Are you guys including a lot more evidence for this phase?

 

I'm have a big wedding ceremony in my wifes country at the beginning of next year for her family, and my friends are coming too, but its mostly her family.

I wasn't sure if I should include that information because I was worried they'd question the marriage.

NVC doesn't require you to do that but some people do. I strictly sent financial and civil documents as that's all they state on their website.

I don't think it is needed at this stage. We sent what's in the checklist. no more, no less. However, keep photos, cards, ..etc. any such proof for the interview. That's the only stage I see where you would need to show proof (if asked).

Hello everyone. I am getting the error below every time making a AOS payment at NVC site. I tried using different browsers but still same issue. Did anyone run into similar problem? 

Screen Shot 2017-08-24 at 10.14.22 PM.png

I had the same error when I first paid my AOS fee. But the payment status showed "in process" although nothing was deducted from my account. Then the next day it went back to pay again and it worked fine.

Someone told me that the I-864ez is supposed to make things faster, is that true? 

Or does the non ez version just make things longer?
