NVC Filers - September 2016

[goblin 26]

SCAN Date 15. August

CC Date 9. September

25 days is very good, since I got the 30 days email first and on the phone they told me 4-6 weeks. So I was expecting it to be longer till CC.

p.s.: since I am EB1 I am EXEMPT from Affidavit of Support and it never changed to N/A.

which form do i fill out for aos for sponsor beuase i have low inconme if i want to use a house hold memeber like my dad what form do i need to fill out

[JFH 12,189]

I-864 for you, even if you make zero income. Your dad is only your household member if you claim for him on your taxes. Household member doesn't just mean living at the same address. Your dad will be a joint sponsor and will need his own I-864.

thanks trhen with is i-864a for

thanks trhen with is i-864a for

That would for your dad's wife if he is combining income with her to reach the required amount. If your dad does not have a wife and/or earns enough to act as joint sponsor by himself, no I-864A is needed.

So we have called and emailed both NVC and USCIS - not yet received by NVC and USCIS can't explain where documents currently are

[MKCAS 1]

Already 2 weeks and we haven't receive our MCN.

Have any of you received mail from NVC? Or is everything actually thru email?

Actually that is not true. I864a is a contract between main sponsor and a household member.

If your dad is going to be the sole person, who is residing with u then he needs to file i864a since u will be using his income.

Here is expert from i864a from instructions:

" Who May Be Considered a Household Member for Purposes of Form I-864A? For purposes of this contract, a household member is: 1. A U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, or U.S. national relative who has the same principal residence as the sponsor and is related to the sponsor as a spouse, adult child, parent, or sibling; 2. A U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, or U.S. national relative or other person whom the sponsor has lawfully claimed as a dependent on the sponsors most recent Federal income tax return even if that person does not live at the same residence as the sponsor; or 3. The intending immigrant, in certain circumstances. (See the How Can the Intending Immigrant Be Considered a Household Member section of these Instructions.)"

It can be any of the three. Also here is another helpful site on this.

I used my brother to help me so I did i864a with him. My case passed and I am waiting for an interview now.

After reading this stuff about the i864a, I am now really confused and worried whether we have our paperwork right. We're going to be sending it off today.

My husband lives with his parents. As he doesn't make enough, his father will act as joint sponsor. Because they live together, his dad has filled out an i864-A. Does he need to do his own i864 as well???

If ur husband is the sponsor then he has to do i864 regardless of if he is making enough or not.

Quoting myself...Just called NVC to check and they said his dad only needed to do the i864a!

Hi Mandb, I called NVC just now and they guy confirmed that they received our case yesterday. Did you receive any email or SMS from USCIS that they already forwarded your case to NVC? We got an email last week that they just forwarded our case September 8 though we were approved August 9 so from then we've been calling the NVC everyday since Monday.

I'm a newbie, but we just sent our I-130 in. I guess I join the ranks of those who are waiting!

This thread is for people who are in the NVC stage which is the stage after the I-130 is approved. By all means stick around and pick up some hints and tips on this part of the processs in readiness but you might also went to join the September I-130 thread for specific information about your current stage in the process.

Good luck on your visa journey. Hope it's quick and smooth!
