  2. Cookie88 started following I-864EZ and Uploading new/updated police certificates to CEAC(NVC) before interview?
  3. Cookie88
    The DOS website states NOT to upload any new/updated police certificates to NVC. I know they tend to contradict their own rules at times, so I wanted to confirm on here as per everyone's experience with this process. I have renewed police certificates so that they are valid on the date of the interview, do I not upload these to NVC then? I don't want them delaying my visa on the basis that they need the new ones uploaded to the portal first. Secondly, the same page stating the above also says not to bring the AOS/financial evidence submitted to NVC - is that accurate? I thought applicants were required to bring a copy of the signed AOS form and the financial evidence to the interview?

    Yep. Same happened to me on the address/social page. Not sure why they lumped that all under one screen when they have restrictions on saving and being logged out. In the end I wrote up everything separately in a doc so I just had to copy paste it over, so that I was quicker inputting data. I also did not click on 'next address' or 'next social handle' (or whatever the phrasing is) each time, instead I would pretend I'm done and click next so that it saved.

    We got our IL’s today. For those who are trying to keep track: DQ’d: 7th March IL received: 17th March Interview Date: 30th May.

    Look under your payment receipts page and click against the processing transaction. Check there's a number next to the 'transaction ID' field. If it's blank, it's going to keep your status as 'processing' for a few days before releasing it to 'rejected' status and making you submit again. I had this happen to me. It effectively blocked me from trying to re-submit my payment until they cleared the failed form from their system to rejected. Their system never even processed the form properly as there was no transaction ID against it, so I knew it was going to need to be re-done when they allowed me to.

    It doesn't take months to reroute. When you get approved and get your welcome letter by the NVC, just submit a request through the NVC inquiry form. Do not pay fees or do anything else before this. They'll respond in 2 working days.

    Let us know when you get the IL please! No one's been reporting anywhere on any platform as of late Jan so it's been hard to track current timeline. I was DQ'd on 7th March so I'm just a week behind you.
  15. Cookie88
    It was only taking two weeks for an IL from end of November to end of January. But haven’t seen any reports of an IL since end of January so it’s been hard to gauge what the timeframe is right now! When did you get DQ’d?
  16. Cookie88
    Did anyone who got DQ’d in February get an IL yet?
  17. Cookie88
    @Josh B K Did you get DQ'd yet? If so, what was your timeline from submission of docs to getting DQ'd?

    Thank you! Yes, I had my husband start filling out the regular I-864 after my last post on this thread. I figured it was better to be safer than sorry with a potential RFE. Thank you for clarifying household size. I read so many things online on how my I-864 would only show 2 people, myself and my husband sponsoring me. And the children's I-864's would only show 3 people - my husband, myself, and the one child. It was beyond me what the logic was for calculating that way and not having all 4 of us in each I-864. Thank you for clarifying that each form SHOULD have a total of 4 after filling in respective boxes depending on principal applicant.

    Ok, I'll put a request in for us to be interviewed together. Thank you!
  22. Cookie88
    Thank you for your input @JeanneAdil. I have a second question too. With regards to our situation above, is the household size going to be 1 - person on this affidavit (spouse) 1 - yourself (sponsor) 2 - dependent children (with their own CR2's in process simultaneously) 4 - total Do we count the 2 children with CR2's in process under dependent children (they were not claimed during tax filing). And with that, would each child's household size be listed as: 1 - person on this affidavit (child with CR2) 1 - yourself (sponsor) 1 - spouse (CR1) 1 - dependent children (second child with CR2) 4 - total ?? I am getting confused. I am going to take the liberty of asking @pushbrk for his very clear and direct input! Stepchildren. They're both under 10.
  23. Cookie88
    We are 3 people immigrating on separate visa applications - CR1, CR2 x 2 My husband earns above the federal poverty guidelines for a household size of 4 people (if you include us 3 and him). So no need for joint sponsor. Does he qualify for the I-864EZ? I am getting mixed responses on whether or not we qualify because of the stepchildren immigrating too. I thought the rule was he can't if he's sponsoring derivatives immigrating together, but they are not derivatives. We each have our own individual cases going on at the NVC stage.

    @Crazy Cat We only had to pay one AOS fee. When on the payments page in the CEAC portal it automatically said at the bottom '1 AOS fee for 3 related cases' - I am assuming we are already linked? When the payment was processed under the one account, all 3 accounts automatically showed as payments in process for AOS. Still waiting for the payment to show up as paid though. I've been wondering if the actual I-864 form will need to be filled 3 times or just once then, if they only took one payment for all 3 of us? I guess time will tell. I'd always been told we need to pay 3 AOS fees so we're already surprised they applied the single fee to all 3 of us automatically.
