If your dad is a joint sponsor, he would have to complete an I-864. If he combines his income with your mother, she would have to complete an I-864A.

From what I understand If I live with my Dad in the same household, then he can't fill out the I-864 instead he has to fill out I-864A as a household member combining his income with mine.

And if he combines his income with his wife then she would have to fill out another I-1864A. This is what I understood so far.

Just need to clarify something. Perhaps someone could assist me with this:

Suppose I ask my dad to become my joint sponsor who files his returns jointly with my mother who is partially disabled and is a housewife, do I need to include my mother's I-864A as well or just a dad's I-864A will do ?

Appreciate any help to clarify this!

Marriage Certificate issued through a city/local government.Joint Bank statements

Joint Property/Assets/Retirement /401k etc. documents.

If you have children-then birth certificates with both parents name on them.

Life Insurance with spouse as a beneficiary.

Wedding Photographs.

Secondary Evidence:

Wedding Ring Receipts

etc etc.

There is a general guide outlining above and other things under "Guides."

Congratulations!

You need to fill out form I-134 ensuring that it exceeds 100% poverty line.

Mail it to your fiance in Pakistan. It is the most important doc along with the rest of the documentation that your fiance' must bring at the time of the interview.

Follow the guideline in the link below.

Well, I'm a July 26th 2011 NOA1, so I'm gonna wait for another 4-5 days after that I have a three page letter already written out along with other things ready for state's congressman.

I really dont think this a linear process, I think it depends on what desk your docs happen to fall on. I think a lot of people from August and some Sept filers have got their NOA2...I dont know whether we can map this process. It seems too unpredictable right now.

I totally agree with your assessment of current trends in approval. I know a few in front of me got their NOA2 weeks ago.

Just called USCIS, CSC still working on July 12. So, no service request can be initiated as per USCIS. This is the latest as of 2/14/12. However, VJ'er with receipt date July 25th got NOA2 today.

What's going on. Can't get straight answers from anyone least of whom--USCIS.

Unfortunately, not very much. Wait some more and then get your congressman involved. In any event, sooner or later, they will get to your case.

VFS Global is a trusted partner to the U.S. diplomatic mission in India and manages the administrative function of the visa application process.

LOL-You are cracking me up with your ticker cursors. LOL-A snail and a camel in the desert. This depicts CSC's slowness, eh?

LOL

I have a July 26 priority date. Few days ago I noticed a case number with 2 digits lower than mine was not approved. I just checked that receipt number again right now and it was approved yesterday. There is one more receipt number before mine. I have positive vibes flowing through me.

My receipt date is of July 26, 2011 for I-130. Let's see

if I get a hit today or tomorrow!

Congrats to you! I am happy for you ! keep us in your prayers!

Let's all hope for the best. Days of waiting are finally over! Sooonnn!!!!!

We are all gonna look back and appreciate what have we struggled for. We are all playing for KEEPS!

I had to read your posting three times to believe what am reading. If it is true and I mean its a big "IF" then our days of waiting is nearing end.

Instead of having people knocking at their doorsteps for NOA2's, I think it falls on CSC's shoulder to change the processing timeline to accurately and exactly reflect what dates they are working on instead of just showing 5 month target. Most among us have already been waiting past 6.5 months which is what the expectation was to have the case approved and forwarded to NVC. SO, in my opinion, they should do something about it.

I called this morning. They said they are processing July 12th petitions. I am a July 26th filer so we gotta keep waiting. Not too much longer.

Like you and me with receipt date of July 26th, 2011, there are close to 700 people with that receipt date. I had bee researching!

Realistically...... the processing speed may also get slowed down little bit during November and December months due to Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. I am pretty sure CSC employees go on vacation as well So number of applications processed in those two months should go up after holidays. My NOA1 date is 12/20 and I am hoping that I will get NOA2 by sometime in June month. I saw that last year who filed I-130 in February had received their NOA2 in less than 5 months. So I hope trend remains the same this year as well........ohhhh well I think I sound too optimistic compare to all folks out here who have lost their hope for CSC on being too quick

I am just as optimistic as you are about this process. CSC right now according to some who have called learned that CSC had been stuck on cases from July 12, 2011, but one way or another CSC have to look past that date and when that happens we are all in the line to get knocked off. I believe it's sooner than later. And yeah you're absolutely right that last year CSC picked up the pace around February and march to approve cases within 5 months time.

Oh wow! I really pray so! Add me as a frend so we can kep tabs on each other. Insha'Allah I am remaining optimistic that this our week! It appears every 5 applications was approved like some kind of pattern.

Just finished prayed maghrab prayer and asked Allah for his special blessings for us as well as anyone who has waited for so long!

My wife has the original with her overseas. I will have to ask for her to dhl me those and they might get lost. I will just have the copies notarized here of the relevant docs. Also, she can show the originals to the consulate at the time of the interview.

I guess the NVC has country specific requirements so I will just wait fr the actual instructions than relying on these guides.

I have been reading different guides about sending original documents to NVC as part of AOS packet. It includes sending original marriage certificate, beneficiary's original birth certificate, and so on. My question is when will we get those back?

Also, If a petitioner had been divorced before, shouldn't original of that be included in the AOS packet or no. It only mentions of sending any previous divorce decree of the beneficiary.

Thanks for the help!

Funfetti,

I fall in the 800 so I guess I should be expecting some sort of action in mine. Let's hope we both get approved this week! IshaAllah ! Haan

Looking at several hundred random WAC's before and after my WAC receipt as well as evaluating Paisaman's compiled data, I believe this coming week or next, I am confident filers with receipt date July 26th 2011 thru July 28th, 2011 will begin to receive approvals.

I have my hopes up with a grain of salt!

I believe the timeline is not a reliable predictor of when someone's case will be evaluated. Most folks I know have receipt dates following mine have been approved. So, I think it depends on the caseload that an officer has and how fast he is finishing the task.
