IV Package document cover sheet

[Dan&Ellen 1]

I have everything ready to go but I'm not entirely sure about the cover sheet/Barcode sheet that is needed to be included.

In the online portal I obtained the document cover sheet but on it it says:

DOCUMENT COVER SHEET

The next step in the immigration process is for the

Petitioner to submit an Affidavit of Support. A link to the

instructions has been provided for you on the Receipt Page.

You can also find the instructions on the NVC website at

www.ImmigrantVisas.state.gov

You MUST RETURN THIS COVER SHEET with the

Petitioner's completed forms and supporting documents.

Failure to do so will delay your visa(s).

Please attach this page to the front of the documents for

this case and mail to:

National Visa Center

Attn. CMR AOS

31 Rochester Avenue Suite 100

Portsmouth, NH 03801-2914

Principal Applicant:

MY NAME

MY CASE NUMBER

CR1

As you can see it states about the petitioners documents but at the bottom has my name and barcode as the principle applicant. As this is the IV package these are my documents. Just want to check I am using the correct cover sheet.

Also other than the biographic page the NVC guidelines say that all documents sent must be certified copies and originals. However it also says to include a photocopy of everything.

So just to double check I am including in order of position in package.

• 2 photos paper clipped to top left.
• Document cover sheet
• Cover Letter with my name, case number and contents of the package
• Certified copy of birth certificate and photocopy of the certified copy
• Certified copy of marriage certificate and photocopy of the certified copy
• Original copy of police certificate and photocopy of the original copy

Military/Divorce/Adoption papers all not applicable.

Is there anything wrong here? Getting annoyed with the lack of clarity/out of date/conflicting instructions on the NVC site and elsewhere.

Yes the cover sheet you print is what you place on top of the documents you're sending in.

That cover or document sheet should have the NVC case # and the beneficiary's name on it.

Good, I was just wondering because on the cover sheet it talks about the petitioners documents but the documents being sent were mine (the applicant)

I think that's the wrong cover sheet for the IV. My IV cover-letter (sitting right next to me) starts a little like this:

The next step in the immigration process is for each applicant to submit an Application for Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration with supporting civil documents...

edit: having said that, the barcodes at the bottom are the same for the IV and AOS cover letters so it really shouldn't matter a dime - so long as each goes to the correct address.
