Saylin,

If I (the petitioner) fill out DS-261 (choice of address and agent), do I need to indicate so on the form? i.e fill out the last section "preparer of form"?

Are you able to do that without a case num ?

Are you able to do that without a case num ?

of course not! Just getting ready for what's coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for directing me to the error messages on the first page!

Another question to clarify. I sent the OPTIN email for EP. Do I need to receive a confirmation from NVC about that?

I got a generic automatic reply but nothing confirming my enrollment into EP. Is that fine?

We sent in our ENROLL E-Mail for EP last Friday and are still waiting on the conformation E-Mail from N.V.C. with our New Case #...maybe today!!!!..We can't send in our Documents until we get the New Case # as it would get lost in the System.

Has anyone with an NOA2 of 26th Feb had their file received by the NVC?

Our file has not been received yet.

Guys, do you know whether this is an accurate example of a I-864 form that we can use if there is only one beneficiary (wife) - http://www.visajourney.com/examples/INS-Form-I-864.pdf?

Called NVC at 7:30am today to get a status on my AOS package and this is the AWESOME NEWS I got "Case Completed March 04 waiting for Interview date"... Thank you GOD and this forum it HELPED A LOT to be ready with the NVC stage WITH NO CHECKLIST.

Did anyone get a chance to read my question above?

[BOS_LHR 829]

Hi all, we just got approved on Wednesday. Quick couple of questions about sending in paystubs and relationship evidence: 1. How many months of paystubs is recommended? and 2. When I send in the additional relationship evidence does it have to include copies of the same evidence I initially sent in to USCIS, or do they forward everything over to the NVC? Thanks!

I think most people do 6 months of paystubs. Your relationship evidence will be forwarded; if you want to send additional at the NVC stage you should send more recent things, i.e., since your initial I-130 petition was submitted. More recent photos, chat/phone logs, etc. None of that is required, but if you decide you'd like to include it, it should go with the IV packet rather than the AOS.

That is OK. I got email confirmation from NVC for optin after 2 weeks!

AOS shows as paid on the portal this morning and my packet will arrive at NVC today Now the long wait for them to accept and review everything.

Collie, I saw your post on my email updates but it must be a half dozen pages back by now -- what a nightmare that must've been! Thank goodness you could run right back and get the post office to add it for you. I think I would've melted into a puddle on the floor after an adrenaline rush like that.

My husband, the petitioner left some fields blank on his AOS like Social Security Number for me (because I, the applicant don't have any yet).. Will we get an RFE for leaving it blank? Thanks!
