They are scanning your file into the system now. You should see your AOS invoice shortly. Maybe today, but for sure early next week.

hi Dave and Kinnari, hope you can help me with my question i sent you a message... THANKS

GOD is good... Congratulations =)

Ok, I will make it simple for you.

If your sister-inlaw's income is sufficient, then only she need to file I-864. She needs to enter her annual income in line 23. So If she uses IRS Tax transcripts (which has income of your sister-in-law and her husband), then she also needs to submit copies of her W-2s. If she is submitting the tax returns, then she needs to send copy of the full tax return filed.

If her income is not sufficient, and you need your sister-in-laws husband to join the sponsorship. Then his income can be added in item 24 b and he needs to then file I-864A.

Ok got it... Thanks a bunch NavyK

Yes, he needs to file I-864. And if the he is the only sponsor (not his wife/ husband), then he needs to submit his/ her W-2s along with IRS Tax Transcripts or submit the full Tax returns filed (every form that was filed).

If the spouse income of the sponsor also required, then the spouse needs to file I-864A

Sorry I don't get it... here it goes...

My husband (the petitioner) plans to get his twin sister as a joint sponsor they are living on a different house, and the sister files tax w/ her husband, does my hubby's bro-in-law still needs a I-864? sorry I'm too slow to understand... =(

If the joint sponsor files taxes together with her husband, does the husband of the joint sponsor still needs to fill up another I-864?

Unfortunately USCIS does send RFEs by email. And USPS doesn't forward the letter abroad. Do your husband have someone in US that can receive his mail and forward to you guys in Phillippines' address!

NVC is fine, they send all the correspondence through email. So once you get your approval, you can manage the NVC process through email and pay fees online and mail the documents from Phillippines.

You may be looking for some answer regarding givving your temporary address to USCIS for sending their RFEs, if any. I hope someone with such experience with USCIS will respond.

Yes, there are definitely be someone who can forward an RFE letter to us if ever (but crossing my fingers not to hehe), my issue is if the USCIS accepts documents coming from a Philippines' address instead of a US address...

I suggest that you call USCIS and request that change, so that you can avoid RFE. They does such corrections or ask you to mail a revised G325A. Not a big deal.

Thanks NavyK you will always be our savior

We are still waiting for NOA2 and my husband the USC plans to visit me here in the Philippines for about a couple of months or more. But what if we receive some RFE's can we submit the requested documents to USCIS using Philippines'address as the return address? Same with AOS and DS-230 requirements? Would that be a problem? Thanks

my brother is law is Single

awww... I guess you just need to follow ahn map's advice...

I just noticed that in my g325a form with question: This form is submitted in connection with an application for:

me as the beneficiary check others then put I-130 for it while my husband, the petitioner selected "status as permanent resident".

I'm so worried, do you think this would cause us an RFE?

thanks...

same household....

we r in trouble we dont know what to do now,,,,, i received RFE from NVC and they r asking proof , any other way?

try to look at the marriage certificate of yours and your wife's brother, because here in the Philippines marriage contract also listed the name of the parents... If so, then just highlight their parent's name with their respective names... I hope that make sense goodluck...

my wife and my brother in law is my sponsor , NVC wants proof of relationship my wife and her brother , but he don't have his birth certificate , please tell me any other way to proof relationship , in my wife and her brother .. :( :help:

did your bro-in-law filled up I-864a? are they living on the same household?

I am not trying to be rude. All we are triying to say is that NVC or Consulate has no way of knowing about your son coming with you, as long as you keep him of the topic. And DS-230 item 31 a is only meant for those that are also in the process of immigration.

You can always tell them that he is going to US a little later or earlier or that you have not decided ....., if at all it comes up in interview. All the best with your process.

Thanks NavyK... VJ peeps are the best

You were told the same answer that your son is not part of immigration process and hence is not supposed to be on your DS-230. It is the correct answer and I don't know what other correct answers do you want!

ok I'm sorry I just don't want any trouble on my ds-230 form... But thank you guys for always helping out... GOD bless

I've asked this question on different thread before but I only got 1 answer and I hope to get more answers and help from you guys... So here goes my question:

Q.31a on ds-230

Persons names in 14 & 29 who will accompany you to the United States now.

