Yeah, sounds like they told you that to tell you something. Once you submit your AOS and Civil documents i am sure you will have a clearer answer, if its a few weeks for CC or 11 weeks.

its definitely for the long  haul with the NVC part

NVC doesn't provide anything to you directly. You have to be very self-sufficient in this processes. It really all depends on your actions and searching for the information that's already out their. 

The I-864 forms can be downloaded from the official NVC site: https://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/immigrate/immigrant-process/documents/Step_4_Collect_Financial_Documents.html Use the directions on that site for every step of the way. Also, as some have said, use the directions that have been provided at the beginning of this forum.

BUT as far as joint sponsorship goes....who are you using as your joint sponsor? I've recently found out these tips from experience: 
1) A joint sponsor is ONLY considered as a joint sponsor if you do not live with them. In this case, both you and the joint sponsor will file an I-864.
2) If your joint sponsor lives with you, consider them as your "household member." You file an I-864, and the household member files an I-864A. 

Hope that helps!
 

im the beneficiary . .

 

my wife is going to be the sponsor then her aunts(2) will be the joint sponsor  

1 joint sponsor lives with my wife, the other lives in a diff area

Yes, both have to change for a CC.

Hi Ebony, please I have interview date and I need answers for some questions, kindly assist

 

1. Am I going to pay any immigrant fee to the embassy before the interview or is it after?? 

2. Is it compulsory to print all the chats on whatsapp as evidence of communication but we talk most time on phone and skype with my wife and kids

3. Should I expect any document from the embassy before the interview or just start preparing my original/photocopies for the interview?? 

 

Thank you .

Well if you read the instructions they tell you which one to use, the NVC website also has details.

Hi Everyone,

 

Just checking in to the new thread.  No news on our case.  SD 9/14 fingers crossed for CC soon.  I just applied for another Visa so I can accompany my husband to the interview.   I should have gotten a National ID card when I was there..ugh but its ok I got visas before so I don't think there would be an issue.  

 

Hope you are all well!

Really?? my husband thought I had to do it there in Pakistan or the Pakistan embassy in DC which I haven't had time to do.  Can you message me the details?  I'd really appreciate it.   Thanks!

i applied here and got my 10 year NICOP/VISA in about 5 days

 

if this doesnt work for you, you have to go to the closest embassy or send them mail.. i dont think you need to physically go there

 

but get NICOP for sure... you are good for 10 years

Thank you .

1. Payment for the green card would be after the interview.

2. Mine is an employment based case but from what I've seen on here, it'll be nice to have the chats printed out as evidence even though the consular officer hardly ever looks at them.

3. The P4 letter is all you're expecting at this time so if you already have it, you're god to go. Get your medicals done at least 2weeks ahead of your interview, gather originals of your documents alongside photocopies etc..

Other VJ users can validate the information and add as necessary.

my wife is going to be the sponsor then her aunts(2) will be the joint sponsor  

1 joint sponsor lives with my wife, the other lives in a diff area

 Why do you all need two joint sponsors? Does it not reach the income limit with just one?

Also, if you wife lives with one of them then that aunt would be considered the household member and would file an I-864A. 

So, it should look like this:
Your Wife = Sponsor, files I-864

The aunt she lives with = household member, files I-864A

The aunt she doesn't live with = joint sponsor, files I-864

NOTE: That is if the aunts and/or your wife don't fit into the I-864B or I-864C. I don't remember what the requirements for those are, but the details are all on the NVC website. You'll have to carefully read through them to double check.
