Hi! For i864, as the sponsor, do I print out all 12 pages just to sign page 10?

Or, would I only have to print out page 10 to sign the form, and then after, scan page 10, and digitally (via Adobe) insert page 10 back into the entire i864 form?

Hi guys. Our case was sent to NVC in June 17 and we submitted a public inquiry and got our NVC case number in July 14 but we have been checking the status online and our case is still At NVC. Do you know why it is taking so long for them to send the case to the local embassy? Thanks.

Hi everyone,

I m currently in the process of helping my spouse immigrate to the U.S., and we recently became documentarily qualified with the National Visa Center (NVC). However, due to extremely long wait times in our original designated country, we re considering requesting a case transfer to the U.S. Embassy in Thailand.

Has anyone here successfully transferred their immigrant visa case (specifically a spousal visa) to Thailand or another third country? I m hoping to learn from others who ve done this. A few questions I have:

• How long did it take to get a new interview date after the transfer was approved?

• Are there any helpful tips or things to avoid that you learned during the process?

Thank you all in advance any advice, experience, or guidance would mean a lot!

Ok, I need help. I have been trying to get a copy of the welcome letter that is sent after the I-130 is approved. The one they did send has been misplaced. I have tried on 6 separate occasions through the inquiry portal with no help. All I get is a computer generated email stating that a copy will be sent to my email within 2 business days, same exact email just with a different name. They did attempt to call me twice about the delay and the lack of progress on our case. Unfortunately, when they did call I was at a Dr's appointment with my phone turned off and I missed them. This welcome letter is the only document stopping my wife from getting her police certificate from the Hong Kong police (she works in Hong Kong) to continue on to get her interview scheduled. Other than the inquiry portal on their website, there isn't any other way to contact them which is completely ridiculous. I don't know where else to turn to for help. It's so very frustrating.

My brother (35) has a green card interview in Jakarta in a few weeks. He was in the US with a student visa but he graduated and his visa expired. He stayed in the US out of status for 2 years while waiting for the interview appointment. Now that he has received his appointment date, he has flown back to Jakarta to prepare for his interview. Is this a concern for the interview that he was out of status? He s now in Jakarta for the interview in a few weeks. He has taken the medical exam there. In the US, he lives with our mom by themselves. My mom is 72, just had knee replacements. She was a PR when she filed the application to sponsor him in 2016 but now is a citizen since 3 years ago. Any advice for a successful interview? Application submitted in 2016 when he was 26. He s not married
