More dumb questions:

What are the IV and AOS Packages? AOS stands for "Adjustment of Status", is that what a new immigrant has to send to Homeland Security USCIS after they arrive in the US with a visa to be approved for legal work and the famous green card?

IV Package? Does this have something to do with what is required before a beneficiary is interviewed at the Embassy?

AOS actually has two meanings on this site. The AOS package, sent to NVC after I-130 approval, stands for Affidavit of Support. This package includes the I-864 form as well as tax information.

IV package stands for Immigrant Visa package. This includes the DS-230 form, passport photos, as well as civil documents.

Please read the guides available on this site to learn more.

At the NVC stage AOS stands for affidavit of support. IV stands for immigrant visa

Thank you, You know what I was thinking? I thought it was some kind of tricky roman numeral, like "4 package..." Sometimes I am an idiot... It looks like I've completed all the aos and immigrant visa packages, and will wait for NVC to schedule the interview.

Don't feel like an idiot, loveromelyn. Look at how many posts I have, and I was completely in the dark about what "IV" meant, even though I knew what it was when they called it "immigrant visa package", haha :rofl:

I'm a dual US/Hungarian citizen (both by birth; Hungarian citizenship verification TBA), and my husband is a dual British/Irish citizen (by treaty) from Northern Ireland. We are atheists.

LATEST STEPS:

28 Jun 2013: POE Houston

08 Jul 2013: SSN received (at SSA office)

07 Aug 2013: Green Card received

27 Feb 2014: Whoa, life happened. Planning move "back home" together to Republic of Ireland by end of April.

29 Apr 2014: POE Dublin through Heathrow

15 May 2014: Received formal residency/work permission (GNIB card with Stamp 4, one year renewable) for the ROI

Maybe the confusing part is the whole word "package". I still expect to get a "package" in the mail. Everything was done with email, but I couldn't just scan the documents back to NVC. Anyway... The thing is really going to be over sooner rather than later, and I'm relieved. I will be so happy to see my wife & to get on with my life! ~Don

About 1 week from u sending in your packages start calling NVC to find out your case complete. Than you will be in the interview queue and the waiting really will drive you nuts.

Everyone repeat after me... Darnell you rock, may your NOA2 arrive tomorrow!!

(Darnell's NOA1 is the day after mine, so that could be taken to mean "may my NOA2 arrive today", but I'm just kidding. Hubby goes back to the UK tomorrow and I'm going to try not to whine in front of Nola and Teague, lol)

What is a DS156K? Is it something the beneficiary will be required to fill out before an interview?

for a K-1 or K-3 visa chaser in the PI, absolutely !
