NVC Filers - August 2014

AOS question for people with Mumbai consulate experience.

I have received checklist from NVC regarding AOS. It says following.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

______F - FINANCIAL EVIDENCE:______________________________________

The NVC has received the information you have submitted in reference to the Affidavit of Support. Please be advised that the Affidavit of Support information you have provided does not appear to meet the minimum income requirement according to the current poverty guidelines to sponsor the intending immigrant(s) for this petition. The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of your interview. In order to avoid delays, you may wish to submit an additional Affidavit of Support (Form I-864) for a/another Joint Sponsor to the National Visa Center to assist in sponsoring the intending immigrants. To view the current poverty guidelines, visit http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-864P.pdf.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My income is below poverty line. But I have more than enough assets in checking account to cover five times the difference between poverty line and yearly income. I did not get co-sponsor because according to I 864 instructions I met income requirement by adding my assets to my annual income. I called NVC and they told me that assets are not taken into account at NVC stage and consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of your interview. Lady at NVC told me to check Mumbai consulate practice on how they handle assets to meet the minimum income requirement.

Is there any one here with similar situation at Mumbai consulate? Did consular officer consider your assets? Please share your experience.

Thank you in advance.

I think (and its just my own opinion) at the very most they will ask you to find a joint sponsor if Mumbai consulate doesn't like what they see.

By the way do you know the scan date of your AOS?

ok Im pretty sure this is in the wiki and I felt very confident until now that I am actually filling out the ds 260, it asks if I am or will be immigrating to the us with my spouse, I am the USC so I dont think I will be immigrating with her, but I am living in Mexico with her so it kind of confuses me??? anyone can help me with this to feel a little more easy minded?

USC never immigrates to the USA you just move there.

If you're the USC, you're not immigrating to the US, you're merely moving back. Big difference.

Unfortunatly im from december 2013, wish they would stop the auto-expedite as of right nowwwww.

Its soooo unfair for all of us waiting to get approved , and maybe helps a little to push the backlog (were all of us are in) back

I also thought it wasn't fair because my partner and I live overseas (in Canada), but our case wasn't auto-expedited since we applied in Oct, 2013.

Then, I realized that life isn't fair (so is immigration) so I had a cocktail and got over it.

Alcohol has become my best (the only?) friend since the immigration process has begun!

I have a similar question. My son is USC, so i put "no" for him.

My daughter is born Canadian immigrating with me, but she has a separate petition. SHould i write "yes" for her in my DS-260 and "yes" for my in her DS260?
