Oh no. That's worrying. My husband is earning $28000 this year which just makes the threshold for me and my daughter! What are we going to do now?! *PANIC*

My wife makes around $33000 annually (exchange rate is bad right now), we still have a joint sponsor just to be safe. According to our former lawyer, there has been more cases being denied due to potentials becoming public charge in the past year. Whether the information is accurate or if it applies to your case, that's another question. Hope this helps!

Hey guys I just received my visa and my sons but no sealed package .. is that normal?

If your case at the nvc stage was pivot(electronic ), then you wouldn’t get a sealed packet. We didn’t get one cos we were pivot and we had no issues.

question, do i have to pay any other fees after i got CC or at the interview?? I remembered paying two type of fees for NVC before filing DS-260 and submit Civil document

You’re welcome! I had my interview today, and I can now definitely confirm a joint sponsor is needed.

Had my interview today and got approved after three hours waiting dreadfully!!!!! Can’t believe this is the end of a near-two-year limbo (from preparing for I-130 to getting the final approval, the result of having a manipulative lawyer)!!

 

Some tips I learned today by watching other people’s interviews and from my own:

 

1. Get a joint sponsor. I would’ve been denied if I didn’t have one ready.

 

2. If you can’t obtain a required document, find a way to prove its unobtainablity and your attempt. They’ll accept it. 

 

3. Go the extra mile in preparation of your case documents. Even if it’s a 14-page translation. It’s better to be safe than sorry.

 

4. If you need assistance from a lawyer, make sure it’s a good one that does their job. Watch out for potential red flags.

 

5. Not exactly sure if this helped...but I tried to keep our uploaded documents as organized as possible with notes on the content on the CEAC site. The embassy staff seemed satisfied with the result.

 

Do the final check of documents before the interview to make sure you have everything!! 

 

I pray everyone on this thread will get an interview date very soon!

Tokyo. They seem to be very organized and fast with their assigned tasks, as long as there’s nothing missing. Interviews are only conducted on Mondays.
