ik2011

Hello,

My husband and I filed joint tax returns with him electing to be treated as a resident for tax purposes. I would like to contribute to an IRA for him for year 2012, but he is still awaiting his interview and residing outside US. He has ITIN, but no ID/address proof here.

Has anyone successfully opened and contributed to an IRA in this situation? If so, I would like to hear from you.

Thanks

Ours is probably the only case where becoming a citizen didn't help. :(. PD: 01 nov 2010. Yet no interview. I feel like killing myself now for my decision to become a citizen.

I called last night and was told 'not scheduled yet' , but we are no longer F2A, we are now IR/1. Talk about bad timing.

We got met in 2009 and we met in 2011 JAN not 2007...to those of you mistaken

HERE IS THE LETTER FROM MY WIFE

=========================================================================================================================

To whom it may concern,

I am Mrs ================ and I have petitioned for my spouse Mr ================== to immigrate to the United States from Nigeria. My husband had his interview at the US consulate in Lagos Nigeria on February 4th 2013. He has informed me that they did not issue him the visa we were anticipating and they are intending to return our petition to USCIS for possible revocation. My husband stated that he correctly answered every questions been asked. The consular officer did not inspect the abundant evidence we provided of our relationship and seemed to concentrate on finding fault in our evidence of commination.

I have only been to Nigeria once, (01/01/2011 to 02/01/2011 ), when I married my spouse and stayed with him and his family for a month. I had intended to return during the latter part of 2012 but work constraints and my recently deceased fathers failing health caused financial and physical restrictions on my ability to travel. I am hoping you can assist me in getting a second interview in Lagos allowing for me to be in attendance before the petition is returned so that I can avoid the long period of waiting for reaffirmation of the petition. I do not want to be separated from my husband after having endured over a year apart already and he cannot stand not been with me soon as we have been apart so long due to circumstances stated

I wish to thank you in advance for assisting me with this issue.

============================================================================================================================

Here is the later about to present to the Embassy in Nigeria by my wife

Kindly share your knowledge please

Texy

That would make it over two years apart.I too found the usage of 'commination' a bit strange.

Hello all,

I want to claim my wife as dependent on my tax returns for 2013 and since she has never been to USA and not eligible for SSN at this time I am applying for ITIN no. But the new rules say that they need original documents of my wife(passport) or copies certified by issuing agency. My wife's passport was issued in Mumbai and I am not sure who issues the passport or where to go in order to get the copies certified by issuing agency. Anyone on the forum has idea which agency or which departments certification would be considered the right one ????

I am confused and I dont want ITIN application to be rejected. Please help if anyone has idea ..

In our case, my husband was living in a foreign country at the time and so he got it from the Indian embassy there. If your wife is in India, I would assume she can go to the nearest passport office and get it from there. And no, there was no seal like a notary seal. It just says it is a certified copy and IRS accepted it and an ITIN was issued. They returned the certified passport copy back to us, btw. They just needed it to verify the information.

I see that someone waiting for Mumbai from Nov got their interview date. It would seem they are backed up.

I don't know. Someone who had their case completed on 12/12/12 had interview scheduled for 1/15/13. Please see the timeline of user 'sunayana'

http://www.visajourn...mbai-consulate/

when was your case completed?

Our case was originally completed in June 2011 under F2A category and upgraded to IR/1 end of Dec 2012.

I called NVC last night and was told Mumbai consulate is done scheduling for February. Hope for March.

Hi all,

We received an email containing checklist cover letter from NVC. It says the following:

______1 - IMMIGRANT VISA APPLICATION PART 1:_______________________

The NVC has received the information you submitted and placed it in your case file. You will be

contacted when your petition is sent to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate for further processing.

[FCC 01/10/2013]

I am confused, why is a coversheet being sent out now? Our case was complete long ago and recently upgraded from F2A to IR1 and they are not asking for any new document. I don't know what to make out of this.

I noticed that every time I call either the DOS or NVC the date changes on the status.

Where exactly do you see this date? I don't see any date along with the status.

PS: Our case was converted from F2A to IR/1 in Dec 2012, so, although our case was completed at NVC in June 2011, I will go with Dec 2012.

I'm filing for an immigrant visa for my wife, our I-130 was approved, and now we're in the National Visa Center. The first email we got from them had my wife's name spelled wrong, which appeared to be a simple typo where two keys were pressed instead of one while entering the info, so I didn't think anything of it. I know we spelled it right on all of our documents. I paid the AOS fee today, and when I printed out the cover sheet for the AOS package I noticed that it still had her name spelled wrong. I emailed them about it but still haven't gotten an answer. Will this cause problems in our processing? Or is it not a big deal and I should just send the cover sheet as is?

Send an email to NVC mentioning the correct name, also attach a copy of her passport (as proof of correct name).

Thank you everyone. That was very helpful.

Hello VJ,

My husband has his CR1 visa interview on Jan 10th in Mumbai. While preparing for the documents to take, we noticed that there is a fee of $230.00 payable to "The American Consulate General, Mumbai" in a bank draft issued by a nationalized or foreign bank. The current exchange rate for $1 is Rs. 57.

When I submitted the IV application (Form DS230), I have paid $230.00. Is this a different fee that needs to be paid at the interview?

Please help. Thanks.

No, you don't need to pay $230 again. However, there is a new fee of $165 that need be paid if he is picking up his visa after Feb 1st, 2013.

Hello all,

Has anyone recently did their medical exam in Chennai? How much did it cost at the hospital including all exams and immunizations? I am trying to get an estimate.

Thanks for the help.

In our forum there are three people with PD between 22Oct and Nov8.

KAMIMITSU---------------28OCT10------XXXXXXX---------XXXXXXX-------------

IK2011------------------01NOV10------XXXXXXX---------21JUN11-------------

F2A4SPOUSE--------------04NOV10------XXXXXXX---------XXXXXXX-------------

Did these people got interview letter ?

KAMIMITSU,IK2011,F2A4SPOUSE if you are reading this thread please reply.

Nope.

usually at the time of interview they dont ask for petitioner's doc...... just send a scanned copy to ur spouse for back up.....

they didnt ask me for my spouses divorce decree....but asked for my divorce decree again at the time of interview.

hope this helps

Thank you. That helps.

The original passport and marriage certificate? Worried about sending those in and getting them back in time to send the marriage certificate to the NVC. Maybe I should wait until later?

Actually marriage certificate is not needed at all. I know, because I just got ITIN for my husband. W-7 and a 'certified copy' of spouse's passport. The certified copy need be issued by the passport issuing authority. That's all you need.

Congratulations!!

He told my husband that he was going to be spending some time with his wife

It is funny, isn't it? They expect us know everything about our spouse who barely got a chance to live together for a few days while they themselves confess they don't know much about their spouse living together.
