US Immigration from Japan

Good morning. My husband (US Citizen) applied sent in I-130 back in 2019 for his sister (Japanese citizen). Yesterday, he received an email that they assigned a new receipt number to the case. Does this mean anything regarding movement on the case? It seems pretty fast. Why would they assign a new case number? Thanks for any insight you can provide, Google searches are turning up empty.

Hello VJ folks,

We are on NVC stage now and collecting the required documents.

We've encountered an issue with our most recent tax transcript our CPA mistakenly filed it under "SINGLE" status instead of "married filing separately."

Unfortunately, this version has already been uploaded to the IRS system.

We have submitted an amended version to correct the error and IRS has received it.

However, it may take up to 16 weeks for the amended version to appear in their system.

Given this situation, is it going to be a problem if we submit the current tax transcript (filed as "single") as it is?

Or should we wait until the amended version is reflected in the system?

Or is it acceptable to submit the current version along with a letter explaining the CPA's mistake and noting that an amended return has been filed?

Thank you in advance for your help and advice!!

Hey all! We finally made the interview stage, just as I was giving birth later half of February. Husband's interview is the end of this month, and we scheduled my baby's report and proof of citizenship before so he doesn't count as an immigrant.

Out of precaution, because I don't have working history for 2024 and nothing to count for a 1099 per Twitch, I had our joint sponsor send me his 2024 info just in case. It shouldn't hurt to bring that and kiddo's birth report right?

We are currently collecting documents to submit on nvc website.

Our household size is 3 including my husband who is a petitioner, me as beneficiary and our son. Our son was born in the states so my husband is only sponsoring me.

When I look up poverty guidelines on USCIS website, it says household size of 3 (125% of HHS poverty guidelines) is $33,312. This number $33,312 is referring to the total income on your Federal Tax Return? Or can we use total wages ?

If anyone could inform us, that would be great! Thank you.

Hellox, I made an expedited request due to family health emergency through the NVC expedite email after my DQ, and I got a reply from the embassy in Tokyo. The request is quite vague. Are they requesting documents pertaining to the applicant or petitioner? I (petitioner) sent a letter to the NVC on behalf of my spouse.

Documents A and B isn't possible if it's pertaining to the applicant becuase my spouse has no SSN. Also we both reside overseas and still using the national health insurance in Japan. I'm not employed at the moment and we used a co-sponsor. Any thoughts on what I should upload? We are in a pinch right now, and we just needed to move our interview date closer.

"Thank you for your request.

Please provide us the following documents.

a) A scanned copy of job offer or contract in the United States.

b) A scanned copy of health insurance in the United States.

c) Any other proof of financial support/mean in the United States.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

IV Unit"
