Congrats! Don’t stress out till 2 weeks pass  

Hi Naes - updates on my visa. Today the case status changed to "Application Received" under NIV. I assume they'll issue the visa soon? Thanks a lot!

@Naes so far, there's no way to know which date NVC is processing?

It really looks so mixed up lately... didn't hear any from may cases yet so I'm think they are still around April 26-27.

I'm trying to get ahead of things here and could use some advice on the I134 (Financial statement)

 

I'm a graduate student and my income is my fellowship (16.6k/year) and an additional Fellowship of 3 years (8k/year). I make an additional 3.3k for summer classes that I teach. My additional fellowship (the 8k/year) is 3 years long and I just finished my second year. I can have my graduate chair write a letter stating my fellowship and what I've made this year but summer employment is not always guaranteed (and he should be able to work by next summer anyway) and my 8k a year additional is only for one more year. 

 

Will I be okay? My taxes for last year are filed and I made 26,506 and should make the same this year. How would you fill this form out in my case?

Your form should match or be close to line #22 on your 1040. That's the line they use to compare to the poverty guidelines. Compare your family size and income to the income stated in the I-864 poverty guidelines here. https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-864p.pdf

Oh I see. It surely is weird that it jumped to Ready instead of In Transit. What did they (NVC call center) say to you before it changed to Ready today? When i called the other day, they said they’re doing finishing touches but still under administrative processing.

Keep in mind that if you are not minoring the status 100% of the time you will miss the update to when it went through each of the stage before issuance. You're probably in the same boat that I am and that is "who cares" as long as it states READY.

 I agree. It’s just that I’m worried because my scheduled interview will be coming soon. 

I got it. Maybe I was just overthinking because I based the timeframe from the member’s experience. 

Hopefully it’s gonna move today or tomorrow. I couldn’t wait. 😞

Trust the process.

Hi guys

Yesssss.. other than the huge needle bruise on my right arm and still painful TD vaccine on left arm it was good.. 

 

And as a person who eats through full check every year, I can say that this check was meant to check only some specific things. 

 

Monday is the day!! I’m toooooo nervous

Great news that you survived the medical. Now the interview is going to be a piece of cake. You'll be in an out of the interview in 10 min. Of course that depend on your answer.  Good luck with interview.

I was told that you can submit the ds 160 even if you haven't received a case number from NVC??

Tomorrow is my medical exam, on the website they said eat before entering but i do know it’s not updated anymore. so, do i need to do fasting? if so, how many hours before?

 

thank you 

 

No fasting needed for the medical. Just eat a big breakfast as it will be a long day. Be sure to bring a sweater to SLEC as they keep the temp near 0 C.

You can submit your DS-160 now so you have that document completed. Make sure you print at least 4 copies of the confirmation page as you will need at least 1 at the interview.
