I will paste what google translate gave me as translation, so everybody can understand: Question: "Congratulations on the process, friend. I'm going through the same situation! One question when filling out the i-864 form: Your mailing address and your physical address, did you put Chile or the United States? Thanks" Answer: Thank you very much @ManoelSena. So, about the address question, the US citizen (my wife) was living with me in Chile, so her mailing address and physical address were the same, in our Chilean address. She was a resident in Chile since she had lived there for some years, so that makes a difference in the whole process, hence the reason of having to prove US domicile when submitting all the required documentation for NVC process. Wish you success and remember to post in English only so everybody can understand!. Take care.

Well, I can share with you the structure of the document: - First, the sponsors state full support, indicating that they will help us out through the start, so we are able to settle. - Second, they state that they formalized a lease agreement with us to rent us a room in their house (we attached the lease agreement too) - Last item, they add comments about our professional careers and work history. That's pretty much it!

What gave me more information was the email that I got the same day after the interview, with instructions about using the website to choose the post office to send the documents to the embassy. In the end, it was the same way you confirm the date of the interview and choose the post office for documents retrieval. I hope this answer helps!

Thank you very much!. This is how it went: - Jan. 12th we brought the documents to DHL (the official Chilean embassy courier). - Jan. 13th the documents were delivered by DHL to the embassy. - Jan. 30th I got an email saying my documents and passport were ready and being sent to DHL (they provided the track number). Then I immediatly checked the CEAC visa status inquiry website and showed the case as "Issued". So, 17 days. And I remember one day was a holiday in the US, Martin Luther King's birthday I believe. Case was probably approved the prior week but forgot to check the CEAC visa status website.

Hello everyone. Today we received an email saying our documentation was ready to be retrieved at the courier company. So we checked the CEAC visa status check website and the case is shown as "Issued". Thanks everyone!

Hello! What's the usual time for the answer from the CO after receiving the documents at the embassy? I know it may change from country to country, but it'd be nice to have an idea/estimate. For what I've heard, Chile isn't really a busy embassy. Also if anyone from Chile can share would be awesome . Thanks!!

Hi!! Well, we're thinking of sending everything tomorrow. Sadly, the job offer will not be received at least until next week, since the recruiter is going to interview the USC references next monday. We still have email conversations and applications for two different jobs for the USC. In one of the emails, the recruiter says "Looking forward working with you". I have no idea how they evaluate this part of the evidence, but it's logically something very positive to it. The other job wrote "we would like to continue the hiring process in person once you get back to the U.S., with an observation in the classroom". Still, we feel like it's okay to send it tomorrow. VERY SCARY tho. . . I appreciate your time, we'll update as soon as we get an answer from the CO. Does anybody know how much time they take to check everything in the embassy?

The lease has 1 page, it's really simple and short, indicating all the data of course with some rules. Visajourney doesn't let me share a word document here, but it lets me share a PDF, so I'm gonna attach that here so you can take a look. I got this template in a realtor website. It's important that everyone involved signs of course! Hope it helps you out , have a great weekend! Month-to-Month Rental Agreement - Template.pdf

So the interview went pretty well, she's gonna get a form to file to this job and they're gonna send a job offer next week (that's what she was told, so hopefully they do next week!). We're thinking of waiting the extra week to get the job offer and send it to the CO. Feeling more relieved. We're gonna attach everything regarding this job, emails, meeting schedule, the form and the job offer with an explanation of the job opportunity. That's the update for now! thank you everyone, we'll keep you updated

Hello! The document is a formalization of something we already talked about and agreed a long time ago. Yes, it is bona-fide, we are gonna pay money to cover all of our expenses (common services, food, etc) at the house plus a small help to them in a monthly basis. For what I've heard and seen in other posts, it's very common to sign a lease with your parents when adding evidences of US domicile.

Oh yeah, definitely will have it present. So, do you think this would be helpful?

omg, I'm gonna check on that but it seems we're gonna have to go through that, we're not planning on staying for long here in Chile. It's so sad to see how much of a difference it would make . . .hahahahaha omg, I'm gonna check on that but it seems we're gonna have to go through that, we're not planning on staying for long here in Chile. It's so sad to see how much of a difference it would make . . .hahahahaha

Another question: would a purchased flight ticket for the USC help?

You're right! I meant the ROC. My medical examination was november 2nd, and approved 7 days later. The vaccination document with all the details says "date of expiration: Sept. 30th 2024", but I'm aware that the medical exam is good for 6 months, right? It'd be nice to enter with the 10 year GC and not have to go through the ROC process, but I believe the medical exam will expire by then. We're gonna have to go through that tho.
