How many minutes did you wait to talk to the nvc representative? Cause my bf is still trying to call them for an hour but still there was no answring.

It took me 4-5 tries to get through tonight, and then I was on hold for about an hour. I called just after 7.00 Central. Hang in there if you got through to their automated menu, someone will eventually help you!

I talked to a very nice lady at NVC, but she was useless. She didn't give me any information that was useful. She told me there are no time limit on how long the ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS will take. Uggghh!

Later in the afternoon my fiancee check the website...our case are finally moving on from NVC!! It only took 3 freaken weeks for it to finally say TRANSIT!!

Hi!

I have a question about Form I-134:

I make well over the poverty line now, but as of my tax return I was not making enough. On the VJ guide it says that I should just supply 2 proofs of income (i.e. paystubs, letter from my employer). On the USCIS instructions for Form I-134 it states

Submit in duplicate evidence of income and resources, as appropriate:

A. Statement from an officer of the bank or other financial institutions with deposits, identifying the following details regarding the account:

1. Date account opened;
2. Total amount deposited for the past year; and 3. Present balance.

B. Statement(s) from your employer on business stationery showing:

1. Date and nature of employment;
2. Salary paid; and
3. Whether the position is temporary or permanent.

C. If self-employed:
1. Copy of last income tax return filed; or 2. Report of commercial rating concern.

Form I-134 Instructions 02/19/14 Y Page 1

D. List containing serial numbers and denominations of bonds and name of record owner(s).

So from this information it sounds like a tax return isn't required or even suggested, right?

So therefore I would just need the following as evidence (since I am not self employed and without a bond):

1. Bank statement with date acct opened, total deposits for past year, and present balance

2. Employer statement

Is that correct?

London is a fairly easy embassy when it comes to stuff like this. They only want to see one supporting evidence for the I-134 and will take a letter from your employer stating your income and that your job is in good faith. So don't worry

See the first post of this thread, point 2: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/474161-london-k1-a-complete-guide/

For the TSC cases, I posted this in the November TSC forums but in case you don't see it:

Hi All,

So we contacted the ombudsman to see if we could initiate a bulk transfer from TSC to CSC based on the data on visa community even though we hadn't reached the 5 month mark, to paraphrase from our email:

"Although we have not met the 5 month "marker" we were hoping that the ombudsman would help support the Family Visa Community to find some way of initiating a bulk transfer of cases from the Texas Service Center to the California Service Center and for the Headquarters to better manage the backlogs of Service Centers"

Their reply:

Good Afternoon,

Thank you for contacting the Office of the CIS Ombudsman. Your home state dictates which Service Center processes your application. Transfers are not usually made due to backlog. Processing at the different Service Centers depends on the resources allocated. Our office is currently monitoring posted processing times across USCIS.

As you application is within processing time there is nothing this office can do as this is an office of last resort. You must first attempt to resolve any concerns with USCIS before coming to this office.

Sincerely,

Office of the CIS Ombudsman

If you wish to contact them (I guess the more who do the more pressure is put on) then here is the email address cisombudsman@hq.dhs.gov website link here.

Next step for us is the congressman. We have emailed USCIS HQ but no reply yet.

Please follow the instructions you received from the National Visa Center (NVC) for the next step in the processing of your visa petition. If you have misplaced the instructions sent to you by the NVC or did not receive them, please contact us at http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3177.htmlfor additional information.

--> thats the exact words stated in the ceac when I checked our case status. I dont know if we can proceed to do our medical and ibterview date fee..

Are you applying at the manila embassy???

[Evangelistamonik 0]

Yes

[musique 16]

Yes

Don't wait for the letter. AS long as you have your MNL case number, you can already pay the interview fee and book your interview then proceed with your medical.

[Evangelistamonik 0]

In the day of medical i heard that they need the case number???
