NVC document requirements for IR2 visa

[EDINN2505 3]

My father sent financial and civil documents to NVC today. I'm scared something will be missing or not correct.
-Sent them Document Cover Sheet from NVC welcome letter on top of everything and Cover sheets of fee payments over I-864 and civil documents.
-Used I-864EZ based on travel.state.gov instructions.
-Did not send W2 as he is truck driver and is self employed so he says he does not have W2.
-Did not send proof of assets, he read somewhere that it is not needed for this visa.
-For petitioner documents: naturalization certificate.
-Proof of relationship: my birth certificate.
-Evidence of income: photocopies of checks, contract with company.

I think that is it, is this okay? If there is something incorrect or missing, can that delay my case for long?

If your father doesn't have a W2 then he can't use the Form I-864EZ. He needs to complete a full Form I-864. Even though he is self-employed, you still need to provide the most recent tax returns with all schedules or a copy of the most recent tax transcript.

Did you check to see if he earns enough to sponsor you by himself or if he'll need a joint sponsor?

If there is anything missing then yes, you will be issued a checklist from NVC and there will be a slight delay.

Though so.. He did send IRS tax transcript for last 3 years. I don't know how much income he needs? For 2015 it was $120k. Is that enough? I hope not big delay. I would love to have my interview by end of july.

Ohh ok, you didn't mention the transcripts so I wasn't sure.

Here are the guidelines you'll need to follow depending on household size: https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-864p.pdf

Although I'm assuming $120k is more than enough.

Yes, he sent IRS transcripts, federal income tax returns, for evidence of income he sent contract with company and photocopies of checks, sent proof of US status only naturalization certificate. Did not send W2(not available, social security earnings statement and proof of assets.

Doesn't matter, if the income isn't on a W2 you can't use the I-864EZ.

Received email today from NVC. They received documents June 10th and it will take about 30 days to review case.. So if they ask for another I-864 or something missing it will take 1 month more for interview?... Maybe they will accept I-864EZ without W2 because he sent them 1099, he says it's similar to W2 but this form 1099 is like W2 for his job?

Id be surprised if it went through without a checklist.

You will be receiving a check ? you have to follow NVC instructions very carefully to see what's needed if not back in the waiting game it's their own way

Well you got a case complete without a problem congrats and good luck for your interview

Just to help people who may be in similar situation as I was, I-864EZ works without W2 but he sent IRS transcripts and form 1099.
