You had your NOA2 Feb 28th correct?

You can keep up with NVC while abroad, as long as your wife brought the required documents to send in with the paperwork with her.

Your next step would be to get your NVC and IIN number from NVC which can be done by phone call. Also at that point you can give your email addresses to receive correspnodance by email.

Once you haved paid appropriate fees you will need to send in I-864 (from petitioner/USC) and DS-230 (from beneficiary/applicant). As long as your wife has the documentation to send in with her I-864 it will be fine (the only thing I can think off top of my head is needed and not easy to get abroad is tax returns, but your case may vary).

Also on all the documentation I've seen it takes a year for the NVC to drop your case because of receiving no response.

No you do not need to be in the USA to do the NVC stage. It is simply sending packages, paying bills, emails and phone calls.

She will need original documents such as birth certificates, marriage certificates etc. Are those with you?

She must file taxes. There are no "tax free" jobs. Someone else can be more specific about this but she will need tax returns and transcripts to file with the I-864. Even if she doesn't OWE any taxes, she has to file a tax return every year.

Assuming your wife is the US citizen petitioning for a visa for yourself. She will need to back file tax returns, at least last years, to have a tax transcript to send in with the I-864 (even if she owes no tax). I do not know if the IRS will mail them internationally, we had the transcripts sent to family in the US and they forwarded it to us.

She shouldn't need her birth certificate (you will need yours) but you will need your marriage certificate for you to send in with the DS-230. You will also need a police certificate which if you havent applied for yet, do it as it can take some time.

"means that she can get all documents needed for I-864 online?"

She can download form I-864 and its instructions online. The original documents that need to accompany it she must acquire (eg you cannot download a tax transcript).

Also as your wife will be living abroad she will need to prove domicile in the US when she sends in the I-864. There is a ton of useful information in the first two posts of this thread

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/417050-nvc-filers-march-2013/

Specifically in the FAQs in post 2 it says what can be used for her to prove domicile in USA. So ideally your wife will have brought her US driving license, Voter registration card and any statements/accounts that cannot be printed from the internet.

Good luck in your application, hopefully when she goes back in June you get to go with her!

is quite possible to handle all when not in the USA,

but (IMO) is best to have a cheap way to call into NVC and talk with a human...

Skype has a paid plan that is relatively cheap...

anyway - if you can follow LingChe in the wiki, then all is possible.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

Whoa Nelly ! Want NVC Info? see http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NVC_Process

Congratulations on your approval ! We All Applaud your accomplishment with Most Wonderful Kissies !
