Does anyone know what exact checks are done during the i130? I heard crminal checks, if so why do I need

a police certificate? ( I have nothing to hide it's just extra £££)

Also I understand I can't use my new DBS (CRB) enhanced check, it has to be a certain department issued certificate. Is the information on a DBS and a ACPO Policer certificate not the same?

Is there a mistake in the instructions for the I864a regarding the section 2 for the sponsor?

It refers to using information off the I864 number 8 and number 9, which I don't see on the I864.

I ignored the instructions on that and completed what the form requests, but I find it hard to believe that such an oversight can occur and wonder why that mistake doesn't get corrected? I may have to dig on the USCIS website and see if there is a place to report this mistake.

You and me both... The delay at NVC is increasingly becoming unbearable and I know it's no fault of theirs cos USCIS just picked up the pace of approvals energy.gif . Also I wish spring was here with no cold weather and snow digging whistling.gif

The criminal checks with the petition are done for the USA. They cannot check other country's databases, only the FBI and Interpol. Most of the checks during the petition are done on the petitioner, not the beneficiary.

I don't know much about UK record checks. You may want to ask in your regional forum.

Hey Guys, checking in here........

I got my case approved from on 7th Feb ( USCIS says that your case was approved), however on 6th Feb itself, USCIS case status was that my application was sent to NVC for visa processing (it was from Nebraska service centre). It waited for entire feb month to get a case number but till now no luck with that.

I have got no mails regarding acceptance of the case at the NVC or assigning a case number. (I got hard copy of NOA2 on 11 Feb).

Is it really taking so much time for NVC to issue a case number??? Should i go back to USCIS and ask them if they have sent my application to NVC or not? OR should i call NVC guys if they have received my application.

I called NVC several times a week after NOA2 to find out if and when they received our case file. For me calling in the evenings (around 7 pm California) worked best. I suggest you call NVC on Monday to find out the date they received your case. Then count at least 20 working days to figure out about when you will receive the Case #. Again start calling NVC towards the end of that time period.

So sorry for your loss, Saylin. :(

I'm the beneficiary.

Don't have a timeline? Don't know how to get started with it? Do it for the statistics sake: VJ video guide

Filing for a USC spouse visa (IR-1/CR-1) and not sure what comes next? Check out the VJ IR-1/CR-1 guide

Want to know what's happening with your case? Here's the USCIS tracking page (get an account and see if the case's been 'touched'!). Don't get your hopes up though, some cases never even appear there despite being successfully processed.

Please what is the poverty average?

It depends on your household size. A new guideline gets released every March 1st. Here's the 2014 one:

http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2014-01-22/html/2014-01303.htm

Take note that this is the Federal guideline. USCIS/NVC requires you to make 125% (military personnel only needs 100%) of the dollar amount for your household otherwise you would need a joint sponsor (or use assets).

Saylin, My condolences to you and your family :(

It seems NVC has assigned Case # for almost all the cases received by NVC in Jan 2014. It is probably fair to assume that they will start assigning Case # for cases received in February 2014 starting tomorrow. Go NVC ...smile.png
