In another thread, this happened to someone just before getting approved. Keep us updated!

I will keep you guys updated but It looks like due to someone updated my new address to my case. Thanks

Hello everyone, 

I recently got a notice that my case got transferred to NSC. I was then updated to new address. 

I check my case status today and the status is "NAME WAS UPDATED". Anybody has idea what it is?

Is it due to the new address that I changed recently? Thanks.

Hello,

I really need feedbacks and helps from member of this forum. I filed I-751 on 1/6/2017 at CSC and recently they transferred my files to NSC on 3/12/2018.

However, my husband and I decided to divorce now as he is almost finishing divorce application  which means he will submit as soon as he can. 

Let's say he will submit the application before my case gets processing. He said that he will support my applications or go to interview with me if it is needed.

1. Let say my case does not need to interview. What do I need to do from the date that he submits divorce application to the date of receive green card?

2. Let say I will get invited to interview and he will go with me. What do I need to do from the date that he submits divorce application to the date of  interview?\

3. What is my option if my green card does not get approved  even we have plenty of evidences that approves our marriage was faith. 

Thanks

I did not translate anything to English including the Birth Certificate. The package indicates that all documents in English or Vietnamese language are accepted.

@Anonymous885 Don't you need to submit 2 affidavits from 2 people who know both of you since your conditional GC was granted and your marriage & relationship with the I-751 application? 

 The only reason to including the letters is when you dont have good evidences. I did not include it because I did not think it is strong evidence. It wont hurt if you include it.

so other than the fee and form 1-751 is there any thing else I should submit?

First at all, you need to make sure that you have the newest version of I-751 form and new fee ($680).

Second, I will list all the documents that I sent along of I-751 form and fee below:

******Note that all the documents below were obtained after marriage to now.******

******Note that all the documents below were  copy documents ( NOT ORIGINAL).

--- Original I-751 form and a check of $680.

--- 2 Passport photos (It might not require this but I have an extra  photo at home so I sent).

--- Copy of her Green Card front and back.

--- Copy of both her and my driver license to show that we live at the same address.

--- Tax transcripts that show married jointly  filling status from 2014-2015-2016 (after married until now).

--- Leases/mortgage for all years.

--- Banks statements ( I sent all the statements that I have that show joint account, some people sent 1 statement every 3 months or so).

--- Credit cards statements ( same as my bank, however, I also copied the cards itself to show my name and her name on the card)

******Note: Banks and credit cards statements need to show all pages so that they can see all the transactions.******

--- Health insurance card to show the joint insurance and bill statements that show both names.

--- Car titles that have two names on, cars's insurance cards 

--- Electric bills/ phone bills/ that have both names on.

--- Air tickets that show we went on vacation together.

--- Letter/cards that have two names on.

--- Couple Photos,

That seems to be her copy of DS-3025. I would make a copy of DS-3025 and send it to them along with other documents.

On the safe side, I would do one sided.

That does sound easy, thanks! I'm surprised they don't ask for any proof or anything. This seems easier than the DMV, but to be fair, most things are.

If you were a sponsor for her on I-864, then you need to fill out I-865 form and send it to them. She also needs to fill out the new address online as Michelle13 said above ( AR-11 form).

If someone else was sponsoring your wife but they still live at the same address then there is no need to fill I-865. If they were/are going to change address, then they need to fill I-865 and send it.

It looks like CSC is currently processing May 14, 2016. I would give them another months before contacting them.

I don't think that is tax return. You might just ask him/her to request the tax transcripts from IRS's website by online or mail. Firstly, he/she can register an account to access his/her transcript and print it out from there. Secondly, he/she can also go to IRS's website without signing up an account and request it to send by mail. It will take 7-14 days by mail to arrive. Lastly, he/she can go to IRS office near by his/her city and ask them to print it out.

The IO might be new/or  only read the instruction of I-765 like me. You might want to include the receipt of I-485 and  write a note to explain a fee waiver to IO.

 I remembered that if you file together with I-485 which is C(9) then you won't pay the fee for EAD back on 2014 when I applied. I just read the instruction for the new I-765, it does not list C(9) as fee waiver. However, new I-131 says that you don't have to pay for the fee if you are filing together with I-485. It seems to me that you have to pay the fee now. I might be wrong but anyone  is welcome to confirm this information.

I'm a bit confused, her green card is good for 2 years so apply I-751 about 90 days prior to expiration?.

That is correct. I am going to file I-751 for my wife at the end of this month since her GC will be expired on 3/25/2017.

Sorry for being an a$$, but you need to grow a pair!!

