you are talking about Affidavit of Support- yes you need to pay both fees for the case to move forward. i dont think you pay both of them at the same time. You need to pay them separately so you are good

duh

We paid for one, and then paid for the other immediately after. I think it doesn't work when you try to do both the payments in one transaction.

Thanks 😊

Can I pay for the AOS first then pay IV application two weeks after? Or does it have to pay both 

 

 

Thanks 

You pay the fees separately and can pay them weeks apart. Each payment must clear before you're access given to complete the corresponding application. It takes 2 or 3 days to clear. So I assume if you pay the AOS it will clear and then you can complete it and upload your tax docs. Then once you pay the IV fee and it clears you can complete the application and upload your civil docs.

Thanks so much. When uploading the tax documents each should have a different pdf or one pdf for the W2 and transcripts ?

You only need to upload the tax transcript but if you prefer to upload both I would use separate PDFs. The file size has limitations also and at times need to be compressed.
