Sheila-Todd,

Thank you for your earlier reply about DS230. I found the space assigned to my father's( beneficiary) signature in page 1, page 2 will remain unsigned until interview.

The other question I have is pertaining to the civil documents we need to provide. The initial step ( I 130) was easy, I provided my BC ( petitioner) and my parents divorce Certificate and his new marriage certificate with his new wife.

I know he will need his BC , PC and Army paperwork BUT do you think he needs to get additional copies for the documents I already submitted with I 130.

I looked at the US embassy in Algiers and things were not clear. I do not know where you get clear instructions on the post I-130 required documents. I am just trying to find out if he should order them and get additional translations.

Another technical question, I have two half brothers 23 and 25 yrs old. I am planing and able to sponsor my dad only at the moment, he might want to sponsor his wife or kids in the future but I am not sure . There is a question on DS230 asking who is accompanying him NOW or LATER. I am planing to put his wife's name on LATER , even though I don't know what his will take place in future. Do I need to add my half brothers on DS 230 for LATER as well, or is it relevant at this point.

I do not want to jeopardize my father's eventual intentions of petitioning for my half brothers. Leaving it blank wont matter at the interview ?

About the civil documents yes he needs to submit original or certified copies to the NVC

Birth certificate

Marriage contract

Police clearance

NBI

Divorce papers (if divorce)

Passport photocopy biographic page

2x2 passport size picture (at the back of the picture put the name, case # and date of birth)

For petitioner

BC

Marriage contract

passport or certifcate of naturalization

On ur 2nd questions.. Who is accompanying him just put none.

That question only apply for those have already a visa that can travel here in the usa as i understand..

Alright , thanks

I thought, given that NBC sends the documents to NVC, no need to duplicate the first documents.

I guess I was wrong.

Can I send I864 , civil documents and DS230 in the same envelope given that the address is the same, or I have to separate them ? space them in time ?

1. Send documents (Separate file but one mailing):
   • Affidavit of Support for main sponsor (me)
     • Form I-864
     • Letter of employment
     • Paystubs (6 months)
   • Affidavit of Support for co-sponsor (husband)
     • Form I-864A
     • Letter of Employment
     • Paystubs (6 months)
   • Joint tax return transcripts (3 years)

I've only been here in the us for a little over a year so i only have tax return scripts for one year, is that gonna be a problem? and i am making a decent amount of money, Is the affidavit of support for co-sponsor really required?
