Glad to hear the numbers are sorted! Have you been calling to check up on AOS? I was planning on making my first call to check on it this Friday, and to see if I could wheedle some estimates for the IV invoice out of them as well. One week down (since DS-261), I'm hoping it won't be more than two more to go...

They gave me an estimate of 10 business days for the IV from the time of filing the DS-261 which would be putting me around March 18th, but I think it will likely be longer than that judging by most people having waited longer on here for theirs. I've been calling daily to check on the AOS. I know per USPS that it was delivered so if it isn't in the system by the end of this week as being received, I will be concerned.

Exactly. I'd really like to believe it'll be 10 business days, but given the experiences of other members on this thread that doesn't seem reasonable. Still, if I get a non-Todd operator who gives me the same estimate, I might get my hopes up a little bit for next week. It's a dangerous game tongue.png

I have a question? We filed 2013 taxes as MFJ with W7 applying for ITIN # for myself. If we can send in the AOS before tax transcript is available(could take 6 weeks) should I send a copy of the W7 application along with tax return and w2's for the AOS?

just run into my mind, what if we send in our AOS packet without our co sponsor?expecting to have a checklist but atleast if there's a correction with hubby's AOS we can correct it. would they require us to send the whole AOS packet again (hubby & co sponsor) or just the missing co sponsor if ever.

any opinion???

Hi Saylin,

I know this is more interview related but I thought if anyone is going to know, it is you :-)

I saw somewhere that you should bring the original tax returns to the interview? Is this the case and how can we do this if we have already submitted them to NVC?

Thanks!

You'll still do the DS-261 and DS-260 online, but documentation for the affidavit of support and immigrant visa application will need to be physically mailed in.
