Hi Saylin (or anyone else who may be able to help)

We are having a bit of a headache with this AOS checklist. I thought my wife understood how to proceed but it seems as though there is still some confusion.

We got a checklist yesterday which said "xxxxxxxxxxxxx's income indicated on the I-864EZ part 19 does not correspond to that shown on the most recent tax return and W-2's".

Now, if you look at the I-864EZ instructions it says to use total income if you file 1040 or 1040A tax return and use adjusted income if you file 1040EZ. My wife files 1040A

My wife spoke to a NVC representative yesterday who advised her to resubmit I-864EZ with section 5 line 19 the same as line 22 from her tax return. Line 22 on her tax return is her adjusted gross income.

Her question is do we submit total income amount or adjusted gross income amount??.... I-864EZ instructions tells us total income but NVC rep said line 22 of tax return yesterday which is adjusted gross income.

We are going to call again today, but I thought I would reach out in the hope that Saylin or someone else could make sense of this mess!

Many thanks all!

Should I be worried or call NVC about not getting a IV invoice yet. It's been 15 days since I submitted DS-261 and got an email from them on Feb 26 that they received it. But no IV invoice.

My name is same in birth certificate and Passport. Issue is with last name of my father i.e. my grandfather

Oops.

I misread this.

You should use the father's name on the birth certificate.

Only because they wont see the name of your father on your passport (they only see the FIRST biodata page remember)

Is anyone putting case numbers and/or names on the AOS documents? I'm wondering if I should do this...

I added my case number on each of the documents for the AOS for electronic processing

It submitted my DS-261 on Feb 11 and just was able to pay the IV fee yesterday.

So I have a bit more days ago probably. Thanks!

I was hoping for a smooth process but got a checklist yesterday via e-mail - urrrrr.

It sounds like it's similar to TYorke1's problem - I also misread the instructions about which income to enter.

The instructions on the I-864 say "My total income (adjusted gross income on IRS form 1040EZ)" - but that means (apparently) that since I filed a 1040, I need to put in line 22 - Total income. I had entered Adjusted Gross Income from my tax transcripts.

Luckily, I have the last 3 years of tax returns stored on my computer, so I got that all adjusted, and I'm overnighting a packet this afternoon with: bar code sheet; adjusted I-864EZ; and my 2012 tax return with line 22 circled.

We also got a false checklist for all the IV documents, but thanks to this forum, I could tell my husband not to freak out about that.

I am really still hoping for a case complete before the end of this month - keeping fingers crossed and thumbs pressed for all of us!

I join to this question

[miller_msm 1]

I have a few AOS questions:

Part 4. Information on the Sponsor:

I am living in Canada with my wife and have been for more than 10 years. Therefore, I am submitting proof to re-establish Domicile in the U.S. However, I still have a mailing and physical address in the U.S. (my mother's house). I still receive mail there and I am still listed under the phone number there.

Question 1: Sponsor's Mailing Address & Place of Residence: Should I put my mailing address in Canada or U.S.; place of residence: should I put my U.S. Address or Canadian Address?

Question 2: Country of Domicile: Should I put: 1.) U.S.A. (See supporting proof for intent to re-establish Domicile) or 2.) Canada (Proof of intent to re-establish Domicile in the USA is attached)?

For those of you who just submitted the DS-261 yesterday, are your AOS fees ready to pay yet? I'm so impatient wanting them to show up!

Not yet I was looking at the spreadsheet and it seems like 1.5 - 2 weeks is standard from case number to "AOS Sent," but I'm also assuming that column is packet sent, not fee paid. Hoping for the invoice by tomorrow at the latest...
