hello Friends,

I was just going through the NVC website. it is mentioned there after the interview and approval immigrant have has to pay immigrant fees at http://www.uscis.gov/uscis-elis . can I create the account and pay the fees for her( I am the choice of agent) or she has to create the account and pay?

I am little confused with this step. please give some information. it will help many members who are not using attorney.

Thanks

Kalloo

You can create the account and pay the fees.

Is it absolutely necessary that the beneficiary's last name on her passport be changed to my last name? I applied for her I-130 with her married name, but her passport still has her previous last name.

If she wants her green card to have your last name, then yes.

I applied for her I-130 with her married name, but her passport still has her previous last name.

This is only semantics but an I-130 is not something you applied for, it's a petition form you filed.

So we're preparing everything for sending the AoS and IV package finally. I've spent a better part of i think 2 hours going through common checklist reasons (in a selection of posts from the last 2 years) and summing them up for my husband. Lessons learned:

* Everything has to be filled in in black ink;

* If you do a 1040 - put in total income in the place they ask for income, 1040ez - adjusted gross. No rounding up, as far as I understand;

* If you put in anything about assets, provide documents proving your statement, but don't bother doing this if your annual income is enough for sponsoring;

* Whatever's not applicable - mark N/A or risk checklist if they think you missed it.

Stuff i knew but double-checked:

* If the petitioner is sponsoring a spouse, then the spouse is accounted for as the main immigrant and petitioner puts "0" in "married" box for headcount;

* Don't forget to mark little flags like "Yes, i've reported stuff to the IRS" and "Yes/No" on active military duty.

Uh. Hopefully we finally send stuff off in the next couple of days.

When NVC receives the approved i-130 do they email you to let you know or do you have to call them to find out?

Hello, I have a question, I just filed my taxes for the AOS form. 2011 I was unemployed graduated from College, worked as a self employed, 2012-2013 I made over 35k and 60k respectively, do I need a joint sponsor if one of the years I made below the required poverty level? Thanks.

Counting days from I-130 approval is not terribly useful, considering that TSC waits 2-5 weeks to send a case to the NVC, though CSC and NSC are more consistent. At the current rate, expect a case no. 20-30 business days from the day the NVC receives the file. The way things are going lately, 20 business days is a very optimistic estimate.

You have to call.

For NVC, you'll be fine. Your current income is still over the poverty line though, right?

Yes it is above, it has been for the last 2 years.
