NVC Filers - January 2015

Hi all ,,

I'm so happy today I received the AOS paper from our joint sponsor. I have some questions :

He give me his 1040a tax return transcript for 2013,2012 and 2011 . So what is the correct line in form 1040a to put as total income in part 6, is it total income or adjust gross income?

He also give me his 1040a taxes and last three pay stubs and his passport photocopy, is that enough?

I have mostly seen Canadians with this problem too... I have a friend who was a Spanish resident and recently went through the process to move to the USA with Spanish husband and had no problems. It seems like going through this painful ordeal (that is immigration) should be evidence enough that we want to re-estabish domicile! I guess it makes sense that Canada would be more of an issue because you could easily go back and forth...

I'm Canadian, being interviewed on Feb. 3, and my American wife lives here too. Canada and USA are huge countires so unless both spouses live close to the border it's not so easy to go back and forth. My wife is from coastal North Carolina, which is a 20 to 24 hour drive if you include stopping for gas, eating, and a rest stop or two. You could fly there from Spain or pretty any where else in Europe in way less the time.

I didn't mean to say that the Canadian embassy was correct in thinking that people might go back and forth I was just trying to think of a reason that they were so strict about re-establishing domicile while most other countries don't even ask about it. I am fully aware that Canada and the US are big countries and was not implying that people would have the intention of going back and forth at all... sorry if you were offended.

Congrats on your interview date I hope that it goes well for you!

Honestly the fact that you must remain in the USA 6 months out of the year to maintain your permanent residency card seems like plenty of "intention." Unfortunately my husband is Brazilian and he can't even visit the USA without a tourist visa (which he was denied because of the fact that he is married to me) so to even meet my family we have had to go through this entire process and will have to choose between losing his green card or staying there six months out of the next three years until he reaches the naturalization requirements.

So basically we weren't allowed to visit because they were worried that he would stay as an immigrant, so now we are forced to immigrate so that we can even visit.

Hi everyone! We first applied in April, and my NVC scan date was December 11th, I am hoping to get a case complete in early February. I will be visiting my husband in the UK at that time, so it would be great to celebrate together. Fingers crossed no checklists. I wish everyone luck and hope to start seeing some December case completes soon!!

Hi kaelabelle,

No offence taken at all. Good luck on your journey to your life in the USA as well.

Alright, small spreadsheet update: I inactivated my old request form. People were still filling it out despite being on the new layout or people were not reading the first page and trying to be added to it (even though I stopped adding people to the old one back in November). There's only 14 people left on the old layout with no case completes (from what I could find), so for those people: you can just message me with any updates. This will minimize some frustrations I have from people not reading

So, there's only one request form now, to be updated/added to the one and only current spreadsheet!

So your scan date is Dec 11 or...? Sorry, I just sent mine two weeks ago by EP and still don't have a scan date, so I'm trying to figure out when a scan date happens and what it might be.

My date is Nov 19, I received an email confirmation on Dec 11 that my docs were received on Nov 19 and it would be 60 days from Nov 19.

Oh, that's WONDERFUL to hear. I was afraid this would be like waiting to be assigned a case number, where days and weeks vanish into the aether.

I know I looked up the remaining people and checked out their timelines, threads, and posts to see what was going on

When AOS changes to N/A but civil documents is still showing as Paid, does that mean CC?
