If that's the truth then that's what you put. Honesty is the best policy.

Oh my god, I'm sorry. Instead of a checklist, this could have been your case complete. I really hope it gets reviewed soon.

yea, tell me about it.. I'm sick over this. I just hope they review it and decide the processor is a moron.... My mother-in-law is confused. She said that is the original. I'm not sure what they think a birth certificate from a 3rd world country from 34 years ago is supposed to look like...

I'm about to call again to see if they finished reviewing everything. I was told that they weren't even finished reviewing everything..... Maybe.... just maybe I put in a supervisor review request in time... I can wish can't I ???

Called NVC and they want an original marriage cert even though I sent in a certified copy. Asked my senator to request another supervisor review because no way in hell I'm sending my original certificate to those brainless fuckwads who can't read CERTIFIED COPY on the paper.

Agree with this -- just state that you'll get the vaccinations at the medical. That's one of the points of the medical, right?

[LoveMyTico 999]

Calling NVC now. Evidently I do need to send in proof of emolument even though I'm abroad and everyone here and in NVC has told me differently. Also, I was told there were "questions" about IV packet as well. Wonder if it's the same as lovemytico- about birth cert.

Lucybelle, what does your husband's birth cert look like???

Hey guys - A quick question. My wife's birth certificate has her given name differently due to a mistake when her birth was registered. She has never used this name in any type of record and her national card/passport and certified copies of her passport has her real name. The back of her original birth certificate has the issuing authority acknowledging her real name. On the DS-260 it asks if any other names has been used, should we mark yes or no?

Well, I would assume that if it's not been 'used' as a name other than on that original document, that I would not claim it as an alias. In the IV package, it would be in your best interest to include a letter clarifying the issue as you have to send it in anyway.

Hi

I have a query regarding the AOS, and I hope one someone here can help. We are still to be allocated a case number at the NVC, but am getting all of my ducks in a row for when we do.

Now I sort of understand the requirement to have a % of either cash or assets that can be easily converted to cash that is above the poverty line - I am unsure what this means exactly, but from reading previous posts I think for a couple we need to demonstrate that we have approximately $75K of cash/assets.

Currently we have approx $20K in cash, and my wife has a house in Las Vegas that she paid $147K for in 2012. Her current mortgage balance is approx $110K, and the agent she used to purchase the house has said the house is now worth approx $190K.

What will we need to show on the AOS to back this up? Will we need to get a full appraisal for the property or can we use a thing called a BPO (Brokers Price Opinion), which is like an appraisal except that it is done by a realtor. A BPO is an official source (from what I have been told) to ascertain the value of a property.

Thanks in advance for any opinions or experiences with this

I do not have the answer, but at one time I questioned it as well while thinking about using my house as an asset, since I'll be selling it before immigrating to the US, and someone directed me to get a professional appraisal. They felt the annual Property Value Assessment that the city does, would not be sufficient. And page 7 of the AOS instructions are not that specific, but maybe another source or poster here has better information.

Hey guys - On the DS 260 form, it asks if my wife has had vaccinations in occordance to US laws. she has not had any vaccinations but will before her interview, should i mark no and explain the reason for not having vaccinations?

The question actually asks if you have documentation to establish that you have received vaccinations... not whether they've been done, so if they haven't been fully done or you're missing documentation to support the claim, then say no and explain that the vaccinations and documents will become available after the medical appointment.

Interview date is set for june 26th 2014

Congrats!!!
