Visa Application for My Mother

[oatmeal 8]

Hi... i sent all originals to avoid checklist.

Filed an I-130 for my mom in the Philippines that was approved December 4, 2014. Next we received an email instructing us to choose an agent. We did that (I named myself) and we were instructed to wait a few days and then check to see if we could submit the $120 application fee. We did that successfully. Again we were instructed to wait until the check cleared the bank. It did just yesterday. Now we are being instructed to complete Forms I-864 and I-864a and gather financial documents even though this is step 4 and not 3. (Step 3 is to file visa application Form !)

My question is where and when to submit the I-864 and I-864a?

There's a box on the Application Receipt page requesting payment from the Applicant who would be my Mom. But the box to pay is grayed out not allowing us to pay. Why? Does the payment have to be made before DS-260 can be completed? Who completes it, my Mom or us (her agent)?

Thanks !

Hi,

This is probably my very first post. Anyway, we're on the same timeline. I am currently filling-up the bulky DS260. I paid both, the Affidavit of Support and the Immigrant Visa Fee. But before pursuing this, I am wondering if I can include through my Mom's petition, my 15 year old brother. Can anyone give me an insight to this? Thanks.

Zylle, after you paid the AOS fee how long did it take for you to get invoiced by NVC for the Immigrant Visa Fee?

Please, reply. Because all these steps are really confusing.
