Happy new month everybody!!

Hello guys! How are you? I hope everyone is ok. I really need some help right now about my DS-260/IV application online on NVC website. My husband is stationed in Germany because he is an Active Duty Military in U.S. Army and his address is:

(This is an overseas military address)

CMR 000 BOX 000

City: APO

State: AE

Zip Code: 00000

 

the problem is we are filling the DS-260 online (IV application) and the part on FAMILY INFORMATION: SPOUSE, it asks for his address like this.

 

Spouse's address: (it gives me some options which are)

 

- Same as present address

- Same as intended U.S. address

- Don't know

- Other (specify address)

 

When I choose to put "other (specify address)", it asks for us to fill the address but there is an warning saying "P.O. box numbers are not allowed". (You guys will see on the image below). So we don't know what to do at this point. We are feeling really lost right now. What are we suppose to do?

 

OBS: Also our intended U.S. address (Where the applicant will go after arrival) that we answered back on the form is our friend's address because we don't have a place there YET. The thing is...my husband is done about his duty station there but his commander didn't answer him yet to get everything done and he moves. So right now he is in Germany waiting his commander answer if he will go or he will stay there for one more year (this confusion was cause between his old unit and the actual unit).

 

PLEASE! SOMEONE HELP ME!

Well, the thing is...present address is mine in Brazil...he lives in Germany...wouldn't be that different to the immigration? Also, on the I-864 he put his military address normally.  I'm feeling really lost right now!

Hey all! Happy Easter to those who are celebrating!

I am just getting ready to send my AOS and IV packet and crossing my T's and dotting my I's; here are some questions I have:

1. Do I need to send US PP size photographs in the IV packet? I am seeing conflicting answers

2. I never got the "Welcome letter" or I got the wrong welcome letter so I never really got a "checklist" paper that I've seen other people use. I have both cover sheets though. Can I send it without that checklist and just include a coversheet or table of content of my own in both packets? 

I'd really appreciate any input! Thanks in advance!

Hoping to get a case number within this week. Currently in week 9 since NVC receive date.

i did not send any photos and it is technically not on the checklist. I believe you can also download the checklist online somewhere. its the same for everyone.

Hi everyone--I have a question:

 

My joint sponsor & I prepared our I-864 forms at the end of February just to be prepared for when NVC was ready for those forms...and I just discovered they released a newer I-864 now that says expires 3/31/2020.

 

So, I'm redoing those forms.

My question is, am I allowed to fill out my joint sponsors I-864 and just have him sign it?

I just feel bad asking him to fill it out all over again, and he's a truck driver so he's rarely home/has limited free time...if he has to do it himself again we'll make it work, I just hate that they released a new form right after we filled out the previous one.

 

Thanks for any help
