I am a US citizen and I have applied an immigrant visa 1-130 for my sister to immigrate to USA under category 4 preference. It has been 10 years so she has few more years to go . She is now getting married. My question is can she include her husband as well once her case gets sent to NVC after approval. Her priority date is june 2010.

Any input is greatly appreciated.

I have attached an email that I have missed from NVC. It has been sitting in my junk for 15 months. The petitioner was never sent an email of this notification. 

Hello, 

I was just looking through my email and searched something when I found an email in junk that I had been anxiously waiting for more than a year. 

It was for my married sister NVC notification of visa for my married sister abroad. It was sent on September 2020 and landed in my junk folder until today. 

What do I need to do to get it reinstated.? My sister waited 12 years for this moment!

I seriously need help!

My friend and her mother is applying for tourist visa to come visit us at US. My question is can I help my friend in filling out the ds 160 form online because they are too nervous to do it.??

She recently travelled abroad for the purpose of getting married about two weeks ago. She is living in her parents house abroad. She has permanent domicile here in us where we all live together. She wants to stay til April 2018 then wants to come back and wait for her spouse to immigrate. She is hoping to get the interview date fall during her stay. I 1864 will be furnished without any isssue.

Hello, 

My sister just got married overseas. She is us citizen with 2 children. One child is 5 years old and other is 19. She has earned 40 credit hours from social security. My question is can she submit

I 864 waver. She is still in overseas living with her newly wed spouse and thinking of filing to lockbox in Chicago. DCF is not an option for pakistan.

Any help is welcome.

Eric, 

Priority Date is basically the date when you receive your first  notice of acceptance letter from USCIS when you file your I-130. That date becomes your priority date. 

What if she comes to US on a visit visa that she already has for 5 years and gets her status changed. Is that possible or will she be deported?

This is absurd, ridiculous, and sad for my aunt. I don't think she wants to immigrate to US when she is 60+. 

Country is Pakistan 

Hello, 

My mother, a US citizen, applied i-130 for her unmarried sister back in january 2012. 

Does anyone have any clue what time line we should expect for her to get the process in motion. 

It has been 6 years come January 2017. 

Any feedback would be a consolation.

thx i got it waived

Hello,

I am getting ready to file citizenship for my wife. I am the only income earner in the household of 7 so I fall under the poverty criteria for unable to afford the naturalization fee. My question is whose name should it be filed from I am guessing my wife's. I just need some clarification.

All my kids in including myself are US citizens.

Hello,

My mother =, a US Citizen, has applied for her sister to bring her to US. She has filed I-130, however, at the time she was not married but now she is married. Is there any way to include her husband into the application.

Appreciate any advice on this issue.

Hello Talented Bunch

I have a question put to me by my friend who I am helping her file for her husband who is at overseas right now.

My friend has worked for and has obtained 40 quarter hours from SSA. She is unemployed right now. During her work in previous years, She was receiving food stamp benefits for her son from her first husband.

Her X-husband failed to provide any support for the child and fled the country before she could track him for child support payments.

My question is that while she was receiving food stamp benefits, she worked and supported herself and her son who is 16 years old now, Can she still file I-864 waiver under her circumstances.

Also, Can anybody recommend the best guide to follow for filing and quickly going through the process for CR1 visa for her spouse.

Thx for any responses.

Hello VJ,

I have a question I am throwing out for someone to answer. My mother (US Citizen) filed for a permanent residence for her sister back in 2011. She is awaiting for her approval to come through. However, the twist in this case is that now she is married, but the case is already in the process to be approved. What can my mother do to add her husband to the original case so he can come with her once the case is approved. Also, How long is it taking currently for such a case to be approved?

Help and input is greatly appreciated!

Hi all,

It has been a long long journey but getting there one day at a time. Just called NVC and found out that the IV pacakge was accepted and the case is complete. Will be notified of appointment date at the Islamabad Consulate.

Hi all,

Mailed my AOS package yesterday via USPS Express Mail guaranteed delivery by 12:00 noon but I don't see the USPS track and confirm updated yet. Called NVC to find out if they received it but they said that it takes atleast 20 days for us to make a decision. Didn't tell me if they received it yet or not?

Anyone else has gone through this

Thx! Saylin, You're the BEST!!

Dear Sir/Madam:

Your inquiry has been received at the National Visa Center (NVC).

We received the principal applicant's DS-3032 (Choice of Address and Agent) form designating an address and agent. Instructions for paying the immigrant visa application processing fee and all future correspondence will be sent to the agent at the address selected on the DS-3032.

For more information regarding the immigrant visa application fee or for answers to frequently asked questions, please visit the following website:

http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3904.html

If a period of one year passes from the last date of contact with the NVC (by telephone, mail, or email), all submitted fees and documents will expire. If this occurs, your fees will need to be repaid and documents will need to be resubmitted in order to continue the immigration process.

I received this in the beneficiary's email. So this say tht the petitioner will receive instructions in the EMAIL or my house address- So I guess by Monday or Tuesday the payment portal should have the IV fee ready to be paid Right now it is empty.

CASE COMPLETED

As of today 03/09/2012.... the rep quoted:"Unfortunately the NVC is unable to schedule an interview for your case with the embassy for March and you'll receive a notification with the interview date"...We'll be waiting 'til May, aren't we?!!!???!!!!

Anyway, I'm thrilled and happy. Foobaz123 Told you that you're usually 1st. LOL :rofl: :rofl:

CongratZZZ! Now go have a great weekend

Same here. I got NVC case # yesterday and i emailed ds-3032 right away.

Currently Payment portal shows:

"This case is in the process of termination. Fee payments and online forms can no longer be accepted. If you believe you have received this message in error, or to resume processing of the case, please contact the NVC immediately."

Per Saylin, i think they are invoicing my AOS. Hope it happens soon.

So you are saying you sent them them twice then? right! I guess I should do the same!
