Hi everyone,

Need some clarification. I've read the forum, but want to make sure on this one. My NOA2 was approved on July 29th and I'm still waiting to get my case number and Invoice ID number.

My wife is in India and is it possible for her to request the PCC before having a NVC number?

Im trying to gather everything I can to save time...

Also, Im an independent contractor and working for a company for 3.5 years. Thus, I dont have any W2's, but I do have my past 3 years tax transcript from the IRS and I am above the poverty level (125%).

Can I fill out the I-864ez or since I'm an independent contractor I should fill out I-864?

Thanks in advance for any clarification with these points.

Hi everyone,

Need some clarification. I've read the forum, but want to make sure on this one. My NOA2 was approved on July 29th and I'm still waiting to get my case number and Invoice ID number.

My wife is in India and is it possible for her to request the PCC before having a NVC number?

Im trying to gather everything I can to save time...

Also, Im an independent contractor and working for a company for 3.5 years. Thus, I dont have any W2's, but I do have my past 3 years tax transcript from the IRS and I am above the poverty level (125%).

Can I fill out the I-864ez or since I'm an independent contractor I should fill out I-864?

Thanks in advance for any clarification with these points.

You can use the NOA2 as a proof to apply for PCC. Thats what I did. So no worries, do start the process. Have you package ready to send.

Unless your income is not fully from W2 you cant fill I864ez. So fill I-864.

When you send the package, include all you schedules and tax transcripts. Whatever the documents you have and used to file the tax.

Thats how I able to process my application without any issues.

Is ur wife is Indian nationality?

in India? You Betcha !

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

Hey! I too am an Indian National. Your wife will have to get her PCC from the regional PSK(Passport Seva Kendra).

Also one more important thing. Your wife will NOT be issued a PCC unless she got your name added in her passport. It will appear on her biographic data page. So, if she has not done that already, get her to do the passport thing first, only then will they issue her a PCC.

I know someone who did not do this despite of a 100 warnings from my side, and she did have to get her passport changed now. Her AOS and IV fees both have been paid but cannot send the packages in since there are no available appointments at the Ahmedabad PSK till 28th of August. So, just a word of caution, make sure all of these things are done beforehand.
