They should give a reason. Call and ask them.

Who do I call? NVC, the embassy, who? I feel so lost.

Oh wow...at least an explanation will have provided you info on the next step to take. Keep calling if you can. Hopefully it doesn’t take long

I just don't know who to call at this point.

Call the embassy and if they do not allow calls, send an email. The case will still be at the embassy now. Did they take any of his documents or gave him any paper?

Hello everyone,

 

I am sorry to ask - we received the case number on Thursday and I was able to pay both fees immediately. As of Friday, they are no longer pending on your bank account and have been deducted. I was hoping it would show PAID on the ceac site today. How long does it usually take? We are a pivot case.

 

Sending you all a big thank you for all the awesome help we have so far received!

I think my husband was very nervous and they made him do the interview in English. And between being nervous snd his english being mediocre it was not a good mix. Neither one of us have any history, no criminal records... nothing! It is devastating!

In my case, my wife’s brother was the joint sponsor and he filed i864a for me since my wife’s income was not sufficient as she is with me here in India. In your case, if the combined income of your husband and his mother is comfortably above the 125% of the poverty limit for your household size, then it is not required to get any more additional support. Eg: limit according to the guideline is 35k and the combined income is 45k. If it is only slightly surpassing the threshold amount, it is better to get an additional affidavit from your hisband’s dad too. I hope it helps :) 

Just a random question, isn't the guideline around 25K for household of 3? Because that is what I remember seeing somewhere. I tried to look up now and according to this website it says actually 20K for the same household number. When you say 35K how did you get that?

 

Thanks!

Okay that’s not bad then. They sometimes put people in ap if they have not finished with some of the checks that the embassy need to do before the interview. They normally don’t give reasons for that so don’t lose hope yet. It might not be as long as the 9months stated.
