Hello, 

we just got approved after 10 months of waiting for NOA2 for I-130.

 

What’s next?

should I start getting any money, documents ready? 
 

what documents will I need? 

 

I don’t mind waiting, I’m just taking it one day or one month at a time until my husband gets here. 
 

Thanks for your help.

Hello, I have a few questions for clarification.

Thanks in advance for helping.

 

what documents are needed for NVC- for Ghana? 

  • my husband's picture passport
  • passport bio page 
  • last two years of tax transcript, do I need my W2 as well? I do not have a 1099.
  • police reports from Ghana
  • civil documents- ( I'm confused on those) are they referring to the marriage certificate I attached when I filed the I-130?
  • should the documents be original documents or copies?
  • do I file the I-865? or the I-865A ? I don't think I will need a joint sponsor because it's just me and my daughter. I make 50K.

  • On the affidavit of support when filling it do I add everyone in my house ( I have three other people leaving with me aside of myself and my 4 month old daughter)

    Do I add them on the form but not their income, since my income would suffice and be above the poverty line. 

 

 Will I need anything else?

How long does it take to be DQ'ed?

What's the timeline for Ghana after document approval?

 

 

Please correct me if I am wrong on any of the above.

 

Again, Thank you

Hi Congratulations! 

My fiance is from Tamale Ghana and we have filed the K1 Fiance visa. We only filed 2 months ago and I know we have a long wait ahead of us. 

 

How far behind is the embassy? How backlogged are they? Trying to kinda get a rough idea of how much time I need to add onto this journey after we (PRAYING) get our approval.

 

Does the CR-1 Visa and the K1 Visa follow the same DQ timeline? Or is it different?
