US Immigration from Tunisia

Hi guys!

I am the petitioner and my husband and I are almost to the end of our journey, we have been DQ on July 14th and are awaiting our interview letter. Just yesterday, I got a promotion at work. Same company, same job but with an upgraded title and will be getting a bigger salary.

Does my husband need to take a brand new and updated/signed affidavit of support to the interview? Or should he just take along the affidavit of support we submitted along with a new letter from my work stating my new title and pay? My husband also got a promotion with an upgraded title at his job as well - since he is the beneficiary, does he need to inform the consular officer at the interview or does that not matter much to them?

All our documents were approved and I already qualified as a sponsor based on my income and work history so the salary is not an issue, just wanted to make sure we have everything straight and didn t want there to be any issues. Thank you in advance!

Hey guys! So our I-130 has been approved and we are in the process of getting all documents together to submit on the CEAC portal as well as complete the ds-260. My husband, the beneficiary is a Tunisian national who lives in Tunisia and I m here in the USA. His passport expires in early December of this year. He attempted to renew it back in April but he was told that it was too far away from expiration for them to renew it. We waited, and our I-130 was approved in late April. my husband began the process of renewing his passport closer to 6 months before it expires. They kept his passport and finally after going back and forth, being told it ll be ready by tomorrow oh the one lady who handles this is out sick today, come back tomorrow oh it s not ready today, come back tomorrow (you get the idea) they told his aunt today who went to pick it up that they can t renew it until it s expired. How does that even make any logical sense?! You can t even travel most places in the world without having a minimum of 6 months on the passport. It also states on the ds260 to give a passport number of a passport that will be used to enter the US with. So we can t even fill the ds260 until we get this new passport. My husband and I are frustrated and devastated Does anyone have any advice?

Hi guys! We are at the NVC stage after our I-130 was approved and I have a few questions.

1) I am the petitioner and I filed the I-130 in my maiden name because I wasn t sure when I d change it, I ended up going with legally changing it after filing (it was approved with no issues or RFEs). My passport is still in my maiden name since it s going to expire next year and I plan to renew it soon, however all my work information and everything else is in my married name. I should start using my married name now when filing the AOS and when my husband fills out the ds260 correct? There is no option for previous names used on the affidavit of support so I just wanted to make sure.

2) I have six months of paystubs ready to upload, should I compile all of these in one pdf or upload them individually?

Hello, I need help with my CR1 visa case at the NVC stage.

The NVC has rejected my birth certificate and my daughter s birth certificate twice. We are both Tunisian citizens, but I was born in Libya and my daughter was born in Serbia.

We submitted our Tunisian birth certificates with certified translations, and they were also authenticated by the Tunisian Ministry of Foreign Affairs However, the NVC still rejected them.

Do we need to obtain birth certificates from the countries where we were born, even though I only lived in Libya for six months and have not lived in Serbia?

Any guidance or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

Hi there! I submitted my I-130 back in February 2024, I was reading up about information about how you should write deceased in the option on the I-130A for the beneficiary s parents place of residence if one or both of the parents has passed away. I didn t really think about it at that time and assumed they wanted the place of last residence, which I did put down. My husbands mother passed away back in 2014. Is this going to cause any issue and I need to correct it, and if so how can I do that? Or, is it okay to update it when we fill out the ds-160? Thank you.
