Okay paid aos fee on Monday. today it states paid. Also filled out DS 261 and that states completed. Yesterday I sent aos package and it should be there today at 3. I checked this morning and IV bill states pay now when I click on it I cant get the option to select to pay that. How long before the IV bill will allow me to pay?

Thanks in advance

Can take about 3-4 weeks at the moment. You should get an email invoice, but worth checking the site incase the payment goes on before the invoice is sent.

Called NVC, spoke to agent Fiona. I didn't have a note of her on my list so perhaps she is new? (someone posted a list of agents, shifts and attitudes. I turned this into a spreadsheet so when I call I type in their name and see what the expected attitude will be lol). Perhaps Fiona is really Joy and she's changed her name because she was GRUMPY!!

So I asked if there were any updates since finding out my AOS docs were being reviewed. She said she had no updates, the docs from May 27th (AOS) and from June 17th (IV) are currently being reviewed. I was taken aback as didn't expect my civil docs to be reviewed so soon, so I asked if by reviewed she meant someone was actually looking and reviewing the docs or if that just means they are waiting to be allocated to someone. She, feeling the need to give me an English lesson, said "of course that means someone is looking at and reviewing the docs, that's what review means!" but then said the review can take up to 30 days so I have no idea if my docs are being reviewed or not! Guess I just need to keep calling every day until I'm told one, all or none of my docs have actually been reviewed yet!

I think they've changed their language. I was told twice on Friday that my documents were "under review". After I pressed the night Agent about what that means, he begrudgingly stated 'I should say is waiting for review'.

Hmmm, I think I'll call tonight and pressure a friendly agent to explaining exactly what Fiona meant then. I'm a bag of nerves now, unsure if I'm getting reviewed super fast or if, as you say, no one has been allocated my case yet. Ugh this process drives me INSANE!

They keep telling me that my IV documents from May 15th are still "under review". I think the day they scan the document is when your documents are "under review".

I was just reviewing wiki again and I came across something that I missed before. When we have a joint sponsor then the income we put on the form is combined income? I thought combined income is just for 1-864A. Please can somebody reply quickly? Thanks.

Woohoo! Congratulations to you!

So your joint sponsor is filling out a separate I-864, correct? Are you asking about current individual annual income? The field for current individual annual income should be just the joint sponsor's income. If you are combining his/her income with a household member, like a spouse, you'd list that household member's income separately. That household member would then need to fill out an I-864A.

However, in the fields where you list income as it appears on your joint sponsor's tax returns, my understanding is that it must match the total income number (adjusted gross income if he/she filed a 1040EZ) on the tax return or tax transcript, even if your joint sponsor filed jointly. You would then submit W-2s to substantiate the sponsor's individual income for previous tax years.

I hope this helps. Good luck!

If you're referring to joint sponsors putting the combined income on the question asking about the 3 previous years' tax information, then yes, that's right. That amount is based on tax transcripts, so it'll be a combined amount with married couples. That's why with joint sponsors who filed married, they need to also include their W2s in conjunction with the tax transcripts to show their own individual income.

No we are not combining incomes. We don't even need a joint sponsor as his income is way above poverty levels but since husband couldn't file taxes In 2011 and 2012 so he is just worried and including a sponsor. We don't need to combine incomes. The place where they ask for your total income, we just out my husband's income fom 2013 right? And in sponsor's form they will fill their own income for previous 3 years correct?
