Hmm, not to sure on that. I'd suggest looking on the CBP website and/or call them about that.

Hmmm, that name sounds familiar. I'll have to wait until I get home to check the paperwork though to see if that was his name. That'd be funny if we were both denied by the same officer at the airport!

I still remember his face :ranting: let me know...

I remember the faces of both the people that denied me too, haha. And don't worry, as soon as I get home, I'm heading straight towards my immigration folder to check the name. Then I'll post here ;)

thanks saylin…though does it have to be the first time itself. Like say you crossed the border first time and then a few months later you got to sell your condo and then wanted to come take your stuff? sorry i know this isn't the thread to ask such questions…but like most other people i am just waiting to hear back… :clock: … and rather than fret about what i cannot control i am concentrating on positive far ahead thinking.. :idea:

You have 10 years to bring your stuff over. So no it doesn't have to be right away. Cars you only have a year to import however. (But if it's like years after your initial crossing they could ask for proof that you owned this item for a year before importing it.)

You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.  - Dr. Seuss

Need help filling out DS-260

I'm going through DS-260 exemplar (to familiarize myself about the form before we do it online) and I found few troubling questions:

1. Questions about parents- Mother's Surnames? What goes here, mother's maiden name or married name? (old DS-230 asked about Mother's family name at birth)

2. Have you attended any educational institutions at a secondary level or above - what do they considered secondary level education?

3. Do you have documentation to establish that you have received vaccinations in accordance with U.S. law?

Is answer here "YES", because person will do medical exam before interview?

4. About passport: Country/Authority that Issued Document: -SELECT ONE- what are the possible options that can be selected?

Finally got some good news today. We got our case complete, after seeing AOS fee change from "Paid" to "N/A". Called to confirm. Our last scan date was July 1 (mail was received on June 26). It's a relief to be on our way out of the NVC.

Congrats..

HI all,

Does Status of 'Affidavit of Support Documents & Financial Evidence' and 'Civil Documents' changes from N/A to something else if they start reviewing your documents? Or it stays N/A forever

What is that you are talking about? The $2500 card? Esta es muy loco...

Long story. His old libreta militar had been destroyed by sitting in a box in the Caribbean heat and humidity for more than a decade. It was poorly laminated and as a result turned into illegible brown mush. We looked into proving true hardship to NVC so as not to have to get another one (difficult to do from Argentina and would have required travel to Colombia that would have put his job at risk), but his parents asked around and the military agreed to do it without him being physically present. For a fee. Then we knew proving hardship would be next to impossible, since it's a huge chunk of change but we were capable of paying it and his job was no longer at risk (contractor=no vacation). The funny thing is that the very same military produces fake libretas militares for much less money, but we definitely didn't want to do that and risk him being banned from the U.S. for life for misrepresentation or whatever. It's sillly to me that the U.S. insists on having military records that show he wasn't in the military, from an extremely corrupt military. So we are still waiting on his authentic libreta militar. By far the most expensive and ridiculous part of this visa process for us. It's also taken more than the month they said it would take so we can't even send the IV package yet. I might call about that since we do have an official letter that says it's in production, and maybe that would be acceptable.

Guys I'm new to this thread - I just approved on July 8 and NVC received my file on July 17. I received my Case # on Aug 6 and paid the AOS fee and now trying to gather documents for AOS package.

After been on Visa Journey for a while, I realized that I should fire my attorney since he was fit for nothing. Our VJ members are more knowledgeable then him.

I have a question to the group, actually I have few more questions but I don't want to through all of them at once.

My wife did not work last year after our marriage and I support her financially. Since she has no income I have completed one from I-864 for her and I have a co-sponsor as my father-in-law but he file taxes jointly with his wife. Do I have to fill out I-864 for my father-in-law and I-864A for my mother-in-law? BTW she doesn't work.

Help please - Thanks!
