Hi everyone! My interview was April 4 at 6:30am. The CO asked me a lot of questions which I didn't expected but thank God for giving me such wisdom, I was able to answer all his

question confidently. It took more than 10 mins. before I heared him saying, "Ok, your visa is approve,..." Thank you Lord.

The request for supporting documents after submitting your I-864 is normal. We got one, too.

I'm confused what is missing on your form. What line in Part 5 did you actually leave blank?

It sounds like it is not the line that they claim you left blank?

Please clarify.

I think line 17 of part 5, Name of Employer (if applicable), hubby did not write the name of his employer.

Hi everyone, I need an immediate response on my situation. We got email from NVC regarding our I-864EZ that my husband submitted. It says;

Checklist for I-864EZ (filed by xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx

NVC has reviewed the financial evidence submitted. However,additional information is required

to complete the financial evidence review.The checklist below indicates missing or incomplete

documents. In order to make corrections you will need to download a new form at www. ImmigrantVisa.state.gov.

You will need to complete and submit the new form with the changes noted below. Please provide all requested

documents and refer to page two for mailing instructions.

Part 5 Sponsor's Income and Employment

[x] The sponsor's signature must be original.

We have mistake in signature but what confuses me and my husband is about Part 5 Sponsor's Income and Employment.

We checked the form I-864EZ part 5 that hubby submitted and he did not leave it blank. Wonder what's wrong.

Any help please before we mail the form.

Thank you

You mailed it at the same time as the DS3032? So it means you hadn't yet paid the IV fee. I'm afraid your package may very well be rejected and sent back to you.

You don't have to wait for the instructions email, but you DO have to wait until your IV fee is invoiced, paid, and payment cleared.

I would call and ask them what's gonna happen now.

I am willing to resubmit the DS-230 package if they're going to send it back to me. I know it's my fault.

If you didn't wait for instruction and had no barcode coversheet, does that mean you submitted the package before paying the fee for the Immigrant Visa Application?

Either way, not following the correct procedures is a big no no and you're going to have to follow the instructions on the checklist in order to get everything sorted before NVC will process your application.

It's probably a good idea to give them a telephone call and ask them if you must resubmit all documents, or if you can just send the application with the barcode coversheet.

My husband paid the Immigrant Visa Bill today, and I sent the DS-230 last thursday.

Hi everyone

Since I am going out of country i have quick question. Where will be choice of agent form which DS3032 form will be mailed.I will be with my husband for couple of months and I am worried that they will send me here in US. Will my husband receive copy of DS 3032 too. if he does then I should be okay.Does anyone know and also does my husband need to sign that or not.

Only the benefiary signature is needed. I used FEDEX to mail my DS-3032 and it took 2 business days to reached NVC. If the beneciary chose the petitioner to be her/his agent, then

the NVC will notify the petitioner through email or mail with the instruction of Immigrant Visa Bill.

hope this help. God bless

I submitted DS-230 with other required documents without waiting for the instruction from NVC to do so. I mailed it the same day I mailed the DS-3032 (choice of agent).

Today, I received an email from NVC the CHECKLIST and instruction for the next step. My concern is, the instruction says that I must include or use that bar code sheet

when submitting physical form, and my mistake was that I used the Document Cover Sheet for Affidavit of Support and also the instruction says that I must write clearly

my case number at the upper right hand corner of ALL documents which I failed to do. I hope and pray that they will consider all the documents I sent. Does anybody here

did the same thing I did? Thanks in advance for your input.

I received mail from Embassy today stating that I am eligible for visa interview and that I must pay the K visa applicatio fee...is it ok to ignore this mail since me and hubby

pursue the CR1 route.,or must I have call embassy and tell them that we pursue the CR1...any advica please.

thanks..

I included a cover letter, but I'm not sure it is required. You can add one listing all the documents enclosed in the package, in the same order they are placed.

Here's the instructions I received (after my package was sent but I did just what they said):

Please include a copy of this letter (bar code) with your correspondence and write your case number clearly (exactly as it appears below) on the upper right-hand corner of all documents.

You know how to print the bar coded coversheet, right?

I really appreciate your response, yes i know how to print it and i will include cover letter. thanks again

Of course you can send them directly to NVC, but you NEED to enclose the bar coded coversheet. If you can print it and put it on top of your package, then you're good to go!

I sent my IV package from France, no problem.

Thank u very much for the response,..I thought the bar coded coversheet is only needed by the petitioner when sending the AOS package. I have no idea that I need to enclose it with the

DS-230. Thank u for the additional info. no need for cover letter?

thanks again

Can I send DS-230 with other documents directly to NVC using DHL express mail or do I need to send it to my husband and he will be the one to send it to NVC.

I need quick reply for I am going to send it tomorrow. thanks for the response in advance..

The DS-230 can be completed at any time, it can be submitted to the NVC when the IV bill indicates "PAID" in the payment portal.

my husband send the I-864EZ with w2 and pay stub but we didn't include DS-230 form, will the NVC asks that or can i bring it during interview? what u think...thanks for ur reply

hi everyone! What to expect next after hubby send the AOS packet? and I also wonder of when to fill up the DS-230.

any answer or advice will be appreciated. thanks

If I ended up mailing the I-129F for the K3 anyway, will it affect the progress of my CR1? I was not sure of that initially and since it was free I thought what the heck let me file it anyway and see what is quicker. Does it make a difference?

