Thanks and yes!

Now 13a 13b and 13c which IRS income should we have to write? And did you submitted the IRS document tax transcript?

Part 6. 5th point - you need to fill your current income whatever you are making now.

13a - Tax income you filed with IRS for the year 2012

13b - Tax income you filed with IRS for the year 2011

13c - Tax income you filed with IRS for the year 2010

Your amount can be the same as it was in 2012 if there is no change in salary/income.

Hope this will help!!!!

Your scenario could suffice so as long as are above the poverty guidelines. NVC is being very very deliberate is sending out checklist.

A checklist could cost you 1-2 months extra.

So I'd suggest rather than chance it, best would be to find co/joint sponsorship.

For dependents of 2 its around 19,500 (See the link below)

If same household then I864A. (last 3 years tax return + W2 + current income proof)

You need to file I864.

Since I didn't go this route, wait for someone who has to answer for you. Please ensure that you check your filing MULTIPLE times before sending to NVC. Also search other forums for all the checklist that they received for AOS to avoid making those particular mistake.

Good Luck

No, you have to wait for NVC assigns you case number and IIN.

Then, you have to pay the AOS and IV bills first before you can submit the supporting documents to NVC. Once you paid these bills, only then, you can print out the cover sheets that you need to send along with your supporting documents.

It specifically said you have to wait within 6-8 weeks. It didn't say anything about waiting for your PD to become current.

Nope u dont have to wait for your PD to become current. NVC will work on your case, maybe because your PD is close to being current!
