NVC Filers - January 2019

[Bengoj 133]

I have a question. I know I’m a bit early but I filed on October 2018 for I 130. If it gets to NVC stage before April 15th (which is when 2018 taxes are due by) do I just have to send transcripts for 2015,16 and 17 only?  Or if it’s before 4/15 are they expecting me to submit 2018 tax return??  Just being proactive here because in 2017 and prior years I made enough to meet qualifications for AOS but 2018 I don’t know because I traveled soo much to see my spouse in his country. Just asking if NVC stage is before April 15, can I just submit taxes for 2017 and prior since 2018 will not be due and late afte 4/15/2019. Thanks

Good Morning! I’m hoping for a little insight.  I just called NVC just to see if a case number had been assigned and was informed that the case is now in administrative processing. To be in administrative processing even before being assigned a case number can’t be good. It also seems as though (from reading the experiences of others) this process can last months. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi any idea, how much time it takes to get the IL  for India? and what is the latest date on which the interview has already been assigned?

You will still have to submit 2018 to your Embassy. I would be prepared by having a Co-sponsor because your current income is important. Paystubs and job letters will help to prove current income.

I’m going to send my 2018 tax return with W2’s, because a transcript will not be available. 6 month of paystubs and job letters should be more than enough.

This is a normal process at NVC. All cases go through AP. It is after the interview that AP can take a long time depending on why the case was placed on AP.

Okay, thanks so much for the reassurance.  

 

This entire process is pretty stressful and can make a person quite paranoid. 

 

Are you thinking it shouldn’t prolong the process by much then?  I guess I should be happy that they are even reviewing my case seeing as the received it only 1 week ago.

That’s what I was thinking...Lol I would just be so happy someone at NVC was looking at my case. My case was received on January 22nd, so I’m right there with you. It won’t delay your case. They do security checks and a lot of other checks at the NVC level.

Congratulations!!!! How did they want your W2 uploaded, where the words are Horizontal and the paper is vertical? Thank you. 

Yes. As long as it is upright and can be read left to right you'll be fine!

Awesome! That’s what I was hoping to hear...that it’s normal. Thanks again...I think I was assuming that I would hear, ‘give us 8 weeks to assign a case number’, but to learn that not only are they are already reviewing but it is in administrative processing threw me off a bit. I’ll give a call in a couple of weeks and see how it goes. 

 

Hope you hear something soon...
