NVC April 2010 Edition!

[Cheyemo 8]

Just spoke to an NVC operator who said my RFE paper is under review.... THANK GOD!

I was so worried it would be 2 weeks before they even opened it (like our 230 package)!

I have been praying for a June interview (or even July would be ok) if we could just get the CC before May 7!

At least now I feel like there is a chance!

So they took 2 weeks to open your DS230 paperwork? That does NOT make me feel good!

Guys.... I have a stupid question.

At the last minute, my joint sponsor's having cold feet and marital issues. For the sanity of all involved, she'd rather not sponsor if there is an alternative, but is willing to if there is no other option.

So we're working up the forms for my mom to be joint sponsor. We didn't do this from the beginning because it's tricky.

Situation:

My mom and I live together in her house. We both pay household bills, but it's not specific. I don't pay rent to her.

2008 tax status was MFJ, still legally married and maintaining a residence with The Ex for various reasons despite the fact that our marital relationship had been over for a few years (Long Story). Mid 2009 saw our divorce finalized and my subsequent marriage to Husby. Mid 2009 also saw The Ex and I move to different residences. Like I said, I'm with my mom. My son is with me.

2009 taxes were HOH with one dependant because I provided (much) over half of the support for my son even though we are living with my mom and Husby wasn't with us for the last 6 months of the year. My mom's 2009 filing status is single with no dependants. Essentially, there are two distinct households at the same residence.

Stupid Question: Does my mom need I-864 or I-864A? I'm thinking I-864 because our taxes don't intermingle at all. It's only the address that's the same. Or is a shared residence alone enough to make one a "household member"? Or... do we have the option to take our pick in which form to use?

See? It's tricky. If done correctly, Husby will be here soon. If screwed up, it's either going to cause 221g request for the right form or it's lying on a government document. Either way, Husby would be in for a long wait.

yeah i THINK if you live at the same address you can do I-864A. check out the I-864A instructions. see if it says the only requirement is that you live at the same address. I don't think it means actual "household" in terms of taxes etc.

look into the instructions! but i think A is prolly okay.

I believe this is functioning as the official June 2010 Interviews thread.

Aw, lady, I'm so happy for you!

[TheBears 9]

Ahhhhhh!!! JULISSA!!!!!!! That's so wonderful! Thanks be to God!

Ahhh! I'm literally bouncing up and down right now. Good thing I have a private office. hehehe.

It's such a perfect date for you, too. Congratulations!

..........

Sachi, MPS, Tokyo, thank you for the advice. I'm preparing both and will instruct Husby to submit the A first, with the normal one as a backup. He's so gonna to me if I keep sending him papers.

Sassy! I see you lurking! Tell me you have good news, too.

[TatyanaR 6]

Y'know..... Eff NVC.

Bangkok scheduling simply does not take this long. You see K1s zipping by all over the place, but here's us and our CR1 being forgotten about. #######! K1s with their immense potential for abuse/fraud. Now, fraud can happen anywhere and Bangkok is generally not a high fraud embassy. But at the same time, I've heard a 7 year old girl answer "To marry a white man and move to America" for what she wanted to do when she grew up. What?!

We did CR1. We got married. Husby is leaving a great legal practice with a pretty much guaranteed future as a judge (read: If he stays and keeps working there for another 10 years, he'll be rolling in it) to come and do who knows what here with me and my son because he loves us. Where is the risk of fraud in that? He could be sitting cushy for the 10 years all the way up until he makes judge and then be quite well off from there. There's no monetary incentive to come here. There's no fraud, nothing sketchy. It's almost like he's losing by coming here. If anything, Thai immigration has more cause to suspect me of overstaying the 30-day VWP or jumping my 3-month tourist visa or 6-month resident visa. Especially with his career and my language skills, we'd be able to make a life instead of a giant vacation.

And yet, here we are lagging behind. For what?! For someone to look at the pictures submitted with the I-130 or the pretty colors and design on the marriage certificate? Take the pictures! Heck, take the MC! Just hand over an interview date and a "Congratulations, sir, your visa has been approved." We promise to follow the rules. Argh!

Okay... I feel a little better. Julissa, hon, I think you and I are going to get interviews assigned on the same day. Tomorrow. But I'm not calling again until Friday night. The girl I talked to was so rude! Don't employers usually conduct a personality test/screening? Jeez!

Sorry to hear that! USCIS/NVS they are all screwed up! Best of luck to you & really hope you hear some GREAT news soon!!!! You & Julissa so deserve it!!!!
