HI, when it comes to upload things like a scan of a greencard for instance, there is no instructions as to what type of file name to use...so I think is not important, otherwise they have put that in instructions...I just want to make sure.

I scanned front and back of the card and named the file, backgc and frontgc. I was afraid to make long names etc, so I went for simple.

In any case, my scans are high definition. I uploaded nicely, looks good.

I hope I'm right.

Hi guys

I submitted i864 form but date was filled out on the computer and then I printed out and signed. Is it acceptable or will it be rejected ??????

While filling out an I-130 it asks for my physical address for the last 5 years. During 3 of those years I was in another state for school. For IRS tax purposes I was "temporarily away" and filed out of state taxes for income, etc. while maintaining an official residency with family back home. I never applied for or got residency in the new state. So for the I-130, which do I use for my physical address? The address I had while at school, or the one I used for residency back home? If I use the address from school it will not match my tax forms, which I am thinking could be a red flag, but those where the addresses I could physically be found at. Help!

My fianc has four visa denials, three for the tourist and the last on in 12/218 for a student visa, section code 214B, for not having enough ties to return to Colombia. What bearing, if any, do previous denials have on the I129F/K1 process and approval? Do we need to be able to address and explain them? When her and I did the report of birth abroad at the embassy for our son, the interviewer knew about her previous denials and when I asked if we should try again for the tourist visa, her response was no. Just go for the k1.

Passing background checks, showing evidence of our relationship, paperwork completed and in order with no additional information is needed, and my ability to support the three of us, is the K1 a pretty sure thing? I just hope they re not as stringent as the tourist, work, and other types of non immigrant visas.

Hello everyone, new here and hoping to see if anyone can advise us as to what their wait times for interview dates in Santo Domingo have been. We received case complete / documentarily qualified from the NVC on December 12, 2019, about 55 days ago now. Called NVC in December and was able to speak to a supervisor who stated that they are in contact with the embassy in Santo Domingo scheduling appointments on a daily basis, and we should not have a long wait. Called again today (Feb 5, 2020) and spoke with a case representative who said everything is fine with case, just waiting to schedule our interview appointment, but could not provide any idea of how much longer we may have to wait. What have your wait times been like from NVC stating everything is approved to receiving your interview date, and then far out from the notice to the actual interview? Thanks in advance for your comments and advice everyone!
