I read all your EP steps. And have you verified and confirmed with NVC that you truly have Case Complete? Just seems unlikely to get CC in 1 week of receiving documents. But if so that's awesome.

Keep us posted.

I called NVC last night and confirmed Case Complete. So yes, within one week of submitting my forms electronically it was done. Maybe we just got lucky as there was no request for an expedite.

My AOS fee says "PAID", I would like to send out both AOS + IV packages early next week.

Question:

The following documents AOS will have:

· AOS bar-coded cover sheet

· Form I-864 (signed and dated)

· US citizenship certificate(Proof of US citizenship)

· Marriage certificate (Proof of relationship)

· 2014 Tax Transcript(Most recent)

Experts , please confirm if I have minimum required to get AOS package ready.

2. Question2: i864 form is 12 pages, do you just send them as separate page? Or i should use a paper clip to hold document groups separately? How did you guys do that?

I will ask IV question separately..

thx!

Do you need joint sponsor? I wonder because you are listing proof of US citizenship

For AOS:

Be careful on what type of I-864 you need to file. Read carefully.
