Evidence for NVC Documents

[Tschuulia 28]

Hi, ☺️

before i start, i am the foreign spouse, currently in germany and my husband is a USC present in WA.

 

 

I was reading through some websites from the gov and nvc about civil documents but nothing for any additional evidence.

 when i first filed for the i130 i was reading through some discussions like here and they said that we have to gather additional evidence of when we would       next visit, new photographs or anything new.

so just read through the nvc page and they only want the civil documents?

 

• i was going to add some new supporting letters from friends and family, since they got to meet him here before the pandemic went viral, also we’ve been on trips in cities and have hotelinformation etc. 
• i was going through a sample of the DS260 and there is a question at the end which said  ‘ were you on a J visa and didnt fulfill your 2 year stay? I was on a J visa for 1 year and 9 months (2017-2018 - exempt from 202 stay, i believe it is called) because thats how i decided and basically fulfilled my time. So do i check NO or YES? this question really confuses me, lol
• question to where they ask about employement : currently unemployed due to corona - is that exactly what i’ll state in the explanation box?
• I will have my interview here in Germany, so that i can immigrate to WA and be with my Husband and someone said that i dont have to translate the documents because they are in the german language. Is that correct and will i upload my civil documents and any additional documents to the nvc in german without a translation to english?

 

Thank you for your help! I will really appreciate it  🤗

1. That’s fine if you think it’s helpful.

2. Answer depends on what month you returned back to Germany. If it hasn’t been two years, then you would say Yes

3. You would put Employed and provide explanation 

4. You would need to translate German documents into English

1. but can i submit them somewhere or do i have to bring them to the interview in germany?

2. i came back january 3rd 2019 - but both in my visa and my ds 2019 it says i am not subject to the residence requirement.

 i was reading through a lot of threads here and there was one discussion with the same problem a few years ago and they went on saying it doesnt hurt anything in the further process and also that they have checked NO by that question with exchange visitor in the ds 260 form.

 

so now you can imagine me sitting here trying to find answers

You can take the additional documents to the interview.

For DS260 answer, make sure to provide explanation when you complete the form that even though it’s been less than 2 years, you were not subject to the residency requirements.

Document translation requirements are embassy/consulate specific.  It does say documents in the official language of the country where the interview is taking place don't need to be translated; however, that is not universal.  You need a Germany specific answer on this issue.

Sorry, just have so many questions in my head.

 

well one messages me (a german citizen) and told me that she isnt going to translate them because she will have her visa here in germany as well and that it wont be mandatory to translate them then.

Still torn
