petitioning both parents(aos packet)

[-=Mai and Timmy=- 12]

how are you supposed to arranged the aos packet and iv packet do u have to put two the same supporting documents, to each parent, so meaning two affidavit of support too??

[jons_wifey 22]

2xI864 and/or I-184A (if you have a joint sponsor) and 2 copies of supporting docs

and yes altogether in one big envelope. just paperclip the papers together.

I sent both AOS in the same envelope but each separated by binder clips with a cover sheet...they still screwed it up and can't find my Dads as of now. I was told the best way to send it is to put each in an envelope with the case number/beneficiary name on the outside and place those envelopes into one big envelope.

hi i saw this post since i have a question about AOS for both parents. I paid my dad's AOS but when i tried to pay for my mom it says IN PROCESS... so meaning only one $88 payment for both parents?

Plus after the payment, do i have to wait for the next email of the NVC or is it a mail?

Regarding the Affidavit of Support forms, since i'm not working and my husband will be my co sponsor, should i only use I864 or I-184A or BOTH?

Thanks in advance for the time and response.

The one fee covers both parents.

If the co-sponsor is a household member you both use I-864.

thank you very much

does it matter if me and my husband will use I-1864 form? Coz when i called the USCIS last Tuesday, the lady told me my husband will fill up the I-1864A.

@Mia and Timmy:

Here's a step by step NVC process http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NVC_Process#Useful_Information

According to that guide. You can mail both but just make sure to put each on a separate envelope including each coded bar sheet.

Hope it'll help!

Same case as mine though, I am only petitioning for my dad. I'm unemployed as well however, my husband and I filed our taxes jointly. We used I-864 for me and I-864a for him. I will mail my packet tomorrow. I've read it somewhere here on forum with same case scenario that you have to use both.

Best of luck!

Hi I tried calling this number 1-800-908-9946 IRS to request a Transcript but when i entered the year 2011 or 2012 or 2013 it says its not available. I tried it online but when i clicked the year, it wont do anything. Its frustrating!!

If i will submit these return transcripts, do i still need to include a letter of employment, W2 and paystabs of my husband (he is my co sponsor)?

Did you try it here? https://sa.www4.irs.gov/eauth/pub/login.jsp?Data=VGFyZ2V0TG9BPUQ%3D&TYPE=33554433&REALMOID=06-000c832c-9699-1293-b746-483c0adb40a7&GUID=&SMAUTHREASON=0&METHOD=GET&SMAGENTNAME=-SM-m5OrA%2b7FvbGU%2bgLgvTS4wrt26VgObWqx%2b78E5Bj5nDRoJHeUNEeLTNGiERDz%2bh%2fE&TARGET=-SM-http%3a%2f%2fsa%2ewww4%2eirs%2egov%2ficce--core%2fload%2fgettrans%2fpages%2favailableTranscripts%2exhtml

You have to create an account to access your transcript. In order to do so, they will send you an email with a code instantly after you click send. Once you are able to log in it will ask you if you wanna register or continue as a guest. Then it will prompt and ask your personal information. Some of the question are from the last 3 years that you and your husband purchased. After you answer them correctly. It'll then show the tax years and ask you what will you need the transcript for. Just pick the option immigration.

If you have done that and you are getting errors. Try it again in 10 minutes?

Also, if you planning to send you packet this week. I suggest not to request the transcript on the phone because it will take 6-10 business days to receive it.

Letter of employment, W2 and pay stubs are optional. However, it is a good additional proof of your current income.

Here is what are include on my AOS packet:

· AOS bar-coded cover sheet

· Cover Letter

· Form I-864 and I-864a (signed and dated)

· 2013 Tax Transcript

· 2012 Tax Transcript

· 2011 Tax Transcript

· LES/Pay stubs from the most recent four months (January 2014 – April 2014)

· Proof of US Naturalization Certificates

U can just photocopy ur form 1040 that's what I did no problem at all. Make sure u make one copy for ur mom and one copy for ur dad. Just put 2 separate envelopes for each case and put it in a big envelope. Also since they will be asking for original NSO copy of ur birth certificate and marriage certificate u can put an original one on one of the envelopes photocopy it for the other envelope and put a sticky note saying the original is on the other envelope put the name and the case number.

I have to submit again the original copy of NSO bc and marriage contract even i already submitted it before?
