IR-5 Timeline

If you're sending transcripts that you got form IRS directly, you don't need W2s. If you're sending photocopies, like you file online and print them out, then you do. I believe you need to send 1099s either way.

Just wondering .... will I be getting a text or case update that USCIS has sent the case/file to NVC? My case case got approved on Jan 28 and so far no new update. I am looking at your time line and it seems like 2 days after the case got approved your file was transferred to NVC. I thought maybe I should ask what to expect or perhaps should I just give another 2 weeks or so anyways and then check or call for any new update. Thank you.

I got a text and an email every time USCIS touched my file. But I hear it differs case by case.

Do I need to send a print out of the completed DS-260 to nvc?

Do I need to send a print out of the completed DS-260 to nvc?

i found the answer on the getting started page of the DS-260

1. We recommend that you print or email the confirmation page for your records before you exit the application. Do not mail the confirmation page to NVC. You should bring your confirmation page with you to your visa interview.
2. Once you have submitted the DS-260 forms for you and your accompanying family members, you must then submit your required civil documents, photographs and embassy-specific documents to the NVC.

Hi,

According to another forum, only TSC and NSC notifies about the case update. CSC does not notify about transfer to NVC. However, you can call NVC after a week and ask them if they received your case.

I remember you said that you also don't work so your husband is the joint sponsor. I provided my husband birth certificate as he is born in the US and our marriage certificate.

The Police Certificate is different from NBI Clearance and I think, you need that one too. I read somewhere in the instructions that the Police Certificate is obtain in another country where the applicants have lived for atleast 6 months. I had to get one when I lived in Holland for 1 year when we applied for K-1 (fiancee visa).

I also submitted a copy of Marriage Certificate of my parents.

I'm using my husband as a household member and only need his w2, letter of employment and tax return since we filed jointly. Per the website only police cert for the applicant is required (same as when i did mine a couple years ago) my mother or MIL has never been married so thats easy. I sent my marriage certificate to show my name change and relationship to hubby.

Keeping my fingers cross that they wont request anything else.

oh ok...

Maybe because we have different countries so we differ in the requirements a little bit. Same here, crossing fingers .

That explains and thank you. I was thinking as to why haven't I received any other update from CSC about sending the case to NVC. And yeah I think I will wait for about a week or so and then call NVC.

You mean in terms of supporting documents? What did you send?

[Ilarrotta 2]

Well, I forgot about a cover page with the list of documents being sent in the packages, also with all the things pertaining the I-864 I dont know if I wrote the correct numbers.. but oh well, just wait I guess.

I sent them more than a week ago.. should I call to find out if they are working on them?
