Thanks again for the detailed response. I am actually in the process of submitting my thoughts to my attorney. Believe it or not, I value opinions from this forum more than what my attorney says. It's definitely more personal and less bureaucratic. I do appreciate your thoughts though. I definitely don't want a checklist. I didn't even know about the option to use assets as income. I'll do a search but do you have any validated literature for me to read?

here you go.....try this link....scroll to the bottom of the page, There is a FAQ on assets.

I have a question...hope u guys can answer...

With the AOS and IV package to be sent together...do we have to submit copy of PCC also...?? or can we directly submit PCC at Consulate during Interview..?

Reason is in our country without Interview letter or checklist they dont issue a PCC.....So if i start the process to obtain PCC once i receive Welcome letter from NVC it will take approx. 7-10 days for the beneficiary to get PCC..And if i pay AOS fees, that can be done within 2-3 days...SO i will have to unnecessarily wait for about 10 days just for the PCC...I have rest all docs needed......i dont want my case to get delayed

Any comments frds....My country is India

Sounds like the process has changed since I became an LPR. In 2011 it was just a matter of submitting my passport to the Indian embassy and then it took 45 days to get it back. I was never asked for proof of interview letter or checklist. Is there written documentation validating that you need those two things before they can issue a PCC? I feel like if you don't submit the PCC it would generate a checklist. It's an unfortunate catch 22 as that would unnecessarily prolong the process. I would get confirmation first if you already haven't done so.

You can submit PCC at interview. When you get interview letter, it will have info on what missing docs needed to bring to consulate at interview.

[DeW_DrOpS 21]

R u sure?? Coz no PCC will trigger a checklist and that will cause another 40 days delay.... Looking at vb I think I might be current by August...

Did u do same thing with ur case..???

[nilx25 18]

Yes i am 100% sure. They do not have checklist for pcc because indian passport office do not issue PCC without interview letter.

[nilx25 18]

Here is pic from checklist that bombay embassey had for missing docs. Follow code for missing pcc.

[DeW_DrOpS 21]

Thanks very much nilx25... So what I can do is send the entire package without PCC and then call them to say that PCC will be submitted by beneficiary during interview....

Did u do the same thing ?????

I have wrote a note on package( post it note) explaining that PCC will be available at interview. dew drops, habel, sbai, munafn thank you all for sharing all great info. I do read all and everything. I tried calling nvc about case and what a nightmare experience that is? 1 hr 30 min wait.

It's truly a nightmare! It was never this busy back in 2011. I used to call them 2-3 times a day just to talk to different representatives and would never have to wait more than 5-10 minutes at a time. Just hoping for all of us to get through the NVC process smoothly and without a checklist. If only I knew what I did now 4 years ago. I was looking back at my GC process and realized that It took me a year from getting a case number to receiving my interview letter. I can't believe there was so much wasted time in gathering documentation lol! It took me 7 months to get CC. I had one checklist but the issue was different. I was the derivative of the beneficiary of an F4 petition so the documentation requirements were a lot different.

Guys...Just a question regarding AOS documents...

Since we have to send AOS documents along with the IV package after paying the AOS fees, if we include Tax Transcript and 1040, do we have to include W2 also or not..???

I have read in a lot of threads that if u r including Tax Return Transcript along with 1040 then W2 is not required...And if we send all three then could that trigger a checklist..????

Here's what i have for my Package:

• Barcoded DOCUMENT COVER SHEET for Form I-864
• Form I-864 Affidavit of Support (Filled, Signed and dated)
• IRS Tax Transcript for the year 2014
• Form 1040EZ for the year 2014
• W2s for the year 2014
• IRS Tax Transcript for the year 2013
• Form 1040 for the year 2013
• W2s for the year 2013
• Letter from Current Employment
• Pay stub(s) of most recent three months from current employment
• Copy of my Permanent Resident Card

Now here is one more question, I became Permanent Resident in 2013, so i only have Tax Documents of 2013 and 2014....And for year 2013 my income was below 5000$ but in year 2014 it was above 30000...and currently too i am having a good job..

So i will submit tax docs for 2013 and 2014 ...Now since i dont have tax documents for 2012 do i have to include a joint sponsor for that???

Is it mandatory to submit tax docs from past 3 years...coz i immigrated in 2013 so obviously i cant have tax returns of year 2012....

Regarding income in 2013 it was below poverty line but in 2014 and at present it is above the poverty line, so will i need a joint sponsor ????

@ Drop & dews i am in same situation as you are , i think its mandatory to submit tax return for past 3 year and W2 too , that is why there is option to find joint sponsor to full fill this law , its all my personal understanding lets see what other folks suggest and share their experiences hope everything will go smooth and fast ,

[nilx25 18]

I do not think they look at three year as a base for AOS. Most recent last year and current employment with same income level is important. Sometimes if you in college, you do not have income but after graduating you can show that you can support immigrant. If unsure, then find joint sponsor. It is safe way to go about.
