NVC Question

[natanicole 0]

Hi all,

 

I recently got mi i130 approved, and my case has been sent to the nvc. They already sent me my case # and invoice #.

 

My question is though, I have been living in Guatemala up until October of 2021 and I started working the same month I got here. Since I don't meet the required income my brother will be my joint sponsor. Do I have to pay the $120 for each i864, or just mine? Also I did my 2021 taxes and have yet to do my 2022 taxes. Will I have to use my recent year taxes?

 

I am a little lost here so please be nice. Any help is appreciated.

Just one AOS fee, you'll see on your ceac portal.

 

Recent tax year is 2020 (filing done in 2021). If the interview occurs after April, the CO may ask for 2021 tax return documents.

Only 1 AOS fee needed.

 

The most recent previous tax year is 2020 until April 18 (or April 19?).  For NVC you can submit the 2020 taxes if you complete the I-864s by then.  But for the interview, which will be sometime later this year (hopefully), updated I-864s with the 2021 taxes will more than likely be required.

 

Also, you marked "DCF" in your profile.  If your case is at NVC then I assume you did not do Direct Consular Filing?  DCF is where the embassy handles everything, I-130, AOS, IV, etc.
