NVC received application June 19, they said it will take up to 40 days to upload into their system and assign a case number ? I am thinking of requesting for an expedite. Don't know how to go about that though

Yes I got the welcome letter on June 19th with AOS fee invoice. Have been unable to log in so I sent the payment by mail. Until Friday they were saying they could not choose an agent for me (Step I at NVC) as my case was locked but this morning I was able to do that step over the phone.

I suggest you start preparing financial documents: W2, tax transcripts, any other relevant information and your marriage certificate passport copies etc. You may also refer to NVC Wiki in these forums

Any idea what they do when the country you live in has no mail delivery? Will they email you the welcome letter?

HI Dec Filers

I have some questions, please help me out...

1. Petitioner has a low income, do i need a joint sponsor ?

2. If yes, then what type of forms do one need to fill out ? i.e. i-864xxxx

3. For example, if i-864 EZ is the form , so both of them i.e. petitioner and the joint sponsor, need to fill out the same type of i-864 forms?

Please guide me.

Special thanks to Karn !!!

This is what I read from the US Embassy webpage:

• If the petitioner's income is not sufficient to meet income requirements, the income of a relative residing in the same household can be combined with the petitioner's income by signing an "Agreement of Household Member" Form I-864A (PDF 646 KB). The household member must submit all supporting documents as well.
• A person residing outside of the petitioner's household may also act as a financial joint sponsor by completing a separate I-864.
• All I-864 and I-864A forms must be accompanied by the most recent year’s income tax return (such as form 1040) or tax transcript from the Internal Revenue Service. The sponsor should also submit any W2 forms for that year. If the sponsor is using business income as proof of income, please make sure to submit all the income tax returns for that business as well as proof of the sponsor’s relationship to the business.

We filed Dec 11th and still no word.

We heard today that our file is in for background checks. They would not give any ETA. The Senator's office called and was told generally 5-7 months and in very rare cases it can take longer. :/

Finally, got notice of approval (website/ not paper) today. 220 days and an RFE in between. Thank God!

When should I call NVC and what's the first step?
