Received NVC Letter & Got Case Number Assigned

[GuruSikh 6]

Hello Everyone

NOA2 Date: Oct. 28, 2014

NVC Letter: December 18, 2014

I received NVC letter via e-mail in my name and my wife's name ( 2 separate e-mails with letter in PDF format).

-----

In the letter it included:

-NVC Case Number

-Invoice ID Number

-http://nvc.state.govwebsite with the next 6 steps.
-How to contact the NVC (also on this link: http://www.visajourney.com/content/nvc-case-status)

-Affidavit of Support Fee Invoice

-Document Cover Sheet

I know I am suppose to follow this guide: http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NVC_Process

I had a few questions

Question 1: Should I start gathering the documents for the IV and AOS Packets?

Question 2: The Document Checklist included in the e-mail, are we suppose to follow their list or the one in the NVC guide?

Question 3: The proof of relationship, will that be exactly like I included in my 1-130 package, but proof would start from the date after I sent 1-30 package right?

Question 4: Affidavit of Support should be in my father's name? We live in traditional joint family; where my wife, my father, my mother and I will live together.

I came to India on October 17, 2014 to rebuild my father's house in India & am living there with my wife. I will leave when my wife's visa is approved. The house should be done in 2 months.

Question 5: Being a US Citizen and living in India while my wife's visa process is going on, do I have to something extra different during the process? I think I read something about in the NVC guide, but wasn't sure if it applied to me.

Thanks

1) you should have done this already. Because it sounds like you haven't then yes, do it now.

2) doesn't matter

3) sending relationship evidence at this stage is a personal decision but send anything you want the CO to see before the interview.

4) You need an affidavit of support. Always the petitioner is the main sponsor. Any joint sponsors must be domiciled (living) in the USA and a USC or LPR.

5) yes you may need to provide proof of reestablishing domicile in the USA unless you are only visiting India and have a job, a home, etc, in the USA still.

ok thank very much for the help.

4) Sorry, I meant the joint petitioner, which will be my father.

5.) I am naturalized US citizen, our whole family have been living in the US for 20+ years; our house and our family business etc is all in the US. We only visit India.

There is no such thing as a joint petitioner. If your father has agreed to be a joint sponsor, then he would need to fill out his own I-864.
