IV Package - Anything to send in?

[hollycenations 11]

I'm a little confused about the IV package stage of things. I've submitted everything that was a part of the Affidavit of Support checklist, but some guides talk about sending in some additional stuff for the IV package, such as police certificate, marriage certificate, etc, that is already in the AoS package. But then there are other notes like passport-style photos that I haven't seen anything about yet.

Will we need to send anything else in once the IV application is filled out? Also, we're filing electronically, if that has any bearing on answers.

For the NVC stage I submitted the following in one email electronically. I thought I read they only wanted one package. This is all i submitted before my interview.

Document Cover Sheet

AOS

Tax transcripts for 3 years

Applicant birth Certificate

Applicant Marriage Certificate

Unexpired passport bio page

Police Certificate

I know I answered yesterday your question about the tax transcripts and people replied saying that W-2's were not needed. I agree they shouldn't have been needed since tax transcripts reflect the same as the W-2 but I also stated that the officer was not going to approve my case without last years W-2 copy.

Thanks for your continued feedback, Vizslafan16. I'll work on collecting my W2/1099 for last year so I can at least send them with my husband when he goes back to Canada next week. Hopefully they won't need them, but if they do, he'll have them.

And thanks for sharing your checklist! I sent pretty much the exact same thing. Hoping to help my husband finish up his IV application today.

The iv package and aos package are submitted together but are separate things. Iv = immigrant visa so the marriage certificate, divorce decrees, birth certificate etc.... all for the foreign spouse. The aos is information from the petitioner and any joint sponsors or household members.
