I am not familiar with the Bangla Nikahnama and only have one question. Are all of these documents in English? If not then is the English Document you listed a translation of the other? As you know translations are required for any document being submitted that are not in English. If it is in fact a translation then you might want to identify it as such.

Everything is in English. In Bangladesh, you can opt to have all official documents in English or Bangla or both. Obviously the Bangla Nikahnama is in Bangla. But we also got English Nikahnama. Nikahnama is basically a marriage certificate. One difference is that all Muslim grooms are required to give some valueable to the bride. Usually it's money and/or gold. This document will have the amount in this. Since most Bangladeshis are Muslims, this certificate holds more sway than the secular marriage certificate. Though both are equal since both secular and religious courts in Bangladesh have pretty much the same power when it comes to personal, civil issues.

Going by Loto's timeline, my AOS package should be entered into the system today. I called NVC's AVRS. Doesn't say it's in the system yet. Maybe by later in the day. Loto, make some ominous prediction for me. Will you?

While I don't really fall in this category, I have been following this forum since we received the NOA2 for my inlaws. I have gotten so much useful information here. Thanks for that. I do have a question. I am just waiting for my paid status to send off IV package. I just realized that I do nto have the original or the certified copy of military service, I only have a copy. Here is my question, if I send the package with the copy will I automatically get an RFE. Would it be better to send it like I have it and send the original in a week when I receive it? or to wait and send it ALL together? Is it possible that they would just ask for the original to be taken to the interview in Juarez?

thanks for your advice

You need original/certified copy plus a photocopy of military certificate. Otherwise, NVC may issue RFE to submit it. I think, you can wait, get it and sent it together.

Unforunately I have not heard a thing from my wife. :angry: I just dont get it. :( I will have to have a chat with her once she surfaces and tell her any news is better than no news. :devil: I for the life of me cant understand why she has not contacted me. I dont want to guess but I find myself doing just that.

Thanks for the uplifting comment, I think... Oh she will not want to see the look on my face...

It's the invoice # for your AOS/IV fee bills. It will be needed to pay those bills online once NVC invoices them.

No news still for an interview date :devil:

You may use Form I-864EZ IF ALL the following conditions apply:

1. You are the person who filed or is filing the Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, for a relative being sponsored;

2. The relative you are sponsoring is the only person listed on the Form I-130 petition;

3. The income you are using to qualify is based entirely on your salary or pension and is shown on one or more Forms W-2 provided by your employer(s) or former employer(s).

Malvika,

I am waiting on the IV fee too. It has cleared my bank yesterday. Looks like it takes 2 business days for it to appear "PAID", So sometime today we should see it "PAID".

have been checking frequently and hope to rush the IV packet once it is "PAID".
