NVC Filers - March 2014

[luisrx11 10]

Hi Saylin,

I have a questions, I hope you can help. Things are changing at my job and are laying people off. Since I am the only support for my family I feel the need to move to a another company. AOS is being process at NVC at the moment, I am the only sponsor. Do you know how will this change affect the process? What steps should I take at NVC or embassy? Once I change jobs.

Thanks for the support.

It looks like many of my fellow NVC travellers are not included in the excellent worksheet that Ms. Saylin is maintaining. Please take a look at the worksheet and if you are not in the worksheet you can request Ms. Saylin to add you. She will need your NOA2 date, NVC receipt date, and other dates (depending on your progress thru' NVC).

This helps all of us to estimate about how long each step @ NVC is taking.

Thanks.

Thanks Saylin, that makes me feel better. I couldn't for the life of me think what generated the checklist, but that makes sense . I am hoping that my IV stuff goes through smoothly and that there are no further checklists!

Hi saylin.,

i just have a quick question that i am in the middle of filling out affidavit of support form and i will be needing a joint sponser which i 864 form i should fill out and which one should by joint sponser fill out, as i am the petitioner

Hi ankit1420:

Since Ms. Saylin has gone to sleep..zzzz I am taking the opportunity to respond to your question.

Both you (petitioner) and the Joint Sponsor fill in I-864 forms. The attachments are - tax transcripts, employer letter, and pay stubs. Also, make sure to review the first two posts in this thread (from Ms. Saylin). They are extremely helpful in understanding these complex NVC process steps.

Also, please fill in your Timeline so we can all benefit. Thanks.

Saylin,

Thank you for your reply. What is AP? Also, if I just take a "leave of absence" from work and my boss agrees to re-hire me upon my return would I still be "obligated" to bring an updated I864 to the interview? The proof of domocile would be easy I would think given a letter from my employer stating I am begining work on x date, my american bank accounts, bills from storage company with my personal belongings, and a lease agreement from a new apartment dont you think? I know this is all speculation but I just want to run my ideas to someone who knows a lot more than me. thank you for your help!

Ap is administrative processing. It's waiting afterwards until the consulate decides you've fulfilled their requirements or waiting on name and background checks on the beneficiary.

The I-864 is a legally binding agreement based on your CURRENT income. If you are not working you are not making income and would need a joint sponsor. There is no way around this. I HIGHLY suggest staying at your job. Take some vacation time or unpaid leave but do not quit or do anything that would require you to be "re-hired."

The beneficiary could also come visit you instead. After all they have to go back for the medical and interview.

Lol...you are damn funny...Hague convention ....

I think I will call them and let them know...

Aren't you supposed to provide a decree of finalised divorce in VAWA Cases ?

Sorry I didn't know what's it like.

Once you get there, you'll probably have to restart the process of dissolution and try to serve him/her again.

You are right I will have to restart the divorce process once I am in US. At the moment I am concerned on how and what to do at NVC stage...

Hello Saylin can you please add me to the spreadsheet, NVC received my case on 2/25/14.

thank you

does anyone else have the NVC operators make you read your USCIS approval letter? it has happened 2 out of 2 times now to me..

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

We finally got our case number and IIN today.

Weird thing is, we didn't call them - they e-mailed us with the instructions and the details. I already filled up the DS261. Does my husband need to fill that up too? And I'm assuming that it will take a couple of days before they let us pay the AOS *sigh* I'm just hoping to finish the NVC phase within a month. I'm giving birth soon and I'd rather not have this to worry about.

Hi, we got our NOA2 on Monday. It says the case was approved and shipped to NVC, but our online status says that they mailed us a notice that they have approved our case; there is nothing about shipping the case. For some case numbers, I have seen the online status changes when they mail the case to NVC. Does it necessarily change for all cases? Another thing if my husband is now filing taxes for 2013, how long will it take to get the tax transcript? We had gotten an RFE from the NVC for our marriage record booklet and its translation despite sending the copy of marriage certificate. Do I need to send in the original marriage record booklet and its translation in the IV packet?

Yes i experienced that before.. i called after 3weeks of my approval and then the nvc rep told me to read what is written in my noa2..and said its too early to call nvc.
