Anyone approved after DS-260 change?

You can notarize and translate if you want, as per http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3195.html, you only have to translate if not on the native language of the country or in English. I sent mines in in Spanish and my case was completed without generating a checklist, and wasn't notarized either, but was authenticated in Nicaragua though.

And this link might help respond your second question. http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-864p.pdf

As long as your income meets or in this case your husband had to have sent one also with a co-sponser if he didn't meet the requirements (I-864A). I met mines so I sent in my I-864 for my beneficiary. Alone

Question: Are you the Beneficiary or Petitioner?

Hope that helps.

Thank you so much

i dont really want to send original document, its says i can also send certified copy and it must be translated and notirised as well

my AOF has been sent today by my sponsor ( mother-in-law ) with all + documents which needs to be sent with AOF package.

my question is, does my husband also need to send AOF ? or AOF sent by sponsor is enough ?

We submitted DS-230 on 8/17/13, and were told to submit the DS-230 on 9/17/13. We sent DS-260 on 9/18/13 and to date have received no response.

Hi guys, my husband paid the AOS fee and sent DS 261 online

His lawyer said to send the I-864 with IV package together, is it the right way ?

And the second question - IV fee is unavailable to pay online, so should we complete DS 260 online before paying the fee?

Please guys share with your experiance

Thanks

I am not a lawyer, nor did make use of one. When I sent in my original DS-230, NVC provided a cover sheet for that particular application, they also provided one for the I-864. When I submitted the DS-260 on the 10th of Sep, I didn't need to send my documents again. I've read many post and i've never seen both sent together, might be two different division at Portsmouth, but then again if his lawyer says so, who knows.

He first has to submit the DS-261 in order to be eligible to pay for the IV fee. This designates an agent to the case. (I'm guessing his lawyer)

After that, he can submit the DS-260 online.

Hope that help, anyone please correct me if i'm wrong. Thanks!

It took about a week for my case complete after i sent my DS-260 online on the 10th of Sep. Case completed on the 19th. Might want to call NVC, might not be the DS-260, has your I-864 cleared with no problems? Hope you get your case complete soon.

BTW, I sent my DS-230 on the 14-15 of August.

Since I still have not heard from the NVC about case being complete, I guess I will call them today.

DanielandNina,

This is what I got as per instructions from NVC and this is what we did:

5. EVIDENCE OF FINANCIAL SUPPORT. Applicants must provide evidence that they will not become public charges (that is, dependent on government welfare and assistance).

Form I-864 Affidavit of Support for visa applicants in the IR, F, certain E visa categories, and following-to-join employment (E) applicants complete with copies of the sponsor’s U.S.

(Immigrant Visa Applicants’ Interview Preparation Instructions-English/December 2012) Page 2 of 13

Federal income tax return (Form 1040) and wage statements (Form W-2s). The petitioner must provide an Affidavit of Support even if he/she does not derive any income and even if a joint sponsor’s Affidavit of Support will be providing all of the actual financial support.

Hope it helps!

Just curious to know who has been approved after submitting first the DS-230 and later the DS-260 after the Sep 1st change. I submitted my DS-230 on August and was checklisted in September, later submitted the DS-260 and was approved in about a week. Share your experiences and case complete if any, Thanks!

Firesp33dR,

I submitted my DS260 online in September 26, 2013 then my husband still sent my DS230 by overnight mail in Sept 27, 2013. But something went wrong with my IV Fee payment in Sept 21, 2013

--which was finally settled (status PAID)only in October 4, 2013.

Now, it's been 10 days since IV Fee status PAID

and 19 days since I sent DS260 online, and DS230 with Civil Docs by mail

and the only email I received from NVC was:

Dear Sir/Madam:

...We received documentation for your case. Please allow 30 business days

for us to review your documents.

Now worrying that doing DS260 online and sending DS230 by mail--since it carries the same information anyway--may have caused the delay.

I just wonder why the system said 3-5 business days to process and up until now,

my case is not completed yet.

Should I have complied with the DS261 and DS260 alone, without having sent DS230 by mail?

Did I do something wrong here?

Congratulations unsmiley!!! I am happy for you. Finally!!!

As for me, hope mine's coming sooner, too!

[Firesp33dR 2]

RedPepper,

If i'm not mistaken, even if you submitted the DS-230 at a later time (past 1 of Sep). NVC will see that you submitted the DS-260 as well. The documentation provided with the DS-230 will be the documents that support your DS-260, thus making part 1 and 2 of the DS-230 useless since it's obsolete. They had my DS-230, but I was checklisted on the 10th of Sep because i hadn't filed my DS-260.

So from my opinion, that counts right now are your documents and the DS-260 which i hope they will unify. And those 3-5 days they mention online is probably the time for someone to receive it onto your case.

Remember they still need proof of what you mentioned, that requires a set of eyes to analyze. As hard as it is already, I don't think NVC is here to screw anyone up, mistakes happen A LOT. Any please feel free to correct me if i'm wrong. Thanks

Hope that helps!
