NVC Filers - March 2014

[Gee&Cee 41]

I am not in the NVC stage yet, but I am thinking I might be within the next two months. Our petition was just transfered. My question is, is there an exporation date that the papers come from my husband over seas can have. I thought I read somewhere the paperwork can not be dated more than two months old.

I want my husband to start gathering all of the paperwprk because he will have to travel a bit to get it. And I want to be able to send the paperwork NVC needs as soon as they ask for it.

Thank you

Hi! The only documents, that I'm aware of, that have an expiration date are the police certificates (please someone correct me!). He also needs a passport that has at least 6 months at the interview time, before expiring and recent photo. You may want to check online at the US Embassy/ Consulate of your husband's country for the specific documents he'll need. Keep in mind, he'll need to provide original/ certified copies of some of the docs, for NVC and at the interview (so get a couple of each doc, if he can). You will also have to have the docs translated, if they're not in English.

When the NVC stage starts you have some time to get the time sensitive stuff. Currently, once NVC receives your case (which is NOT immediately after it's approved by USCIS), you'll have about 20-30 business days before case numbers are issued and you file the Affidavit of Support (AOS) and Immigration Visa (IV) docs.

In our case, I was able to get all the original copies, police certificates (federal and state), translations, photos, renew my passport and mail to my husband, within that time between received at NVC and case numbers received. I know, though, I'll need to get new police certificates before the interview because they'll be expired by then (only 90 days). But it helped that the issuing agencies here didn't take a long time (a week at most) and I didn't need to get police certificates from other countries or states.

I already told them..

as we knew that many people left Vj after they get approval from USCIS.

out of 78 approval from august sheet, I just saw only 6 to 7 people here in the NVC sheet.

I do not know why they left but if we have all their data than we have more clear picture about NVC timeframe. ( but it's impossible task).

we dont get it - why are you updating the NVC sheet for someone who is not interested in putting data into it

they left after i-130 approval - meaning they will not give you or saylin any useful NVC data.

i dont think its a good idea to add OTHER people's information without them doing it

and without them updating their timelines for the rest of us deep

Also, what is the purpose of adding JUST the service center - are you on the hook for getting their NVC data somehow ?

can you explain why Saylin ought to do this work ?

Hi Saylin/ others

I have a specific question regarding AOS/ i 864. Please help me.

Some background:

My wife is the USC.

My wife spent the whole year of 2013 with me in Pakistan so obviously, she didn't have ANY income for the year 2013. But before that, she had fulltime jobs in the years 2011 and 2012 and made above the recommended 125% poverty line.

She returned to the US in late 2013 and has started working since February 2014. She is making above the 125% poverty line in her new job as well.

My question:

My question is, does she need a co-sponsor? I'm asking this because she didn't have any personal income for the year 2013. Does she need to include her dad/ mom as a co-sponsor?

I would really appreciate your comments on this question.

Thank you so much.

She should not but it may be required at your embassy or consulate. Each embassy is a little different. So I suggest trying without but having joint sponsor paperwork to hand over on interview day if they ask. Edited March 16, 2014 by NLR

co sponsor or joint sponsor

i got confused around reading its a 2 different thing.

husband is way way short to support a family of 5, so i asked my aunt to be a joint sponsor. now as i read here, theres a co sponsor, meaning in the same household. husband sister is willing to be a co sponsor, now my question is,

• she is goin to fill i864a right?
• their mom and 1 daughter is dependent in sisters 1040, but they will not be counted in household size right.
• so it'll be 6 total household member
• they just have to add their annual income and check the poverty guidelines if it fits for 6, is that right? example 28915 + 30000= 58915 poverty guideline for 6 =39962.

did i get it right?

our joint sponsor is still on vacation, we wanted to send in the AOS if this fits

No. Any dependents must be claimed pn the I-864. How many people are immigrating? (USC do not immigrate to the USA.)

For the DS260, do I have to list all my jobs since 16 as well? There were a couple of part-time jobs I did during college for a couple months, and some of these companies have closed for good. Thanks!

last 10 years I think but even closed companies should be mentioned.

Thanks NLR.

Is there any harm though if she files with co-sponsors at NVC (her mom and dad)?

Added. Was your I-130 approved from NBC or was it transferred at some point?

[Peace500 28]

Thanks for the reply. I wanted to know if there was an easy way out where I could go one place and get all copies made there which are acceptable by the NVC, but doesn't seem like it is going to be that easy. So as of now I can either send all originals to NVC with the probability that they MAY get lost and I will then have to go 3-4 offices to different parts of the city to apply for new ones OR I can do that now and send in certified copies. My question still remains that if I send in certified copies, do I have to carry originals to the interview?

First of all, I am so happy to see you on this thread. Finally you made it here Anyway, I believe that if you send all the certified copies to NVC, you wont have to necessarily take any civil docs with your to the interview unless instructed by NVC/consulate. Here is an attachment, someone shared this link its specifically for India.

Thank you Peace500, I am happy to be here too and like I said before I had been missing you guys.

Yes 7 if your sister is the joint sponsor. If you have a better joint sponsor I would use them.

Thanks NLR.

Joint sponsors, no she can do that if she wants to cover all the bases.
