NVC FILERS - FOR October - 2010

[kruz_patz 22]

Comments above.

Yep, I understand but as I have already sent the same for my sister-in-law's case and NVC finished the case without any delay or RFE's and issued the interview letter. Also, I am explaining the complete reason in the cover letter as to why we are submitting police clearance as of now, and why not passport clearance...? And I am just including NOTARIZED copy of govt. gazzatted officer ... just to be on safe side. That's the same thing I did in my sister-in-law's case.

For ahmedabad, India......I guess they do understand as passport office doesn't issue PCC until they see's interview letter or A checklist letter from NVC regarding pcc. So NVC usually sends out interview letter, and asks us to submit pcc at the time of interview.

I don't know if I should include citizenship certificate of my spouse, as it never says any where on NVC processing steps on NVC website. I will take it to the interview. Never send it for sister-in-law's case either.

For I-864, I am including this to show sufficient fund. As one can also use asset in savings account. So to show the proof I am including those.

Thanks for Daa tips......)

Oh, I got it.

If regular income is sufficient to overcome the poverty line, asset section is optional.

If you truly need cash assets, make sure the computations are shown in the I-864 and a brief description of yer personal computation in the coverletter. If you truly not need cash assets, IMO, this 'bank info' isn't needed.

For sister-in-law's case, the income was not sufficient enough, so we only included bank info, which I mentioned above......and they never asked for anything else......I guess they just want to see the bank account details. That's all.

What is the computation, the amount that is shown in recent bank statement is the amount we need to mention.....is there anything else ? ? ? I mean, I don't know how the commputation should be prepared ?

Yeah, but my spouse sponsered their parents in 2009, although now they have GC and works and earns money. But just to be on safe side.....including this. Although, the form she used to sponsor them was different, as they were on DV lottery visa.

If you need cash assets, the computation is like this:

Say your household is 2. So, 125% poverty line threshold is $18,212.

The below is the example and I know your wife is USC (because USC petitioner's 33.33% asset would be considered, unlike LPR petitioners)

Yearly Income of the petitioner: $15,000

Bank deposit amount: $15,000 (1/3rd of it - $5,000)

Total income: $20,000

NVC and/or CO will do this work out in I-864, so it may not be needed.

Loto

If your wife has sponsored her both parents, household size will become 4.

kruz,

Now if you (beneficiary) include your cash asset, one fifth of it will be considered in the computation.

oh wow - yer usc spouse MUST include the parents on the I-864 filed for you. There's a spot there for it. If she sponsered other relatives (yer sister in law?) then she must be added also.

Rework the computations, see where it puts her?

Just a comment here. I dont know who the Sponsor is but in the USCIS documents they did ask for naturalization records if not US born... I remember this cause I was not born in the US and didn't have any Naturalization Papers. Which made me a little nervous. So if she is the sponsor I would have them available at the interview just incase.

Ya, I know small amount about the 2 PCCs for India -

my point on the one that yer including -

is that it's a notarized copy - not the original, and not a certified copy.

IF (examine this again) it's notarized by SOME OTHER OFFICE, IE - NOT a STAMP/SEAL from the issuing office -

and SINCE it's a COPY of the original (versus a certified copy from the issuing authority) with a notary stamp (not a stamp from the police office)

then I'm not certain NVC will accept it.

Matt has been calling NVC for 3 days now, has not once gotten through to a person but has got to the AVR. According to the recording, they have no received our case yet, therefore no case number. I guess we'll keep trying to get finally be able to talk to someone.

Question: Does the petitioner have to be the one that makes the call? Or can I also be trying to get through to an actual person?

Yeah, but now her parents doesn't stay with her. They lives with their son in a different state, and also earns monthly. Also, When she and her brother sponsored their parents.......they didn't have to file I-864.......instead they have to use I-134. So now in Form I-864 it asks if you have sponsored anyone and filed I-864...then mention.....

[Darnell 8,478]

sorry, I assumed an I-864 was filed on the parents. Good lord, they got in with an I-134? How very strange.

OK - the general guideline is - anyone the petitioner has sponsered in the last 10 years, with a prior I-864, must include them on any current I-864.

[kruz_patz 22]

And that's what we sent last month and it was accepted by NVC...believe me...lol...I know what you are trying to say.....and I do understand thoroughly.....but because we are also mentioning it under cover letter........and because police department only gave one original and that has to be submitted with application of passport clearance certificate.
