Whoa, now I am a bit confused, I just got off the phone with NVC. I asked if they received my AOS packet that I electronically submitted on the 6th. She then asked if I had received a auto confirmation from them by email for the AOS. I said no, the only auto confirmation I received was for enrolling in the electronic processing. So she told me to resend my AOS packet, but I think she thought that I sent my AOS packet attached to my electronic processing ENROLL email.....

Would sending the packet for a second time screw things up on their end??

We review and reply to e-mails in the order they are received.

within 5 mins of sending it. Then they send you an e-mail once they've officially logged it.

Well thats scary because I never received this response after I sent my package on the 6th via email nor did I receive it this evening after I re-sent the package via email. Its under 10MG for sure and the email address is correct so I have no idea what is going on here.

I have really quick question: I am beneficiary, if joint sponsor is family member of petitioner do i need to submit petitioners birth certificate in AOS package ? (if yes Copy or Original) Thanks

Question-if u have W2 and 1099 my W2 shows earned income of 62 thousand and the 1099 only let's say reads 100 bucks I can't use the I864ez anymore? Because I have a 1099? Or is it only if I was basing it solely on the 1099?

All the income needs to show on one or more W2 according to the form. You could call NVC and inquire if you choose and report back?

Is the joint sponsor providing an I-864 ot I-864a. If they are combining income with the petitioner using an I-864a (not recommended) you must use some method to show they are in the same house and they are related.

If the joint sponsor is providing an I-864 then you do not need to do this as a joint sponsor does not need to be a family member.
