NVC ( bank statements/personal affidavit)

[I&A/T 44]

We are getting everything together that we can possibly come up with for the NVC phase. I have seen where some people have included personal statements or relationship timelines, which have been written by the USC. Is this recommended?

 

Also, I haven’t seen anything saying they were required for the Affidavit of Support, but should bank statements be submitted?  I was planning to submit tax transcripts for the past three years, W2s, pay stubs, an employee letter, and my retirement account profile.  Should bank account info be included?

If you choose to sideload at the NVC submit whatever relationship evidence you have collected since the I-130. 

 

W2s are not needed if you submit a tax return transcript.  Submitting them can actually result in a checklist for an incomplete tax return.  Bank statements and retirement profiles are only needed if using assets.  Use the I-864ez if you qualify.

If you meet the requirements with all your transcripts you should be fine just sending that, the only additional thing I sent was 4 pay stubs just to show I still had active income, but I don't even know if I needed to do that.

What about the personal affidavit? Any idea?

I didn't include that, I guess a brief summary wouldn't hurt, but I wouldn't put lots of effort into it, and affidavits from others carry little weight, I didn't include any of that and I was approved.
