Infoneeded

for what i read here, as long as its for travel abroad. i submitted mine with only the purpose "travel abroad". nvc approved my civil docs.

follow April NVC thread. and read saylin's guide.

you can either call or wait until NVC snail mail you a couple of months after issuing your case#.

most of us here prefer to call and memorized the call wait background.

Is nvc website is down today?

nvc website?

travelstate.gov? woking fine

ceac? i can log in in the site

nvc call center? i was actually on hold right now.

hello every one,

today we just pay the AOS fees and in the website it shows to " IN PROCESS" !!!!

now how much time it will takw to change the status in ti "PAID" ???

n no bar code sheet is generated in the system can any one say when it will appear after the payment???? i thinking once the 88$ debated from thre account we will sens the AOS packageto NVC so before this i will get the barcode sheet ???

reply me

than you in advance

once payment is made, document coversheet is automatically created. check in the receipt page.

you can send in your AOS package once your payment is debited in your account,

To VJ members from the Philippines, I just want to ask if your NBI clearance was being legalized (red ribbon) at the DFA or not before you send it to NVC? Thanks!

No need. and so for all the other documents you're sending to NVC. as long as it is issued by authorized issuing agency.

husband sent AOS via certified mail, now my worry if they attempt to deliver it on a saturday and there's no one there to receive it? would NVC bother to pick it up at the post office? or USPS will attempt another delivery the following monday? hope using certified mail won't cause us any more delays.....

and how many days for the delivery of certified mail..

better put n/a or none -

In the generic i864 instructions does not say to use CAPITAL letters. Is this only applicable to i864W?

yes, and i just found it out yesterday. hoping NVC wont be that too strict...

if only Todd or Gus will review our documents, for sure they'll be more understanding.

I think you will be ok. I've seen others not use caps and they were fine. Good luck my friend. I'm here left behind too!

paranoid w/ all these process....

husband forgot to use CAPITAL letters in filling up i864w for our 2 minors. hope this won't be a big deal for them to issue us a checklist.....

NVC pls have some mercy on our minor mistakes...

as far as i read here with regards to a.k.a thats what they are needing...

may i ask if you have an annotation in your BC w/ regards to the corrections... and is your correction as big one. i mean like a second name is incorrect? i am asking coz i have a 1 wrong letter in my middlename and BC have an annotation for that correction. im thinking if i need to go to NBI and apply for a clearance w/ AKA. are they that sensitive w/ regards to names...

Yes ....just the joint sponsor...they already have petitioner evidence from previous filings .

If later you decide or need to add anyone such as spouse of joint sponsor then I-864a

and passport data page...birth certificate..ect..to prove US citizenship..

thanks

Are you asking about a joint sponsor? I say this because the petitioner is always the primary sponsor.

oooopppsss .... sorry, yes i was referring joint sponsor.

no id's needed for the petitioner, just for the joint sponsor??

anyone.....

so there's no need to send ID's of the petitioner on the AOS packet... just of the sponsor's.....

just making sure.......

thanks for the input.

as i was thinking, they won't be needing greencard for they are goin to be USC upon POE they fall under CCA 2000.

we did the same mistake too that's why we had a checklist because we checked that part 3 no. 2 and include my stepson's name in it. dumb that I didn't read the instruction carefully but anyways we already sent the aos checklist last week. your right with your correct version, just wanna ask if your 2 minors are your stepchildren or not. coz if it is then you're right with your correct version of part 5 no. 8 coz they'll not be counted as your dependents but if they are your kids then you need to add them up to your household size. hope this will help you

credits for vj member nobby7 who gave me this info about my aos checklist. thanks again.

i-864 INSTRUCTION.PDF

Part 3. Information on the Immigrant (s) You Are Sponsoring

2. Family Members

the immigrant you are sponsoring may be bringing a spouse and/or children to the United States. If the spouse and/or children will be travelling with the immigrant, or within 6 months of the immigrants entry to the United States and you are sponsoring them, you should list the names and other requested information on the lines provided.......

