Hello everyone, my dad filed for my married sibling in 2011. In sep 2024, they were requested to submit Aos and the rest of docs. they just submitted AoS and the rest of documentation. One sibling received today documentation qualified email. how long will it take to get interview date after docs been qualified? Also, this petitioners income was not enough but assets, cash for petioner and applicant was way more than enough to meet income guideline. Statements for 12 months were uploaded. Before qualifying docs, they sent email to consider adding joint sponsor and have prove of all assets for interview consular. Now that docs r qualified, and assets cash is more than enough to support everyone. Do we still need joint sponsor? country:pak @appleblossom

Affidavits from close relatives confirming details of their marriage

I tried converting pdf to word doc and then back to pdf and it worked. Btw, i used ilovepdf website

According to my knowledge, You need a correction on our birth certificate and it can be done by showing your mother’s passport or proof of any other id. After correction, get an updated birth certificate of yours with original and translation, if not in English. Do that before you submit i-130 and attach updated BC with i-130 as a proof of relationship. Good Luck!

We struggled for several days. Even though size and type was correct, it still didn’t work. then i tried different things and it worked. first https://www.ilovepdf.com/ this website helped to compress the file or to charge format another time, hand filled i864 didn’t upload and had invalid image or no image detected error. Then I typed online application and insert signature through adobe and it worked fine. I was able to upload in seconds. I sometimes also took picture and upload instead of pdf. Renaming the file and saving it also helped. All of the above is experience with several cases. just so you know, nvc has an alert about it too. i hope it helps

In ur case, Try different browser I take picture and upload instead of pdf.

Agree! my dad applied for married kids and grandkids were 1 and 6 back then. Some did not have kids back then and had kids after application approval. Application i-130 took 15 years to approve. When visa became available, those 1,6 years old kids were 16 and 21. Because i-130 took 3 years to approve, 21 year old was protected under law and the rest of the kids were still under 18. after approval and before visa became available, we always sent the birth certificates of new born children to NVC to add them as derivative. And the ones born after visa became available, we added them ourself online as there is an option to add derivatives in your online account.

With 2 separate petitions, If both are immigrating and planning to enter US at the same time then I would answer YES if both are planning to enter at different times or you are unsure about the plans, I would answer NO to avoid complications and confusions

Thank you

For immigrant visa, Do we need to submit police certification from Pakistan?

Agree with Boiler!

Does petitioner, your sister, does not have enough income to support you? if not, she can use her husband’s income to support you. Your sister will fill i864 and her husband will fill i864A, and combine income. After combining if they both still don’t make enough income according to poverty guidelines, they will need a joint sponsor. Your mother can be a joint sponsor if her income is enough to support you. Joint sponsor will fill i864. I hope it helps!

As i shared the link earlier, here is the information from state department “Can the immigrant visa applicant count assets that he or she owns that are outside the United States, such as real estate or personal property? Yes, under the following conditions: The assets must be convertible to cash within 12 months. The applicant must show that the assets can be removed from the country where they are located. Many countries have limits on cash or liquid assets that can removed from the country. The net value of assets must be at least five times the difference between the sponsor's income and 125 percent of the poverty guideline for the household size. The visa applicant needs to file a Form I-864A to have his or her assets included in the minimum income level calculations.” Also….. from instruction of i864 Part 7. Use of Assets to Supplement Income (Optional) Only complete Part 7. if you need to use the value of assets to meet the income requirements. If your Current Annua Household Income (indicated in Part 6., Item Number 15. is equal to or more than needed to meet the income requirement as shown by the current Federal Poverty Guidelines (Form I-864P) for your household size (indicated in Part 5., Item Number 8.), you do not need to complete Part 7. If your total household income does not meet the requirement, you may submit evidence of the value of your assets, the sponsored immigrant's assets, and/or assets of a household member that can be used, if necessary, for the support of the intending immigrants. The value of assets of all of these persons may be combined in order to meet the necessary requirement. Only assets that can be converted into cash within one year and without considerable hardship or financial loss to the owner may be included. The owner of the asset must include a description of the asset, proof of ownership, and the basis for the owner's claim of its net cash value. You may include the net value of your home as an asset. The net value of the home is the appraised value of the home, minus the sum of any and all loans secured by a mortgage, trust deed, or other lien on the home. If you wish to include the net value of your home, then you must include documentation demonstrating that you own it, a recent appraisal by a licensed appraiser, and evidence of the amount of any and all loans secured by a mortgage, trust deed, or other lien on the home. You may not include the net value of an automobile unless you show that you have more than one automobile, and at least one automobile is not included as an asset. Item Numbers 1. - 4. Assets. To use your own assets, you must complete Part 7., Item Numbers 1. - 4. and submit coresponding eviden with this afide it. Supporting evidence must beatached to establish location, ownership, date of Item Numbers 5.a. - 5.b. Household Member's Assets. To use the assets of a relative (spouse, adult son or daughter, parent, or sibling), the relative must reside with you and have completed Form I-864A with accompanying evidence of assets. Form I-864A and accompanying evidence of assets is submitted with Form I-864. You may use the assets of more than one relative who resides with you so long as you submit a complete Form I-864A with evidence of assets for each such relative. 501-8041rucOn2022 Page 9 of 17 Item Numbers 6. - 9. Assets of the Intending Immigrant. You may use the assets of the intending immigrant regardless of where he or she resides. The intending immigrant must provide evidence of such assets with this affidavit. Add together Item Numbers 6. - 8. and type or print the total number in Item Number 9. Form I-864A is not required to document the intending immigrant's assets. Item Number 10. Total Value of Assets. In order to qualify based on the value of your assets, the total value of your assets must equal at least five times the difference between your total household income and the current Federal Poverty Guidelines for your household size. However, if you are a U.S. citizen and you are sponsoring your spouse or child age 18 years of age or older, the total value of your assets must only be equal to at least three times the difference. If the intending immigrant is a foreign national orphan who will be adopted in the United States after he or she acquires legal permanent residence, and who will, as a result, acquire citizenship under section 320 of the INA, the total value of your assets need only equal the difference. Example of How to Use Assets: If you are petitioning for a parent and the poverty line for your household size is $22,062 and your current income is $18,062, the difference between your current income and the poverty line is $4,000. In order for assets to help you qualify, the combination of your assets, plus the assets of any household member who is signing Form I-864A, plus any available assets of the sponsored immigrant, would have to equal five times this difference (5 x $4,000). In this case, you would meet the income requirements if the net value of the assets equaled at least $20,000.
