Hi guys! Question about I-864 for joint sponsor. I'm using my brother as joint sponsor coz i dont meet the 125 percent poverty guideline.

He have a 12 y/o son with his ex gf who lives in another state. Now on the question, number of household, does he need to include his son on the number of household eventhough he doesn't claim him as dependent on his tax return ever? Any help will be appreciated guys, thank you!

Yes. Any children, no matter where they live in the world, until they reach the age of majority.

Question regrading civil documents:

Do I have to submit ORIGINAL civil documents (birth certifcate, marriage cert, Police cert etc) to NVC? or copies will be acceptable for now and my parents can take originals at the Interview in Mumbai, India.

My concern is that if I send Originals to NVC - what if they are lost??

I would appreciate reply from folks who have already gone thru the process.

Thanks!

Depends on you Service Centre. CSC does not, last update is approval. TSC and NSC will update the portal IIRC. I don't know about VSC.

VSC doesn't send a "shipped to NVC notice either... Just the approval. My file arrived about 2 weeks after.

Tell me about it! LOL! I just joined this group this week and found out there were already 200 pages!

Reading messages on this thread is like having a part-time job!

No kidding! I want to stay up to date so I'm checking every few hours and there always seem to be 2 or 3 more pages! We're a chatty bunch!

Yes, he does... I agree with the last poster.

Also, congrats on all the case completes and case numbers and all the people moving forward! It's fun to see so much action! (But I have to admit it will be even more fun when I'm one of the ones announcing a new stage!

All originals or certified copies must be sent to the NVC. If you choose you can get copies from the issuer, known as certified copies, and mail those instead. I've heard of ONE person ever having their originals lost. Chances are slim but it's not like an item is unobtainable again.

Photocopies or notarized copies are NOT acceptable.

The thread is very useful but from my experience this past year, every case is sooo independent, so the best solution is to follow USCIS/NVC rules and instructions, and to use the thread for sharing and reading other people expiriences

Sounds logical to me.

[Soloenta 2,218]

so, I just talked to Cindy at the NVC. Very nice lady !!

Documents were logged in on 4-15-14 but nothing for the revison.

But I asked a few questions...

Will the NVC kick back my AOS completed by the lawyer with the wrong income amount EVEN THOUGH it is still higher than the poverty level?

She said , no BUT you want it to be correct for the Embassy.

Is it going to be a problem that I didn't go back 10 years for my husbands employment on the DS260?

She said no, they won't kick it back for that. They get much more serious mistakes on the DS260. We can just provide the additional info at the interview.

so for now I can relax.

Oh yea, and I asked if they are open tomorrow.... ( I had to ask)

She said YES ! ! ! ! !

HOORAY !! !

Your a treasure hahaaa you just made me laugh and I thank you for that. I'll be praying all goes quickly for you from here on in.

[Soloenta 2,218]

There's no word I can express my happiness right now! I really had this gut feeling so I called the NVC, and I can't believe I heard the word "CASE COMPLETE"! Wohoooo!!! I'm sick right now but I felt so much better hearing that good news! Thank you dear Lord God!

Congratulations to you and all those that have received theirs. Still wish it was me hahahaa

Hi NoelAnne how did you managed to fill DS260 without IV fee, and how is I-130 send so fast in Embassy, can you give me some hints? Is that possible after AOS package to send the I-130 in Embassy?

Her case was unusual.. She started to pursue the K3. She did her medical and filled out the DS160 and was ready to go and then they closed the K3 and just shipped her I-130 to the embassy. I am assuming because it was their mistake they just decided to finish the process at the embassy. She will still have to pay at the embassy.

You can't go by her case.... She was one of the lucky ones !!