I-864 ACTUAL FORM

Part 3. Information on the Immigrant (s) You are Sponsoring

2. I am sponsoring the following family members immigrating at the same time or within 6 months of the principal immigrant named in Part 2. Do not include any relative listed on a separate visa petition.

CONFUSING

but i since you've been in this situation i'll stick with your opinion. we'll redo husbands AOS.

you can read this and maybe it'll help you especially with part 5.

you can read this and maybe it'll help you especially with part 5.

oh #######!! i totally forgot about this instruction page...

Quick question I think I been looking at te I864 too much n now doubting myself. First page mailing address 2.a is the principal immigrant's (applicant's) address right? Not mine the sponsor

yes its the principal immigrant address

we did the same mistake too that's why we had a checklist because we checked that part 3 no. 2 and include my stepson's name in it. dumb that I didn't read the instruction carefully but anyways we already sent the aos checklist last week. your right with your correct version, just wanna ask if your 2 minors are your stepchildren or not. coz if it is then you're right with your correct version of part 5 no. 8 coz they'll not be counted as your dependents but if they are your kids then you need to add them up to your household size. hope this will help you

they are biological. so where should my husband include them. were still here in the philippines and they are not a dependent on his tax returns.

thanks for ur reply and to nobby7 too.

remember you shouldn't include any relative on part 3 of the form that is on separate visa petition. so if your husband is petitioning you and your children it should just be you on part 3 no. 1 and don't check the box part 3 no. 2 plsu don't put your children's name on part 3. that brings the part 3 line 7 of a total of 1 household and that's only you. remember to do the same thing too to every forms for your children. and if its a stepchildren of the petitioner, NVC look at it as they're not yet dependents of the petitioner.

husband did the opposite, glad AOS hasn't been sent yet.

clarification pls

files 3 petition (spouse & minor) filled out i864w (tax exemption) for 2 minors & i864 for wife.

i864 for wife

part 3 / #1 "yes" #2 checked the box and wrote names of children in 2.a and 3.a #7 wrote "3"

part 5 #1 "3" #8 "4"

does this mean he need to redo part 3 and 5??

correct version should be

part 3 / #1 "yes" #2 dont check #7 write "1"

part 5 #1 "1" #8 "2"

your immediate opions are really in need now. thanks y

Her post reads as if her husband is filing one petition. If that is indeed the case then they should be listed on part 3.

It would then be correct to include them in 5-1 as long as they are not listed on a separate visa petition.

This applies to all immigrants the husband is sponsoring who are immigrating within the 6 months of principal immigrant.

and now i got so confused. situation : husband files 3 petition (spouse, 2 minor) . #1 "yes" and also checked #2. and wrote children names on 2.a and 3.a /// . he filled out i864w for the 2 minor.

grrr....im so confused.....how can he count the 2 minors? and in # 7 it asks "total # of immigrants you are sponsoring from items 1 through 6 .

before immigrants will arrived you must pay $165 otherwise DOS wont release your GC.

I already done that

but the 2 minors will become USC once they arrive at US. so they don't need greencard right?

we haven't send in our AOS and got a checklist for that. i called NVC yesterday and today operatord told me husband need to fill out i864w for my 2 minors (cca 2000). i asked if he needs to attach tax returns for the 2 cases and said no as for its an AOS exemption. i asked a couple of times here on vj and they said to attach tax return. so, we've decided to attach the 2013 tax return.....haven't heard from anyone here bein issued checklist for attaching too many proof... so what the heck,...better be safe than checklist...

Question- my DS-261 shows "completed", should it say "accepted"? I filled it out over a week ago. Thanks!

ours still says "completed".

LOL I was hoping to get Todd or Gus, all 4 that I've spoken to have been cranky unpleasant and very abrupt women. I may try to call again today.

im calling international and im so annoyed whenever those "robot operators" answers my call....