I will be going to US with my son, If ever I will be granted a visa. My son has a Consular Report of A Birth Abroad Certificate and a US passport from US embassy Manila, will I be putting the name of my son to this item? thanks...

Same question...

Q.31a

Persons names in 14 & 29 who will accompany you to the United States now.

I will be going to US with my son, If ever I will be granted a visa. My son has a Consular Report of A Birth Abroad Certificate and a US passport from US embassy Manila, will I be putting the name of my son to this item? thanks...

I don't think that would be a problem, actually its the government's advantage to take much more money from you declaring as single

Does the NVC requires the transcript I ordered in IRS or can I just send them a photocopy of the transcript along with the AOS packet? THANKS...

FORM I-864EZ

The relative you are sponsoring is the only person listed on

the Form I-130 petition

I have a son who's accompanying me in the US if ever I will be granted a visa, my son never underwent any petition anymore because he already has a CRBA certificate & a US passport which we got from the USEmbassy Manila. Now can my husband use EZ form for my AOS? thanks

Line 23 is current income, not 2011 income. Current income is expected income for the 12 months following the date the affidavit is executed, not any calendar year. Yes, it is very important. Latest company and occupation advise above is correct but stating his "current income" could be a little complicated if his work is sporadic. I would need to know more details of his 2010 income and how much he has worked and will continue to work this year to advise.

Hi, my husband worked for 4 months in 2010 that's from june-october 2010 and he gained 28k for that. this year he just finished a contract from march-june 2011 and now he's on another job until October. as far as I know he already gained 20k from march-june 2011 job.

note: each job above mentioned is from different companies.

My husband also plans to get a joint sponsor not for the income perse but because he doesnt have a "permanent company"...

My case is too complicated i hope you can help me analyzing this... thank you God bless

Yes, put his latest company in I-864 in Item 22. The 2011 annaul income in Item 23 is very important - it needs to be above 125% of the 2011 provert level (18,383 for 2) - link http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-864p.pdf. The 2010 IRS Tax Transcript or full tax return is mandatory. So if his 2010 is also good, it is fine. If 2009 & 2008 are also good, then include those, as those two are optional.

Your 28,000 is good for 4 people (you, your wife and two kids). you should be fine. Also sending an explanation letter of his employment may be good.

NavyK, thanks... But how will he determine his 2011 annual income? As of today he is on his 2nd ship the last time he had worked for this year was from march-june and now I guess July-Oct 2011. and his income still uncertain for the entire 2011.

Hi sorry for asking too much questions, I don't want to have problems with NVC that's why I'm preparing it ahead of time... Well, here goes my questions, my husband is a US merchant marine he is a member of a union. A union where he got his job he doesn't have a permanent company because every time he's done with a particular work he will then go to the Union and finds another company to work with. So my question is what will he put on as his employer in I-864? will he be putting the latest company he worked with? And also been worrying about this, sometimes he just work for 4 months in a year but gaining some 28k as income would this be a problem considering the fact that he doesn't have a permanent company? But sure to have work anytime he wants as member of Union? Any help and opinion regarding this? thank you guys for helping me out... God bless...

Hello, another question on I-864... You must show on this form that you have

enough income and/or assets to maintain the intending

immigrant(s) and the rest of your household at 125 percent of

the Federal Poverty Guidelines

does this mean must be from the 3 most recent years? or just the 2010 income? thanks

Hi everyone,

We sent all the documents to the NVC last July 21. My husband included pictures and emails to prevent RFEs though, the nvc haven't told us yet to do so. Will it hurt the whole application? I hope it won't cause delay...

As far a I know... proof of relationship will be presented on I-130 USCIS stage not on NVC...

It depends on their relationship. For example if they are just room mates, or the sponsor is the child of the co-sponsor, but there is no financial dependency, then yes.

ok thanks for clarifying... He will get his stepdad as the joint sponsor my hubby lives with him and his mom but I think hubby's not dependent on any of his stepdad's or mom's finances, particularly on their tax... Thank you this has been buggin' me for quite awhile now... thanks...
