Also- if he makes 14,950 on 2008 , and the minimum is 14,570 and as i understood till april 14 we dont need to do taxes of 2009 yet, right? but he works just part time and his checks at the moment not big, but he works on possition with tips and taxes not counting from it, should we be fine without co-sponsor? should we risk or just better try to find somebody somehow? Thank you for your help.

CAN SOMEBODY HELP US...... WE GOT OR N0A2 JANUARY 26 IT HAVE BEEN ALMOST 4 WEEK SINCE THAT AND NVC DOESNT HAVE OUR CASE AND USCIS DONT HAVE AND ANSWER. ..........WHAT SHOULD WE SO.....

u think we should do that, my bf want to wait another week, cuz nvc told him could take 90 days ................thats crazy but its take 90 days we will need an extention ohh my good... thats to much time......why why why

Yeah, I got the "wait 90 days" line from the person at NVC one day and then the next day my paperwork had been processed at NVC and was onto the consulate. Has your fiance' received a letter from NVC? Mine was in a pretty plain envelope. It came about 2 weeks after my NOA2 at CSC. If he hasn't gotten that, I would definitely be calling USCIS to determine when the package was sent to the National Visa Center. The 90 days is how long the National Visa Center has to process it once the package arrives, not how long it takes to get from California to the National Visa Center.

Have you checked with others that are going through the same Lithuanian consulate as you? I would ask this question in the regional forum for Europe and see what people from Lithuania have to say. Every consulate is so different. I wouldn't want to find you get the interview and the Consulate Officer tells you the money isn't enough.

My fiance's packet 3 materials are as of 7:09 a.m. this morning "out for delivery" in Montreal. Closer, closer, closer. Make my dreams come true Montreal!

My thoughts exactly. However, since there has been no "official" ruling yet, I'm kind of wondering if there is some unscrupulous consulates out there that might try and take advantage of this period of uncertainty ...

Congrats to Jess and Liberty on those NOA2s!! CSC isn't doing too bad

Unfortunately American Consulate in Moscow started charging people more and those guys cannot even issue proper notice,they just take pens and charge everything manually on official letters they sent to applicants.So retarded!

That is rude and I would think it would be extortion as well. If it isn't typed in the letter or some official announcement of the increase in fees, then our fiance'/fiancees should have to pay this price that nearly tripled from what we expected. I am still counting on paying $131 when my fiance' interviews in Montreal (whenever he gets a date...) but we are preparing for $350 just in case.

Sorry guys, I moved into our new house last weekend and proceeded to get really sick (bronchitis) and haven't been around much. And John's mom had a massive stroke Wednesday evening. Please keep her in your thoughts/prayers/whatever you do. It doesn't look too good.

keydymenro: As far as the NVC saying that they don't have your case, are you actually speaking to a person or trying through the automated system? If you are trying the automated system, they do not log K-1's into that. You have to actually speak with a person. And when you are speaking with a person at NVC, use the magic words "is my case in AP (administrative processing)?"

krili - I believe that you get to include tips and such as income, but I think that it had to have been reported to the IRS as income, therefore be included in the tips section of his W-2. Yes, he has until April 15th to file his 2009 income tax, but I'm sure that the consulate may ask for his 2009 W-2's, as it is required for all employers to have them mailed out by January 31st of each year (actually this year it was Feb 1st). I agree with asking this same question in the portal for Lithuania.

Congrats to all the NOA 2's and packets received and returned, interviews scheduled and etc.

I'm going back to bed

MY PACKET 3 HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY DELIVERED TO MONTREAL! YEAH! One step closer to an interview!

[Jessica&Carl 1]

My fiance's address has changed since we filed, and I'm freaking out. I can't figure out how or where to go or who to call to change it and it's already been a few weeks since we got our NOA2 I'm afraid it's too late and it will go to the wrong address. Help!!!

Seems like there was a notice in the letter from the NVC that said what to do if an addressed changed. Did you get that letter let? I would suggest checking it out because the Department of State is who needs to get the right address now so he gets all the forms his consulate will be sending him.
