I have written my review above👆

Aww, Sorry @Zee02.. Sucks that you have to wait even longer.  Hope they get the new passport ASAP. Thank you for sharing.

 

Here is the correct link. I've copied and pasted Zee02's review below. 

http://www.visajourney.com/reviews/index.php?trim=no&cty=&cnty=Tanzania&page=1&dfilter=5&topic=

 

My interview was on 07/27/2017 at 8.30. I arrived there at 8.00 and we had to wait in a queue. One by one was alowed to enter. Neither the petitioners nor any family member was allow in with the applicants.

I enter inside firstly had to go through the security check. No envolopes, folders, mobile or purses are alowed inside. All these items are kept by the guards. Once I was inside we had to first go to window number 01 and had in our documents that the lady asks to provide. Then you are asked to sit down till your name is called out. After about an hour and half I was called to go to window number 03. This was where my interview was conducted.

The lady aske me few questions:
1. When did you get married?
2. How did you meet him?
3. Love or Arrange?
4. What does he do in states?
5. Who does he live with?
6. Is this your and his first marriage?
7. Have you ever been to the states?

The whole time she was talking to me she was typing in her computer. Then she asked me to show her some pictures of us. She just went through them quickly and handed it back to me.
Then she tells me that you have a problem with your passport, our system does not allow to read it due to the FNU. My heart just sunk there I was so confused I didn't know what was going on. She said that they can not stamp my visa because of that. I hold an Indian passport but been living in Tanzania since I was 6years old. She told me don't worry this happens with many people and they just get it changed. She asked me to go correct my name and get back whenever I am ready. She gave me a written letter. She kept all my original and photocopied docs with her.

After I came out from there I went to the Indian embassy and handed them the letter and asked them to help me out and they told me there is nothing they can do about it. This FNU is a serious Nightmare.

I didn't give up. I went to the Indian embassy the next day. I requested them to help me out with my situation. And they told me the only way was to re-issue my passport. I went a head with that. It normal Takes 30 days to get a new passport but express takes 15days.

On 07/31 I went to the consulate with my receipt and told them the whole situation. They told me it's okay whenever you have ur passport come with it we will do the needful. I then asked them how long will after I hand in my passport will I receive my visa they said you bring in on Monday and you will get it by Friday.

Now here we go again with the Waiting... it just doesn't end

I am set. Just got my P4 lettter.

@JBMG

First of all... A HUGE CONGRATS!! What great news, we are all so happy for you as you have been nothing but a godsend to all of us!

 

I have a question for you regarding the financial situation. 

Do you know the requirements if you are using assets vs. using income?
I am the petitioner and working in Qatar right now but obviously will be moving back to the states once the immigration is complete... so we just used assets on our documents. 

The NVC approved without having a joint sponsor so now I'm nervous if the Embassy will make an issue out of it or not... 

Do you know the calculation for the amount you should have in assets? 

Hi, I thought it was 3x the amount, but the IO (immigration officer) interviewing us said "the requirement is actually higher if you're not working in the US" but he didn't know what that figure was and said he'll calculate it later, and if there is a problem, then he'll be in contact with the next steps.... Not wanting to risk having to delay the process/ submit more paperwork, I just gave him my joint-sponsor's AOS form.. Unfortunately the computers were down so we didn't experience all the "typing" that so many people have mentioned in their interviews...  This is probably why he said "will calculate later" as he knew he couldn't complete our file at the moment..

 

When I got the following checklist, which from my understanding is a standard one everyone receives if using assets.. I didn't think anything of it.. When i called the NVC to get my interview date, they told me that I received a checklist but it's ok, you can have a joint sponsor, can have several, Just need to bring the AOS forms to the interview..  I explained, but wait, I thought i did qualify, it's over 3x more... She said, well no, it's actually more.. Saying 5x more.. So if your assets are valued 5x more, you should be fine. If not, would def suggest bringing a back up joint sponsor just in case....  

 

Did you receive the following checklist? This is the one I received. 

 

INSTRUCTIONS FOR: JB

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 ______F - FINANCIAL EVIDENCE:______________________________________

We reviewed the Affidavit of Support (Form I-864) and financial evidence you sent to the National Visa

Center (NVC). According to the current poverty guidelines for a household of your size, the income you

listed does not meet the minimum requirement to sponsor the intending immigrant(s) on this petition. If

you provided NVC with proof of assets in lieu of income in order to meet the minimum income

threshold, please note these assets will not be evaluated by NVC and will only be considered at the time

of the visa interview.

