You and each family member immigrating with you must submit a photocopy of the biographic data page of a currently valid passport. The biographic data page is the page with your photograph, name, date, and place of birth.

• Send a photocopy of your biographic data page to NVC.
• Bring your original passport plus one photocopy of the biographic data page to your visa interview at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate.

Important: Do not send your original passport to NVC. You need this document to travel.

You will get the welcome letter with the checklist of what documents need to send from NVC

[Ryan H 3,798]

Moved from Progress Reports to Process & Procedures.

Let me clarify. In NVC step, you do not need to provide proof of bonafide marriage. The proof they ask for is a way of asking what type of relation you have to the joint sponsor, IF you have one. IF not, ignore that step. Here is how I organized my packets

 

IV Packet:

 

NVC Bar Coded Cover Letter

Beneficiary's Biographical Data of Passport

Beneficiary's Birth Certificate with Translation

Marriage Certificate with Translation

Police Certificate with Translation

Military Record with Translation

 

AOS Packet:

 

NVC Bar Coded Cover Letter

My I-864 signed

My 2016 Tax Exemption Affidavit (This is only for those who live abroad and did not work/file taxes or those in US that did not file taxes. The Tax Exemption Affidavit is simply done by typing it yourself, printing it then signing it. Otherwise, ignore this step)

My joint sponsor's I864 along with 2016 Taxes and w2 Forms

Joint Sponsor's Pay Stubs (Not needed but helps)

Joint sponsor's Employment Letter (Not needed but helps)

Domicile Proof (ONLY for those living abroad with the non US citizen spouse. It is a letter stating intent to re-establish a domicile within US, otherwise ignore this step)

Proof of relationship to joint Sponsor (could be a picture and letter stating who it is and how you know them)

My biographical data of passport

My birth Certificate

 

Beneficiary is the non US citizen. Biographical data means just the first page of passport where the information is at.

NOTE: some countries do not require a military record. You can check in your country's government website or call your embassy. 

If you have been exempt from Military Duty, send that document with translation.

 

Also, I made a replica of both packets. Which means one IV and AOS Packet I sent to NVC and the other IV and AOS Packet I kept for myself. 

Once I organized my documents, I wrote my NVC Case Number on every page in case of misplacement.

Hope this helps!

 

One last thing I want to add is that 3 years of tax is not mandatory but it helps a lot more. You can send the most recent year if that is all you got.

I sent the previous 3 years. So 2014, 2015 and 2016.

Good luck!
