Through Tampa, FL

hi all!

I received my Immigrant Visas today and I'm traveling on Sunday, with our son, to finally be with my husband after 3 years!!!

I'm soooooo excited!!

I would love to know how everyone's entrance at the POE went!

How long were you there?

Where did you go?

Anything to help prepare me and my 4 year old, so I can have some kind of idea what to expect.

Thanks a million!

I don't have it at all still waiting for it through DHL since I live in Cayman and the Embassy is in Kingston, Jamaica.

Thanks!!!☺️

How will I get my green card in the mail when my husband is moving end of month because his lease is up????

How can I change the address? I was already approved for IV. Our son wasn't when he should have been and now we have an Immigration Assistant clearing this up - he works for US department of Homeland and security and is in charge of 19 other consulates (Kingston- where I did my interview, Bahamas, Barbados etc). So our sons papers are not the issues, the address is.

HELP

☺️

I got my email confirming my IV case was complete on March 26 and I got my email for my interview date on April 27.

My interview is schedueled for June 25. Hope this helps!!

Case complete at NVC March 26 got my interview date emailed April 27. Interview date is June 25. Hope this helps

I am going through the same thing. Our aos was sent in june and so was the iv documents and the iv documents were reviewed and the aos hasnt. This is getting out of hand and every time I call its the same thing, to wait 60 days.

I mean yea i understand that they had a problem with there system which caused so much back-up but this is supposed to be the part we breeze through. This is the part we are suppose to wait the least!!! It's so frustrating

That sounds like a false checklist for the AOS documents. Usually it means they have reviewed something - the review triggers an automatic email falsely stating you haven't sent in the other packet. 99% of us get false checklists, I myself received 3 for the DS-261.

I'm more worried you sent your petition off in Oct 2012 and are just now doing the NVC stage. Did you have a hard time with USCIS or were you originally pursuing an F-2A?

We haven't had a hard time at all. Just had a delay finding a joint sponsor since our first one backed out completely.

Here is our journey cut short. Husband moved in Nov 2011.

My last visit April-June 2012, I overstayed ONE DAY!!!!

Denied entry Sept 2012, applied for I-130 Oct 2012.

Went to apply for B-2 Visa May 2013, DENIED.

Finally completed packet and sent off to NVC June 2014.

Now here we are waiting for a call for an interview until the following;

Email received Aug 3rd instead of 30 days to review now increased to 60 days. (Which estimated to us hearing about an interiew as early as Aug 26th)

New email recieved Aug 21st, stating that both my sons affidavit and mine were missing.

Lawyer contacted them. They realize they do have it. Before they sent the email they have never even reviewed the file that had been there since JUNE. Which now the new review time is 60 days FROM Aug 21.

My lawyer went off and said this is the worse he has ever seen the NVC. Also questioned why they would even send an email stating the affidavits were missing, when they haven't reviewed our case!!!!

I am so mad! My child needs to be with his father! Who can bare having their 3 yr old coming to them just saying he is sad because he wants daddy. All i can say is soon baby. I been telling him 'soon' for almost 2 yrs. This has been hell! I just need my family together like everyone else here ?

Anyone else in this predicament??

I know there is a fee but i paid for my DS230 before they no longer accepted it so I don't have that to worry about and i paid for two (my son and myself)

Thanks for the help because I would kill to pay that price!

So after 10 months of my immigration process being a halt. I finally got a joint sponsor who qualifies and did his share! Thank God!

Now that my account is active again everything i had expired and now I'm learning of this DS260 form!

My lawyer charges $1500 to do this form (which i think is ridiculous) and my son as well as myself are beneficiaries. My husband (my sons father) is the petitioner.

Do i need to do 2 separate forms? Can i do them myself and get my lawyer to do the rest of the paperwork? I appreciate the help!

Good news we finally got a joint sponsor!!!

Only question i have is, since my husband is a student will this affect my papers since our joint sponsor is the one with the financial responsibility?

I know people got asked what job their spouse has. Mine doesn't he's a student....

