Sending documents before Paying IV fee

[AJLove 53]

Is it okay to go ahead and send out the AOS and IV Package documents listed in the checklist received in the welcome mail before the IV fee opens up for payment? 

Do we have to include the receipts of the payments by any chance?

You should pay IV fee and then send documents.  No receipt needs to be included.

Got it.  The reason I am asking is, I will be out of country, so I wanted to prepare all the documents before I leave, and have someone mail it for me while IV fee opens up and I pay it while I am out.

Lo tengo. La razón por la que estoy preguntando es que estaré fuera del país, por lo que quería preparar todos los documentos antes de irme, y que alguien me los envíe por correo mientras que la tarifa IV se abre y yo la pago mientras estoy fuera.

You can send them to save time, I did it that way, but you have to know that they will review it once you have paid that rate (IV) and you have filled and sent the Ds-260!!

Sorry but it's an illusion that you are saving time.  I was told it goes into a separate "hold" pile along with the others that have not paid yet.  They will not process until funding is received and DS-260 completed.   That's why they want you to send the documents afterwards, so it can go directly into the "to process" pile.

Guys, on the I-864 form, did you leave any blanks or did you put 'N/A'? Also, do we have to put in the alien number from the past after you become a naturalized citizen?

Yeah, I figured they have some kind of hold pile.  I will wait till the fee is paid and processed before sending the package out.

I left them blank, did not use N/A at all.  You are a US citizen now so there should be no need to put your previous alien number.

Lo siento pero es una ilusión que estás ahorrando tiempo. Me dijeron que entra en una pila separada de "espera" junto con las otras que aún no han pagado. No se procesarán hasta que se reciban los fondos y se complete DS-260. Es por eso que quieren que envíe los documentos después, para que puedan ir directamente al montón "para procesar".

Sorry, but that's what I said, they will not process your case until you have completed all the steps! Once you have paid the (IV) and submitted the Ds-260 they send it to revision!

Great, Thanks!

 

There are mixed information when I searched through VJ, where people have got checklist when left blank. I am really confused

¡Muchas gracias!

 

Hay información mixta cuando busqué a través de VJ, donde la gente tiene lista de verificación cuando se deja en blanco. Estoy realmente confundido

If it's true, there are many versions, anyway it's better that you call NVC tomorrow and clarify all your doubts!!
Good luck!
