Thank you so much, just don't wake me up! ;)fainting-smiley.gif

I can't see your Timeline, is this the correct time line with your last scan date? I'll be here for you no worries my dear and it might be faster only time will tell but your close. :)

Thank you so very much for your sweet and thoughtful words you made me blush. :)fainting-smiley.gif

my last scan date was 10/30. Please let us pamper you today because today is your day, and you can ask questions 2morrw. :dancing::dancing::dancing::dancing::dancing::dancing::dancing:

This is the greatest lesson a child can learn. It is the greatest lesson anyone can learn. It has been the greatest lesson I have learned: if you persevere, stick w/it, work @ it, you have a real opportunity to achieve something. Sure, there will be storms along the way. And you might not reach your goal right away. But if you do your best and keep a true compass, you'll get there. Edward M. Kennedy,

I'm posting this here...really freaking out and need your guys' help!

Someone HELP!

We are filing on my husband (petitioners) assets alone. We received the so called 'checklist' regarding no meeting fanancial requirements here is the excerpt:

The NVC has received the information you have submitted in reference to
the Affidavit of Support. Please be advised that the Affidavit of Support
information you have provided does not appear to meet the minimum
income requirement according to the current poverty guidelines to sponsor
the intending immigrant(s) for this petition. The consular officer will make
a decision regarding this requirement at the time of your interview. In
order to avoid delays, you may wish to submit an additional Affidavit of
Support (Form I-864) for a/another Joint Sponsor to the National Visa
Center to assist in sponsoring the intending immigrants. To view the
current poverty guidelines, visit
If you decide to use a Joint Sponsor to assist in sponsoring the intending
immigrants, please note that you the sponsor may not use Form I-864EZ
and will also need to submit Form I-864.
I remember reading someone getting the same email regarding them only submitting assets and I think someone confirmed that it was a CC and we need to bring the documents to the embassy *BUT* I need to confirm...
I'm trying to get through the NVC right now but was hoping fellow NVC'ers could help faster than I can get a rep on the phone to calm my down my anxiety.

It does say "The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of your interview." I'd say it's CC. I did read somewhere that everyone using assets gets this email.

Congratulations!!! :dancing:

I see Saylin responded as well and i agree with her. I think you likely have a CC and this is just a "warning" regarding the assets. I dare to say CONGRATULATIONS!!!! :)

Well it would have been - I got the second e-mail. I am so doubting myself - thankfully we have a duplicate copy of the AOS (sitting at my husbands work at the moment) but they are stating I didn't check the military box.

I am so sunk at the moment. Can't write more - need to sleep and need to see this paper and what it says tomorrow.

Oh my god, CONGRATULATIONS SWEETHEART!!! I am soo soo happy and excited for you! :dancing::dance::dancing:

I felt like it was going to be your week. What a wonderful Christmas present (L)

I hope your case gets to leave nasty NVC ASAP and your hubby gets an interview assigned pretty fast :luv: I know the consulate in Egypt is a bit picky about that, but one can still hope, right? Have a fantastic day and enjoy every bit of it! I hope those sleepless nights belong to the past now.

It might be a CC.. Your spouse not making sufficient income so you are trying to use assets (bank balance) to meet requirements.. is it? .. if yes.. I recommend you to bring I-864 from joint sponsor to the interview..

I am so sorry to hear this. I had a panic attack for 24 hours when I received the checklist and didn't eat for days. It is such a horrible feeling when it's something so small.

I really feel for you. :cry:
