NVC Filers - August 2015

[dandanos 54]

Hey Guys. New question:

So my husband paid the AOS fees and the document cover sheet it let us download looks like the 1st picture. Our fee is still in process and hasn't showed "PAID" yet.

Now, someone on Visa journey sent me another picture of a document cover sheet which looks like the 2nd picture?

Why do we have a different looking coversheet? Does this mean we need to wait for our payment to show "PAID" after which it will let us download this other kind of coversheet? This 2nd coversheet allows you to send all the documents(AOS and IV) in one single packet.

Also, if we can just use this one, do we have to wait for the IV fee payment and get another barcoded cover sheet like the one we have now and make separate AOS and IV packages?

Or can we just use this one for both?

Very confused. Please help.

1) short answer , once you pay the AOS fee and get the AOS Bar code you can send both package in the same envelope

2) look at my signature and you ll notice that i did not even use AOS bar code , i used the welcome letter they sent me with the bar code on it but since you have AOS bar code , its better to use it

3) in your signature , you meant case was received on 22 june not july ??

good luck

Well, the thing is, we have not received a welcome letter yet.

So what do we do? Wait for the letter?

Or just send the documents in using this cover sheet?

Also, do we make separate packets for AOS and IV documents and then put them in one envelop and ship them? Or just 1 single packet?

Also, can you tell me what your cover sheet looked like?

And if you did not use an AOS barcode, did you also attach a cover letter for both packets?

P.S. Thank you for making me notice the mistake on my signature.

1) you dont have to wait for the welcome letter since you have cover sheet with AOS bar code on it

2) you can do it either way , but i think the best way is to put AOS & IV in separate envelope and make sure to attach the cover sheet that has the bar code/case number on the top of each (AOS & IV ) . then put both packages on one big envelope

Okay. So we can still send the documents in by Monday like we planned to? We will just add this cover sheet and a cover letter on top of the documents. Again, we can use this cover sheet for IV packet too, right?

Or should we wait for the AOS fees to change to PAID?

Sorry. Just trying to be specific. Do not want a checklist.

1) yes you can use AOS cover sheet for IV ,

2) you dont have to wait for AOS fees to change the status to paid

again as long as you have the AOS cover sheet with the bar code /case number , you can send your docs

attached file is an example of the AOS cover sheet

good luck

No see. This is what I am asking. How come your cover sheet looks different? Is it because you used the one from the welcome letter? Because all I have is this. It does not contain the checklist.

Urvashi - when was your petition sent to NVC? Did you get a notification for it?

No. We just saw the case status change on USCIS website which said our case was sent to the department of state on 15th of july 2015.

And then I kept on calling the NVC and in a week found out they had received the case.

yeah they sent me the welcome letter with AOS cover sheet

i read your cover sheet and i dont see why you can not send your docs .

its even stating you have to attach it with all your docs . if i were you i ll send all docs with that cover sheet you have , it has your applicant name and case number as well as the bar code

Okay. Thanks a lot.

Gosh everyone is so helpful on this forum.

Don't know what i would do without you guys!

[anonymous88 4]

Thanks.

I was approved July 23rd, and it was sent on August 4th -- so hopefully by next week they should recieve it? I've been calling daily also.

I don't even know if it was a coincidence or what, but I called USCIS on the 4th to see what the hold up was and then the next morning I got a notification that it was sent.

No Problem

do you know exactly what you need to send them ? ?

Umm, yes.

But just to be sure let me just cross check with you.

The Petitioner is my husband and we are not using any joint sponsors or any assets. Only his income. Also, I am the only immigrant.

>> Financial Documents:

1. I-864EZ AOS form(Because it is shorter and easier)

2. IRS Tax Transcripts from the last 3 years

3. W-2's for last 3 years

4. Employment Letter

5. Paystubs for last 6 months

(Do we need to put proof of US Citizenship?)

>> Civil Documents:

1. Birth Certificate

2. Marriage Certificate

3. Photocopy of valid passport

4. 2 Photographs of mine

5. Police Certificate

We will attach the cover sheet and a cover letter for both packets.

Are we missing anything else?

Normally they receive it in 7 days and upon recepit they assign a case number in 12 days.
