Aos Package- Your wife hasn't worked in Georgia has she? Because if she has, she is still required to file a US tax return with the IRS. If not, then that's fine. Are any of her family members still claiming her on their tax returns though? 

 

 

What type of proof do you have for domicile? - Hopefully it's enough to suffice with the CO at the time of interview. If you used Saylin's example of ways to show proof, or re-establishment that's a good step. 

 

 

For IV -

 

Sounds good, have you double checked the website for your country to make sure that's all the documents they require?

 

If not, double check to be safe :)  http://travel.state....ry/GG.html#docs

 

 

For IV:   Yes i double checked it and i have all of them. I checked IV package list by Country specifications.

 

AOS Pakcage: Yes her mother claims her on tax return --- So do we need to do anything about it ?

 

                        Domicile: This is what about we are stressed,  I think all we have in AOS and IV packages are perfect except Domicile. We dont have much domicile honestly and i am trying to figure it out and i need your help guys how to improve it. 

 

First of all we tried to explain our condition in letter, like she is just 19 and that after finishing high school she left USA and lives in Georgia. We tried to write how we are going to establish domicile, like she will start university and i, beneficiary will start working there. Now i have good work, i am in Oil sector of Georgia and i have high chance to get office work through my in laws help. My wife went in USA 2 months ago to make everything ready for us when we will go in USA, like she ordered furniture for our room and clarified how we will get car, and tried to make living place ready for our arrival in US. It was all we did, about proof what we have is only:

 

? Maintained my XXXX voter registration

? Maintained my bank account at XXXX Bank

? Maintained my US PO box 

? Voter registration card showing permanent US address

 

Even i am not sure how my wife will get all those from another continent.

 

I want to mention:

 

My wife doesn't have assets in USA, no personal bank account (her account is expired and also is under her fathers account), expired gym membership, no car, she finished school and after came in Georgia so we dont have University paused or something like it. She voted first time when Obama won, but i dont know how we will get registration certificate, her PO box is registered under her uncles house.

 

I know everything is very complicated therefore i am freaking, i think we have chance to gather proof how we will establish domicile.

I have car and selling bc soon we will have visa i hope, i have work which i need to cancel, i have bank accounts i am going to close most of them (credit cards and debit where i get salary). But here is another problem i am planing to do all 1 month before interview not right now when i need to send AOS package which contains domicile docs.

 

Just i hope, NVC will take into consideration my wife's age and it will be explanation why she doesn't have much proof.

 

 

I am sorry guys for such much text i am sure it bothers to much people but i couldn't write it shorter.  Any advice will be extremely appreciated.

Hello amazing people of VJ!

 

I am beneficiary.

 

Especially here in this forum, i always get fast help and recommendation and therefore i decided to post here and get confirmation that i am not missing any papers what are necessary for AOS and IV packages! 

 

Below i have list of papers which i am going to send to NVC soon, any recommendation is highly appreciated!

 

AOS Package

  • AOS bar-coded cover sheet
  • Completed, signed, and dated Form I-864 from by Petitioner
  • Letter explaining petitioners/Primer sponsors financial situation (My wife hasn't paid any taxes, she was supported by family, therefore letter is about why we dont have IRS or any financial information filled in i-864, just N/A )

  • Domicile letter and proof (My petitioner, wife is just 19 years old, when she came in Europe for me she was just 18 and since we live together to my country. So my wife explained in letter that bc of her age she doesn't  have much property or any strong tie to USA, but we explained in letter very well how we will establish domicile and how our life is going to be) + little proof of domicile docs based on instruction provided by amazing Saylin

IV Package

  • IV bar-coded cover sheet
  • Two (2) passport-size photographs of beneficiary (case number, beneficiary?s full name, and date of birth are written on back of both)

    • Gift invoices
    • Passport stamps
    • Flight and hotel confirmations
    • Joint Bank account statement

Thank you guys for spending your time for helping us!

 

 


Well, it's all in NVC's hands (or their email inboxes) now!

 

Filled in the DS260 tonight (thank goodness for the exemplar on the website - I made up a Word document that I could just copy from one to the other... which was a good thing, because it didn't show up as available to fill out until after 9pm tonight (and we were packing to move, so I didn't actually see it until almost midnight). Anyway, I didn't have to think too much about it, just type while looking at my "cheat sheet"!

 

They have everything - I suppose it's possible that there'll be something they don't like or that for whatever reason, I'll get a checklist, but I've been as diligent as I know how to be, and with any luck, we'll be looking at a case complete near the end of July or the beginning of August - wouldn't that be awesome?

 

I'm bummed that the ds261 fiasco killed our chances of an August interview - we're going to be in eastern Canada then anyway, and it would have saved us probably $1200+ in airfare and hotels... but there's nothing we can do about that now, so we'll just have to work on making some friends in Montreal we can stay with when we come back in a couple months(!)

 

Best of luck to everyone, and please wish us luck too!

 

Wish you best and soon in USA

Hello guys, congratulations for all whose case got completed or interview got scheduled!

 

Yesterday i filled and submitted electronic form DS-261, i received AOS fee payment invoice on email today but when i am trying to do payment system doesn't allow me to get it. (it is usual stuffs, takes time maybe 1 day maybe 2).  I did package IV and AOS already, except IRS for what i am waiting still, i will have it for July 6. 

 

My questions are:

 

1) As i read and know, depending how fast you will submit  DS-261 as fast you will get IV Package (invoice for payment). Is it right, if yes how much does it take around after DS-261 is done?

 

2) Because i need to wait for IRS and therefore cant send AOS Package will it cause delay? I thought, I would get and send IV package around same time (after 10 days) when i will get IRS and be able to send AOS. Maybe no matter how fast you sent AOS, they dont start reviewing case before they dont have IV package received? (I hope so :) )

 

Appreciating any respond!

Thanks you very much guys.

For AOS package i am collecting papers already and i am wondering about two things.

1. Because of my wife doesn't work i got my father in law as joint sponsor. So my wife hasn't worked and doesn't have any tax information. At time of filling I-864 by my wife (first sponsor) do we need to write in financial info none everywhere and + make letter with explanation why we put none?

2. How much time does it take to get IRS after calling them?





 

3. My wife and i dont have much domicile established in US, like we dont have property we dont rent, nothing important belongs to us. Just what happened positive for it is that my wife went in USA for establishing Domicile like making our living condition ready, organizing home and so on. So do i need to mention it in there? 

 

This is amazing group here, so fast responds are very rare to another similar groups. Thanks

Hello Guys, I am beneficiary from Europe, Georgia, Tbilisi. Yesterday i got my case number and IV number and also provided emails to NVC. I try to enter in system for filling DS-261 and making AOS payment but, it doesn't allow me to do all even i cant get in system. (i read FAQ and it is usual stuff it takes around one week and i am waiting for that time be passed) My question is different, as i saw screenshots of DS-261 form provided by Saylin it demands Beneficiary ID to put in form at time of filling. I dont have one and i need to clarify how to get it or if it is optional at time of filling it. Thanks

i think notary public must be enough and Apostle isn't demanded. When translator translates papers notary will make act where will be mentioned that translator is certified and everything is translated appropriate way.  


in IV package instruction it is mentioned that all certificates must be no older than 12 month. So probably they meant for police and court and for such up datable certificates. (it is obvious if i married 2 years ago i cant get another and if i will get it will be same dates everywhere and same for birth and military)

 

What do you think about it guys?
