MY DAUGHTER IS 16 YEARS OLD AND NOT MARRIED.

I-130 GOT APPROVED. I AM CONFUSED BECAUSE NCV SEND ME AN AOS FEES

You have to get your daughter here on a valid visa before she has claim to citizenship ( assuming she does ) To go the I130 path you have to pay all the fees involved in getting the visa and these fees include the AOS fees. The one thing you can "cheat" on is the I864 there is one for those that will be immediate citizens.

USCIS does not charge you a fee to file the I-864w, but the State Dept. does charge a fee to review the I-864w. The review fee is what you paid.

Thank you. I have two questions:

1. What are the documents required for I-864W? In the instructions there is nothing about documents.
2. How can I start a new timeline on the site for my daugher?
