Saylin, given my income is foreign and counts as $0, am I eligible to use the I-864EZ? I meet the first two conditions (only sponsoring one immigrant, my spouse), but am a little unsure about the third:

"3. The income you are using to qualify is based entirely on your salary or pension and is shown on one or more Forms W-2 provided by your employer(s) or former employer(s)."

Since I have no salary to qualify and no other source of revenue besides my uncountable foreign income does this work by default or is it better to use the regular I-864 to be safe?

I've always taken the third criteria as if you're needing a joint sponsor, then you're not eligible for the I-864EZ. I think in your case, it might just be safer to use the I-864. But that's just my opinion.

Thank you for adding a timeline (and so quickly after my request!). You've now been added on the spreadsheet

Very exciting! We got our case and invoice numbers!!! It was sometime this week; not sure when. My husband called today and didn't ask the date. I'll say today on our timeline, just because we heard today. Probably was earlier.

Saylin, do we also ask you to update or just to add us to the spreadsheet? Would you please update us?

Follow up question on the EZ- I will not use a sponsor, I'm using assets for AOS because I have foreign income. Could I qualify? I notice it says "income" not assets.

Personal update-

I called NVC today and they acknowleded that the package was received on Mar 12, 2014 8 days after I got my NOA@ in the mail. To me this is a good sign that things are keeping on keeping on.. rolling rolling rolling--

Waiting on them to give me CASE # and Invoice Identification Number--

also this week got an updated Police report - or I should say my wife made the 12 hour round trip to get the police report- and we are working on getting the original up to me here--in the USA-- GOD, I cant wait for this to be over..

SKYPE is cool, but not good enough after 25 months now--- cant wait to hold my youngest daughter again..

AARGH!! but thank God for you listeners too.. I know you understand more than anyone else I talk to..

Last night at 1:12 in the morning I received a false checklist for my IV package. Even though I read it and realized it was false I still had the most awful feeling in my stomach. Why do they do this to us?!?!?! It's so stressful. LOL! Hope this will mean case complete very soon!

You and I have same timelines. Probably on Mar 25/26th??

I just received an confirmation email from NVC regarding an email I had sent them on February 25th. So one can assume it takes 2 weeks to hear back from them if you are doing electronic processing....

Only one person can edit the spreadsheet, so yes, I add/update. And you've been updated!

Follow up question on the EZ- I will not use a sponsor, I'm using assets for AOS because I have foreign income. Could I qualify? I notice it says "income" not assets.

Well, since the I-864EZ doesn't have a section on assets, you can only use the I-864

Please add a timeline. I'm not adding anyone to the spreadsheet anymore until you have a timeline created. Once that's done, re-post those dates and I'll add you.

I can read people's timelines, there was no reason to post yours But the 3 dates I asked for do not appear on timelines.

Saylin,

I'm wondering if the use of the word "timeline" is confusing some people since there is a VJ "timeline" and most people put dates in their signatures. I think what we want everyone to do is to add their dates in their SIGNATURES, right? So perhaps using the phrase "please add your NVC dates in your signature" might be more specific, especially since the dates on your wonderful spreadsheet are NOT the dates on the VisaJourney "timeline" option.

Or, are you requesting that people create the VisaJourney timeline?

Perhaps *I* am the one who is confused!!!

I think you're the one that's confused When I say timeline, I do indeed mean the VJ timeline. The reason is because this is quite useful as data. Although I much prefer signatures, the functions here on this website doesn't use that; only from timelines. I suppose I could always start requiring timelines and signatures before being added to the spreadsheet!

Ok - I'll cop to being the confused one!!!!! I still think you need to make people swear they've read Posts 1 and 2 before they are added!!!!

Thanks!

I was also wondering the same thing as I have one from August 2013, just wondering if it will do, or if I need to get a new one?

Canadian Police Certificates are good for 1 year.

You and I have same timelines. Probably on Mar 25/26th??

Yes...lets all cross our fingers!!! Even though most things in this process for me have tended to take the maximum "allowable" timeframe, getting this close is getting more hopeful feeling I would be stoked to have a case complete by the first week of april.
