Is there anyone here who is at NVC stage and are filing for step-child( children)? I'd like to know the requirements for step child at this stage. Please help!

Hi! So I had been thinking till now that you need to put the barcoded cover sheet that you print from the IV bill payment in the IV package. But ofcourse, that would inevitably delay sending the packages in. But then I read somewhere that you can just use the barcoded cover sheet from AOS Bill payment with the IV package too. That would save a few weeks of time so naturally it sounds like an awesome alternative. But is it true? Can anyone help me with this?

Also, they take 60 days to review the case from when they receive the package, right?

There is now only one barcoded cover sheet, which covers both AOS and IV to be sent together. This can be sent as soon as you get the cover sheet.

Okay. So basically we can send in both packages as soon as we get the barcodes cover sheet from the AOS Bill payment, right?

That's right

I've attached my cover sheet which shows what to put in the package and in what order

Oh okay! So now I'm a bit confused. Because there's just one barcoded cover sheet, don't you need to make two different packages for AOS and IV and then put them in one shipping envelope and send it in?

How do we send the packages in? And, do we need to send in the proof of our relationship with the AOS? Also, do we need everything on the list? I mean, I know things like adoption certificates and stuff would not apply, but what about everything else? And do we send photocopies or originals?

Ive attached roughly what ours looked like, obviously without the added comments.

And the tax stuff obviously depends on what you're using.

We sent it all in one package, with just a title page for each document. And send photocopies, as originals may be needed at the interview.

Okay!

But, what do you mean by without the added comments?

I am so sorry, I am just very intimidated by the NVC stuff. I read up the wiki's on it, but things seem to have changed. Do you know someplace i can get detailed information about this new process now?

Also, seems like we don't need to put the cover letter in there anymore?

Okay. So i have just one last question for you.

I see that you have check marked the photocopies column too. So what i was wondering is, when we are marking marriage certificates and stuff as enclosed, we are actually putting photocopies of those documents in there. So what do we enclose when we checkmark the PHOTOCOPIES column?

I just mean if you look at the pic, I had written on there so my wife knew what to send. The actual version we sent didn't have the writing on.

And I'm not sure that the new things have been documented...I kinda just figured when I received the document cover sheet and it says to send the financial documents and supporting documents together.

You'll be following the same process as already documented but just forget the parts that mention a second cover sheet.

I actually received it by mail, along with the AOS invoice, but it is also on the online portal.

We just checked the photocopies box as every document we sent was a photocopy. That part seems a bit redundant, but we figured better to check enclosed rather than not applicable
