NVC Phase of CR-1 Visa - A Few Questions

[jg121783 3,915]

Hi JG she needs the photo when she goes to medical and her interview 4 photos

Just send what you have

I thought I needed 2 passport photos as part of the IV package. Am I mistaken?

It's not necessary. She just needs the photos for her medical and interview.

I have a question about the form I-864. Part 6 question 2 asks for my annual income. How do I figure that out/ Is that my income from the beginning of the year to now or my estimated income for this year? Other than that I think I have everything taken care of as far as all the other paper work goes. I hope to mail everything out tomorrow before work. On a side note I should have the internet hooked up at the house on Friday so no more driving to town and using my car as my office lol.

If I just take my base weekly pay (minus overtime) and multiply it by 52 is this the best way to answer that question?

[teddy k 35]

Just use your base pay for the whole year

One more question on the I-864. Where it asks for your income for the last 3 years is that the adjusted gross income off my tax transcripts? Looks like I might have enough money to pay all the fees and get the DS-260 done in the next week or so if things work out good. Then I guess after that everything is up to my wife (except I will have to send her money for everything but that is the easy part). What documents should she be getting ready for the interview? Anything I need to send her? Also when should we start thinking about scheduling the medical exam?

Hi JG, just put down what you made totally for every single year. Your wife needs to have all of her original documents like B/C cenom newest NBI with all the AKA she ever used. The DS-260 conformation page. Don't do the medical to like a week before the interview cuz after she gets approved for the visa she will have 6 months to fly to the USA

[Brassballs 47]

Not totally true.

The visa clock starts ticking when the medical is approved not when the visa is granted.

Reason enough to wait until a week or so before the interview date.

Also for JG, SLEC is not really scheduled. Even though you have to register at their site before arriving, the actual med is walkin service not a scheduled date/time.

JG: Ain't this fun??????? 10 pages of dialog. But it looks like you 3 are holding hands well.

Unless your wife has any reason to suspect that she would be asked to undergo a sputum exam, it's really not necessary to get her medical done until a week before her interview... Which means you still have some time to save up for that I only had my husband do his a little early because we were expecting SLEC to find something in his xray.

Hi xmaricrix how's things going with your husbands medical anything new

Hi xmaricrix how's things going with your husbands medical anything new

My husband just had his 3rd day of giving sputum sample today... His pulmo consultation is scheduled 8pm (EST) so I'll know tonight what the results of his sputum smear is. Will keep you guys updated!

Prayers sent

Thanks Teddy! We greatly appreciate it

[xmaricrisx 25]

So here's an update on my husband: he had his pulmo consultation and he was told that his sputum smears were negative (Yay!) He was told to call back on October 19th for the results of his sputum culture; hopefully we don't hear back from SLEC any earlier than that. I'm going to call the embassy tonight and hope that I can schedule his interview for October 24th or 25th.

That's great news to hear grab the earliest one possible
