NVC Filers - October 2013

[Saylin 1,605]

Hello

i got confused

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

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

By AOF, do you mean AOS? Affidavit of Support? If so, yes, the petitioner needs to send his own I-864 and documents, whether he has income or not. It's still required.

[...]

Saylin, what is the difference between AOS and IV? I've seen the terms, but don't know what the difference actually is. Can you explain? I was under the understanding that I had to provide an Affidavit of Support (AOS) to prove that I can financially support hubby when he arrives....so, I'm not sure what the IV is also for or if it's not necessary as well?

AOS = Affidavit of Support

It's a package dealing with if the petitioner can financially support the beneficiary. The form and documents are done and gathered by the petitioner.

IV = Immigrant Visa

It's a package dealing with if the beneficiary is eligible to immigrate to the US. The form and documents are done and gathered by the beneficiary.

Everything you need to know about what forms and documents are needed for each package can be found in the first two posts.

Thank you

yes i mean AOS

well my sponsors already send their documents ( my sponsors are in USA and my husband/petitioner and i we both live in other country ) so i will ask him to fill it and send too then.

is it ok if my husband / petitioner will send his AOS with my IV package ?

and he is working here in country ( Republic of Georgia) and has income so he should get documents from bank here or still needs to get bank documents and tax record from USA ? ( he has been living in my country 2 years )

You can send the AOS and IV packages together in one big envelope, but I'd suggest putting them in their own manila envelopes and clearly label them.

If the petitioner is living outside of the US, they're also going to need to include domicile proof. You can see this in the FAQ with a bunch of suggestions. If you have sponsors that can support all of you, he doesn't need to supply any income documentation. Only US tax information.

You're welcome. Make sure you read up on the US domicile issue for the petitioner's AOS package.

Hi guys,

This is my first post, so please excuse me if I'm not doing it in the right place!!

A quick timeline: We paid our AOS and IV fees on July 20th, received DS-260 receipts on August 26th, and got a checklist on August 26th.

Our checklist was 2 things: not submitting my husband's business license in our I-864 package (he's self-employed), and reporting the wrong income amount (I'm still confused about "total adjusted gross income" vs "total gross income" -- the language is so hard to understand!!). Regardless, our lawyers (don't even get me started on lawyers!) mailed the revised I-864 package on August 27th.

September 24th, we got a new checklist from the NVC. For the same thing as August. The lawyers called and were told to wait until October 11th ("30 business days" from submission) before calling again. I called today and was told that they have not received anything for our checklist.

This is driving me crazy!!!

So here's my question - can we resubmit our I-864 package by email? Or is it worth mailing another package? Or should we just wait until October 11th (which will be 30 business days / 6 weeks)? Is there any harm/good in e-mailing the nvcinquiry@state.gov address with a scanned copy of our I-864?

This is probably not the right place to ask these questions, but I am so encouraged to read about other people getting their much-waited-for "Case Completes"!!! Thank you all for sharing your updates with the world

guys please help me with this. I paid my AOS fee, and now it shows that it;s paid, I read on some posts that I need to print a barcoded sheet, but the only thing I get is my receipt that I paid. How do I obtain that bar coded sheet, because I would like to send my package tomorrow (friday)??? Also, where do I obtain the mailing address????

Have you received any emails from nvc? It should be attach to email from NVC as well. Good luck

well I solved the first problem, my computer was blocking pop ups and every time i clicked to print document cover sheet, it blocked it.

I assume I can send the AOS package separately from the IV package, since the latter one is not ready, right? Any mailing preferences usps or dhl/ups, etc.??

Yes, you can send them separate. As for the mailing preference I would choose the fastest method.

Are you enrolled in the EP program? If you are, then yes, you can email the package again. If not, then no, you're not allowed to email packages.

Have you tried calling NVC yourself and asking what's up?

By AOF, do you mean AOS? Affidavit of Support? If so, yes, the petitioner needs to send his own I-864 and documents, whether he has income or not. It's still required.

Thanks Saylin. I read the initial post, but I think I'm trying to absorb a lot of lingo and that didn't stick to the old brain.

Tomorrow is my planned second call to NVC. Wish me luck! I'm not holding my breath, but will keep hopeful!

[Air Force Wife 6]

Saylin, I started the i864 form today and have a few questions. Part 2 asks about principal immigrant- petitioner is petitioning for all 4 children and there is only space to answer one person. Do I just write n/a on part 2? And part 3 is asking about family members 1-5, petitioner children are all minors and have no dependents. Thanks for your help
