US Immigration from Ecuador

I was wondering if any Ecuadorians who have already gone through the process could share how they obtained their vaccination records. I m pretty sure I got most of the required vaccines, but I have no idea how to get an official certificate that lists them all. I m currently waiting for my NOA2 but want to be proactive to avoid any delays during the medical exam.

I d really appreciate any advice!

We received the following notice:

The National Visa Center (NVC) received all of the fees, forms, and documents that are required prior to scheduling your immigrant visa interview at the U.S. Embassy/Consulate General overseas.

NVC will work with the U.S. Embassy/Consulate General in GUAYAQUIL, ECUA to schedule an interview appointment for you. Once we have confirmed an interview date, we will send a notice to you, your petitioner, and attorney (if applicable).

Please do NOT make any travel arrangements, sell property, or give up employment until you have received an immigrant visa from the U.S. Embassy/Consulate General.

The U.S. Embassy/Consulate General may require additional documentation at the time of the interview. Please visit https://nvc.state.gov/prep for information about immigrant visa interviews. Additionally, the petitioner, as the sponsor, and all other sponsors (household members and joint sponsors), may be required to provide updated or additional evidence to you to present at the time of your interview, such as:

• Other income

• Proof of current employment

Note: You submitted documentation to the National Visa Center through the Consular Electronic Application Center (CEAC). You can continue to upload documents to CEAC up until the date of your visa interview.

Trying to get information on timeframes for an appointment, or see their calendar but with no luck...

Are we up for another year of endless waiting?

Thank you

lets keep this topic open so we can all stay updated and on the same page!

I-130 petition for mother

I checked and it says 10 months, and my case went to Texas Service Center! Crossing fingers!

Thank you!

1. I know that I need to bring confirmation of completion of the DS-160, passport, inscripci n de nacimientos o libro de nacimientos, police certificate, I-134 form, 2 photos 51x51 mm, medical examination results (if given) and proof of payment of the K-1 Visa. Other than this as an extra I will bring a copy of the complete packet that was sent for the I-29F, proof of relationship with my fianc , a new letter with a more recent date from him stating once again that he wishes to marry me, and a copy of the second Notice of Action that is received months after the I-19F. Are there any other documents that I should bring that I did not mention?
2. Does the police certificate have to be notarized?
3. They only ask for a receipt of the K-1 Visa, right? No receipt of the medical examination, the DS-160, or the I-29F?
4. For my fianc 's I-134, as supporting documents, do I have to bring the 1040 and the W2 form for the last 3 years, only the IRS tax return for the last 3 years or all the mentioned documents? Do I also have to bring the pay stub for the last 6 months?

This sounds harsh until we try to find a non-English-speaking country that gives taxpayer- or government-paid interpreters to speakers of English-only. I also wonder if the "no more interpreters" extends to functions such as asylum interviews.

We'll almost certainly need more and clearer information on the extent of this directive.

Please keep comments apolitical.

Trump Doubles Down on America-First Agenda, Cuts Language Translation Services for Immigration Agency

In a move that reflects the Trump administration's commitment to prioritizing American citizens and legal residents, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has been directed to end language translation services for those seeking information about their immigration or employment status. While critics on the left may cry foul, this policy shift is aimed at reducing taxpayer-funded services for individuals who are in the country illegally.

"Speaking English not only opens doors economically, but it helps newcomers engage in their communities, participate in national traditions, and give back to our society," the order read. The DHS has a contract with Legal Interpreting Services that costs the government roughly $3.6 million. The move is simultaneously with the steps Trump has taken to terminate the contract and reduce reckless spending. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has also been directed to cancel its language translation services. [...]