Base in my experience, my husband mailed 129F with NOA1 from 1-130 for K3. We receive both approved I-130 and I-129F same date, but we are notified later that NVC processed my CR1. So, I don't think mailing I129f will affect the progress of your CR1. I think K3 is very rare nowadays. They still process it because I knew someone here in my country, she is under k3 process.

Good day,

Ive beeen reading this forum for months now, and there's just something that confuses me. I hope you could help us . Im a filipina (applicant)and my husband (petitioner) is an american My husband filed for a spouse visa and gone through the process. He recently paid AOS $88 and Appication fee of $404. We have the cover sheet thingy. What happens next. Do they contact us or we contact them?

Hi, try to look at www.travel.state.gov, you can find there also the instruction on what to do next and the AOS form that your hubby has to send out.

(you said you're a filipina but the country on your post is belarus )

God bless

CONGRATULATIONS! Your interview story is quite long but worth to read specially for me who needs tips and advice for my upcoming medical and interview.

Your experience is very helpful, , thanks for sharing it. Actually, I am planning to bring a 16 pages album of wedding pics only.

Congrats again....

Thank you guys for your prompt reply. About the NSO CEMAR, think I have to get one for I only have NSO marriage certificate. I was also confused about

the difference between NSO CEMAR AND NSO MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE, thought they're the same. I now understand it. Thank you again

Hello VJ's! I need an advice/help/tips specially from those who are done with medical and interview. These are my concerns:

1. Is there any payment I have to pay aside from medical fee? (I am the beneficiary)

4. is it neccesarry to bring a lot of pictures aside from wedding pictures and put in album. for i will bring our wedding pictures

"...for the Lord our God is righteous in everything He does,..." (Dan.9:14)

God bless all!

Thank you guyz for the replies. My hubby just want to make sure that NVC will get his new IRS/W2 and pay stub.

Are you saying you want to send tax returns for 2011? If so, I don't think this is necessary as US law does not require employers to supply employees with the W2 until February 2012. I sent tax transcripts from 2008, 2009, 2010, a letter of employment and my most recent paystub. I didn't have any problem.

What did you mean of tax transcript? is it the W2? my husband has 2009 and 2010 W2 and also he can provide recent paystub and also he has letter of

employment but no income tax return yet.

My husband is going to fill up form I-864EZ but he doesn't have his recent income tax return yet which he must submit together with the W2. He requested

fot it but said it takes 30 days before he get the copy since the year just started. I know this will delay the process. Will it be fine if he will just

send the I-864EZ with the W2? And me, as the beneficiary, can I make an appoinment online for my medical while we wait for the I-864EZ to be submitted?

or much better to wait till he submit the AOS form before making an appointment or wait till the NVC told me to do so...any advise is appreciated.

God bless all!

Very Confused. I got married on December 15th in Ivory Coast where my husband resides and I am a US citizen. I am trying my best to get him here as soon as possible without consulting an attorney or consulting an attorney at an hourly wage rather than paying for the entire process. I am almost ready to send out the I-130 and I found this lovely forum and now I am confused about the IR-1/CR-1 vs the K3.

If i am interpreting this correct, this will not be an issue until I file the I-130 and it is approved or is this something that I need to consider now before I file the I-129F a few weeks after the I-130 is accepted.

On another note, why do the instructions omit the foreign spouse's birth certificate. The recent form on the USCIS website calls for it.

Any guidance would help!

Hello!..Based on my experience, it's easy to file petiton for spouse. I am the beneficiary but I encouraged my husband not to get an attorney since I found this website is very helpful. We just follow the guidelines here and make sure that before sending out the I-130, we checked all the required documents and put everything in order to avoid delays. Actually, we did file for K3, we first send out the I-130, after we received NOA1, we send out I-129F. We both received the approved i-130 and i-129f the same day. But the NVC processes my I-130, my case has been routed to CR1. So the I-129F is now meaningless. There are lot of people here willing to help you if you have questions. I hope this help. God bless!

Thank you for all the replies...anyway, I checked the emails that my husband forwarded to me. I now realized that my case has been routed for CR1.

I just thought that I'm still in K3 since we first received a notice from NVC of my approved I-129F, Then 2 days ago, my husband received a notice

to pay AOS. He paid it immediately and we have to wait 2-3 business days before the fee status is paid, right? before taking the next step.

that means you'll soon get your NOA2, it gets forwarded to NVC where you will have to call and get your Manila Case number, once have that you can go ahead that pay your Visa fee in BPI, sched your interview online or by phone then go for medical at St. Lukes

I already have a MNL case#. And my husband paid $88 for AOS. Do I need to go to BPI now to pay the visa fee? How to sched interview online?

The above would be correct for a K1 visa, but this is for a spouse. It is also not going to be a K3 visa. It will be CR1 or IR1. USCIS doesn't issue visas, so their decision would be to approve the petition that allows you to apply for a visa. Three more times to mail papers to the National Visa Center and two more fees to pay. THEN, NVC will schedule your interview and you can get the medical.

I already have a case # for I-129F (k3).My husband paid $88 for AOS. What papers do we have to mail to NVC?
