Toujours en attente .. Soumission du 25/29 février Je pense qu'ils ne vérifient plus. Lorsque nous avons appelé NVC , ils ont dit qu'ils faisaient de la formation pour que les DQ de mai / juin soient tirés par eux. Je pense que je devrais peut-être resoumettre afin que ce soit au top ou probablement risqué (nous serons au bout de la ligne). 

they advised you something? I find this situation very frustrating for me to see everyone advanced except me. my priority date is 20 octobre 2017

Pouvez-vous s'il vous plaît laissez-moi savoir une fois que vous obtenez DQ'ed, je prévois de soumettre à nouveau et faire de même.

Yes I will give the good news, I pray for that

Why did you wait for 3 years? MY PD is June 2019. We go approved in USCIS only for 6 months but we are stuck in NVC.

We waited 2 years for the I-130 to be accepted

They told us they can't review our case yet because they're still reviewing Feb 14, we informed them there's a lot of May & June cases that were DQ'ed and they said they are not aware of that. Really frustrating.

I have a question, I know for NVC documents in spanish dont have to be translated, however xo you know if for the interview they're required an english translation?

Note about translation of documents: If your documents are in English or in Spanish, they do not have to be translated for the interview. If they are in any other language they should have certified English translations.

 

This comes straight from the US Guatemala embassy. NOTE, we haven't had our interview yet.

Does anyone know if immigrant visa interviews are country specific when it comes to translating documents? Or does the same apply as it does with NVC where it says, any documents written in english or the language of the country need no translation?

This part was honestly never clear to me. I read everywhere that if the document is in the native language of where the embassy is located, no translations are required. But then I also saw plenty NVC RFE’s for translations. We just translated everything that wasn’t in English to be safe

I came across some links but I guess they were old and it was not so clear. The english part of the instructions said english translation required but then again in the spanish instructions it never mentions about translations but this here confirms it.

I think if it's in a language that doesnt follow the whole A-Z alphabet but instead uses symbols EX. Chinese. then it does have to be translated. For NVC I didn't translate and no RFE for that.

I am preparing all the docs for the NVC stage, Is it mandatory to include bank statements for the petitioner and beneficiary? 

Edit: We have a joint sponsor which fulfills the requeriments.

Nothing is needed for financials from the beneficiary.

The petitioner and the joint sponsor need to provide the signed I-864s and most recent tax transcripts. I also recommend W2s or 1099’s along with those. They’re usually only required when you use returns instead of transcripts, but we’ve seen RFE’s for those every now and then. Bank statements are not required at all. Pay stubs can make sense if current income is much higher than in the last return, but are not a requirement.

Hope this helps. Keep in mind every case is different and one persons experience might not match another’s. I recommend following the NVC guidelines for your country above anything else.

Great, thank you so much for that!!

I emailed the embassy yesterday and got this response.

I'm in the same boat. Talked to a supervisor on the phone every day since June 1st,  and submitted my account transcript showing the fees were taken out. I was told today that a supervisor inquiry can take upto 6 weeks, and that I can't do anymore, I need to be patient, and that calling more won't help anything.
