Only if you don't interview before your NOA2 expires. The petition  approval has an expiration date on the NOA2. If you go past that date, the American has to provide an updated letter of intent to extend the petition past the four months allowed.

Hi Everyone 

 

We are August filer and received our NOA2 in February 9,  I have a questio  Can we complete the form DS-160 without the NVC case number?

 

Thank you in advance and I think this is good post  

Yes, you can. You just need the WAC number from USCIS.

[BVGApeach 288]

Just got off the phone with NVC...we have a case number!! Woop woop 

 

It's still at NVC, but fingers crossed it'll be sent to Bucharest by the end of the week

Case number from USCIS? So instead of NVC number I can put the WAC number? I think I missed something😱

We need a certificate of no marriage if we’ve never been married? Where do you obtain such a document ? ... wouldn’t the most recent tax return prove your status of being single ?

True. However, the Montreal US embassy does ask for marriage certificates, divorce certificates, etc...  If we've never been married or divorced, do we simply check mark it off the packet 3 checklist even if we don't have such certificates?

Anybody, whether in the US or elsewhere, has to earn a certain level of income before they are required to file a tax return. It's based on your filing status....Married, single, joint, etc.

 

In 2016 and 2017, for you with a status Married Filing Separately the cut off is earning equivalent to $4050. If you earned more than that, file a tax return. If you earned less than $4050, you do not file. 2015 was $4000. If you were single for all of a tax year, the amount earned before filing is over $10,000.

 

Your married affidavit of support (I-864) has instructions telling you what to provide instead of a tax return when you were not required by the IRS to file. Read the instructions before trying to do the form.

@Wuozopo thanks for the advice. What if I send the documents to NVC and write a letter that I couldn't pay taxes. Is there a chance they would delay my husband's green card

Have you had a chance to look at the form? Not being snarky, just asking. It only asks for your WAC number. Also, if you feel weird about doing it before you have your NVC number, you can fill it all out and save it (up to 30 days) before submitting.

Thank you for making this thread! I had a look at the DS-160 and was kind of intimidated. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

 

My to do list for papers to secure include:

○ Police Clearance

○ fresh copies of birth certificate 

○ Certificate of No Marriage

○ Transcript of Records and School Diploma (for future use)

 

Is an updated letter of intent to marry mandatory?

Hi

My agency told me that certificate of no marriage is no more needed and the latest K1 VISA instructions doesnt put it on it either,so i didnt collect that one,just want to make sure,do we on earth have to get certificate of no marriage?

Hi Guys,

 

NOA2 date is 02/13/2018.  From what I understand the next step is to start calling the NVC for a number in a few days.  My parnter and myself are both in South Africa at the moment.  Does anyone have any tips for calling via the internet.... SKYPE Calling??

 

Thanks

Hello, I reckon this is country-specific. I'm from the Philippines and it is one of the important docs I hafta get hold of.

Wouter,

 

I've been calling with Skype and it works great. It costs less than 0.02 per minute. My NOA2 was 02/02/2018, and after calling the NVC day after day they were able to tell me they received the case from USCIS on 02/13/2018, but as of yesterday they still have not placed it into their system so that I can receive my NVC case #. They suggested waiting two weeks before they will be able to issue the NVC case #.  Good luck.
