Apparently NVC was just waiting for me to lose all hope, sit back and get comfortable before throwing us for a loop. Yesterday evening we received an email notification for a May 19 interview in Londo

It's been 26 days since the notice said they shipped the petition to NVC. I beat the awful Texas average. Nebraska has been bad luck for me. It sat on my petition 3 months after transfer and then it was an RFE and it took another month for the approval. I am going to call again tomorrow. I am tempted to call now, but it's like 12:30 a.m. here and I don't want to be on line for a long time. I told my husband to ask the lawyer find out whether the case was actually shipped or not. If by tomorrow my husband doesn't tell the lawyer or the lawyer does nothing, I am going to send a fax to Nebraska.

Yay, congratulations!

Hi dilmera.

1) you can email to NVC if you didn't email yet.

please write your husband and your full name and birthdate.

also, your MSC number.

2) when you call USCIS, talk with them as you r petitioner. ( don't tell them that you are calling from abroad.)

They can't catch you from your voice.

They might ask petitioner birthdate and address. ( nothing else)

Lying with USCIS for good reason is completely fine at this stage. ( my opinion )

I am sorry to them who feels it's not good to lie.

Hey can someone post the link for the required vaccines per country? I tried looking on VJ as well as google and no luck. I found the general one, but I'm pretty sure I remember seeing for CR you need to get a chest x-ray and some blood test as well. My husband is planning on going and getting vaccines and such tomorrow and I want to make sure he can get everything he needs.

THANKS!

Hey guys....kinda lost.

I got my I130 approval on Feb 28th....but I haven't heard from NVC yet. I've been trying to call them...but line is always busy. I've completed my I864....and now just waiting.

Any ideas on what I can do yo speed this up?

Nothing will speed up the process, although being ready for all that is upcoming may save you time in the next few months. Read Saylin's wiki and get ready.

Also, you do need to call NVC to get your case number which hopefully isn't too far ahead.

Our I-130 was approved Feb 10, and I'm hoping our case number will be ready in another week or so. I called last evening, but we need to wait longer yet :clock:

Help on I-864! if I have salaried and self-employed income and I am submitting a tax TRANSCRIPT, do I still need to include a COPY of my schedule C?

The transcript is proof I did it appropriately right?

We also like to know this. Our petitioner submitted I-864 with Transcript only for 2013 along with W2 and 1099. She submitted Transcripts for three years. In 2012 and 2011 her income was only from salary but in 2013 it was a combination of salary and self-employed income.
