NVC Filers - April 2020

[David G 117]

Hi everyone! I’m a Venezuelan citizen married to US Citizen. Our case was sent to the NVC on March 20. We are waiting for our welcome letter. 

 

Here is the situation, I’m currently living in Mexico City as a tourist. I had to leave Venezuela last year went traveling to Madrid to our honeymoon. My country is a mess and the Us closed the embassy there on March 2019. So, I can stay here for 180 days as a tourist and travel outside de country and come back even the same day and they give another 180 days to stay. It is totally legal, said by the immigration authorities here when the first 180 days were about to end.

 

I got so far almost all my Venezuelans civil documents, I need to get the police certificate here from Mexico, I’ve been living here almost a year. I just need the welcome letter as a proof of why I need the police certificate for. And the passport pictures. Which that I will be done with my part.

 

As for my husband, I have copies of this passport, driving license, the AOS form. Divorce final decree. He is self employed so he sent me a copy of his business license. But for the taxes part is where we are confused. We file jointly this year by applying for and ITIN number in one of the IRS Acceptance agencies here in Mexico. But it is taking more time than normal for this Coronavirus circumstances. So we only have the tax return and my W7. 

 

When the moment comes of uploading the documents, can anyone tell me the best way to upload the taxes. Should we use the whole taxe return in the same file that my w7? Or Separately? How should we divide the taxe return? Please help!  
 

thank you in advance!

Hi David,

Welcome here.

I'm not a big pro on this. But I know that your document have to be separated. For more clarity but also, because each document have to be less than 2Mo (so if you put taxe return and w7 in one, it may be more). Each taxe returns have to be uploaded as a separete document.

Other members here will give you more precise help.

Take care,
Alix

Hello all, 

Today my check was deducted out of my account for the I -129f application I sent in. Is it safe to say that my application was accepted with no issues?  What should be the next thing I look for ? A letter in the mail?

I think folks in the K1 groups can advise you better - we're all CR1/IR1/F2A visas here

I am theoretically wrong here myself with F2A visa, but all F2A groups are so empty and everyone welcomed me so nicely in the IR1/CR1 groups hehe 🥰

There are no special requirements on whether you even need to upload W7 at all. it is a separate form where you apply for ITIN, it is not a part of the tax return neither it is one of the documents that they ask for while uploading, just like they wouldn`t ask for the form to apply for SSN if you were to apply for one (just as an example).

If you really want to upload it I believe you could attach W7 as a document under "other" and write a note. but honestly I don`t see how it would matter.

If you filed jointly and counting your foreign  income then you might need the forms for that income whatever they might be in Mexico.

At the beginning of the process, but able to submit AOS and IV Fees.

Thank you! I’m not working here in Mexico. Because I don’t have residency or work permit. 
The best way to upload it will be by separate de tax return? I mean.. 1040 in the AOS and schedules and w7 under additional documents?

Guys I received an update from NVC stating they need W2 forms of all years of my sponsor. 

My question is, will it take another 2 months for them to review my case again? It says accepted on all other documents.

Where do you plan on interviewing? Because without residency or a work permit in Mexico (unless they do things differently), you won't be allowed to interview in Mexico.

Unfortunately yes, they’ll take another 2 months but sometimes they review it the very next day but if only you’re lucky enough.

I think that  decision will depends on the NVC. The US Embassy in Venezuela has been closed since last year and I don’t think it will be reopened soon. 
I think that they will send our case to US consulate in Bogota for interviewing. Well, it is my guess.
