    OK, time to post my case status...I spoke to operator today and was told that I have to send original - marriage certificate, spouse's birth certificate and police certificates.

    Luckily, my wife has already got her police certificates. I will now have to mail them back to NVC next week.

    So we have to send originals to NVC now :-)

    Dunhill, you could send photocopies that were notarized in India to NVC...

    Spoke to NVC again regarding certified copies......

    We should get attested/certified copies from issuing authorities it self!! ....i guess better to send the orginals instead of running around........but at the same time i am worried about getting the originals back safely :unsure: ........lets pary thats is the only way!!

    Hi,

    You can apply for visitor's visa while your petition is pending. But, you would have to disclose while applying for visitor's visa that immigration petition is in process.

    I remember reading a couple getting their visitor's visa coming here before final adjudication of their case in consulate.

    Hope this helps!

    PS: Personally, I wanted to purse this route, but I ended up travelling to India for economical resasons.

    H-1 visa has quota ... and it has Employment Categories.... My wife who is a nurse will qualify for an permanent immigrant visa. Even without my sponsorship my wife will qualify for a permanent resident visa but for India there is a long wait … if I choose to go thorough the H-1 route … it’s faster … but first she needs to pass NCLEX she has applied to take the exam but hasn’t got a date yet.

    I know I have three options to immigrate her

    1. Spouse sponsorship ( 1-130)

    2. H-1 Visa (non profit organizations has separate quotas ex county hospitals)

    3. Employment based permanent visa ( pharmacist, physical therapist, nurses, specialty doctors, speech pathologist …etc will quality) ( long wait for India)

    I was strictly asking about the visiting visa

    Original Civic Documents to be mailed with DS 230? - CR1/IR1 Visa

    in Asia: South

    Yes, my ds-230 has been accepted...but waiting for hear to see if NVC might need originals(hopefully, not!).

    My spouse is in the process of collecting PCC from reginal passport office.

    My DS 230 is yet to be Generated, we had just called NVC asking about the documents and they said we should send all Orginals when we receive instructions for DS 230...anyway waiting for DS 230 instructions & also started gathering all documents including PCCs.

    I know the james shortcut 2.0 is all about generating barcodes...but will NVC accept sending in like that?

    JIGI - don't get upset, you just need to submit all required docs and you will be done.

    I-864

    Hi,

    > Yes, your co-sponsor needs to fill i864A

    > Three years tax filing statements, w2s, etc. are needed

    > yes, if you or your co-sponsor is working than you need to submit recent pay stubs, employment letter similar to i134

    Hope this helps

    plz help

    my husband came to the U.S on a K-3 visa. we are in the processing of completing the AOS packet. I am a graduate student and don't make enough money. regardless, i will fill out the I-864.

    i live with my parents and I will be using their income to fulfill the sponsorship requirement. since my parents file together and I need both of their incomes... do they fill out 2 separate I-864A?????

    Also... how many years of tax papers do we need to provide uscis... i have read conflicting information...some people say 1 and some say 3

    do i have to send in job letters..paystubs like I did with the I-134.

    Also....... can someone confirm for me......WITH K-3 THERE IS NO NEED TO FILL OUT THE ADVANCE TO PAROLE FORM...BECAUSE YOU CAN TRAVEL IN AND OUT OF THE COUNTRY WITHOUT IT........ RIGHT?

    ahhhhhhh this is so hard.

    Hi Dunhill,

    Do you know whether your DS-230 has been generated?

    My DS-230 was generated on Dec 24th. So, I mailed my spouse's DS-230 and photocopy of passport using James 2.0 shortcuts on Dec 27th.

    I received the instructions yesterday. It didn't mention anything about sending original documents....just DS-230 and photocopy of biographic page of passport. But says to submit original documents at visa interview (in our case - VFS).

    Hope this helps, I will keep you posted.

    Cheers

    We called NVC last week and they said that we need to send in all orginal documents except Passport along with DS-230 (part 1 & 2). The same now reflects in their website....any way waiting for instructions for DS230.

    Anybody who got the instructions for mailing DS230 recently, share your experience...

    Goodluck!

    Larry,

    if your beneficary is currently not here in USA, than you would put "N/A" for item # 14 on your I130.

    Hope this helps.

    hi. I hope you can help me on this:

    13. Has your relative ever been to the US.--- YES

    do i need to answer question no.14, even if the beneficiary went back to the philippines.

    D. Other Information

    2. Have you ever before filed a petition for this or any other alien?

    (what does this mean? coz i filed a k1/k2 for my wife and stepson before)

    for some reason , its not just easy to fill up forms, and extremely expensive to hire a lawyer.

    thanks a lot

    Larry

    221 g in INDIA today

    in India

    Hi Jigi,

    I am sorry to hear....hang in there and talk to some immigration attroneys in Mumbai.

    You can try your best by preparing following information:

    (a) get affifavits from both your family members and some friends in India and here in USA, that you are still married.

    (B) just be honest and say to consulate that your wife is not aware of her X's where abouts.

    © Your wife can prepare an affidavit stating her reason for divorce and similar affidavit from her family members should help.

    Like I said hang in there, try not to get upset and do your best. Everything should work out smooth.

    Cheers
