Congrats on your i130 approval!

I just called the NVC and they told me my case was completed today and now waiting for an interview date in Bogota, so I feel your joy! As far as your question about paperwork. I followed the guidelines from this thread and it helped out a ton. http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/365453-nvc-filers-may-2012/

After I-130 approval, It took about a week but I received my new BGT case number. I then emailed a DS-3032 template to the NVC from my spouses email address. After a week, I received confirmation that the DS-3032 was received. A couple days later, I logged onto the NVC website https://ceac.state.gov/CTRAC/Invoice/signon.aspx and registered. After a couple of days the status changed where I was able to pay, I paid the $88 AOS fee. I then submitted my AOS packet. For the AOS packet, I submitted transcripts of my tax returns for the past 3 years from the IRS website (they only ask for 1 year, but 3 years is good proof). Recent pays stubs, pay stubs when I initially started working and a letter from my employer that states how long i've been employed, my wages and my job duties (not needed but good proof).

A coupled days later, I was able to pay the DS-230 fee, $230. I submitted the DS-230 along with this paperwork. 2 Passport photos, copy of the passport Bio page, Police Certificate (you can download it from this website, you just need your spouses id number http://antecendentes.polica.gov.co , Original copy and photo copy of Birth Certificate and Civil Marriage Certificate. ( I also submitted a photo copy of my spouses ID, it is not needed but good proof. )

They received the DS-230 packet Oct 1st and it was completed today OCT 11. Good luck and best wishes!
