IS THIS ANOTHER CHECKLIST FOR AOS (we just sent a new set of aos form 5 days ago for first checklist)?????? AND WHAT I DONT UNDERSTAND IS WHY THEY HAVENT GOT MY IV APPLICATION IT WAS SENT WITH THE AOS OR IS IT A FALSE CHECKLIST???

[jsmn 5]

I just got off the phone with NVC. Our AOS was reviewed and the operator said signature in blue/black ink is acceptable (phew!) however, they are going to send a checklist for our co-sponsor, my mother-in-law. She said it was for item 11, that the income declared doesn't match the one in income tax return. My mother-in-law is a disabled veteran. Her income is from her VA benefits and SS benefits. So we just put her income in item 10. My current annual individual income is $ ____. Since she is exempt from filing Federal income tax returns (we included a letter explaining it in our AOS packet), we left item 11. Federal income tax information. blank. Should we still have put there her income and just not check the box saying she has filed a Federal tax return for each of the three most recent tax years? But it says after that My total income (adjusted gross income on IRS 1040EZ) as reported on our federal tax returns for the most recent three years was: Tax Year - Total Income and she doesn't have any tax returns. (I attached a pic of the portion of the form for reference.)

Or could it be that they just overlooked the letter explaining why she is tax exempt? Can we ask for a supervisor review in this case? How should we go about it?

(I asked the operator about our AOS payment. She doesn't see it in the system and told me to include a bank statement when we send in the checklist. But I assume since they reviewed it, the one who reviewed it was able to see that we already paid? We'll send a copy of bank statement and a copy of the receipt from the payment portal.)

You weren't supposed to leave that question blank. If she doesn't file tax returns, then she should have put $0 for the three years.

Saylin! You were so quick. I was just gonna repost it on the July thread but I think there's no need anymore. Ok, just to clarify, that's all that they want then? To put 0.00 in all three blanks?

Possibly. You may want to wait for the checklist though to be certain.

I completely understand how you feel about NVC. I feel like this if you can't be polite at a job that clearly deals with customers then leave. Go be a janitor or something. Its already stressful waiting to hear something and then to get yelled at for asking a simple question will make any person blood boil.

Nice to hear I'm not the only one!

I work in customer service and if I spoke to anyone the way this Tori woman spoke to me I'd fully expect to be fired. I'm getting my husband to call most of the time now, maybe they're nicer if they speak to a USC?

The reps are usually pleasant, just now and again they make you feel like you're being a neusense, but it's their job to answer our questions. And I'm not one of those ppl that call every day (let alone twice a day!).

No need for the old passport, the birth registration, or a photocopy of the police certificate.

And the DS-2001 is for K1 applicants and DCF applicants. Not needed in your case.
