Hello All!

We rec'd our NOA 2 approval letter (via email & text) June 2012 and have been patiently waiting for our NVC case number to be assisgned so we can move forward with the next step.

I've been reading LingChe's NVC Shortcut guide on the wiki to make sure we have everything prepared when the time comes. According to the guide we should have:

  • Form DS-230
  • Form I-864 (with support documents: United States Tax Returns for years 2011, 2010, 2009)
  • Original marriage certificate
  • Photocopy of marriage certificate
  • Original birth certificate of applicant
  • Photocopy of applicant’s birth certificate
  • Photocopy of applicant’s passport bio page
  • Two passport size photos of applicant
  • Certificate of Clearance - Senegal
  • Certificate of Clearance - Gambia

But I am wondering what documents to send to verify my 2012 income. I am self-employed and have contracts with my clients. Should I send in all contracts (about 3 so far) with clients to verify income? Will these be accepted? These contracts - except for one - are documents I have created on my business letterhead. My tax returns verify my self-employed status.

Will these contracts be enough or should I include additional supporting materials?

One bonus question: How soon can my husband schedule his medical exam? Does he have to wait until he actually has an interview scheduled or is that something he can do while we are waiting?

Thank you all for your assistance. This process has only be easy because of your support!

Since we filed k1, I can only give you some information on the medical part. My fiance saw Dr. Rahmi. You can dind his info under the consulate information. Medicals are good for one year. Emmy went for his medical about 2 weeks after the embassy received his case. But that was because he was waiting for his police report. He said he didn't need an appt. The doctor told him to come for. The results at least 5 business days before the interview.

Thank you for the reply. This is good news. I'll let my husband know to call Dr. Rahmi. Did your husband have to take any forms or other information besides his ID/Passport?

Also, a side question, did you email or post mail form I-864 to your fiance to include in his package to the NVC? I'm not sure if an emailed copy will be accepted since I have to sign the form then scan it in to email.

So good to hear the success of others in the region!

He took his passport, the letter from NVC with his case number, just in case, and 2 photos. We did the K1, so we turned in I134 at the interview. They didnt even ask for taxes, or letter of employment.

Ok. Great. He is in Gambia at the moment, but he will call the doctor on return to Dakar.