..I say that as a buddy. That being said, show her the embassy site and forum responses if she's gets on your case with the 'blame game'.

Oh well, I have told her everything I know. The true is that if she does not believe it then there is nothing that can change her mind. It is basically useless after that except argument.

Your Vietnamese wife not believing you is something you will have to live with as long as she's around. lol Vietnamese believe there's always a work around and if you disagree, then you are an idiot. I see it in my parents and older siblings. I see it with my relatives in Vietnam.

If her mother's visa will get approved then there is nothing to worry about. The worst case scenario is that she will blame on me if her mom could not come to US.

Nguoi Viet oi!!!

Tell your wife to stop listening to rumors.

My cousin insisted that I send him an invitation letter after I told him it was not necessary. The US Consulate in HCMC didn't even look at it. He, his wife, and youngest son got visitor visas. But he listen to the Vietnamese who told him he would never get visas for 3 people, so he was afraid and didn't apply for her other two children even after I told him to apply for them.

His Vietnamese response when I pointed out that he didn't need it was he just wanted to be prepared. Rationalization because he couldn't admit that he was wrong. Your wife will react no different - it's a Vietnamese thing.

There is no place to attach an invitation letter is because it's not needed.

From the US Government;https://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/visit/visitor.html

Note: Visa applicants must qualify on the basis of the applicant's residence and ties abroad, rather than assurances from U.S. family and friends. A letter of invitation or Affidavit of Support is not needed to apply for a nonimmigrant tourist visa. If you do choose to bring a letter of invitation or Affidavit of Support to your interview, please remember that it is not one of the factors that we use in determining whether to issue or deny a nonimmigrant tourist visa.

Thank you for anwering my questions. I did see that note on travel.state.gov and US Consulate in Vietnam as well. The problem is that my wife does not believe it. By the way, I live in Gainesville, FL.

There is absolutely no way anyone -- including a "visa agent" -- can attach anything other than the photo to a DS-160 application. The system will not allow it.

The letter can ONLY submit at the time of interview based on what you have said above. That means I did not miss the attachment of letter.

How can they demand all B2 applicants have an invitation letter? What if you don't know anyone there but just want to take the kids to Disney World?

Was this an embassy official who told you this or a greedy visa handling agent?

The Consulate said that invitation letter is not required for B2 visa. The visa handling agent told her that they always include letter before going to interview. I do not know where to include it except my mother-in-law brings it to interview.

Hi everyone,

I recently filled out the DS-160 for my mother-in-law in Vietnam to come to US to visit my wife and me. The interview date was also booked for the upcoming month. However, my wife recently heard from service agent in Vietnam that they ALWAYS attach invitation letter before interview for all their customers.

Anyway, my wife did ask me whether I included the letter and I told her that I did not see anywhere to attach the invitation letter in DS-160. Hence, she is mad at me.

My questions are:

1) Is there a place to attach invitation letter in DS-160? I might miss it according to my wife.

2) I thought if I want to include the letter then my mother-in-law will bring it to interview rather than submitting it before hand even though letter is meaningless to CO. I know that by checking the US Consulate in Vietnam and also travel.state.gov which have said that " if you do choose to bring a letter of invitation or Affidavit of Support to your interview, please remember that it is not one of the factors that we use in determining whether to issue or deny a nonimmigrant tourist visa".

Is letter submitted before or at interview?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Vietnamese citizens can qualify for a single visit or multiple visits B2 visas valid for 1 year after issuance. Most people get multiple visits for 1 year.

80% of applicants were approved in 2013 from VN for B2 visas.

Don't have your MIL say anything about caring for grandchildren since caring for children is considered illegal work. She is just here to visit. This has tripped up many grandmothers who were denied visitor visas to the US.

Thank you so much for your info, Aaron2020. It is not that my wife and I will let her mom to take care a baby.

Instead, my wife wanted her mom to come here to teach her how to take care her first baby.

It seems that it will cause the deny of most visitor visas.

Hi everyone,

I want to fill out the paperworks for my wife's mother to get B2 visa from Vietnam.

What is a typical valid for B2 visa that issued for the first time applier from Vietnam.

Thanks in advance.

5 months and she already has a new bf?

should see a divorce lawyer with proof of his actions and forget remarrying at this time

My mistake was not provided you a clear info. Her husband brought girls home to sleep with. His new girlfriend is currently living the same house with them. She moved to his sister house to live because she told her husband to let his new gf out of the house but he does not want to.

She wants to ask whether it will cause any problem after divorcing and get married with new person on the future. She, of course, does not have any boyfriend at this moment.

Thanks again.
