Supporting Documents for Spouse NVC Process

[Roland3337 1]

I am getting extremely frustrated with the NVC part of getting my wife's visa.

The confusing part is what supporting documents should I include in the IV package? I don't want to send superfluous things, that could cause delay and confusion. But I also don't want to leave something out. I've reviewed the wiki, and this is what is listed:

-Bar-coded cover sheet from payment portal
-Cover letter (optional)
-Two passport-style photographs (2" x 2") of beneficiary (on the back, write: beneficiary's full name, date of birth, and case number)
-Copy of bio-data page of beneficiary's unexpired passport
-Photocopy of beneficiary's birth certificate
-Photocopy of marriage certificate
-Photocopy of police certificate(s)

I get all of that. But the bar-coded cover letter asks for things that are confusing me:

-Marriage termination documents (she's never been married, but I'm divorced. Send my divorce certificate, or not?)

-Proof of relationship (Our photos together, boarding passes from meetings, passport stamps, etc?)

-Proof of U.S. status (My passport? My birth certificate?)

-Petitioner documents (which ones?)

If someone else has recently been though this with a spouse and could help me out, I would be extremely grateful.

The nvc is stating everything needed for everyone regardless of visa type. Include what is needed for your case and disregard the rest. You dont need to send your divorce docs again and you already proved your status. You can send relationship evidence if you choose so the co sees it before interview.

Answers:

• don't send (they only want hers and she doesn't have one since she was not married before)
• sending that is up to you
• not needed
• nothing needed
