I-130 Approved, NVC - Co-Sponsoring - Filing from abroad.

[negmatic 7]

Hello Everyone,

We are in the IR-1 process since January 2015 and are filing from abroad.

Here is the situation we are today:

- I-130 has been approved, last month, and transferred to NVC,
- Agent choice >>> done,
- My wife, the USC, will be in US in few weeks and will take this opportunity to open a bank account which will be used to pay AOS & IV fees and a proof of re establishing domicile (she has others like being register as voter, etc.),
- Our apartment is being sold and the transaction should be completed by June (we can stay in for rent),
- We still need to find a Co-Sponsor.

Few questions:

- All long can an approved I-130 case stay at the NVC?

-We know some people are waiting years to have their cases being processed but we are wondering if any law change or new requirement would impact our case at the NVC?

- Shall we look for a co sponsor asap or it is all ours to decide when we are ready to continue the process and have the best chance to go through without hurdles?

- Shall we pay now the fees (AOS&IV) or wait until we have decided our co-spinsoring path?

Thanks

hi

no new laws or changes in the near future, not for immigration

you will have up to a year since the moment that nvc sends you the request to pay the aos, to send your wife's affidavit of support and evidence plus joint sponsors affidavit of support and evidence

the sooner you get everything done, the sooner you will get your interview and visa
