How a Petition Is Processed for I-130 Visas: (Spouse)
Step 1: The Family member in the U.S. (i.e., the petitioner) files an immigrant visa petition (Form I-130) for a family member living in Haiti (i.e., the beneficiary). The immigrant visa petition is filed in the United States at the office of the USCIS having jurisdiction over the petitioner's place of residence. Documents demonstrating the family relationship generally must accompany the petition (e.g., birth or marriage certificates).
Step 2: The USCIS examines the petition and approves or denies the petition. An approved petition does NOT guarantee the beneficiary an immigrant visa. An approved petition may move forward to the next stage of the process.
Step 3: The USCIS forwards the approved petition to the National Visa Center (NVC) in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, where the State Department's immigrant visa process begins. Since Congress limits the number of immigrant visas that can be issued each year to certain family members, some immigrant visa petitions will be held at the NVC for several months or several years. Petitions filed on behalf of American citizens for brothers and sisters who are nationals of other countries are held by the NVC for approximately ten years before they can proceed to the next step.
Step 4: When there is an immediate visa available or likely to be available within the next nine months, the NVC sends a letter, including the Choice of Agent and Address Form (DS-3032) to almost all of the applicants for immigrant visas. That form permits the applicant to name an agent to receive correspondence from the NVC. The applicant must complete and sign the DS-3032 and return it to the NVC before processing can continue. At the same time, the NVC sends to the petitioner the affidavit of support Fee Bill ($65.00 per case). Upon receipt of the AOS fee, the NVC will send the Affidavit of Support (I-864) forms and further instructions.
Step 5: Once the agent form is received, the NVC sends the Immigrant Visa Fee Bill ($335.00 per applicant) to the selected agent. When the fee is received, the NVC sends the Immigrant Visa application (form DS-230 part 1) along with further instructions.
Step 6: The NVC reviews all submitted documents for completion. If the petitioner has complied with all the requirements, the complete file is transferred to the Immigrant Visa Unit in Port-au-Prince. At this point, the applicant is scheduled for an interview with a consular officer as soon as the workload permits in the order in which they receive the files. An appointment letter and instructions for a medical examination is mailed to the addresses on record.
Step 7: On the day of the interview, the beneficiary reports to the Consular Section of the Embassy. The case is adjudicated by a Consular Officer who interviews the beneficiary and reviews all of the documents to ensure that the relevant family relationship is valid, that at least one sponsor who completed an affidavit of support earns sufficient income to meet the Federal poverty guidelines, and that the beneficiary's medical report is consistent with standards of health for immigrants.
Step 8: If all of the documents are in order and the petition is found to be valid, an immigrant visa will be issued to the beneficiary on the day of the interview. If the file is incomplete, the beneficiary will be provided with a letter that explains what additional documentation is required before an immigrant visa can be issued; these documents can be mailed or delivered to the Consular Section Monday through Friday between 7:30 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. A Consular Officer will then reconsider the case and the beneficiary will be informed by mail whether he or she qualifies for an immigrant visa.
Step 9: Immigrant visas typically are valid for a period of six months, although this period may be less for certain applicants who have extenuating circumstances. Beneficiaries must travel to the United States while their immigrant visas are valid.
Additional Evidence of Relationships
Parent/Child or Sibling: Primary evidence of the validity of a parent-child or sibling relationship may be supplemented with old photographs of the child and parent together, old letters with postmarked envelopes, school and medical records, money transfer receipts, and any other document showing an ongoing parental relationship. The presentation of supplemental documents at the time of the interview is particularly important in cases where the applicant's birth was not registered in the National Archives soon after he or she was born. If the evidence is inconclusive, the Consular Officer may recommend that the beneficiary and the petitioner consider having a DNA test to scientifically prove the validity of a family-based petition.
Spouses: A combination of the following documents may act as satisfactory proof of a legitimate marriage: photos of the wedding and the couple together, past correspondence exchanged between the petitioner and the beneficiary, joint bank or credit card accounts, joint ownership of property, life insurance policy, retirement plan naming the beneficiary, birth certificates of any children the couple have together, photocopies of any and all passports the petitioner has used since he has been married (to show the frequency of travel to Haiti), and telephone bills showing telephone calls made to each other.
Marital: If the petitioner is a spouse, the applicant is welcome to present additional evidence to demonstrate that the marriage was not contracted solely for the purpose of securing the benefits of immigration. Such evidence may include correspondence by mail or telephone bills, joint bank account statements, combined credit card accounts, contracts for joint ownership of property, medical or life insurance policies, or birth certificates from the National Archives for children born of the marriage. |
