can be sent NOW! Don't wait. That will slow down the payment requests if you wait. Good luck. Did you find the ling che shortcut page? That will help you a lot if you follow it.

You can email and mail the choice of agent. I don't know what one is faster though. I have 2 daughters that we have filed separate i-130's for. One is some how about 1 week behind the other. For the first one my husband emailed it. A week later we panicked that maybe the email would not work so when it was time to send the choice of agent for our next i-130 we mailed both of them. The next day we got a email that they entered our choice of agent that we emailed 1 week earlier. So now we wait for them to enter the choice of agent for our 2nd daughter that we mailed. It has been 1 week waiting now for the one we mailed.

Now that our next step is to mail our ds-230. It is hard to figure out what to send. Our girls are 5 and 8 years old. Do we send our marriage and prior divorce papers. If so do we need one original for each package? We can go to the court house and get another original if each if needed but i am not sure it is our papers they want or just the ones for the girls who at their age haven't been married or divorced yet. Laugh. In that case we just send their birth certificates passport photocopys etc. Only a few things that way. I just want a list for what to send for young children with a stand alone i-130. For the ds-230.

These packets are for your girls so only their papers must be sent. We just sent all our papers for my step daughter and we dis not sent any marriage or divorce papers because she has never been married or divorced. We just ent the photos, DS 230, birth certificate original, copy and translation if not in English, and copy of the info page of her passport. I think that was it. Good luck! My step daughter is 3 so I imagine its the same!

Thank you so much. I knew we were over thinking this. We will have both our packages ready and inside another envelope mailed in one package to be sure they get processes together. This way we can have one interview for both at the same time. I hope.

Hey guys, I just realized that I havent received NOA1 yet. I sent the pkg on 7/26 and my check was cashed on 8/2. I used the case number from the email and text to check online, it is in initial review. But it says that on 7/30 they received my petition and mailed me a notice on how to proceed etc etc. I assume my priority date will be 7/30. Today is 8/9 though, and I still havent gotten NOA1. Should I be worried? Should I call them up? Is there any way to get a duplicate?

Don't worry. I sent 2 separate i130's in January. I only received the paper copy for one of them in the mail. But i did get my email for both of them. You will never need the paper copy any way. As long as you got the email you can use it to check the status on line.
