That is the correct amount for NVC, depending on your Embassy they may require a higher income. I would ask that question in your Embassy forum. 

Thanks, I will do that. He does earn a lot more than $25,975 but just wanted to check if that was correct.  Many thanks for your response.

Hello everyone. Does NVC send a hard copy of the case number and Invoice ID#  or any other correspondences via postal mail? Or only via email? Tia

It’s very hard to give advice at the NVC level, because each Embassy is different and can require more than what NVC requires. The Embassy forums are very helpful. If he makes a lot more than that you all will be fine. He just has to show his current income to the Embassy officer.

Ok thanks. Just have to figure out how he will show his current income as he's self employed.

Hey everybody I need help. In my signature below is the NVC Process Wiki. Please look it over because I know it needs updating since the process their has changed.

 

If you could let me know changes you see that would be great so I can get it updated and republished.

 

Thank you

I'm not cr/ir1 but can provide a little insight into the process. Its taking an average of 6 weeks from the date NVC receive a file to assigning a case number. 6-8 weeks seems to be the norm right now. Most countries are also changing to online processing, and for that there is no requirement to choose an agent - you just log into the website using your case number, then next screen you put in the invoice number and select if you are the "applicant", "petitioner" or "attorney". After logging in you can pay the fees (some can pay both at once, some can only pay one, then have to wait a few days before being able to pay the second fee), once those are paid they take 2-3 days to process and then the petitioner can upload tax stuff, and beneficiary fills out DS260, once DS260 is filled out then the beneficiary can start uploading the documents that NVC states are required for them.

 

Once all documents are uploaded, you click on the submit button and wait for NVC to accept or deny and request re uploading. I'm currently waiting for NVC to review my documents.

If he is self employed is he able to get a 1099 form that shows his income?

I believe almost always through email. You can call them to make sure they have your email correctly. Or they'll use the same emails you provided USCIS.

Question... 

I got my husband’s police certificate in early January and just got my case number yesterday. On the NVC site it says that it expires after a year but someone told me that the country that he is in (Dominican Republic), the certificates expire after 30 days. If this is true then it expires next week. Does anyone knows if this is true. It seems like a short time. If it is expired can I still upload it for NVC and just get a new police certificate before the interview? 

I'm going to follow you because I want to know the same thing.

I’m sorry, but everyone must have a timeline to get responses from individuals here. It is not fair for VJ members to provide information to individuals who have not created a timeline, which will help other VJ members track the progress of USCIS and NVC. If you don’t have a timeline we should not provide you with answers to your questions. Our security is a concern as well.
