Nvc bank balance + some clarification

[Zeban 1]

Hello

I have Some questions that hopefully you guys can help me out with.

1) what should my bank account balance be for the Nvc? Will I even need to send them the letter from my bank that says what my bank balance is?

2) my noa2 date is July 15, when do you think my interview will be?

3) my wife is in India, do I need a local pcc and one from the regional passport office?

4) it says on lings Nvc shortcuts that I need all originals to send into the Nvc, they don't need copies of my i130 pictures and all that that I had sent to uscis do they?

5) currently I live with my parents and 2 siblings, how do I prove to the Nvc that my income is not for my parents and siblings but for my wife and myself, because when she gets here I will move out.

6) I am a us citizen through my parents, I was a minor and gained automatic citizenship years ago so I never received a naturalization certificate, do I need that?

7) my understanding of the process, Nvc receives case and sends out the agent form, my wife will designate me as the agent and I pay the 70 dollars. I submit that and my i864 to the Nvc along with an original marriage certificate. And the passport sized photos. My wife wears a headscarf so will it be ok if we just show her ears in addition to her face? Also her regional pcc is from February 2 2010 will this be ok for India?

Sorry about soooo many questions but you guys have been an amazingly huge help. Thank you all for your help and contribution.

Hello

I have Some questions that hopefully you guys can help me out with.

1) what should my bank account balance be for the Nvc? Will I even need to send them the letter from my bank that says what my bank balance is?

Sending your bank balance is optional - though recommended. You can send a Bank Immigration Reference Letter showing the last 6 months balance. Only 33% of the value of your cash account is considered when applying it to the Poverty Requirement. It is stronger to send them Pay Stubs showing how much you have made year-to-date.

2) my noa2 date is July 15, when do you think my interview will be?

Nobody can say when your Interview will be - because it may take time to process at the NVC. However many of us with the same NOA2 date are hoping for late Oct or mid November interview

3) my wife is in India, do I need a local pcc and one from the regional passport office?

Yes you will likely need both a PCC from the RPO office and one from the Superintendent of your District/Local Police Department.

4) it says on lings Nvc shortcuts that I need all originals to send into the Nvc, they don't need copies of my i130 pictures and all that that I had sent to uscis do they?

The NVC will not accept any documentation that does not closely tie to what they are requesting. I asked them over the phone and they told me they would discard (throw away) any pictures or emails or chats I tried to send them as they do not apply. You are better off submitting additional evidence to VFS later on.

5) currently I live with my parents and 2 siblings, how do I prove to the Nvc that my income is not for my parents and siblings but for my wife and myself, because when she gets here I will move out.

Are you filling out the I864EZ form or a different 864 form? How do you file your taxes - single or jointly with someone else or are you a dependent? Is your current income alone enough to meet the poverty requirement for 2 people ?

6) I am a us citizen through my parents, I was a minor and gained automatic citizenship years ago so I never received a naturalization certificate, do I need that?

I think it is a good idea to have your Naturalization Certificate to prove US Citizenship and also for retention purposes. It takes about 8-10 months to request a new certificate, so your US Passport is your best proof of Citizenship at this point.

7) my understanding of the process, Nvc receives case and sends out the agent form, my wife will designate me as the agent and I pay the 70 dollars. I submit that and my i864 to the Nvc along with an original marriage certificate. And the passport sized photos. My wife wears a headscarf so will it be ok if we just show her ears in addition to her face? Also her regional pcc is from February 2 2010 will this be ok for India?

The fee is actually now $88 for AOS and $404 for IV bill. I paid both today and that is how much I had to pay. I think you are confused about how and when to send the AOS package and IV package to the NVC - they are separate packages with separate purposes - do not mix the two types of documents together. You can read the Wiki on James Shortcuts and also on LingChe and it will explain clearly how to pay and what/when to send both the AOS and IV packages.

Sorry about soooo many questions but you guys have been an amazingly huge help. Thank you all for your help and contribution.

If you are using your assets for your I-864 then you'll need to send them your back balance, are you using assets?

Where are you with NVC, have you send in your Choice of Agent form? Follow LingChe's short cuts to get you through NVC fastest. Make sure your first step is calling NVC to get your case number. http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/LingChe_NVC_ShortCut

Your PCC is a local question so I'll let someone else from India answer that but she will need a police cert. from India yes

No, they'll get everything you sent to USCIS, so no need for copies of the I-130. Yes, you must send originals, you will get them back.

You don't need to prove how you spend your income, you will need to show that YOU make above the 125% needed to sponsor your wife.

My husband was born in the US, never naturalized. If you don't naturalize, how do you have a naturalization certificate? We were never asked for one and you won't be either

Follow the short cuts, if you wait for NVC to send you stuff you will be waiting loads more time to get through NVC. The first is the Agent, then she'll need to complete the DS-230 and you'll need the I-864. These can only be submitted after the agent has been selected (doesn't have to be you, can be her if she wants) and the AOS and IV bills have been paid.

For the picture, I'm sure the face must be shown so the head scarf should be ok, someone else will confirm.

Good luck

PS - only need one posting for your questions in the future, not 20!

Based on your post, you seem to be natural citizen, not naturalized citizen.
