You have the labels mixed up. the AOS packet should have the I-864 with the tax information, etc... and the IV package is all the supporting documents.

All you need to do is just put them in the order that it says in the Document Cover Sheet with the check boxes. I don't remember the exact order but it looks like you have everything.

Now I don't know if this is true for everyone, but I did call NVC asking what kind of "Proof of Relationship" they are expecting in the AOS package since it is listed on that checkbox cover sheet. Since I was the sole sponsor, I was told to just include a copy of our marriage certificate. So I had a copy of that in both the AOS and IV packets.

We submitted the civil documents yesterday, is the next step and Wat is a scan date?

If you've submitted all the documents the next step is to wait for case complete, which on average is about 30-45 days without a checklist. Did you already submit the DS-260? The scan date is the date NVC received and scanned your file into the system. They normally send an email a few days after it's been received, but you can call to double check.
