Hi folks. I asked a question this morning, but I seem to have found my answer to that one. If you'll allow, I've got a new batch. We received approval for our I-130 and a letter from the embassy dated 17 July and 20 July. I found the CEAC website, typed our case # in and got this:

 

U.S. Department of State
IMMIGRANT VISA APPLICATION

Ready

Immigrant Visa Case Number:	BNK2017XXX001 XX BNK
Case Created:	20-Jul-2017
Case Last Updated:	27-Jul-2017

 

Your case is ready for your interview when scheduled at the U.S. Consular section. If you have already scheduled an appointment for an interview, please prepare your documents as directed in your appointment letter and appear at the consulate on the appointed date and time. Otherwise, please wait until you have been notified of your interview appointment. Additional information about how Immigrant Visa interview appointments are scheduled can be found at: http://nvc.state.gov/interview

For more information, please visit TRAVEL.STATE.GOV.

 

I take it this means we can step on it and get our paperwork ready?  Our D-260 has been submitted online.

We feel like there must be some fees to pay, but can't get anything to come up. We've created a file at https://cgifederal.secure.force.com/ but can't get into fee paying section.

My wife will need police clearances from Thailand, Singapore and Laos, as we have lived in these places over a year. If anyone has any experience with getting one from Laos, we'd love to hear from you.

Our income is all investment/savings from U.S. We are well above the required amount and have monthly statements starting in January 2017 to show this. If you used only this option, we'd also like to ask how you proceeded.

I haven't needed to file taxes for the past three years as I earned under the minimum amount, but can file the 2016 if needed. Again if you have had a similar experience, we'd like to know what you wrote/ how you dealt with the issue.

I've not lived in America since... 1994, though I was back for 6 months in 2000-2001. Anyone out there who can give advice on showing domicile? I have accounts, family, and maintained MD residence throughout if that helps. I have my sister in FL and she is happy for us to use her address. We could get a rental contract, to show we are planning to move, as well as paperwork for allowing our pets to migrate as well.

We have a 9 year old son, who we hope to have in school in America as soon as possible, but our main goal is to be together. We don't want to be split up with two of us going ahead, and wife stuck here, should that be relevant

We appreciate the help we've received and look forward to hearing from you if you are able to help. Sorry we are so disorganized, but we really had no idea how quickly we'd be approved or what we were getting ourselves into!

Hello! We are on the same route.  I am a filipina working in Phanga as an English teacher, my husband(the USC) is here with me and our son since 2013.  We got married in 2014 and DCF Nov 2016.  I wasnt using the CEAC then , only now that I am waiting for my visa approval.  I had my interview in June 6 but got 221g for household member form which I overlook.  I thought I was very prepared after almost a year of reading posts in here.  Everything was fine except that my husband has 0 income, he's here on a Non-O visa so since 2013 he doesnt have income which we got non filing verification in IRS(no Problem).we got 2 joint sponsors, my husband's parents and my auntie.  On the interview, they asked me to just pick one sponsor so I picked my auntie.  The only problem was because my aunt's taxes was filed with the husband then he needs to sign the I-864A form(household member consent).  Anyway, about the domicile/re establishing domicile, I prepared a separate folder just for that.  Some people here would say just  do either or but I presented both.  First part was Establishing domicile and here is my list;

1.  proof of existing bank account/bonds (I just printed an e-notification) because my husband is not using it but its still open.

2. mail/correspondence/any subscription that goes to his address.(i chose random mail from 2013-present)

3,.His expired drivers licence (then later on in the 2nd part which is re establishing domicile, i included a mail/correspondence for his license renewal)

4. his concealed weapon license

5. Photos of his vehicle under the care of his parents

6. Storage receipts(where he put most of his stuff when he got out of the military)

 

Re-stablishing Domicile

1. Lease agreement with parents (i got the format here which is not so formal)

2. Inquiry for my son's schooling

3. Inquiry my husbands education because he's planning to study again using the GI bill

4. Inquiry about renewing licence in the state of kentucky...eventhough we know the answer, we inquired anyway just for the proof that we contacted them.

5 quote for my husbands vehicle insurance

6. we applied for a new credit card...we just printed it(its a blue bird prepaid card) we dont even have the card in hand, just the confirmation page

7. Quote of shipping company here in Thailand.

8.  I even showed my son's CRBA(photocopy but bring the orig) and uS passport. (to show that we are intending to move as a family this year.)

 

If you need more help, I can send you the exact cover letter..Ill look for it.  

God bless you guys....
