Hi I just want to know if it is ok to start gathering papers for Affidavit of support like letter of employment and other documents. We just got our I-130 Petition approved last August 31, 2015. And is it ok to get a Police clearance already for the beneficiary. (NBI in the Philippines) We just want to get ready and start doing the papers needed for NVC process. Thank you in advance! :)
