AOS and DS230 Question

[Mrsm31 0]

Hi I already paid my AOS and it said PAID when I signed in to check on it at the nvc website

I have all my AOS information already

But I am still waiting on all my husband information for Ds230, I wont get all of the paperwork until next Wednesday and I most likely wont mail it in at being that i am getting it toward the end of the week I want to mail everything off during the beginning of the week during working business hours..

So do you guys think I should wait and send in both AOS and Ds230 together or should I just go ahead and send in my AOS since it is paid and ready to go??

I read on here most ppl send them both in together I am wondering why?

Some people say it's better to send them together, others say it doesn't matter.

I sent both together because it saves money on postage, you only have one package to worry about, and it won't lose you any time (your case won't be completed until they've reviewed both packages anyway). The only situation I can think of in which it might be good to send in the AOS earlier is if you suspect that you're likely to get an RFE for it... if that happened, you would have more time to respond to it while you're waiting on the DS-230 to be processed.

If you do send them together, make sure the packets are clearly separated. I used a big binder clip to keep each packet together with the appropriate barcoded cover sheet on top. I then put them both in a flat rate USPS Priority Mail envelope ($4.95 with free delivery confirmation if you pay online – got there in 2 business days) and sent them off to the address given on the Immigrant Visa Application cover sheet. I had no problems doing it that way.

I got an RFE as well, but it had nothing to do with the packets being sent together.
