Ok the case was pre-approved... The final step is easy. It makes sense for the case to be blue slipped because you stated you have a copy of the "tax return" which is ok but it requires the copy of the W-2 wages/summary statement. The tax transcript is way more streamline.

So an email should be resent using the direction provided on the blue sheet to request an interview/APPOINTMENT INFO WINDOW. You can expect the AIW to be scheduled for about 3 weeks after you have sent the email.

Enjoy.

She emailed me the blue sheet today and they are asking for my 2009/2010 W-2 statements. I have my 2010 w-2 that my job gave me and I requested the 2009 w-2 today. I also have 2008 – 2010 tax transcripts from the IRS. I also send the embassy an email today to reschedule here appointment.

This next appointment I am sending my 2009 and 2010 w-2 and also the tax transcripts.

Ok…so my mother went to the embassy in Kingston today for her interview. I have here a copy of my 2010 tax return as requested by the interview letter. They gave a blue sheet telling her that she needs to present a copy of my w-2 and in the mean time reschedule another interview online. She also mentioned that they told her they will be processing in visa in the mean time. Now my question is what’s next and any idea how much longer this will take?

My mom has her interview for immigrant visa this month. Does she need to bring all her original documents such as birth certificate

I paid the IV and AOS fee already, started to send in the required documents to the NVC. The only document left to me sent to the NVC is the police record which will be paid for for week in Jamaica. What is the average wait time to be schedule for an interview after all this information is rec'd by the NVC?

That's Good. Just make she she will send you the all the documents before she sends it back .. save on total cost.

what do you mean by save on total cost?

I mailed the AOS today along with my tax return transcripts. I also mailed my supporting documents of my marriage license and birth certificate as requested my the NVC's website. One of my relatives was going to Jamaica today so I gave him a copy of the DS-230 (with information i filled in). The hope is to have my mother sign it. Then fedex this off tomorrow along with: photocopy of her passport, photos and birth certificate. I will try to have her get the police record sorted out for next week.

Correct the NVC needs to be notified BUT the brother will be left back in Jamaica when your mother leaves. You brother will not benefit from your mother's case. Even if he was 12 and unfortunately there is no lawyer that can help. Your will have to come and inturn petition for him and currently it would take approx. 3 years unless the visa cut-off dates come closer to current which i think it will later in the year.

The plan is to have my mother petition for both my brothers ages 22 and 17, when she becomes a LPR (hopefully by this summer) I asume it is going to take about 5-6 years for the brother who is 22 and about half that time for the 17 year old brother. Besides it will give her enough time to get her own place and my 17 year old brother is in college now.

Thank you so much.

We provided all the documents (originals to NVC). She is doing medical and hopefully will get visa without any problems

Let us know how it went. I plan to file for my 4 year old child within the next 12 - 18 months.

im in somewhat of a frustrating siuation, my bf lives in the US and is a US citizen and im a canadian living in canada. Im young, and im currently living with my parents still, saving up to move to the US on a K1 visa to marry my bf. Im in a sticky situation, due to personal reasons i dont want my parents finding out i am going to the US to get married, ill be telling them im getting sponsored by my bf/parents. my question is, when me and my bf file for the k-1 visa, is ANYTHING at all going to be mailed to my house in any way? just to be sure. i dont want my parents getting any kind of mail of mine like that when im not home. if i do end up getting something in the mail (which im sure i will, like the papers i need to fill out and forward) will anythng suspicious be written on the cover of the mail in case my parents pick it up to give me my mail? or would i get a phone call or anything from the places we are dealing with, with the k1 visa? basically what im asking will i the places that are dealing with my k1 visa have any contact with me by phone or by mail alot? just so i can keep it low from my parents, and there are reasons why im not telling them so please dont make it part of the subject! thank you!

You will recieve mails not phone calls from the USCIS, informing you of the status of your case.

Well within the Yardie... it has always been noted that the medical could not be done without an interview letter, but the PC reports were being done w/o it since the embassy has been asking for renewed PC reports. So yes, they maybe able to obtain a PC without the letter, but not the medical.

I called the NVC earlier today and I was informed that once I start to send them documentation such as the AOS and others, they will send me a checklist of all that is needed and my mother can used that to get the police record.

My other question that I didn't remember to ask is about my brother who is 17 years old now. Does my mom just need to list him on the DS-230 form. The NVC website states that they shoudl be notified if the applicant has children under age 21.

I'm now home from work and on a pc as promised.

After you pay the AOS Fee of $88.00 AND the IV fee of $404.00 the next step is on you. You must go back into the payment portal and download the instructions/cover barcode sheet. You will gather all the Affidavit of Support and the Immigrant visa documents which also includes the police report. you can send in all at once or separate.

ALL of the signatures must be in ink (original) so a fax will not work. what you can do is to complete the form and then print it with the items filled in. otherwise if she signs the blank form you'll have to then fill in every thing with a pen.

If you require any more assistance let us know.

