Hello everyone. Hope everyone is having a good time at the NVC.

So my husband and I have been filling the I-864 form and we have a few questions regarding the form.

1) In Part 2, Item 2.a., they are asking for the mailing address of the immigrant. Now my address doesn't fit in the space they have provided(people living in India will understand). What do I do? Just put in the smaller version of the address? Or write however much fits into it electronically and then just write the few letters that don't fit using a pen?

2) In Part 4, CITIZENSHIP/RESIDENCY, we have checked the box for "I am a citizen" because my husband is a citizen. Now below the box "I am a lawful permanent citizen", you need to fill out the Alien Registration Number. My question is, does my husband have to put his alien registration number in there too, (because he used to have one when he was there on a green card) even though he is a citizen now?

3) In Part 5, HOUSEHOLD SIZE. I am the only person my husband is sponsoring so he put 1 in the box #1. He put 1 in box #2 too, for himself. Now the box #3 asks "if you are married, enter 1 for your spouse." So I am wondering, do we have to put 1 in there too? Because I am anyways the principle immigrant and am included in the box #1. Right now we just put 0 in there because they say we should not be counting anyone twice. So, our household size is 2. Am I right about this?

4) In Part 6, Item 5: Current Individual Annual Income. The thing is, my husband got a raise in February or March, so his annual income this year would be more than last year. Whereas, his most recent tax transcripts will obviously show the annual income according to his previous salary. Would this create any problems?

P. S. We are going to include a letter from his employer indicating his current salary.

5) In Part 6, Item 13: They say we are supposed to check the box if my husband(the sponsor) has filed the tax returns for each of the three most recent tax years and if he has attached the photocopy of the tax transcript of only the most recent tax year. Now Item 14 says we are supposed to check the box if he has attached photocopies of the tax transcripts for second and third most recent tax year. We are attaching the photocopies of the last three tax years, so, which box do we check? Item 13? Item 14? Or Both?

6) Okay this will be the last question, just double checking. We are supposed to put in N/A or NONE in all the fields that are not applicable to us and allow actually typing those things in, right? What about the fields that do not allow N/A or NONE to be typed in? Example: Immigrant's Alien Number(I don't have one yet.) or since what date my husband(the sponsor) is unemployed(he is not unemployed). Do we just write it down using a pen when we print it out? Or do we just put N/A or NONE in all the places it allows us to and leave other things blank?

Thank you so much in advance. I am just concerned and we do not want to get any stupid checklists that will keep me and my husband further apart! Just trying to be really precise here. Thank you again.

Urvashi,

1. I'd fill the whole address by hand

2. He only needs to check that he is a citizen

3. You only count each person once, so the 'if you are married' part would be 0, and yes the household size is 2

4. A letter from his employer will help, and also any pay stubs since the pay rise

5. He only needs to send the latest, but has the option to send all 3. If sending all 3 check both

6. We wrote NONE by hand in the alien reg number, and I can't quite remember what other N/A's we put...someone else might be able to help more with this

Today I got my case number from NVC but I can't sign in...... It says my case no. And IIN are not matching. Is it common or something is wrong...... They assign the case on last Friday.

Hi Guys...How's everyone doing? Hope you are all okay. I just want to inform you all that our case was approved 2days ago. So please what's the next step?

As I see u sent the AOS & IV package before you pay the IV fee. ....is that possible? I thought u can send the package after u pay both fees only.....

If so, I will do the same because it will save time. ....

Yes! You can send it as soon as you pay the IV fee.

In fact I actually received the bar coded cover sheet in the mail BEFORE I paid the IV fee

[CJKylie 161]

AOS fee I mean of course, d'oh

(To clarify - send it as soon as you pay AOS fee)

Note: remember it can take them 60 days to even look at the package, so the sooner you send it the better
