Mother of US citizen-urgent help

[gol_e_ehsan 0]

Hello! I have an important question regarding a application to bring the mother of a US citizen from Iran.

We have already sent the main application along with the fees, we then were asked for the I894 affidavit of support. We also sent that and then a couple weeks later we received a letter with a checklist of some things that they said were missing frm the affidavit of support.

I can get the missing info, but my question is do i just send them the missing info or do i need to submit a whole new affidavit of support?? If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it. I would hate to do it wrong and delay her case even further.

Also, once they receive that info along with the DS230, which they also requested, does anyone know after that how long it takes for them to schedule the interview?

Thanks for all your help and good luck to all of you as well!

Only send the documents or information they requested along with a copy of the RFE you received, that should make things easier for them.

After they receive both, the I-864 documentation and the DS-230, it takes them about 2 weeks to complete the case and then they'll make an appointment with the US embassy.

What are your RFE?

There was one part of the I864 that was incomplete, I think we were supposed to have written n/a if we didnt have an answer, not leave the field blank. Also, I have one additional document about my income that i need to send. So I can just send the missing parts rather than sending a whole new affidavit?

I also have received an email requesting a $400 fee, this should mean we are towards the end of the process right?

Once we send that fee and they have all of their documents do you know how long it should take them to give us an appointment?

Thank you!

Pay your IV bill. Wait for it to clear. Then send in your DS230 package.

you are 'totally paper', right?

Yer not using the online payment portal for anything, right?

you're 'waiting' on NVC to tell you, the next step, each time, right?

re: the RFE - you're to 'answer' the RFE, give them the info they've described, and no more. Of course, if you think you've mucked about, made a grievous error with the I-864 - then MAYBE you should consider making a NEW I-864 with supporting documentation, and send that back with the RFE coversheet (make a copy of that, for yer files btw)

re: ds-230 - since yer doing 'paper processing' - sure - you can send in the check with the ds-230 package - no worries there. This is how it 'used to be done' - and NVC still handles 'that postal processing'.

Here's some gov links for you -

good luck !

Thanks a lot for all of your responses! Yeah, we had been paying online before but the site was down for a couple days, so we opted to just send the check rather than waiting to see when the site would be back up. I called the NVC today and they said only send what we asked for so I guess I'll wait for the IV bill to clear and then do that.

Does anyone know.....they give the interview after this step, correct?
