Hi. I have graduated to this round of the immigration process. I'll post my timeline and some questions I am now dealing with at this point in the process. I look forward to the help any seniors in this process can provide. Thanks.
Here is my timeline so far:
I130's for Spouse and two children
Where - VSC
When - Nov 2006
Status - Approved June 14, 2007
AOS FEE Sent July 2, 2007
DS3032 Form Sent July 2, 2007
I just received three separate letters for my wife and two daughters whom I filed I-130's for. The letters I received today are from the US Department of State (NVC), Portsmouth NH. Each letter begins by saying:
"We have received from the immigrant visa petition that you filed on behalf of (my wife and each daughter). Before we can continue processing, you must pay the enclosed bill for the required fee: You must send:
1. The enclosed AFFIDAVIT OF SUPPORT (AOS) FEE BILL....
*Until we receive this fee from you, we cannot process your case".
Now, here are the questions I'd like to ask.
A. Do I need to send the $70 dollar fee for each of my family members (wife, daughter, and daughter)? In this case the total amount would be $210.00. I ask this because on the third page of the letter there
is this "Exception notice":
*Exceptions: If you are a US citizen filing a separat Afficdavit of Support
(I-864) for your spouse and children to immigrate, you only need to submit one $70.00 fee.*
I am a bit confused about this.
B. My second question is about the DS-3032 form (Choice of Address and Agent).
I would like to know if I can be my wife and children's "Agent"? Also, would it be in our best interest to change my wife's mailing address in her home country to my home address here in the States? As you can see I am already receiving mail at my address but I am confused about this too. Also, I'd like to know if the DS3032 forms for each of my daughter's would be signed by my wife? They are both minors.
Finally, what is the IV fee for and when do you pay it?
