Hi Snappy,

I helped my parents file for all their forms, what I did was put the pictures in a small ziplock bag and stapled the ziplock bag in a blank paper, never had a problem with it, so maybe you can do the same.

Thanks soo much Lexlee for sharing...i will do that. Congrats to your mom and hope your brother can go with your mom...Good luck to your brother.

Hi everyone,

I just a have a quick question, after the interview and Visa issuance does the embassy return all original civil documents? We are just a little concerned 'coz we submitted my uncle's original birth certificate(which was almost torn apart 'coz it's too old) and we just want it back. As far as the other civil documents we don't care very much if they return it or not since we can always obtain copies of those from NSO. If they happen not to return it,how do we go about getting it back? Thanks guys, hope everyone is having a good day!

Hi Pampoo,

Unfortunately my uncle didn't have any record with the NSO so we submitted his original birth certificate from the local municipal office together with the NSO paper stating that he did not have any record with them. Anyways, hopefully they return it so I can give it back to my uncle, so when are you leaving to come here?

Did your husband have problems with his medical too? My dad did the 3-day sputum test which were all negative the 2-month sputum culture which will be around June 22, so hopefully I can get him scheduled for his interview too? As far as my brother is concerned well they told him to have his medical first and pay the IV fee and then they will compute his age, of course this are all gamble but we are hoping that he might be able to come.It seems like your immigration journey is almost the same as my parents. By the way, when you scheduled your hubby's interview how early of a date did you get? I am hoping that my family will be here by mid july 'coz we are planning a family vacation to Canada and Seattle, WA. Which state will you be living in?

we will be staying in sacramento california,hubby finished his 2 mos culture last may 17,was released on the 19,i called up embassy immediately to have an sched the earliest possible day but unfortunately May sched is fully book

they give me an open day of june 1 and 17 so i pick up the nearest,know what with a quick computation of your brother's age he is covered with cspa,he was born 1988,and the case was to be current last 2009 he was just 21 then and you said that the petition was approved 5 mos later to be deducted the consul wouldnt let you pay the IV fee and undergo medical if he is not covered.

I have a question. For my aunt's visa, we got an email few days ago stating the name of everyone on that visa and saying we have to pay a bill. I am assuming it's the IV fee? After we pay for this, what steps are left?

We already have paid the $88 bill long time ago.

Also want to add, we submited DS3032 (I think that's what it's called) and affidavit of agent forms.

Hi Pampoo,

What a coincidence I live in Elk Grove, which is a city/suburb within Sacramento, my parents will live with us when they get here. We are all praying for my brother's case as he will be the only one left if my parents migrate. Well my brother was born March '87, PD April 1, 1988 and the I-130 was approved June 4, 1988 ( so that's just 2 month deduction from his age), the case became current I assume the time my mom got the interview date which was Mar. 26, 2011 (or maybe a month or so earlier than that), my mom was told that it's not guaranteed that he can come, but well we're still gonna gamble it. I really hope you are right, he was only 1 year old when that petition was approved it's so unfair if he will be left there by himself. He just turned 24 last March. Well, goodluck on your journey and hope to see you around the neighborhood!

If the amount is $404 each applicant then that is the IV fee. Once the status of online payment says paid(I'm assuming your aunt will pay online), print that receipt with the barcode, gather all original civil documents of each beneficiary and petitioner, fill up the DS 230 which you can also download online, submit it to NVC( IV fee bar-coded receipt, original civil documents and DS-230).

The AOS(Affidavit of Support) $88 should also have a bar-coded receipt, print that and submit it with the I-864, latest Income tax return with W2 and proof of citizenship/LPR status of the petitioner, then submit it to NVC.

If all documents are filled up properly then NVC will forward the case to the consulate and will schedule the beneficiary for interview.
