NVC Filers - January 2014

Also just to note: Sometimes the best information is found in your own regional forum. Each country does things differently so Saylin and the rest of us have learned those differences but I bet there are veterans from each region that can help you out as well if it's country specific. Best of luck to everyone!

As long as you give over both email addresses to an operator at NVC, you'll receive all correspondence (including the interview letter) by email. Not sure where you read about not relying on receiving the interview letter as that's not true...

I think I remember reading a couple of times in the UK regional forum that people have missed their interviews entirely because they weren't receiving their letters in a timely fashion, or at all. I read a lot here so I might have imagined it >.<

Was it maybe for K1 applicants? They actually receive the interview letters directly from the embassy and by snail mail, so that may have been the cause of not receiving letters. But for IR-1/CR-1 applicants, the interview is scheduled by NVC and as long as email addresses were given over, then the interview letter is sent by email.

I went to Robinsons cyber gate. Security guard told me it's temporarily closed. He advised me to go to Capitol nbi main office. Before getting NBI we need to ask for an appointment first. They will schedule us. This is just so frustrating! Ugh.

I'm gonna go to Capitol NBI Main Office on Monday and ask for an appointment hopefully they won't schedule me on March because it's gonna be frustrating.I will let you know next week. .

H,i Everyone,

I have two questions that i hope the forum can answer. First, concerning the proof of income, how important is the letter of employment ? I've worked for the same employer for 7 years and am including 3 years w2s, 3 years tax returns and 6 months pay stubs. My employer wrote a letter but really screwed it up (he knew best) and would rather not send it if not needed.

The second question concerns the IV package required documents. Are all these beneficiary documents or is the petitioner required to send their birth certificate, divorce decrees, etc. ?

Thanks. ,

Yes, K-1 applicants. I only realised recently that interviews are assigned differently to K-1s than CR-1s but it's still unacceptable, even if it doesn't affect me. I asked over on the UK regional forum what happens in this instance. Sure, they get their interview date over the phone from the DOS, but they still don't have their letter to actually be admitted into the embassy, right? So either way they would miss their interview!

The Immigrant Visa package (IV package) only contains the beneficiary's documents.

The letter isn't required. We didn't send one. Have you tried getting a tax return transcript so that you don't have to send the entire tax returns? You can go to an IRS office and walk out with what's required same day.

you = I-864

father = I-864

your mother if she works and files jointly with your father = I-864a

/edit note, you'd think I'd learn to spell check before posting by now. LOL

Am i on the right track?

I am about to start my first job here in USA this monday and im just waiting to access the aos fee to pay for it. So in the following week il be sending the AOS on NVC. Im going to have a joint sponsor too but for me will be the letter from the employer and explanation why i was not required to file tax from previous years will do for my AOS?

Can you explain why the father wouldn't fill out an I-864a (rather than the I-864) if he is a household member with the petitioner?