The NVC website states that "Available. Residents of Jamaica should apply for police certificates at the Ministry of National Security, 3 Oxford Rd., Kingston 5. They must present a passport, two passport-sized photographs, fee receipt, and evidence, such as a form letter of instructions to visa applicants, that the Embassy requires them to obtain police certificates for immigration purposes. There is both express, three-day service and a 21-day service"

So how will my mother be able to get the police record if the NVC or embassy didn't give here any document requesting it?

I'll fill you in with the proper steps based on where you are as noted in your initial post when I get to a pc

SO should I complete the DS-230 form and mail it to Jamaica to have my mom signed it before sending it to the NVC? Will a faxed copy of her signature work?

You Should make the next steps.

What are the next steps...........this is so confusing

Read the AOS and IV fee letter. It tells you after you pay the fees online, you are to go back to website after 3 days and download the bar coded cover pages, the AOS form (I-864) and IV form (DS-230). In addition, you are to follow the directions there.

You will not get anything in the mail.

The AOS instruction is saying that i need to complete a AOS if requested. I was not requested one by the NVC. In addition

I am really trying to understand this process. I am a US citizen I started the filing process for my mom to come to the usa. I paid the AOS and IV fee to the NVC since December 2010. Now I am not sure if I should complete the AOS even though I was not requested my the NVC. Is the next move in the process in my court or do I just wait until the NVC gives me more information. PLease advice

I just paid two fees as required now whats next? The fees were $88 and $404 for Avidavit of support and Immigrant Visa respectively.

Wat a gwaan my yute you've gotten far in your process and i know it went quickly you mom should be here in the next 2-3 months depending on when your case is completed.. but definately she will be completed by the END of Februart 2011 being that she currretly has her police report and all the necessary documents that are required along with the application for the visa.

IT's the last fee that you will pay to the NVC YES.. After this your mom will have 3 more payments to make as follows:

1. Payment for Police Certificate i think it was $2000.00 JMD when my mom and dad got theirs back in August 2010.

2. Medical Payment IF she does not have ANY medical records (shots) then she can expect to pay ABOUT $20,000 OR $230.00 USD ( that is with Medical Associates We eont use them again come next year when my brother has to do his medical di people dem not professional)

3. DHL delivery payment is required once approved JMD$800.00 OR USD$9.00(so mek sure she walk wit a gran to the interview).

About your 17 year old brother he wont be able to come - as is sorry. I also have a brother who is currently in Jamaica he's 15 y/o.. My mom & Dad were approved on November 1, 2010 and before or after he could not be added no current law will allow it.

Soulution given previously -

When your mom gets here submit an application for your brother and he will be reunited with her within 8-9 months so by Nov-Dec 2011 if things are done right...! Your MOM CAN still reside in Jamaica while the application IS pending regardless of what people here may say after this... she'll be required to travel within the 6 months of going back to Jamaica so she stays IN STATUS but shows she will migrate once the intending immigrant process is completed.

Hope this helped you.

That information is on point thank you.

I am still trying to figure out this filing process. I am a US citizen and I filed for my mother who lives in Jamaica June of this year. The case was approved this month, she was on vacation with me here in the USA so I had her signed a form making me the agent of the case. The letter also required me to pay $88 for affidavit of support processing, which I paid two weeks ago. The lastnight I received an email saying that I need to pay a visa fee of $404. My questions are:

1. Is this the last fee that I will need to pay?

2. My mom has a 17 year old son, can he be added to her case now? Based on this info:

4. Children who pass 21 years of age after the petition was originally approved by the USCIS become

ineligible to accompany or join the applicant(s) immigrating to the United States under the original

petition. In some situations, the Child Status Protection Act (CSPA) may allow children to remain

eligible beyond 21 years of age. If you believe that the CSPA applies to this case, please send a

detailed explanation to the NVC. We will forward it to the U.S. Embassy/Consulate for a decision.

what should is the next step after I rec'd the approval letter?

I hope to hear from USCIS by November

I filed a I-130 for my mother who lives in Jamaica May 2010. All I have rec'd from the USCIS since then is a reciept of my application dated May 28, 2010. Their website say my case is still is waiting for approval. Is the process normally this long?

A friend of mine lost his green card about 3 years ago and didn't replace it since then, he just has a police record of his wallet been stolen. However, he nows want to apply for US citizenship because he has been a resident for over ten years. does he need to re-apply for the green card before he can apply for citizenship?

Congrats!how did you sign your certificate of naturalization?im nots ure if i will sign it the same as i sign my photograph.I sign my photograph in single word.its only show my middle initial on my signature .

I signed the the certificate using the same sinature on the picture.

I am not sure how this will work.....I am going to file for my mother next month. However, she has a 16 year old son who will be 17 November of this year. How and when can she file for him?

I took my oath yesterday in Worcester, MA. There were 750 people in attendance to take the oath including 168 people for name change. The wait was long but the ceremony was quick and seamless.

I am so glad the immigration process is over for the most part. Now is time for me to apply for a passport and have the SSN office update my status.
