Hi VJers,

Finally heard back from the NVC and next step is to submit the AOS package. I wanted to get some feedback on all other petitioners living overseas. What did you include in your AOS package to show proof of Domicile?

I plan to include the following (per wiki outline):

- Bar code from portal

- I-864 form completed

- Copies of 2012/2013 tax returns

- Copy of 2012 W-2 from my previous job in the US

- Proof of voter registration in NYC

- Deed of property in the US with my name on it

- Bank statement showing US address

- Credit card statement showing US address

- Contact with shipping company for move to the US

I'm also planning on getting a co-sponsor. My mother recommended I get my aunt to co sponsor me.

Question: should I also include info on my current employment overseas?

Looking forward to hearing from you all
