US Immigration from Vietnam

Hi,

I m going through this process now to bring my mom to the U.S. Does my mom need to have the divorce papers for her interview? I find that there are sections in I130 form asking for parent s marriage termination date, but my mom lost the divorce degree. What should I do if My mom does not know that termination day?
thanks for the help

We have finally received our approval notice! what comes next? What can we do to speed up or prepare for the NVC package? Thanks

Hello All,

I submitted my I-129F packet back in early Jun 2020, shortly thereafter I received a receipt saying UCIS have received it.

What is the next step? it's been 5 months and I still have not heard anything yet, should my fianc in Vietnam receive a letter or myself next?

Is there a way to check the status of the I-129F packet?

Thank you all.

Just got home from our interview. We passed.

There were about 80 applicants in the morning group today. I was the only US citizen attending the interview with their spouse, which wasn't surprising since the border has been closed to foriegners since March 22 due to COVID.

The interviewer swore me in along with my wife and her daughter since I was there. Actually I answered most of the questions. The guy interviewing me grew up about 30 miles away from where I live in the US so that didn't hurt I'm sure.

Questions were:

How and when did we meet?

Does daughter have contact with biological father?

Do I live in Vietnam with my wife?

What was your last argument about?

That was pretty much it. No questions for 14 year old daughter. He flipped through photos and said we were approved. Didn't look at tax transcripts or even a copy of 2019 taxes since I can't get a transcript for last year. Apparently someone tried to file for a refund on my SSN so when I filed my taxes online they said they couldn't accept an e-file due to the fraudulent filing and I had to file a paper copy.

My only concern at all going into the interview is that we didn't have a letter from the bio dad saying it's OK to take the daughter out of the country. He's not on the birth certificate and they have had no contact or support since less than one year old. He didn't even comment on that so I'm assuming it's a non-issue.

It was as anti-climactic as I figured it would be since I live here with them. We are moving to US mid-March. Kind of sucks since our 2 year anniversary is April 28 and our medical expires April 19 so we will have to adjust status after two years but whatever. Just glad it's done.

It says:

Quote

* For IV applicants: The petitioner and any joint sponsor must submit a complete and signed Form I-864, Affidavit of Support for each eligible travelling applicant. A photocopy of the petitioner and joint sponsor s IRS tax transcripts and any relevant W-2s must be included. For further information about required financial documents, please click here.
If an I-864 is submitted by a joint sponsor, he/she must submit proof of his/her legal status such as a copy of his/her U.S. Birth Certificate, U.S. Passport, Naturalization Certificate, or Lawful Permanent Resident Card.
If the evidence of support (I-864) has already been submitted to the National Visa Center, you do not need to submit it again at the interview. If not, please be prepared to submit it on your interview date. In some cases, if the evidence of support in file does not meet the guideline qualification, you will be requested to submit other financial documents after your interview.
Photocopies and scanned versions of I-864s and other associated documents are acceptable.

I completed the entire visa process through CEAC and the online NVC where I uploaded all of the financial documents.

Does this mean I do not have to bring my I-864 and tax records to the interview?
