Hi there, I believe I had to just resubmit my ‘corrections’ pages refilled out in full. Hope this helps! Best / good luck!

(asking for a friend) For reference, she and her spouse were DQ'ed October 13, 2023. Her spouse is in Pakistan. No new updates since. From what we gather it's approx. Three months, no? Thank you in advance for any insight or clarification.

Update for those who are interested: The interview went well! Though I ended up having to mail her original copies of my divorce decree from my previous marriage and our U.S. marriage certificate as they did not accept copies of these documents.

Hello all! Thanks in part to the helpful advice and feedback I've received here, my wife and I are are FINALLY nearing the end of our two plus year visa journey! She has completed her medical exam and is scheduled to do her Applicant Interview this Thursday morning, Nov 30th (Japan time). We are still a little mixed on what exactly is required of her to psychically bring to the interview. The NVC website states, "Every visa applicant, no matter their age, must bring certain documents to the interview, including photographs, and the original or certified copy version of all civil documents submitted to NVC. You do not need to bring your Affidavit of Support or financial evidence you submitted to NVC." Does all she need to bring with her are her sealed official police background check and Family Register (Japanese equivalent to a birth certificate and marriage certificate)? Any insight and further clarification on this would greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance, Michael

Hello, First time posting! I am seeking clarity on an RFE I received from USICS the other day. I received a message, and then letter, stating the following: “FORM I-130A REQUEST The Form I-130 Instructions indicate that the petitions filed on behalf of a spouse must be accompanied by a completed and signed Form I-130A, Supplemental Information for Spouse Beneficiary. Although you submitted the required Form I-130A, it is incomplete and is missing page 4, page 5, and page 6. Submit a fully completed and signed Form I-130A, Supplemental Information for Spouse Beneficiary, for XXXX. If your spouse is overseas, Form I-130A must still be completed, but your spouse does not have to sign Form I-130A.” I believe my mistake was, feeling that the last pages mostly didn’t apply to us, I merely left the fields blank and just stuck a post-it on the pages that read ‘N/A’, along with my signature. Obviously, now I realize that was a dumb move. So now, obviously, I just have my wife refill out the form, write ‘N/A’ in every box and put a ‘0’ for any numerical questions that do not apply to us? For boxes like ‘Interpreter’s Signature’, she just leaves that blank or should she write ‘N/A’ in that box as well? And lastly, for the coversheet that I must mail back on top of completed I-130A, where it says: “Please check the appropriate box regarding if there is a new Form G-28, Notice of Entry of Appearance as Attorney or Accredited Representative, additional fees, additional forms, etc. Please place the new Form G-28, additional fees, additional forms directly under this sheet.” Do I leave those boxes empty or do I check ‘additional forms’ or ‘other’? Thank you in advance so much for taking the time to read through all of this and answering my (most likely incredibly daft) questions!
