Hi

We sent our I864 over a month after receiving it. Before we could send our I864 we had to wait until we had further documents before we filed the I864. We sent the Visa Application off first and then the I864.

You should have no problems with sending your I864 a month later. It will just delay the processing and your interview date will be at a later date.

For AOS, I was just starting a new job due to graduating from college and my previous job did not provide enough income since it was only part time. I wrote a letter explaining why I did not meet the minimum requirement for the previous two years and also included what my annual income would be with my new job. It worked for us and we were approved. We did have a back-up plan since my dad was willing to co-sponsor if needed, but it was so much easier this way.

You really need to submit the pay stub(s) to substantiate your income and support your claim of employment.

I did not send any pay stubs. I'm not saying this would for sure work for you, but in our experience it did. All I sent is a letter from my employer stating when I would start working, what my income would be, and that it was not a temporary position. I also sent a letter of explanation that I wrote so they would know that my job status had changed since my last year's taxes were filed and I included on there what my expected annual income would now be.

As a side note, one thing you will find is that overall on VJ people will tell you to take/send more evidence than what even USCIS or NVC requests (e.g. according to the instructions on the I-864, there is no need to send recent pay stubs unless requested to do so. Here's what they say..."You may include evidence supporting your claim about your expected income for the current year if you believe that submitting this evidence will help you establish ability to maintain sufficient income. You are not required to submit this evidence, however, unless specifically instructed to do so by a Government official. For example, you may include a recent letter from your employer, showing your employer's address and telephone number, and indicating your annual salary. You may also provide pay stub(s) showing your income for the previous six months. If your claimed income includes alimony, child support, dividend or interest income, or income from any other source, you may also include evidence of that income.")

All that to say this, I don't think it's a bad thing to send pay stubs, etc., but at the same time it is not something that USCIS specifically looks for. It is always good to be over-prepared rather than under-prepared. So really, it's your call as to whether you want to try sending it with or without the pay stubs. It may result in an RFE, but then at the same time, not sending it for a month will also result in a delay.

I agree with DebWa. Why not send in what you have now and if they accept it great, if they ask for more evidence like a recent paystub then send it in when you get it.

Agreed, however, in the case of the OP, he has no tax returns from previous years to submit. So pay stubs would not hurt in his case, he has no other way to document any income other than the letter from his employer.

So It's fine even it took almost 2 months before you send your final documents to NVC?

After they received the documents and complete.How long it takes to process the schedule of interview?Any idea?

:) T.Y

NVC will leave your case open for up to one year after your most recent contact with them.

In other words, as long as you keep in touch with them (send off your "Choice of Agent" info, for example) you can pay your fee when ready and your case will be waiting for you. Processing time varies from a few weeks to 2 months, although this of course depends on how busy they are. Interview dates depend on the country - check the timelines to see how your country compares. Good luck.
