I filed Green card petition for my parents and Back in February 2024 National Visa Center informed me that they received all documents and fees regarding my parents' case and now they will transfer the both cases to the Islamabad embassy for interview to be scheduled. Since then we have been waiting. Do you guys have any idea how long does it take for Islamabad embassy to call for an interview for a green card petition?

Hello, how is everyone? I am US Citizen. I was informed a few days ago that my parents' cases have been concluded at NVC and next steps are to transfer cases to Islamabad Embassy? Can you tell me the time it takes NVC to transfer the case to the Islamabad Embassy? Can anyone tell me how long it takes to schedule an interview at the Islamabad Embassy approximately?

Hello, I am a US Citizen and have filed I-130 for both of my parents, which were approved a few months back now I am assisting my parents to fill out their DS-260. There are a few confusing questions. Please assist me in answering these questions 1-is your spouse immigrating with you? 2- "Is your spouse immigrating to the U.S. at a later date to join you? 3-Is your child immigrating to the US at a later date to join you? Now the reality is that I would like my parents to be interviewed on the same day and travel to the US together if the visa is granted so how should i answer these questions? Lastly, the fact is that my parents once arrive in the US then they will file for my siblings and their four children. They all are above 21 years of age. Please let me know how should we answer these questions.

My Uncle is going to be the joint sponsor for my parents green card petition. Both petitions are at NVC stage right now. My uncle is retired, but he is also a franchise owner. So my question is that on his form I-864 should he select/pick both options "retired and self-employed"? In his situation, what kind of documents should he include apart from his most recent IRS tax returns? His situation is tricky and confusing for us, but at the same time I don't want us to make any mistake while submitting everything to NVC. Can you please advise us in detail what to do?

Thank you guys. I am sorry I failed to include some important information in my earlier question. The fact is that My uncle is retired, but he is a franchise owner. So my question is that on his form I-864 should he select/pick both options "retired and self employed"? In his situation, what kind of documents should he include? His situation is tricky and confusing for us, but at the same time I don't want us to make any mistake while submitting everything to NVC. Can you please advise us in detail what to do?

Hello, I have few questions. My parents green card petitions were approved by USCIS few months ago. Now in order to move the case from NVC to the embassy, We are required to submit further necessary documents. My uncle is going to fill out paperwork as only joint sponsor for both of the petitions. My uncle is a franchise owner. What kind of documents should he provide and submit other than his IRS tax returns?

financial requirement I-864 or I-864 a
zafi replied to zafi's topic in Bringing Family Members of US Citizens to America
Thank you guys for making things clear. Which form should my father-in-law should sign I-864-A or I-864? Our problem is that we don't make enough to meet financial requirements. -
I have filed green card petition for my parents. I have a few questions and concerns. My spouse and I file taxes each year together as a couple, but our annual income does not qualify us to sponsor them, as a result I have decided to request my father-in-law to sponsor my both parents. We live with my father-in-law at the same address. My father-in-law makes more than enough to qualify as sponsor for both my parents. Can my Father-in-law sponsor my parents? Should he fill and sign I-864 or I-864 A? Should we go ahead with him being as a sole sponsor since he makes more than the required threshold? Should I also fill and sign I - 864? Should my spouse also sign I-864 A since we fill taxes each year together as a couple?

Hello guys, I have few questions regarding uploading documents for the AOS section on CEAC. How should I upload I-864 and I-864 A?. Do I need to upload them as 2 separate forms under one category "Affidavit of support form"? Are you suggesting filling them out and putting them in one folder before uploading them under category "affidavit of support form"? Should I upload W-2 and 1099 under " Additional supporting document"section? Should I upload them one by one or put them in one folder before uploading them under "additional supporting documents"? My spouse works as independent contractor how should I upload her license and business agreements? Should I put them in one folder before uploading them under "additional supporting documents"? I Apologize for any kind of inconvenience. -
Hello guys how are you? I paid an AOS fee for my mom and dad cases a few days ago. Tanscations went through smoothly and I noticed that money was withdrawn from my bank account, but the website / system still does not give option to upload financial documents. Additionally, on NVC website payment status still. Being shown as "in the process".Can't we upload documents separately for AOS and IV process? Do you guys think that the way system/process works, we need to pay for both "AOS and 'IV process" first before system allowing us to upload documents for both categories? I was trying to pay and upload documents for AOS first, but so far website says "payment in process"

My parents I-130 have been approved now when I log into CEAC then it asks for two separate fees one of the AOS and second is for an IV processing fee. I would like to pay an AOS processing fee first and submit its related forms and documents, then pay for IV processing fees and its related documents and forms. Is that going to create any problem?

Thank you guys. My spouse works as an independent contractor as a result, she does not have W-2 but she has 1099. Is that going to be acceptable by NVC? Just submitting IRS transcripts, 1099 from my spouse along with my W-2 is that going to be sufficient? Do we need to submit W-2 only from the year 2022? Do we need to submit pay stubs as well? -

Hello, guys my parents live in Pakistan and there I-130 is approved by USCIS recently.I am sponsoring them for green card. Now my question is that what are next steps when we reach at NVC stage? Can anybody share their experience or explain step by step? I have few questions. I and my spouse both have been filing taxes together as married couple every year. I have part time job and my spouse work as independent contractor. Do we need to submit two separate affidavit of support to NVC one signed and filled by me as sponsor and second one filled and signed by my spouse? Should we submit I-485? Do we both need to submit our W-2 the fact is that my wife works as independent contractor she does not have W-2 so what should we do to overcome that? How many W-2 do we need to submit just one or multiple years? Do we need to submit my parents police clearnce certificate to NVC? Other than Police clearance certificate what other civil documents do we need to submit to NVC? How much time does NVC take to approve documents & payments to finally send case to islamabad embassy? How long approximately Islamabad emabssy is taking to process/grant IR-5 visa to parents?
