But I should be hearing from NVC  by next year to start the process? 

The waiting time for F2B is 7 years for now. So your interview maybe in June 2021.

NVC will send the Welcome letter at least 6 months before the interview. So you can expect to get the WL in 2020. 

 

This is just anticipation, and it may be longer, because there are more and more applications. We cannot predict that.

 

What you can do now is updating your email address to NVC, and keep your connection with NVC via email by asking them "What is the status of your case" every year, so you can get their WL as soon as your case opened. Using this form to contact NVC https://secureforms.travel.state.gov/ask-nvc.php

Hi Triple28,

Can you please tell me the process like

1) Who will get the Welcome Letter, Will my Petitioner i.e. My Father or will i get the welcome letter. ?

2) Will there be any correspondence between my Petitioner i.e. My Father and NVC. if so what would that be ?

 

My Father will be coming to India this week for Medical Treatment and will stay with us for few (3-4 or more) months

So i am concerned how would that work if they would send some letter to him.

 

Thank you

Welcome Letter will be sent to both the petitioner and applicant via mail to their physical address.

 

You can get WL via email by asking NVC to update your email address into their database using this form

https://secureforms.travel.state.gov/ask-nvc.php

 

Check the box "Please update my NVC file with this email address". You can also ask your invoide ID via this form. NVC will reply after 2-4 weeks.

From now on, NVC will send Welcome letter and other notifications to you via email.

 

When you get WL, you can fill DS-261, DS-260 using the invoice ID in WL, as well as pay the fees, submit your civil documents and your father financial documents to NVC. Your father does not need to do it if you can.

 

P/S: If your father leave the US, he should get the "reentry permit" before leaving the US.

Because green card holder will lose their status if they leave the US more than 1 year. 

Re-entry permit is valid up to 2 years so he can reenter the US if he needs to leave the US more than 1 year.

Our situation is that my father was just diagnosed with Primary Brain Tumor last Month, He had brain surgery to partially remove tumor on 11 June.

He will require radiotherapy and chemotherapy and was suppose to get the same in the US,

but because there is no one there to take care of him during the therapies, we had no other option but to call him to India and seek the treatment here.

 

I have one more question.

 

He does not have good source of income in the US, Medicaid/Medicare will be used to pay the medical bill.

so i am assuming we will need joint sponsor

So does the sponsor need to be a relative ?

 

Thanks for taking the time and replying to me.

Joint Sponsor can be anyone. So you will need 2 sponsor forms, one for your father (main sponsor) and one for joint sponsor (anyone not related to relatives).

 

You can find all the information needed in this USCIS offical website:

https://www.uscis.gov/greencard/affidavit-support

 

You should read more in this website, I only quote some info maybe useful for everyone:

 

Quote

Sponsor for Affidavit of Support

You must also be at least 18 years old and a U.S. citizen or a permanent resident. You must have a domicile in the United States or a territory or possession of the United States. Usually, this requirement means you must actually live in the United States, or a territory or possession, in order to be a sponsor. If you live abroad, you may still be eligible to be a sponsor if you can show that your residence abroad is temporary, and that you still have your domicile in the United States.

 

Quote

Joint Sponsor

A joint sponsor must meet all the same requirements as you, except the joint sponsor does not need to be related to the immigrant.

 

Quote

Substitute Sponsor

If the visa petitioner has died after approval of the visa petition but U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) decides to let the petition continue, a substitute sponsor must file a Form I-864 in place of the deceased visa petitioner. In order to be a “substitute sponsor,” you must be related to the intending immigrant in one of the following ways:

• Spouse
• Parent
• Mother-in-law
• Father-in-law
• Sibling
• Child (if at least 18 years of age)
• Son
• Daughter
• Son-in-law
• Daughter-in-law
• Sister-in-law
• Brother-in-law
• Grandparent
• Grandchild
• Legal guardian of the beneficiary

 

Quote

If You Can’t Meet the Minimum Income Requirements

• You may add the cash value of your assets. This includes money in savings accounts, stocks, bonds, and property. 
• You may count the income and assets of members of your household who are related to you by birth, marriage, or adoption.
• You may count the assets of the relatives you are sponsoring.
