After Agent confusion - AOS fee didn't come but Immigrant visa application fee email came

[jamesbond 0]

Seniors,

Even after reading the Wiki I am little confused. I just became Agent for my spouse a few days ago on NVC. Today, I received an email asking $325 for Immigrant visa application fee which came before the AOS fee of $120. Should I go ahead and submit $325 now? Also, at bottom of these emails it talks of documents of support, so do I send my tax return, paystubs, marriage certificate with pictures now? Thanks in advance.

Yes it's fine to submit the payment for the IV before the AOS fee. But double check that you can't indeed pay the AOS fee.

When you send the document package you need to send the IV and AOS documents. That includes the tax return (or tax return transcript), pay stubs, along with all the IV docs including marriage certificate, police certificate, copy of the biodata page of the passport, birth certificate etc... As the other poster suggested please read the guides and the document cover page the NVC should have emailed to you. It includes a list of documents you need to provide.

All the documents you listed have to be mailed with fees? I am reading you can submit one year of tax return or three year but what is required or how many years should I submit? Also, the Police certificate my wife has to get from India and send me copy to mail to USCIS right? Thanks for all the help.

Fees are paid online. Documents are mailed if you arent eligible for electronic processing.

Today, I paid fees for both AOS and Immigrant application. How will I know if I am eligible to submit documents online? Also, regarding Police Certificate, Is there a form I or my wife has to fill?

Depends on country. India is not EP.

The NVC website describes how to get the required police certificates.
