NVC Filers - November 2013

[jmack2743 7]

Hi guys, I'm not at NVC stage yet but do have a question:

For the DS-261 (see http://s128.photobucket.com/user/smurf47/media/Immigration/DS-261%20screenshots/6b.jpg.html?sort=6&o=4),

can someone confirm the top 3 lines are meant for the beneficiary's information?

Thanks[/quote

The top 3 line is the principal applicant and the agent lines would be the person spousing the applicant or whoever you want.

Checklists:

Hi! Got checklists today! Weekend ruined! Have a few questions as I decide how to go about it.

My wife (petitioner) got check list for the following:

Petitioner i-864: You must submit the following financial evidence

[x] A written statement indicating why you did not file ___2012_ Federal income

tax returns.

[x] ______2012_____________________________ IRS tax schedules.

[x] _______2012____________________________ Federal income tax returns, IRS printout, or Letter 1722 issued by

the IRS.

I guess the letter my wife wrote to explain why she hasnt filed (as shes attending college & is dependant on parents) was not clear enough. It did not have exact years mentioned, just that the past 5 years she has been in med school and did not have to file taxes as she is dependant on parents. Her name was clearly mentioned as dependant on father (joint sponsors) 1040 tax return forms which were also sent in AOS.

Joint Sponsor i-864: This is petitioner's father.

[x] Items 13.a.1. The income you enter must match the total (gross) income reported on your most recent Federal

income tax return. If you filed Form 1040EZ, use the adjusted gross income instead.

We attached the joint-sponsors 1040, I did not think that's different from 1040EZ - so we just used adjusted gross income which was $2,000 off from Total Income for the year 2012. 2011 and 2010 were exactly the same. I guess we should use the TOTAL INCOME from this form, right?

There was a single bar-code under everything else, so that means everything else is good in AOS?

BENEFICIARY CHECKLIST:

I got a checklist for my visa application! Asking me to submit proof of my eligibility as a Canadian citizenship. I did scan the profile page of my Canadian passport, I guess that's not sufficient? Should I scan it and send it again, or maybe attach my citizenship card as well? health card? I dont know what else..I was born in England & had British birth cert attached, maybe that's why this came up.

When sending documents back (through EP), do we send ONLY the items they have checklisted, it says fill a new i864 form, but do we send the supporting documents with it also? Your tips and guidance will be appreciated.

Thanks for your help.

Regards

Ah I wonder how long it will take them to just receive it and then giving us case number.

The NOA2 says wait 30 days. The scuttlebutt around here is to wait one week then start calling them a few times per week.

Yay!!! Got my case number .... Now i still didnot received any email saying my case number or invoice number or what are next steps?

And they said they will send me next steps in my email within 10-20 business days so what should i do now? Wait for email or what to do ?

For the joint sponsor's income question, your sponsor might want to request&check the tax transcript in case IRS corrected something for your AGI (calling IRS might be faster since it's not sent instantaneously). We got a checklist for that and was perplexed; NVC reps had nothing to offer other than a supervisor review, so we just called IRS. They're known to have knowledgeable reps, who could look up the numbers and verify that IRS had to correct a calculation error. Your sponsor will need to make the call to IRS.

Citizenship card would be helpful. I also put down rationales for every item included in the packet on the cover letter just in case they got confused. (e.g., "Certified Family Register of beneficiary (with attested translation) as supporting document proving date and place of birth, and copy" and "Certificate of Naturalization as a German Citizen of beneficiary (with attested translation) as proof of beneficiary’s German citizenship, and copy")

When we resent the new i-864 form, we only sent that in (b/c that was all they requested in the RFE). I don't think you need to resend any documentation that was not requested, since they have your documents on file.

Hi to everyone,

I have a question hopefuly you can answer it...
Our adress here in Belgium changed a little bit before we got approved and we told our lawyer about it. He said that our adress being changed wasn't a problem right now. But today he told us that within a month we should get an mail at our adress in belgium from the NVC. So if they send it to our old adress we obviously aren't going to get it. Is there a way for us to fix the problem ? Cause I feel like our lawyer is probably wrong about it.

hey guys,

as usual i got another question. My husband, the petitioner, he has never filed taxes first he is 20 years old 2nd he worked in brazil since he was 18 he earned very little like less than 500 dollars a month we didnt think that they would want taxes from that.. anyways now he works in the US for the last 10 months and we got a joint sponsor he supposely earns good money since his home is worth almost 1 million (5 years ago at least)... will my husband not having any tax transcript from the last 3 years like the NVC asks for will that be a problem? how do we solve it?
