Make sure in those years you didn't file on the I-864 for annual income put $0. If you put any amount they will expect and checklist you for a Tax return.

Okay. So regardless I will need to fill out the I-864 and add a co-sponsor to help with everything?

I hate to say it, but apparently you wasted precious time during your long wait for NOA2.

But do not panic now, plan a logical sequence of steps to meet all the requirements.

Get started with your police certificate, I do not know how easy or difficult is to get one in India, in Colombia you just go online and print one.

Study your AOS requirements, read carefully the instructions and be sure what type of I-864 version you need.

Stay focused, read, read, research, write down you questions and doubts.

Pay attention to detail.

Copies only for NVC, originals for interview.

No photos to NVC.

Mail AOS and IV packages together in a larger envelope.

Stay on top of your case calling NVC 2 weeks after NOA2 to obtain Case number and Invoice ID number.

Wait, so I only send COPIES of police certificate, birth certificates etc to NVC? Today I was trying to device if I'd send all the docs to my husband (USC petitioner) or have him send his stuff to me...I thought I had to send originals. Is it then only the forms that require wet signatures that should be sent to NVC as originals like the AOS etc?

Cateogory: CR1

  • NOA1/Notice of receipt: Sept. 15, 2015
  • NOA2/I130 Approved: February 8, 2016 (NO RFE) :)
  • Process slowed down by us
  • Sent documents to NVC: April 11, 2016
  • Scan date: April 14/ May 7th (NVC said both I dont know why)
  • Case Complete: May 31, 2016 (No checklist) :dancing:

August 17, 2016: Visa Approved!!!! :dancing:
