Hi guys,

I need some insight about the vaccinations to do an estimate how much I should expect to pay.

I don't have my vaccinations record, for my age (31, will I be required to take all the shots from the NVC list or the physician will determine which ones? If so what have been your experience?

Thanks !!

If you don't have a vaccination record, then you'll need to get all the vaccinations re-done that are age-appropriate. Here's the list for your age: http://www.panelphysicians.com/Pages/Age6.htm

I'd suggest getting them done ahead of time at a clinic as it'll most likely be cheaper. Then just bring those records to the medical.

Send the DS-3032 now! Why wait?

Thanks Saylin!

I sent DS3032 via email yesterday and just received an email regarding the AOS bill invoice which i paid already and it's showing status processing) and printed out the cover sheet, but I haven't received any email regarding the DS3032 acceptance, only got auto generated response.

Now i have couple of questions regarding the sending the AOS package:

1- When i need to send the AOS package, right after when the status shows "Paid"?

2- which form i need to use I-864 or I-864EZ (I'm sponsoring my wife only and using my earned income)

i really appreciate your help

Thanks,

Keep in mind, the DS-3032 is part of the IV track, which has NOTHING to do with the AOS track. They're both independent tracks of NVC. I suggest you look at my signature and click on the NVC flowchart link. You'll see what I mean visually.

Like Ryan already answered:

1 - Yes, wait till it shows as PAID before sending the AOS package or it can cause delays.

2 - Up to you. You have to meet the three criteria though for the I-864EZ otherwise you can't use it. If you do qualify though, I suggest using the I-864EZ as it's much shorter than the I-864.

Guys,

I printed my cover sheet bar code when my AOS fee said PAID. but next day I saw the website again, it my fee was REJECTED.

I needed to pay again, cos the first payment didnt go. My question: Should I print another cover sheet? right?

Since now it says PAID again.... and it actually when through now.

My package is with my co-sponsor, but I'm not sure if he needs to print a new cover sheet or not.

Someone told me that if I dont they will not accept my AOS package and I'll need to send all over again =/

I dont wanna call NVC cos they may give me wrong info, it happened before ¬¬"

thanks!
