I pray it becomes easy. To get transcript now is getting tough. Pulling out people's file is a problem.

I got mine by mail, not everyone qualifies for an online transcript. You can call and request one as well.

When you say digital copies of passport photos, do i have scan them and make it ready as i already have her pics with me. 

 

Provide current paystubs and job letters to show current income. You can provide 2018 W2’s as well.

Hi, Jeet 

 

Sorry for asking direct questions to you but as we are in same boat i thought i could use your help on getting few things straighten up, if you dont mind please share some knowledge.

 

I've petitioned my wife to bring US from India, and i am originally from India US Citizen. So my file has got received in NVC and have to wait few weeks to till case get assigned. Meanwhile what do i need to prepare for?  what are the documents i need to submit and prepare? can you please list if you dont mind for preparing the package? will 2018 year tax should be ok to submit as i have made less in year 17& 16 under poverty guidelines but for the 2018 i've made $32k? Please help me out with questions if you can.

 

Thanks-

Provide your W2’s with your 2017 tax transcript as well. Look at page 11 of this forum for an idea.

Sounds good. If you have someone to use as a sponsor I would use one. Provide your 1099 with your 2017 taxes. You will have to know how strict your Embassy is on income to see if your income will qualify.  I wouldn’t risk it. I would get a sponsor. My Embassy is strict on income even if you meet the guidelines. You still have to submit your tax documents.

Since nvc just received your case, you will have to wait 6-7 weeks to get your case number. Until then, i would assume your 2018 tax return transcript would be available assuming u already filed your taxes electronically.  If not then u will need a co sponsor. Note: tax return transcripts are now mandatory for both petitioner and co sponsor. For civil documents make sure u ask your wife to get police clearance certificate from passport office ahead of time because i know in india, they can take forever with preparing such documents as u know too how india operates....smh....other than that, everything is pretty simple. You can go on nvc website to see what supporting documents you need. Feel free to ask me questions once u receive your case number and invoice id. You can start calling nvc after two weeks they receive your case, maybe they can give u case number over the phone. 

Hi JEET_S,

Can you please let me know what paperwork if any did your wife, have to show at the Passport Office in Mumbai when she had gotten the Police Cleaner Certificate?

Does the I-130 approval notice work if they ask for anything to show why the Police Cleaner Certificate is needed?

Also, how long did you take your wife to receive the certificate from the Passport Office?

Correct! You do not need both of them if one can qualify alone. One I-864a.  It will ask for the individual income, provide that. Use the W2 to show the separate income. 

Hi got a question if I file taxes jointly with my husband and my own income is enough to sponsor my mum does he need to be a joint sponsor? If not needed can I use i-864ez? TIA

You can show your W2’s which will separate your income from your husbands. You can use I-864ez with just your income. Make sure you can answer yes to the 3 questions asked.

Jeet, You think my 2018 transcript should be good enough with $32k income? i am just little worried about Mumbai embassy to give hard time on my income? i dont have any joint sponsor..

This is what I saw, maybe that's why so many people are having issues  IRS pulling out their transcript. NVC will not understand this.

Ok, well just use your current proof of income to show what you are making now along with your tax transcripts and W2’s. Current Paystubs and a job letter also.

I ordered my tax transcript and tax account transcript 2 days ago without a problem. I thought I lost it, so I ordered it again. It takes 5-8 days to come.
