NVC exempt.

[Speedy troy 9]

Hi, finally had my son's I-130 approved and the application has been sent to the NVC. When I tried to pay the fee I only saw the one ($325), the other fee was $120+ was showing as exempt next to it. Is that normal?
Now I'm starting to upload his documents. With so much info around, can you guys share with me what civil documents and financial docs I need? Because of the AOS exempt does that mean I dont need the i864?

What kind of application is this and how old is your son? It would be super helpful if you filled in your timeline.

 

Civil docs etc are listed here, so follow that exactly - make sure you use the country specific guidelines too. That will also explain which fees apply to your son. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition/step-2-begin-nvc-processing.html

He's under the I-130 and he's 16 months. I paid the immigration visa fee but the other one was waived.

So IR2 or F2A? 

 

If he's 16 months then presumably that's why it's been waived - see the info on the link above.

First thing that comes to mind is that this is the natural child of a US Citizen who could not pass citizenship at birth.  In this case, once the child enters the USA using an IR2 visa, to reside with the US Citizen parent, they are immediately a US Citizen.  That's a case that would exempt the IR2 child.  Is that the situation?

Oh I didn't know this, and yes I am a USC but I couldn't go down the CRBA route due to lack of the 5 year rule at the time of his birth. Once he gets here, how can I apply for his passport?
I was kind of confused when I saw the "exempt" in the NVC profile. I just need to gather the documents normally?

Apply for the passport the same as you would if your child was born in the USA.  The visa and entry stamp are the evidence of Citizenship needed along with birth certificate and translation, if needed, would be the evidence of Citizenship.