Will that affect me getting approved?

Can all the relatives there pool the monies together to put in husbands American account so he can qualify on assets?

I actually asked my lawyer that and he said they would need the last 12 months of saving and if they just see a large lump sum put in right away it will look suspicious... Unfortunately

Not to be rude but nobody should be making assumptions. We will be able to support our family we have a very strong connection with both sides of our family and they help us only thing is they all live here in the Cayman Islands and if they could have done the affidavit I would be set but it has to be someone who is domicile to the US and working and we don't know alot of people.

My husband is a student and he is not living off of government his mother helps him. And I was living in the states 3 months at a time on my British Passport with our son not working and not living off of the government my father was helping and also my mother in law was helping.

So before any one asks how we are gonna support ourselves leave us to decide that if i knew we would suffer we would not migrate thank you very much

You need to make the minimum requirements or have a joint sponsor or else there is no approval.

I know what the requirements are i guess the delay continues

As i stated our friends don't fit in with the requirements. Thanks

Just great...... My poor child has to suffer with being away from his father even longer

All the people i know don't qualify to be a joint sponsor, my husbands a student and our assets are no where near to requirements.

What can i do now ? ? These last 6 months have been painful.

http://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-864ainstr.pdf Page 2 (form expectation 2015)

"If your claimed income includes alimony, child support, dividend or interest income, or income from any other source, you may also include evidence of ability to maintain that income."

So it is a possibility depending (short term or long term income) ability to maintain that income

http://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-864instr.pdf (Expiration 2015 page 7)

"In order to qualify based on the value of your assets, the total value of your assets must equal at least five times the difference between your total household income and the current poverty guidelines for your household size. However, if you are a U.S. citizen and you are sponsoring your spouse or minor child, the total value of your assets must only be equal to at least three times the difference."

So you with spouse would be 3 times

Example of use would be

"Example of How to Use Assets: If you are petitioning for a parent and the poverty line for your household size is $22,062 and your current income is $18,062, the difference between your current income and the poverty line is $4,000. In order for assets to help you qualify, the combination of your assets, plus the assets of any household member who is signing Form I-864A, plus any available assets of the sponsored immigrant, would have to equal five times this difference (5 x $4,000). In this case, you would meet the income requirements if the net value of the assets equaled at least $20,000."

Thanks so much for your help ? you actually cleared alot for me i kept reading until my head started hurting and couldn't make sense of it

Im still trying to make sense of everything but i do know what the poverty guidelines are i just don't understand about the assets and how much to times it by

Also is it possible to get someone who lives off of disability to be a co-sponsor?

Ok so that means on the poverty guidelines we will go with the household of 3 ($24412) instead of a household of 2 ($19387)?

Sorry for so many questions just want to clarify

I am getting confused someone said the assists (savings) must be three times the difference and someone else says five times the difference?!? ?

Maybe I misunderstood but he told me he did several similar cases and from what I understood, he told me he would put in another form while sending off this last package so that my son would not need to be sponsored. I guess i will have to ask him on that.

Thanks for a heads up

Remember with assets/savings it has to be 3 times the guideline. I see 3 in your picture is this the family size? $24,412 is the amount for 3=$73236, you need in a bank that needs to be transferred over to an US Bank.

What about your husband establishing domicile? Does he live there with you? That's another hurdle you have to show also if he has to re-establish or establish domicile..

My husband has been living in the US Since November 2011. And our family count is two ( my sons paperwork will be done differently since my lawyer will rule him out from needing an affidavit of support )

My Joint Sponsor ( aka my father in law ) make almost the required amount for the affidavit.

So does that mean with what ever remainder balance is need that would need to be times by 2 or 3?

It is three of us but my lawyer is doing my sons papers different so he does not need to be included in the affidavit of support and when he enters becomes a US citizen instead of a permanent resident ( because he can get citizenship through his father ). So it will only be family count of 2 my husband and myself.

Thanks for the help! ❤

That's the form we are filling out now
