NVC questions (merged threads)

[Seth And Quynh 77]

I'm currently going to be visiting my wife for our marriage ceremony and i'll be gone for 3 months and was wondering will it make any difference being outside the usa during this stage, my dad is the co sponsor and he could handle the paperwork and send it in. i can also help her gather her documents and send it is as one package with my supporting documents. any advice?

Enjoy your trip.  

 

Your plan if perfectly fine.  After marrying and filing the I-130, it will take more than 3 months for you to hear back from USCIS.  The only thing you will get if you file correctly is the receipt notice for the I-130 during these 3 months.

I mean the NVC stage sorry my I-130 was approved Already

What does the IV Package look like and whats all included in it for vietnam i want to gather the documents in advance? also do i send the AOS package along with Supporting Financial Documents with the IV Packet as one package?

If she is already your wife, then why do you need a wedding ceremony?

 

There is nothing during the spousal visa process that requires you to be in the US.

If your father can handle the paperwork than that's fine. I think it's even better if you can attend the interview with her.

Enjoy your trip!

@Jojo92122 She's Catholic and her parents want her to have a traditional wedding before she leaves

My wife lives in a town where mail can be hard to get so we use a different address to send stuff to her. On the I-864 it says mailing address so should i put the address i usually send her mail or should i use the physical address she is at? Or should i write a little post it not and tell that the mailing address is where she receives her mail and i can give her physical address?

IMHO if you guys use a different address for mail then use that one. Each of these forms usually has a box asking to check it if the mailing address is different then the physical address.

You should really check the NVC website for the most up to date info for your country. They generally say photos shouldn't be more than 6 months old. I don't think you have to send photos to the NVC anymore anyway.

Submitting the AOS Package soon here's the list

I-864- petitioner

I-864- Joint Sponsor

Tax Return Transcripts- 2014-2016 petitioner

Tax Return Transcripts- 2014-2016 Joint Sponsor 

Pay stubs- petitioner

Pay stubs- Joint Sponsor

Passport- petitioner 

Passport- Joint Sponsor

Birth Certificate- petitioner 

Is this Good Enough ?

[SabRob 154]

Yep, sounds like all of those should suffice. Is the joint sponsor related to you, hence the birth certificate? Also make sure you submit the AOS and the IV package at the same time so the NVC doesn't lose one of them or anything!

[Seth And Quynh 77]

@SabRob Yup the Joint Sponsor is my dad but theres's more evidence such as i'am on his Tax Transcript listed as a dependent 

[Seth And Quynh 77]

on the DS-261 it ask Surname and Given Name, Now Vietnamese names go last-middle-first

So for the Given Name should it be First then Middle or Middle the First

it tells me to do exactly as it is in the passport but i was told by two nvc officals over the phone to do it First then Middle. Any Help?