NVC will continue working on your case and will schedule a visa interview appointment overseas. If

you have not included evidence of your assets in your submission to NVC, please make sure that you

bring the evidence to the interview appointment. If you do not have proof of assets to meet the

minimum income requirement, we recommend that you seek a joint financial sponsor or a household

member to join you in financially supporting these immigrant family members.

If you choose to add joint sponsors or household members, please have them complete the appropriate

Affidavit of Support form and give it to the visa applicant to submit at their visa interview, along with

supporting financial evidence such as IRS tax returns. Do not send these documents to NVC. During

the visa interview a consular officer will review any proof of assets that you submitted and any

additional sponsorship documents.

Thanks for the info!

No, I didn't receive this or any checklist and I didn't use a joint sponsor so I'm hoping that we are ok? I don't know if I should just have my mom fill out an AOS just in case...? Can she do that? Like my husband could just take it with him in case they needed more? We have assets in the states plus income from a rental property so it seemed like it would be enough according to the poverty guidelines but I don't really want to risk it if it's something that we can prepare for ahead of time.

Thank you!! :) So true what you say... Really grateful that it finally became an option for us.. We'll be celebrating 11 years together in October. We'll also be moving in October. So it's a new start and we hope to start a family via surrogacy and or adoption if all works well.  Thank you so much for your kind words. Very touching. Also I wish you the best. The NVC seems to be processing faster.. I'll be sending you positive energy/vibes in hopes you get that CC ASAP. ;) hugs sweetie! Please keep up the great work on the forum. ;) Love your energy and support you give our VJ community.

Congratulations JBMG,so happy for you and all those who passed their interviews.

Thank you!! :) 

 

Thank you everyone again for all of your support. Being a part of this community has kept me busy and made the entire process a lot easier.. I remember when I started this journey a year ago, I was so overwhelmed and was stressed out about it all.. But I wasn't active at all on the forum until reaching the NVC stage..  We were all at a lost, not understanding a thing on how the NVC processed our cases.. 

 

What I've learned by creating the spreadsheet.... 

 

Using a lawyer does NOT mean you're safe from receiving a checklist. Nor does it allow you to process your case faster. 

CC's timing is based on the country where you come from.. Even though the NVC tells us "they're processed in the order they're received".. YEAH but not everyone is trained to review every country or the language.. So this is why that logic is misleading... 

There is no such thing as "under review".. Well maybe there is but there is no average waiting time when you reach that department.. 

When you start to detest the NVC hold music, you have done one of 2 things if not both...Been on hold too long or have called too many times.. hahahah

Getting a checklist SUCKS!! Out of 254 cases on our spreadsheet, 70 cases received a checklist which delayed their case.. HOPEFULLY your info will continue to prevent future NVC filers from having one.. People have already posted on the forum stating they made corrections to their files based on the checklist feedback!! @trininurse, please keep tagging people onto your forum to share stories about their checklists.. Thank you to all those that received a checklist for all of your contribution. 

 

THANK YOU!!!!!!!

I thank you all for all of your contribution and the creators of VJ!! Without all of us working together, we couldn't have learned what we have learned.. We would have been lost and even more frustrated with the process.. And alone.. It's been so nice to have a community to come to share this experience with. Even though we come from so many countries and visa types, we're a little bee colony working together to reach one goal!! GET THE VISA!!! So that we can be reunited with our loved ones, return home, work in the US and/or start a new life. Keep working away everyone helping newbies and supporting one another through the difficult/good times.. I'll stay around as long as I can and I hope everyone else does too!! Now it's time to dance!!! (oops, out of emojis- only 75 allowed)

BIG HUGZ!!! Wishing everyone GREAT LUCK!!!!

Thanks for the info!

No, I didn't receive this or any checklist and I didn't use a joint sponsor so I'm hoping that we are ok?

I think so.  Because I received one and you didn't.

I don't know if I should just have my mom fill out an AOS just in case...? Can she do that? Like my husband could just take it with him in case they needed more?

Yes, Yes, Yes. This is exactly what we did.

We have assets in the states plus income from a rental property so it seemed like it would be enough according to the poverty guidelines but I don't really want to risk it if it's something that we can prepare for ahead of time. 

Yeah, so bring your mother's AOS form as a backup.. Just make sure you have her w2's and/or 1099's.. passport copy, and a scanned copy of her signature on the AOS form.   If you're all going to be living at the same address, can use i-864a. If not, use the i864.

Case was completed on June 8th and finally got an interview date for September 11. Although I do have a question that I've been wondering for a while now. The beneficiary was deported before. Do you think that the topic will be brought up in the interview ?
