Need guidance on documents for NVC step

[maisflocon]

Hi all,

 

I am applying IR-1/CR-1 for my wife and I have gotten the letter from NVC asking us to pay the $470. I want to make sure I am not making any mistake for my next step.

 

The things I am planning to get next

1) Police certificates

2) Fill out Form DS-230 Part 1

3) 2 passport sized photographs

4) Original birth certificate for petitioner

5) Original birth certificate for beneficiary

6) Original marriage certificate

7) Copy of passport biographic page for both of us

8) Copy of naturalization certificate

9) Form I-864 and last three years of tax returns

 

Questions:

 

Am I missing anything important from the above list?

 

Do I need to mail the original birth certificates and marriage certificate to NVC?

 

For the tax returns, can I just send tax transcripts? Does it have to include 2009?

hi maisflocon,

 

you can start by reading this link from NVC, http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_1335.html, it list all the documents you need to submit to NVC.

 

1 - yes

2 - submit DS-230 part 1 and 2

3 - yes

4 - i did not submit my birth certificate for petitioner

5 - yes

6 - yes

7 - copy of passport biographic for her

8 - i did not submit my naturalization certificate

9 - yes and i submit 2009, 2008, 2007

 

i mailed the original birth certifcate and marriage certifcate to NVC and my wife recieved the above original documents back after the interview in GZ.

 

tax transcripts from IRS is ok but i mailed my 2009, 2008 and 2007 tax returns.

 

you can read my time line for reference, good luck.

You do not have to send original documents, you can send certified copies instead.

What is a passport biographic page? Please forgive my ignorance. I do not recall seeing any such page in my passport. Or is this what we call the page that has my name, photo, date of passport issue, etc?

 

Again, please forgive my lack of knowledge.
