Waiting for our K1 Visa to move to In Transit to the Naples Italy US consulate. It s been 7 weeks and we are still at NVC. It seems we keep missing the shipping windows. Is this normal? Is there a backlog at Naples? Any insight appreciated. Thank you. We were at NVC from Sept 11.

i just saw this video

which i suspect is AI slop but not sure

one of the main points is that dual citizens may be required to prove ties to the US to renew a US passport.

i've renewed my US passport twice in Thailand already without incident and although i'm living in the US at the moment i will move back to Thailand one day. i wonder if this is going to become an issue?

(BTW, i'm asking for me this time, usually i ask about my wife's N400 process but now i'm worried about me too because i'm a dual citizen US and UK)

My question is: for applicants from Africa (I m from Mozambique), do consular officers usually expect or insist on an I-134 Affidavit of Support from a U.S.-based sponsor because many African countries are considered low-income, or are bank statements and proof of personal funds generally sufficient?

Has anyone from Africa or another low-income country gone through the DV/immigrant visa interview with only their bank statements (no I-134) and still been approved?

Hi everyone,

I recently submitted all required documents to NVC, and today I received this message:

Please submit every 2024 W-2, 1099, and Schedule from Joint Sponsor.

However, everything else was marked as Accepted the only issue seems to be with this part.

My joint sponsor is self-employed and owns a restaurant. I already uploaded her complete 2024 tax return in one 26-page PDF file, which included:

• Form 8879 (IRS e-file Signature Authorization)

• Form 1040 and 1040-V

• Schedule 1 (Additional Income and Adjustments to Income)

• Schedule 2 (Additional Taxes)

• Schedule C (Profit or Loss from Business)

• Schedule E (Supplemental Income and Loss)

• Schedule SE (Self-Employment Tax)

• Form 6251 (Alternative Minimum Tax)

• Schedule EIC, Schedule 8812, Form 8995, Form 8582, Form 8867, Form 4562.

So basically, her full tax return is there.
But I m confused because, to my understanding, self-employed people usually don t have W-2s, and if she didn t receive any 1099s, there wouldn t be any to include.

Has anyone else gotten this same message from NVC for a self-employed joint sponsor?

Are they just requesting clarification that there are no W-2s or 1099s, or should I try re-uploading the 2024 Tax document again (The 26 pages PDF file with all the forms)?

Any advice from those who ve gone through this would be really helpful.
