Fees are now showing "PAID" in the portal... I guess it's time to tackle that DS-260 and send in the supporting evidence. This is mildly paralyzing. What's the general advice with the DS-260? Is it better attacked with alcohol or caffeine?

lol .. BOTH! Waiting on my DS-260 to show up .. then we're DONE and will wait for a Case Complete! :)

Hello people.. Just a quick question. I filled DS-261 and paid $88 for AOS on 20th of May. I had already sent my I-864 form with last 2 years Income Tax returns along with my I-130 Petition Package. I also mentioned it in the checklist I attached with my I-130 petition. Do I have to send it again? or would they send me an email or something?

** I even attached the letter of employment (Current).

Info for my Sept peeps (repost from NVC thread)

Hey guys,

So I already informed Saylin about an update to the NVC site, but just a heads up to everyone: The DS-260 confirmation page is now mandatory to bring to the interview.

On the NVC website, it states, "After submitting the Form DS-260 online, print the confirmation page. You must bring the confirmation page to your visa interview."

More information can be found here as well as an example of the 260 itself: http://travel.state....nts/submit.html

For EP applicants, apparently, "If you provided the NVC with scanned copies that you submitted via email, you will be required to present the original documents at your interview, along with a photocopy of each document." I didn't know if people were already aware of this information or not, but that is found here: http://travel.state....ew/prepare.html

Hmm .. do you have an attorney? Wondering why you sent the AOS information with the I-130. I would personally send the AOS again because it has a document cover sheet that you need to provide along with the documentation. I would call NVC and ask if you need to resubmit the information because you already sent it to USCIS. I have a feeling they'll say that you need to submit the AOS package anyway.

Yes, you need to submit it again. They're not going to comb through the I-130 package to look for your tax returns as they're not required for the I-130 package.
