NVC Filers - December 2013

[mmkextreme1 4]

No problem!

Hey sorry, one last question (hopefully)

If I have a joint sponsor, and if the joint sponsor and me have each filled out a separate I-864. Does the joint sponsor need to fill out an I-864A (he is married, him and his wife file together, but he makes enough on his own to sponsor)?

I recently mailed my amended 2012 tax return (changed to appropriate filing status) to the IRS....now I'm confused as to whether I will receive any correspondence form them in regards to it or how I will know it has been accepted. And if everything works out ok with it, what will I include in the I-864...the tax transcript PLUS the X form I submitted for the amend? Should I also have my husband carry the amendment to the interview? Or do I just order a new transcript and the amendment will be reflected there?

Amended tax returns generally take 1-3 months before it is processed and reflected on the transcript. You won't receive any confirmation from the IRS.

Isn't a new 1040 (page 1 and page 2) generated with the correct figures when you amend the return. Either way your income shouldn't change with just the status change (single to MFJ).

Yes you should send a copy of the amendment/transcript for the interview.

my wife I-130 was approved 12/9 from the CSC office, i still didnt hear anything yet, or got anything in the mail.

anybody got approved and didnt hear anything from NVC?

Thank you!

I am a USC, but I had an A number at one point..on the I-864, where it says country of citizenship I put USA...but it then asks for an A number..should I still include it?

You will find the A-# on your Certificate of Naturalization.

Mine was approved on 12/10 and haven't heard anything either. However, this is normal. NVC says to wait atleast 8 weeks before expecting anything.

My I-130 was approved on 12/23 and was sent to NVC on 12/27.. I called this morning to find out whether a case number has been assigned and nothing yet, on average how long does it take.. I know NVC reps state 8 weeks, but anyone else have a shorter time frame?

Called NVC earlier and found out that my case is complete and interview date set for 13 Feb!

Still waiting for a confirmation e-mail from them though.

Approved 12/11. Nothing yet but I've seen people get #'s in about 4 weeks. Good luck to you!

[STACEY&MISHO 103]

Ps. Get your AOS and IV packets ready to go so when you get the # you can send it immediately. Mine are all set and waiting.

Thanks. I called them last Thursday and they said the generic "not reviewed yet, give us 30 days from the time your case is entered into the system.." line. They entered my checklist documents in the system on 12/12/13 so I knew it would be reviewed around now. I called again today and the lady on the phone said your case is completed and your interview is scheduled for 13 Feb at 10 AM (yes - she even told me the time).

Thanks dwheels. I think it has something to do with going through EP (or Canada). When my NOA2 was received, my case arrived in NVC and case # assigned on the exact same date also.

Hey sorry, one last question (hopefully)

If I have a joint sponsor, and if the joint sponsor and me have each filled out a separate I-864. Does the joint sponsor need to fill out an I-864A (he is married, him and his wife file together, but he makes enough on his own to sponsor)?

This depends. Does he file his taxes Married Filing Jointly with his wife? Does he want to send an entire tax return including w2 and all schedules or a tax return transcript? If he'd rather just send the double sided one piece of paper for the tax transcript and he files Married Filing Jointly, then his wife should sign a completed I-864a if she works. This is because on the tax return transcript it will combine their income. However, if she doesn't work, including a copy of his w2 as well will prove she doesn't work and an I-864a isn't needed. Also remember a joint sponsor needs to prove current income so they also need to include a) proof of citizenship or LPR status and b) paystubs or employer letter showing current ongoing income or c)however else the person

Congrats on the interview date!!! Ignore the time, show up early, first come first serve at the Montreal consulate. LOL

My case arrived at NVC a good 2 weeks before I got the case number btw... You were just lucky

Yes NVC will tell you to wait for 6-8 weeks, but mine was only 4 weeks. Nov 20 noa2 and dec 21 case number. Either way, just keep on inquiring NVC about this.
