Can't pay NVC fees nor send documents yet. How long do we have?

[Sunny3 0]

After our case got approved, we got an email from NVC saying we must pay the affidavit of support and IV fee, plus send all the civil documents from beneficiary and tax information etc. Only issue is we don't have all the civil documents yet, I must renew my passport, find a certified translator and translate my Birth certificate (it's not in English) Translate my police records, certify both translations AND we also need to save up to pay the fees as we don't have a lot of money. Is it mandatory to send all the documents and pay the fees right now? How long do we have to reply to their request? PS. Also is any other document that we must translate, and should they be certified by a Notary like I've been told? Thank you in advance for your answers.

You have a year.  For NVC, documents must be in English OR the language of the country in which you are interviewing.

There are even more expenses involved after the NVC fees.....medical exam, vaccines, travel.....and the immigrant fee which will be paid to USCIS after the interview.

My husband works for an airline and we have travel benefits, we travel for free as non-revenue passengers travel is not a problem for us. I know about the inmigrant fee and vacciness. Not everyone on a CR1 visa has a fortune in the bank and is wealthy. His income qualifies the requierement and that's what matters?

So do I need my birth certificate translated and the police records and any other document? Do they need to be certified by a notary too?

every country is different. you can find the required documents on the embassy website of your country of origin.  Follow the instructions from the NVC

If your birth certificate is in Spanish, it doesn't need translated.   That's the local language.  Same goes for the police certificate.  Time is only an issue if you are in a hurry.  You need to contact NVC once a year to keep the case open.

They have sent us the email requesting fees and documents twice, is that common or it means they want us to do this soon as possible?

Like I said, the timing is up to you.  It's best to rely on a person reading these communication who has English as their first language, if possible. They should read carefully, interpret literally, and act or respond accordingly.  It seems you might not understand that for Argentina, civil document in Spanish, need no translation.  The instruction is to translate document not in either English or the Local Language.  Unless your civil documents are in some language other than Spanish, they do NOT need translation for interviewing in Argentina.

As I said ....you have a year.  If you want longer, just contact them once a year to keep the case open.

All of the info you need is on the website given in the welcome letter. Do make sure you read the country specific instructions too. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition/step-2-begin-nvc-processing.html

 

Will your husband be transferring with his company? Cost of visas is one thing, but a drop in the ocean compared to the cost of setting up a new life, and medical cover will be a big part of that (it cost us $2500 a month when it wasn’t subsidised by an employer). Having a job to go to would mean that would be one less thing to save up for. 
 

Good luck to you.
