Reaffirmed Case Questions

[Ahmed&Freda 628]

Good afternoon VJers,

 

This whole reaffirmed process is a bit confusing.  There is so much information on spouse visas for the first time around but a reaffirmed case in Pakistan seems few and far between.  I have a few questions if anyone has the answers it would be so helpful.

 

1.  How does the embassy contact for interview?

   a.  email my husband

   b.  Call my husband

   c.  mail my husband

   d.  if none of the above any suggestion?

 

2.  DS-260 - ours has an expiry of April when I look at it on CEAC so does this mean we don't have to fill out a new one if our interview is before April?

 

3.  I864 - I see a lot of topics about submitting a new tax return but not filling out a new I-864.  Does this form have an expiry?  I filled out a new one just in case and have all tax, assets and pay stubs ready to go but just curious.  

 

Our case is at the Embassy and we are waiting for an interview.  Its updated 3 times since they received it but no status change.  Ever since they received our files I have been anxious.  I didn't feel this way while it was at USCIS...I just want to get the interview over with LOL.  

 

Thanks for any input/insight 😊

Hi,

when my husband case was reaffirmed,

i and my husband received an email from Lagos embassy about the reaffirmed petition. In the email we got a list of things to update such as medical, police clearance and the time to schedule but i had to physically schedule the interview for my husband but they told me to pick a 7am time. I scheduled for my husband due to internet connection that is poor on his end.

You will be told to update your ds-260 page and will need to contact Nvc for the logon information. All what you need to do will be on the email which the embassy will send you if you have your email on file and will contain packet 4. Well you’re lucky tht they schedule you interview for you, ours i had to schedule. You need a current affidavit of support(I-864). My husband had his interview and required more eveidenve such as a join sponsor and the divorce certificate, we turned both in and he was asked to drop off his passport at the DHL office that was in the email. Now we are just waiting for 10 days for him to pick his passport with visa in it. If you have any further questions, i will try to assist if i can. Goodluck on your interview. Make sure you take more evidence of communication and pictures with you/him for the visa interview
