NVC needs additional documents

[Mikesway 0]

I called today to check the status. A nice lady told me that they would be sending me (and my lawyer) and email telling me what documents they need and a new cover sheet for said documents. They told me that I needed a bank statement showing that I had the amount of money that I put on the I864, W2's from my 2011 Tax Return (lawyer told me that a tax transcript from IRS was enough) and a copy of my wife's passport. (My lawyer says that she sent that in the package, and I believe her)

Well I wish it didn't take 3-5 days to send an email because I already have all the documents ready. I plan on sending them overnight. Does anyone know if it will take much longer to process once they have the required documents, or are we almost home free? Thanks VJ'ers

It'll take about a week, the same amount of time as reviewing the initial AOS package.

Hi Mikesway!

I read over your post and got somewhat worried. I sent in the I-864EZ late last week because I met all the specific requirements and I do not remember reading about sending in bank statements. You said to 'show that you had the amount of money that you put on the I864'. On the EZ it asks for annual income and u can imagine I would not have that amount ALL in any bank account.

My AoS packet consisted of the following:

-I-864EZ

-2011 Tax Return

-2011 W-2

-Last 6 months of pay stubs

-Employment Letter

Please clarify if I am missing something.

Thank you!

Well I don't mean that you have to have all of your annual income in your bank account. But there is a line that ask something like "List total amount in all checking and savings accounts" (I don't have acces to the form right now, so I don't remember exactly what line it is.) I called back and asked what would happen if my bank statement didn't show exactly the same ammount (because obviously amounts change) she said that they would have to review it. (hopefully it won't delay the process, for me it's only about a $7.00 difference)

Does anyone know for sure if this will be a big deal? Will they make me change the form to show the exact amount? I am REALLY hoping to have no more delays. Thanks

Don't worry about bank statements. There isn't a question on the I-864EZ about bank accounts, so you don't need to provide any.

On the I-864 though, there are a few questions about it (that are optional), and if you fill in the section (indicating you want to use assets to help qualify), then you need to provide proof of those assets with bank statements.

Just send NVC an updated I-864 then that reflects the exact amount that's on your bank statements. That way, you don't have to worry about it.
