NVC Filers - March 2014

[etrangais 927]

Yup, the thing is that the beneficiary should fill it out and not sure if they can track it and see that i filled it out in the US?

As Nobby7 said, you can fill it out. Just make sure all the info is correct and also the beneficiary knows the answers also.

You should be fine.

I will do the same thing when the time comes up for us for the Ds260. My wife does not speak English at all.

Oh wow

You're doing the 129

Nice !!!

Did they close out your 130 at the NVC ?

Impossible.

The I-130 is never closed until the immigrant is denied completely or approved for a visa, or cancelled by the petitioner.

If the person specifically decides to chase the K3 because they can, the I-130 will be sent back to the USCIS (the beneficiary should inform the NVC when/if they receive a K3 visa) so that it is on hand for when the beneficiary adjusts their status after arrival in the USA.

B & G thanks you very much!

Please check questions, i read 1,2 and have additional questions.

Questions about AOS:

1. My wife is living with me outside USA and haven't worked ever so she doesn't have any tax record. Must i mention in AOS cover paper ? i don't want they to think we missed it so how is right on this case?

2. My wife and i will immigrate at home where my Father-in-law and Brother-in-law live, at the same time my Father-in-law is going to be joint sponsor. Because we will live with family member who will be also joint sponsor do we need to make him to fill I-864a (yes, just i want confirmation).

3. Must we send original birth certificate of my wife (petitioner and primary sponsor) as evidence of family relationship? Like that joint sponsor and petitioner (primer sponsor) are relatives.

4. Must we use original IRS tax statements for sending NVC ?

Questions about IV Package

1. Will in be better if we will send proof or ongoing relationship (pictures, messages, emails, so on)

2. I need to submit original beneficiary (my) Certificates: Birth, police, military, marriage if all are in my native language which is not English can i translate myself to English ? So i will send original certificates with translation papers with them.

Thanks guys

~If your wife has never filed taxes in the USA then she needs to write a letter stating why she has never filed taxes. Just living outside the USA does not count, but never working means she's never been employed so made under the threshold required to file.

~First, a USC never immigrates to the USA. Second, your father in law would sign a completed I-864. Not an I-864A. The I-864A is only used when you combine income with household members. Because your wife has no income to combine, this is pointless.

~No. Have her Father sign an I-864. He would send a photocopy of his birth certificate, bio page of his passport or naturalization certificate or green card. (Whatever qualifies him as a US Citizen or LPR.) He would also send his tax transcripts (if he files jointly with his wife he should also include his W2s) and proof of current ongoing income.

~Doesn't matter. If you print them from the internet they're not original.

IV Q

~Up to you.

~Depending on what country you are from depends on if you need a translation or not. You may want to inquire in your regional forum or in the embassy discussion forum. Most consulates and embassies do not require a translation but some do. You can do the translation yourself if you can certify that you are fluent in both languages.

hi saylin ,

i have payed my AOS fees and and filled out my ds-261 form and in the middle of sending them AOS packet , could you please tell me how much time it will take to get second fees and ds-261 appears online to pay.

thanks

Co sponsor has expired passport and can't find the certificate of citizenship

[Jasminka8 16]

According to Saylin's first two posts:

Can the petitioner fill out the DS-261 and/or DS-260?

Yes. It's very common for the petitioner to file the DS-261 and/or DS-260 on behalf of the beneficiary (typically due to the language barrier and/or no/low internet connection). This is perfectly fine.

I would just make sure that you go over the questions with him so he knows what it is being submitted, since technically it's his info anyway.

Ok will do! Thanks Nobby ??

As Nobby7 said, you can fill it out. Just make sure all the info is correct and also the beneficiary knows the answers also.

Thanks a lot ??

for point 1, i think its better she uses IRS form 4506-T and selects 7- verification of non filing option. Just my opinion.

use other opinions also.

Hi Saylin and everyone,

Both my 129F and 130 forms have been received by NVC yesterday, on March 12, so please update the spreadsheet.

I was told, however, that my 129F has been assigned a case number (though when I put it on the USCIS website, I am being told that this case number does not exist) and it should be forwarded to the embassy within a week or two. My 130 form has arrived as well, but it is not in the system yet and they have not assigned the case number. I thought that once both forms are approved at the same time (which happened in my case), the 129F is "killed" and you only have one route - IR1/CR1. Is this correct?

I do not want to pursue K3 anymore because of some logistical issues and costs associated with AOS in the U.S. How can I pursue CR1 instead of K3? Please help, as I am a bit confused...

Thanks!

[Nastechka 9]

And by the way, this website - https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx - also does not recognize the case number for my 129F...

Our I-130 and I-129F were approved at the same time as well and both got to the NVC. However, NVC didn't process our I-129F although we wanted to get that one and we made them known this, but they said we couldn't decide over that. We got a case number that never work on the ceac site.

I-129F petitions that are approved separately from the I-130 are usually forwarded to the embassy. That's not your case, so don't worry about it, you will have to continue with the I-130 process as most people here.

[Nastechka 9]

And one more thing... It was my understanding that the first three letters of a case number should correspond to our embassy's code, but the case number for 129F I was given starts again with MSC... What does this mean?

[Peace500 28]

Thanks Saylin.

So happy to see you here

[Dkbose 1]

Do the rules and procedures change much since the DS 261 and DS 260 replaced the older? Do you still need the Barcode for anything if the petitioner does both forms online? Everybody has to do the online forms?
