I-130 and AOS

[Happytime 0]

After reviewing the i-130 checklist here http://www.visajourney.com/content/i130guide1 I noticed that the packet does not list the AOS. it does, however list this as an interview item. Does this need to be filed at a different location? I can't imagine that it needs to simply be brought to the interview, as I would think this is something that needs to be vetted.

for reference, I have a co-sponsor living in America, while I live abroad, should both of these be sent from the same address? Together or separate?

Thanks in advance

The Affidavit of Support happens at the NVC stage.

As Harpa mentioned, the AOS gets set in at the NVC stage. There's also the IV package to be sent in around the same time.

And if you have a joint sponsor, then both their documents and yours have to be in the same AOS package. So either have the joint sponsor mail their documents to you and then mail the package, or you mail everything to the joint sponsor, they include their documents, and then they mail everything to NVC. Whichever way you choose, all AOS documents have to be together in the same envelope.

Is there a flowchart for this? found the K3 but not really interested in that... would I send the AOS aft I have the NOA2?

Yes, the flowchart for NVC is here: http://www.visajourney.com/examples/NVC_Process_Flowchart_v1-2.pdf

And no, you only send the AOS package once you pay the $88 bill and it clears.
