Ok. Last fee paid was the $325 each. We obtained CR-1 through DCF, already received SS through mail. I thought what was paid at the consulate included the GC and SS.

Ok

Our process was done through DCF. Most of the final steps where done directly at the consulate. Thats why I initally made the post in the DCF section of the forum.

There is something I’m either not understanding or don’t know where to look. My wife paid all the fees directly at the consulate, and we have the receipts. However, none of the numbers on the receipts seem to work.

Will do! The fees were paid! Already received SS cards for wife and daughter.

Hi everyone, I recently completed the Direct Consular Filing (DCF) process for my spouse, and we’re now trying to track the green card after entering the United States. However, I’ve noticed that the case number we received during the DCF process seems to be different from the standard numbers used for tracking purposes. Could anyone who has been through this process share tips on how to track the green card? Specifically: 1. Should we expect a new case number after arrival in the U.S.? 2. Are there any particular websites or tools (e.g., USCIS or USPS) that are more effective for tracking green cards issued through DCF? 3. If there’s a delay, which office (USCIS or NVC) should we contact for updates? Thanks in advance!

Hello, Wife and stepdaughter both successfully entered into the US. with CR-1 and CR-2 respectively. The visas were appropriately stamped and we already received 1 SS card. Is there a way to track the status of the physical green card? Thanks in advance for any information or help provided.

Hi, I was accepted for DCF and my wife and stepdaughter have their appointment soon where they file DS-260, and provide I-864 + I-864 (sponsors) for each member since an I-130 was filed for each one. On the I-864 form on page 5 of 10 where it says Federal Income Tax Return Information do I click on 23a. checkboxes Yes or No? I was provided with a W2 and 1040PR forms, how do I input that information? Although Puerto Rico is a US Territory, we don't file Federal Income Taxes. Thanks for any help provided!

Hello again, I currently work abroad and need to file the I-864. I also have a joint sponsor who provides W-2 and 1040s with sufficient income. I currently work abroad and have sufficient income but I was told and have read here that my foreign income is not considered. Since my foreign income is not considered, how would I fill out the I-864? Also, I'm petitioning my wife and stepdaughter. Do I need two I-864 from me, my wife, and my stepdaughter and two sponsors I-864 (one for my wife and one for my stepdaughter?)? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Thanks! I already received sponsors W-2 and pending 1040s even though I currently work abroad and the reason I am moving is due to a job offer I accepted.

I believe it's the same form number, etc. but instead of IRS, it's from Departamento de Haciendo from Puerto Rico.

Thank you! Just in case I don't get them in time, is a W2 good enough? The reason I am asking is because I am from Puerto Rico, and their documents are different.

I am in the second portion of DCF with a job offer that I accepted and currently work on but I have been living abroad for the past 3-4 years, I filed taxes while abroad but my income is in a foreign currency. Our sponsor gave me a copy of their W-2. Is that sufficient? Has anyone had this experience? I'm preparing all the documents for my wife's final interview. I also have a broker account + wife has her own savings. If anyone has had experience with this process I would appreciate any help or orientation. Sponsor income is more than 100k.

From my current experience doing DCF in Mexico, they will decide if I-130 is approved or rejected on that day. If they decide your form is accepted, you will receive a follow-up e-mail with further instructions. I'm currently in the 2nd stage, doing form DS-260 and medical.

Hello, I'm filling out form I-130 for my wife and stepdaughter, my only questions are regarding physical and mailing addresses and the signature from my stepdaughter who is 12 years of age. Do I use our current abroad address? I reside abroad and got approved to file using DCF. Thanks for your help!
