Hey All,



I have read and re-read so many different and conflicting answers so i am just going to ask these few questions myself and see what I get before I send these off and get a check list. So thanks in advance for any answers that you feel could set me straight and assure me I am sending in the correct paperwork.



1. For the joint sponsor's (mom) I-864 form, if she filed jointly and with a 1040, first...do I use the entire joint income which is both her's and her husband's? and then submit her


W-2's? and then this would mean I can't use the transcripts, right because it doesn't divide the income?



2. And so...if she makes over and above the amount needed to sponsor my husband, do we still need to get her husband to sign the I-864A?



3. When submitting the AOS package do I need to send my (petitioner) original birth cert plus copy? Original Marriage certificate plus copy? Original divorce decree plus copy? Or are they asking for these forms from the beneficiary in the IV package? And do we need to send them in twice if so, once in the AOS package and once in the IV package? And the all need to be originals? Do we get these back at the end of the process? Does the joint sponsor need to send these in the packet these as well?



I am sure there are more questions but this is what is on top of me at the moment. Would love to know correctly without going to a lawyer, but maybe they will prevent a check list and longer processing time?

I suggest to post your questions in this forum coz i believe they can answer ur question as they already gone through these stage... most of them are now waiting for their CC.

Hi... As far as I know the petitioner is the one who will receive the letter from NVC.. and usually they prefer to mail it in US address.

In our case my husband called the NVC for our case number 2 weeks after we got our NOA2... we called them every other day and they gave it after a week.. so we got it really by calling NVC ... coz i dont want to wait for the letter as it takes forever before u can have it.. Actually until now my husband still didnt receive the letter yet from NVC.. and thank God im finished doing DS261 and 260.. and niw ready to send out iur docs to NVC. :)

So I suggest you call.. and dont wait for the letter. Good luck :);)

Your fellow July filers are here http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/506014-i-130-july-filers/:)

ROC from CR-1 visa (Green Card expiration date was Nov 24th 2016)

 

Link to the evidence I submitted. Be sure to send evidence spanning your entire marriage (especially for K-1) or as far back as you can. Just one or two bank statements will not cut it. I primarily focused on the two years of living here since I came in on a CR-1. If you don't have the fundamentals (i.e. joint accounts/policies), you can explain why in the covering letter. E.g. "While we do not have joint utilities, we both contribute to them from our joint bank account".

 

September 26th 2016: I-751 package sent to CSC

September 28th 2016: Package delivered
September 30th 2016: Check cashed
October 3rd 2016: NOA1 received with receipt date of 09/28/16
November 3rd 2016: Biometrics received with appointment date of 11/14/16.
November 14th 2016: Attended biometrics appointment
October 30th 2017: Infopass appointment to get I-551 stamp
February 26th 2018: I-751 case number (aka the NOA1 receipt number) becomes trackable
March 14th 2018: Submitted service request due to being outside of processing time.

March 15th 2018: ROC approved. 535 days (1 year, 5 months and 17 days)

March 29th 2018: Card being produced

April 4th 2018: Card mailed out

April 6th 2018: Card in hand. Has incorrect "resident since" date. Submitted service request on I-751 case (typographical error on permanent resident card) and an I-90 online.

April 2018 - August 7th 2018: Tons of service requests, emails and now senator involvement to get my corrected green card back because what the heck, USCIS. Also some time in May I sent a letter to Potomac telling them I want to withdraw my I-90 since CSC were handling it.

August 8th 2018: Card in production thanks to the direct involvement of Senator Sherrod Brown's team

August 13th 2018: Card mailed

August 15th 2018: Card in hand with correct date. :joy:

October 31st 2018: Potomac sends out a notice stating they have closed out my I-90 per my request. Yay for no duplicate card drama.
