As everyone in this group gets closer to the NVC, I made a list of documents needed so you guys can prepare. NVC is reviewing document in two business days. That means the quicker you scan and upload you documents, the quicker your interview will be scheduled. The first step at NVC is to make the payments once case number is assigned: $325 and $120.

 

The IV application and requested documents will available 2 to 3 business days after payment is entered.

 

For the IV application, you will need the beneficiary's address history from the age of 16 and school information (high school and above). So get that ready.

 

The following documents are needed:

 

Civil Documents:

Beneficiary birth certificate, marriage certificate, divorce papers (if any), beneficiary passport picture, and police certificate for any country lived over 6 months (not including USA).

 

AOS Documents:

Sponsor: I-864, 2018 tax transcript, and proof of domicile (if your physical address is not in the US).

Joint-Sponsor: I-864, proof of U.S. Status (passport, birth certificate, certificate of naturalization, green card), proof of U.S. Domicile (lease, mortgage, utility bill, car re gistration, voter registration, etc.),  and 2018 tax transcript.

 

Good luck to everyone, and hope this helps.

That only proves U.S. status. Proof of Domicile will be an official document with the sponsor's address, such as lease, mortgage, utility bill, car registration, voter registration, bank statement, etc.

Most embassy will have you scan and upload these documents to CEAC. If you are doing the interview in the Philippines, you will can and upload the documents. There will be areas to download specific documents. They are very picky and need to be legible and under 2mb. I used a website called smallpdf to compress and combine documents as needed. The original civil documents need to be taken to the interview by the beneficiary. It takes about 4-5 weeks to get case number AFTER NVC RECEIVES the case from USCIS, it typical takes 2 weeks after your approval for USCIS to send and NVC recevie the case.
