I am a bit confused as to how to organize my AOS and IV packages given the cover sheets that the NVC has provided me with.

Originally I was under the impression that I should prepare two separate packaged (AOS and IV) each with their respective cover sheets (provided by the NVC), but now I'm confused because the NVC has also provided me with a "Document Cover Sheet" that lists items to be checked off that are included in both the AOS and IV packages.

Should I just send one large package without separating the AOS and IV documents? And if not, what should I do with the "Document Cover Sheet" that they provided?

Also, I have read that the AOS and IV packages should be placed into the same envelope (as not to end up on separate desks)... but this proves troublesome too, because each cover sheet says to address it to a different attention.

The Welcome letter checklist if you have can go on very top of everything. Than you are to print the document cover page from the payment portal. If you didn't pay IV yet you can print the AOS twice. The ATTN change for IV to DR.

1. One stack is AOS put your coverletter (if you made one) and the bar coded cover page to that put in its own envelope.

2. One stack is IV put your coverletter (if you made one) and the bar coded cover page to that put in its own envelope.

Both envelopes are now separated and now both put in one big envelope to be sent to NVC however you plan to mail it to them.

That's it. Been done like this for years.

So the welcome letter checklist ("Document Cover Sheet") just goes inside the main envelope and not inside either of the AOS or IV packages? If I understand what you're saying correctly, there will be the main shipping envelope with the document cover sheet and two additional envelopes inside of it (AOS and IV).

Best thing to do is you have the two separate packages with their bar-coded sheet The Checklist sheet if you want can go on top of the packages and those two packages of course go in the mailing envelope.

I didn't use the welcome letter cover page. I had my own cover letter and i printed the bar coded sheets from the website.

That is what I did.

I had 2 manila envelopes, one labeled “AOS package”, one labeled “IV Supporting Documents”. No papers were outside of an envelope. Each envelope contained:

Coversheet (I annotated the coversheet to mention which documents were in a different package)

Cover letter

Documents

Then I stuck both manila envelopes into a single larger envelope for shipping to NVC. I just got case complete today so it worked for me.

Thank you guys for your answers; it sounds like as long as I'm organized, NVC will understand.
