NVC Filers - May 2014

[TeaCup 65]

I am pretty much in the same boat as your spouse. In my case, I am the U.S. Citizen, living in Mexico with my spouse. I don't work here, have been "living" here for about 3.5 years, and I have no income from the U.S. I just plan on sending in bank account statements, credit card statements, current driver's license, voter registration card, and my TEMPORARY tourist card to be here in Mexico, all showing that I still have my permanent address (my parents' address) in the U.S. I am hoping that should be enough to show that I maintained a U.S. domicile.

I think you will be fine. You seem to have alot of hard evidence that you still use it as your primary address.

Are you serious Soloenta? Why would they do that? Infuriate the husband for what reason? As if this process is not infuriating enough!! Arghhh

I don't know Ryan&Joanna but if you go to the Egypt Embassy review you will see horror stories and AP lasting up to 3 years. I don't understand it. I did read one lady was older than the husband but they approved a 97 year old man marrying a 18 year old and they aren't supposed to be above the law so they say. It seems they can do what ever they want and no one can stop them from what I've seen. The interview is what scares me the most.

I think you guys should be okay too. It will help that he still has a car there and also the letter that his mom will write. As for the voter registration card, he can probably call the board of elections of whichever state he is from and request for them to send him another one. That's exactly what I did.

As for my case, I think that only having a "tourist" permit to be here in Mexico (I have to leave and come back every 180 days) should be enough to show them I am still technically domiciled in the U.S.

I really hope so. I read in a review somewhere that a person at my consulate wasn't even asked about domicile. I will have my husband call about his voting card. Anything that will help!

Wow. Doesnt leaving every few weeks get expensive? I guess it's worth it though. :-D

It's not too bad because I'm coming from northern Mexico and I usually only go every 6 months. Definitely worth it...

i went through same process as well...

but while reissuing passport they took just 5 days, as the officer marked it as 'police verfication' not required....

but then while issuing PCC those idiotic guys said now 'police verification' is needed.... so it took 15 more days...

don't worry, if things went smooth, u will get ur passport even after police verification in a months time....

make sure to follow ur police station and as soon as they receive ur verification, go there, give them 500 bucks :) lol.... and it will be done....

they take most of the time in verification only....

best of luck

My last passport has a US address. Verification must be done by the police prior to re-issuance.

They said it will take 60 days.

My embassy appointment will most likely be for the end of June.

Really dont know what to do

wasn't 'tatkal' scheme applicable to you?

[mumbaiVictory 5]

wasn't 'tatkal' scheme applicable to you?

Its not applicable to any passport holder where the prior passport was not issued by a RPO inside the boundaries of india

go figure

Wow... 97 and 18? Not to appear judgmental but that is a really big age gap. I think if we're genuine we should not have too much to worry about. At least I hope that's the case. After all, what do they gain from keeping genuinely married couples apart? Since we do see many fraudulent people on here filing for a 'spouse' I guess they're just being careful, sometimes over careful.

Let's hope and pray for the best. Nothing is impossible with God. You'll do just great at the interview. Don't worry

don't worry friend... hope all will be okay....

i don't understand these PSK guys.... one of my friend got his pcc without his wife name on the passport....

i doubt what happened with me was that while filling application form for the PCC, i filled marital status as 'married' which is obviously right, that wat those guys noticed and asked me to reissue the same.

if i wud have mentioned myself as single on the form, they might have issued me the same without any other doc, as PCC that you will get no where mentions your marital status, it just says that PCC is issued for USA blah blah.....

But then again, there was a doubt in my mind that CO may ask me that why i don't have my wife's name on passport as its required in India.....

But now that depends upon CO to CO, my friend got his visa approved without his wife name on the passport...

EXACTLY !

[INDIM 27]

EXACTLY !

some nice tragedy with me is also that, i was in some other country for 1.5 years, and i got PCC from that country last december which their embassy issued on my old passport number (same passport which was valid during my tenure in that country).

Now i have a new passport number, and a pcc from India on the same.

SO like everyone else, i was worried NVC guys should not create a mess again for this, so in packet IV i sent them my old passport copies as well (so that they can co-relate that i have PCC from other country on my old passport number), and then on the cover letter i mentioned that i will produce both passports (old one carries a cancelled stamp now).

Just curious, they should not issue me a checklist for this now...

i think, all of us here on VJ are legal cases (genuinely married) only, so not to worry........ otherwise no one in a fraud case will be so desparate to meet their better halves as we all folks here are :)
