question regarding AOS tax documents. Since the 2017 tax season just started, haven't filed 2017 tax yet. Is it ok to submit 2016 tax transcript as the latest? and send the w2 for 2017 ?
People who are preparing their AOS packet currently what you guys including in your documents? 

Honestly that's what I did. I sent in my 2017 w2.. but for the tax returns and transcript I did the last 3 years. 16,15,14. I did this because i wanted them to see proof that my income was stable and increased.

That is correct. It is proof of relationship between the petitioner and the co-sponsor. 

Please can you tell me sample of proof..his my wife brother;the same father but different mom,so there last name is different ...can a Letter telling the nvc that his my wife brother and they both sign it be okay?

I'm not exactly sure. But i would think if you had a birth certificate for each person showing the parents names. That is a legit paper proving the relationship between your wife and her brother. Because the birth certificates have the same father. If I understand correctly.

HI,

 

My case was sent to NVC on Feb 1st. I called today for Case ID and Invoice no. They said we have received your case and we are entering it in our system, and for now we don't have a Case ID. He said it takes about 2 weeks to put in their database.

 

What you guys suggest? How long does it take for them to enter information on their database? And from this forum, it seems he should have given me the Case ID and invoice no, is that right?

 

Edit: So I called the number and pressed option#2. The lady asked me to call back and press 5. And the guy told what I listed above.

 

Thanks. 

My case was received on Feb 2nd. It looks like is taking 2 weeks for the case number, i was told today to try by the end of next week. I have hope that is going to be on the system by the other week. This waiting is so frustrating, I've been traveling like tourist, but I don't want to quit my job until I get an interview date. Also because it helps me to keep my mind busy.

For those who got a checklist can i send the required document with the initial cover sheet sent to my email earlier by NVC or is there a special cover sheet to include while mailing a document requested in a checklist?

The checklist that is in your welcome letter. Doesn't matter if you print it out from your email or use the one they send you in the mail. They are the same. I used the one they sent me just because of the bar code. My printer didn't print as well.

We are in the same boat. You will upload the documents online instead of mailing them, that's why she told you to press 5 because it's a pivot case. Officially it takes 2 weeks to assign a case number. If it doesn't get assigned then it gets send to a supervisor. I hope that is not the case for you because from that point it can take up to 6 weeks to get the number. Just keep calling and see if they have it yet. Did they ask you for your names and birthdays. If no they don't even have those infos in the system yet. If yes they have it in the system and they are waiting for the case number. Mine was received on the 8 Jan. Still no case number. It was however put in the system last week. they keep saying it should be any moment now. Oh and you won't be getting a welcome letter per mail only per email. Everything will be done online.

Add me to the boat. My case was received by NVC on January 31st and everything will be online for us. They said to call back next week to see if a case number is assigned.

Can you please update your timeline?

Hello guys, 

 

I am still awaiting CC at NVC but looking forward to things to bring to interview I just realized that my (petitioner) passport will expire on March 10, 2018. My wife is asked to bring copy of my passport but her interview won't be till April or even May, so my question is that is it okay if she brings my expired passport copy to her visa interview? She will also have my naturalization certificate to show US citizenship. 

 

Also for tax documents, are IRS transcripts with W2 statements from IRS enough or does she need to bring actual W2s that I receive from my employers?

 

Thank you all and Good luck!

At interview petitioner passport does not matter. Its beneficiary original passport that is required. People bring petitioner passport photo copy to be on safe side so i guess you are ok with naturalization certificate photo copy. She need to bring actual W2.
