please review my checklist for NVC

[semidevil 12]

I read through all the guides so many times and I want confirmation for some folks here to see if I'm missing anything. I"m living abroad with my wife while we are waiting for her I130 to approve, and I want to use this waiting time to get any additional documents that I might still need.

Here is what I have so far (brief background, I'm living abroad with my wife, my mom will be co-sponsor).

From spouse:

- DS-230 signed

- certified copy of birth certificate

- the required medical and police clearance when available.

- Passport (copies)

From me:

- I864 signed

- last 3 years tax transcript (ordered from IRS)

- current paystubs (copies)

- copy of birth certificate (certified copy)

- divorce decree from previous marriage (certified copy)

- pending: proof of domicile, i,e current bank statement, house deed, email communication, etc etc

From Co-sponsor (mom)

- co sponsor paystubs (original)

- cosponsor tax transcript (ordered from IRS)

- I864A (signed by co-sponsor, original)

- co sponsors passport (copy)

- mom's passport (copies)

Is there anything else that you can think that I might need?

If not, Right now, the only question i have is with regards to the joint sponsor (I followed up on a similar thread): I did not include my dad as the joint sponsor because he is retired and makes 0 income. However, he and my mom are listed as 'married and filing jointly' on the tax transcript. Does that automatically make him a 'sponsor too?' If so, does that mean I also need to get him to fill out an I864A and send in passport copies?

Also, are passport copies ok, or do they need to be some how certified copies (not sure if that even exists)?

Thanks!

You need to get updated. Go here to the NVC filers thread no more DS-230 or DS-3032 all online. Read Post #1 and #2.
