NVC FILERS - FOR October - 2010

[TtownDude 1]

Hey JD, be careful what you wish for It took you this long to find out that your AOS was entered in to their system.

Don't rush to do anything without doing your home work...my 2 cents here

JD, please read all the posts in this page and the previous for all the details.

My push was:

1) Our USC child is waiting in India and she needs better medical care in the U.S

2) My wife wants to start her Ph.D program in the U.S soon

3) Also, there are H1N1 fever in my area and I fear my family would not be affected and want to bring them here soon

To all:

There are benefits and pitfalls in both the cases.

1) Consulate does final review and schedules interview

Benefit - You literally skips the time taken at NVC for review (savings could be few weeks to a month time)

Pitfall - If AOS or IV package has any issues, AP is for sure and it will be cleared in few weeks to months

2) NVC does final review and schedules interview

Benefit - Reduces the chances of AP at Consulate. But few people had AP even after NVC's successful completion

Pitfall - Basic loss of few weeks. If RFE comes another few more weeks time loss

I agree with svenkatc.

Mine too, think we shot ourselves in the foot? lol

Richi,

Yours is little different. You have not paid any fee and not submitted any documents to NVC and bypassed the NVC totally.

In my case, I have completed everything except the "final review".

Guys! Guys! Guys! When you get married the second time, you can use all these clever steps that you learned by yourself and from Loto. For now, there's not much else you can do. Just ride the NVC horse as it comes.

It is like betting in the Casino, IS

Murphy will follow us all the time until we are done the successful interview

Loto

My advice to all.

If you are not confident on these craps and not really urging for the interview, please follow the normal and safe path.

Can I please get some AOS help.

Just filled out the 864ez with CAPS all the way thru.

Questions 1. I want to clarify if I am answer questions 16 correctly. I had claimed my mother last two years on my taxes as my dependent.

so part a. = 2 (myself + spouse)

b. = 1 ( spouse)

c = N/A

d. = N/A

e. = 1 (Aunt)

So then f. = 4

Did I do this correct. ??

Question 2. Do I need to write N/A with a pen for all questions that do any apply to me. Such as A number and SS # four spouse.

Question 3. Yes I tried to be smart and did the w7 for 09, they kept asking for ID, and the taxes are still in process I went to IRS today, and they gave me 09 transcripts for extensions that shows that I have extension plus reported income for 09. I called NVC, and they said better to send it in with extension, and if they ask for 09 later thru RFE then I can send it in. I am going to take a chance and send in extension transcript for 09 along with W2 and paycheck stubs. So for question 19, should I check the box that says taxes from the last three years, and include 09 extension, 08 and 07 taxes, or not check it ? I will be attaching a letter with explanation.

Question 4. Directions say that I then need to scan in the form and email it in, Do I need to scan the tax transcripts and supporting documents also or just 864ez.

Looking forward to your reply - I really want to get it out tomorrow.

Thanks

You will qualify I-864 if you meet all the 3 below points.

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).

Since your mother is dependent, she must be included.

b will be 0 since you already added your wife in a. (I know this form is bit confusing)

e. Why do you want to add your aunt?

c and d, don't put N/A. Enter 0.

Question 2. Do I need to write N/A with a pen for all questions that do any apply to me. Such as A number and SS # four spouse.

YES

Question 3.

Sounds good.

That's not applicable to you. You need to mail the AOS package to NVC with the barcode cover sheet.

Looking forward to your reply - I really want to get it out tomorrow.

Thanks

Based on above details, I feel you should use I-864.

1. You're counting your spouse twice. That's wrong. Basically, it's your and your wife and your aunt. That's 3 people. Not 4. Since your mother is dependent, she must be included.

B will be 0 since you already added your wife in A. I know this form is bit confusing. Add 1 if your aunt is dependent on you on E. C and D, don't put N/A. Enter 0.

2. You shouldn't leave blank fields. So do put in N/A. You can type it in before you print. Or you can write N/A.

3. You're the boss. Sounds good.

4. What are you talking about? You can't email I864EZ. Unless things have changed dramatically since two weeks ago. This doesn't apply to you. You need to mail the AOS package with the bar-coded cover-sheet.

SO I received IV package via email today. It comes with the cover sheet that says you must print and return it. If it is not returned with that cover sheet that it could delay processing. Is this true? I mailed our IV packages yesterday with the cover sheet from the payment portal

No. You are fine the one from the payment portal.

Why didn't you opt for Electronic Processing?

We are not eligible for electronic processing. I am actually not even doing CR1. My husband came with CR1 (DCF) in 2006 and now that he is a citizen we are applying for his parents(IR-5). I just come to this forum because you all (especially you) give great information .
