US Immigration from Costa Rica

Hi all,

My son's fiancee is getting ready for her k-1 interview and working through the checklist that the embassy sent her. It's been a long time since my wife and I went through this process, so I don't remember the form numbers. but they mention both the DS-160 and DS-260 forms on the checklist in two different areas. I don't know if it's a typo or what.

• ( ) Each applicant must complete (in English) the on line Form DS 160, Nonimmigrant Visa Application, in the following website: http://evisaforms/state.gov.

When you have completed the form, print the Confirmation Sheet twice, this contains barcodes on the top right and button left side.

• To perform the medical examinations, each applicant needs to bring the DS 260 confirmation form and 7 2x2 inch photographs.

They will contact the embassy but any help would be appreciated in the mean time.

Hello there, my husband was working self employed and he did not meet the requirements 2 of the last 3 year (because the Civid 19) he is more of a cash person and there isn't much proof of income, now He got a new job with W-2 6 months ago, his annual income is above the minimum, but after we filled the i864, they NVC replied to us he did not meet the criteria. So now we don't know if we should file a new i864 with his new job, because only has been working 6 months. Still the last 3 years dont meet the minimum l. We listed our house in US, as an asset to help us meet the requirements. But they seems to be ignoring that part. We still don't have an interview appointment. What should we do now?

My son got his fiance's petition approved in Dec 2022 (mailed Oct 2021).

My question is about the timelines these days for the wait remaining till the interview. The embassy in question is San Jose, Costa Rica.

Thank you.

I recently submitted the I-485 along with credit card authorization for the filing fees. I saw that there was an attempt to charge but Discover blocked for fraud protection it, which I later approved. I saw on the USCIS website that they will not attempt to re-charge the card if this happens.

Will they send the packet back to me or what happens?

To refile can I just send another copy of the whole packet right away rather than wait for some kind of notice saying it was rejected? (I will be paying with check this time.)

Good Morning,

My first post here, I'm wondering, if, when my fiancee gets her interview date, I can visit her in her country and accompany her during the interview.

I'm in the military, and a fellow servicemember from Honduras told me he actually went into the interview with his wife and kids to get their visas. He even pre-bought plane tickets for them, before he knew the results of the interview.

Little background (you can probably see it already in the timeline): My Fiancee is from Costa Rica, we got our NOA1 on 19 Nov 2021, and have heard nothing since.

The Processing times have been going up as the months progress (15.5 months now, was 13.5 months August last year, and around 12 months a few months before)

Anyways, to me, it seems like a good sign to the interviewer if they actually see us together in person.

The only tricky part will be scheduling the leave on a moments notice when we get the interview date (and plane tickets, etc.).

Thanks in advance for your assistance!
