US Immigration from Dominican Republic

Hello VJ Community,

My case is currently at NVC and every 2+ months since I submitted all my documents, NVC keeps asking me for additional documents (usually under a different category heading and often times, the very "same" documents I have already submitted).

In addition, one of the notes from my last Case FE Review note also made note about my case not meeting the minimum income requirements, despite my AGI meeting the income requirements for my family size (5). Can anyone please provide any guidance or assistance or analysis on what might be happening here? Honestly, I suspect these may be generated "generic" responses, but I really have no way to know with any certainty.

For this FE Note, I have summitted 3 years of Transcripts with the following years and AGI:

2017: $3,875 (I migrated to the US in October of this year, so I didn't really start earning much income)

2018: $9,575.00 (I filed incorrectly, but my AGI should have been: $38,200, but never refiled)

2019: $41,032

NVC's calculator (https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition/affidavit-of-support.html) says 125% of poverty guideline is $38,350. So I'm puzzled why I would get this note/warning. Any ideas?

One of the other FE Review note states: "Please submit proof of Vincent's current employment. For more information, visit https://nvc.state.gov/fin." What I don't understand is, I'm self-employed and have filed my taxes as such for the last 3 years, so why are they asking me to provide proof of my "current employment"? How can a self-employed person provide proof of employment when the very category of employment is "self-employment"? Can someone please explain what exactly they are asking of me?

Lastly, here is a screen shot of one of the "Incomplete" section from one of my applicants that the system is asking for additional documents, that were already provided:

You can see they previously "accepted" my applicant's photograph in Feb 13, and now they are saying photograph is missing, but under a different label or category. Has anyone experienced this before, what's the meaning of this? Why do they keep asking for documents (in this case, a photo) which one can clearly see they already have received? It's very puzzling and frustrating.

Any help I can receive from anyone who may have a better understanding on what's going on would be greatly appreciated? Thanks in advance.

Hi Everyone!

I want share what I sent to my Senators and Congress Representatives in the state of NJ. I am sharing with the community. Because if we all reach out to our elected officials this can get some visibility and traction. Please feel free to use below as an template or if you have a similar email you want share with the community. Critical mass is the only way we can see any type of positive change.

my husband did not apply

for the AP when he sent in his AOS. is there anywhere is can still outside of the 50 states while we wait?

Hi guys,

All in the title. My fianc and I were thinking about the tourist visa because he has been having trouble getting medical attention due to overcrowding and general pandemic pandemonium in the DominicanRepublic.

He needs to have surgery on his leg and its proven difficult. I started looking into the B2 and it does say if you have a medical reason you can apply. He can get plenty of medical evidence.

My question is can you apply while you are awaiting processing of a K1 visa?

Will having a K1 visa hurt your chances of approval?

He does not have many ties to the country. He has a son and no property under his name except his car. Bank account with not much in it. Medical bills have been pretty crazy.

Thanks in advance!

VisaJourney members,

This is an official ongoing thread for people to post petitions related to changes in current immigration policies, procedures, laws, and executive orders. Since there have been an uptick in petitions for change in immigration, either due to COVID-19 or other means, the moderation team feels it would be best to have all of the posts and links in one thread. The benefits to having all the petitions in one thread is more oversight, more collaboration, easily accessible, and better maintenance.

When posting in this thread, please follow these rules:

• Please only post petitions from official petition sites (no blogs, forums, or social media links).
• Please post full links to the petition.
• Please provide a brief description of the petition. Be as clear and concise as possible in the description.
• Only post petition related information as described above. Posting replies such as "I signed it." will add clutter to this thread.
• Please do not post frivolous petitions.
• Please do not oversolicit or badger members to participate in the petition.
• Keep things civil.
• No solicitations for donations or private information (names, phone numbers, etc).
• No political banter or ranting.

All posts not adhering to this thread's rules and/or not petition related will be removed.

Thank you,
