Hi everyone, we did the DS 261 form online on monday and also paid the AOS fee yesterday. Whats the nex thing we need to do? Or prepare ourselve ahead to do? I saw on the immigrant visa website page that we should mail all supporting documentations. I don't understand this and pls what are the documents?

Somebody please enlighten me more on the documents we need to submit and when we should submit them?

Thanks

You have to start collecting the documents for the AOS package. As well as the civil docs so that you can send them right away when you pay the IV fee. Here are a couple of links with info:

Once is status PAID then you can start, mailing out your documents make sure has a barcode included that is place on front for them easy to scan it

got nervous for a sec... hubby sent the package first thing yesterday and the AOS fee was still in Process.

I just checked the status after reading your comment. Glad, it already shows Paid now. :dancing:

Yeah, it can take a few days to update. You should be able to print the cover letter and send the docs if you have everything.
