Hey all,

There is a lot of confusion in what comes next so, I have a few questions that I hope some of you have answers to.

1. What AOS form should I use, and what AOS form should my Parents (co-sponsors) use? I am living in Romania with my Fiance and therefore I do not have a job, so I have to file using my parents as co-sponsors. I just don't know which form I should use and/or my parents should use, I-134, I-864, or I-864A.

2. For the AOS, how much income and assets will be adequate? There will be 5 people living in the household My Parents (co-sponsors), me (sponsor), and my Fiance and her son (2 beneficiaries). I know there is a 5 x rule, but I don't know what amount to multiply it by (eg. $15,000 or $20,000).

3. Will the NVC require us to send them any information/documents?

4. Will we need to send the Romanian embassy any information/documents before we go to the interview?

5. I know there must be a background check and a medical checkup completed for my Fiance. When should she start working on this?

Any information would be greatly appreciated. As I am sure you can all understand, I want to make sure that I have everything organized and ready as soon as they are requested to speed the process along.

Thanks much, j and E

I was wondering which form I will need for my fiancee's financial sponser, too. Does anybody know? Is it different for different countries?

Regarding question 4, Tei, your fiance will get an instruction packet in the mail. It varies per case, but it should include something like the following.

DS-2001 (or OF-169 or UK/85) -- This is your main set of instructions. It is also a checklist of items required for the interview.
OF-167 -- information sheet about financial responsibility. You may also receive an I-134 Affidavit of Support form.
DS-230 or OF-230 Part 1 -- biographical data sheet.
DS-156 -- Nonimmigrant visa application form
DS-156K -- Nonimmigrant fiance(e) visa application
DS-157 -- Supplemental Nonimmigrant Visa Application (for all males between ages of 16 and 45)
You may, at this time, receive medical exam information, and a list of required immunizations.
DSL-1083 -- An information sheet about police certificates, military records and more.


After you get this packet, you will have to submit DS-230, which is basic bibliographical info, and then the DS-2001 checklist, which is just a checklist of documents your fiance needs to gather. You won't have to submit any of the documents besides those two before your interview.


Regarding question 5, the medical exam will be just about the last thing you do. In fact, some embassies require you to do the medical exam and interview on the same day. You can prepare a little bit by checking what immunization shots your fiance has had.

Congrats are in order!!!! so, Congrats!!!!

tei,

I-134
