Hi guys,

My husband petitioned his parents to come to the US and we just received a date for the interview. I was wondering if anyone who underwent an interview recently could answer a few questions for me. 
When we submitted all required documents to NVC, everything was just scanned into their system. My question is regarding the Affidavit of Support.
Since it has a signature on it, do I have to mail the original form to my in laws to bring to their interview? Or will the scanned copy do?

Also, if anyone could share what documents they brought to the interview, that would be really helpful.

Thanks a lot for your time!! 😃

I submitted tax return then received an RFE for a tax transcript. Better to send a tax transcript to be safe I think. I would’ve saved 2 weeks if I sent that in the first place 🤷🏻‍♀️

Just got notified by NVC today that we are documetarily qualified. To everyone past this stage, how many days from case complete did you get a letter for the interview date?

Thanks!

Do you mind sharing the list of documents and civil documents you sent in your original IV and AOS packages to the NVC? Thanks!

Civil Documents

Parent's Birth Certificate

Parent's Marriage Certificate

Parent's Police Clearance
Parent's Passport Biographic Page
Petitioner's Birth Certificate
Family Photo

AOS Documents

I 864
ITR 2015, 2016, 2017

I 864A

Marriage Certificate
Spouse's Passport (as proof of US Citizenship)
Spouse's US Driver's License (as proof of US Domicile)

As of today, everything has been accepted except for the i-864A and Proof of Relationship between Sponsor and Household member. It still says "submitted" on the website. Anyone had this instance happen to them? People who received interview letters, did everything you submit show "accepted"? I'm just curious whether they've reviewed everything or are still ongoing. 

Unfortunately, I also received an RFE for a 2017 Tax Transcript. So guys, send tax transcripts instead of tax returns. I should've done more reading before submitting everything. I was confident an ITR would be fine since it was accepted a few years back when I petitioned my husband. Learn from my mistakes guys. 😃

Hi All,

 

My Parents I-130 application was approved and NVC also accepted all the documents (AOS I 864, DS-260 and Civil documents). I have one question regarding scheduling interview.

 

After NVC accepted all the documents and DS260 (visa application), Will NVC notify us to schedule an interview at US Embassy or NVC will give us exact date and time for an interview at US Embassy directly? How NVC notify us regarding interview date or scheduling an interview?

 

 

Thanks in advance.

 

 I have not received an interview date yet for my in laws, but if the process has not changed from a few years ago when I petitioned my husband, NVC should be sending you an email with the exact date and time of the interview. Unless the process for India is different from the Philippines.

hello did u pass already all documents now? when is your parents interview?

Hi, I submitted everything on January 7th. So far, no news of interview date as of yet. I'm hoping to hear from them soon though. Anyone have an idea on how long the expected wait time is until NVC reviews everything?

We received an email from NVC with the Case Number and Invoice ID number on 12/28. Check your emails everyone! We paid the AOS and IV fee on 12/29. I guess I'll have to wait 2-3 business days for it to be processed. Hopefully by Wednesday or Thursday next week because of New Year's. 

Happy New Year everyone!

When I petitioned my husband, I used my US passport as proof of citizenship. I’m a citizen by derivative naturalization. Basically I automatically became a citizen once my parents naturalized since I was a minor at the time. They never applied for a certificate of citizenship for me though and just got me a US passport.

I'm still waiting for my NVC case #. So far no luck. I just called today and I was told that the case was received at NVC on 11/7 and it could take up to 8 weeks for a case #. It's just sad that it took them that long to receive it when I got the NOA2 10/19. 

Anyone had any luck with theirs? I'm hoping that everything works out and my in laws will have their visa by April. If the timeline is about the same as when I petitioned my husband, it should be feasible. We are going to the Philippines in April and it'd be nice if they can travel back home with us. My husband is a little worried about them traveling on their own.

Hi guys,

My husband filed an I-130 for both his parents. NOA1 04/11 and NOA2 10/19. It was processed in the Texas Service Center. To this day, when we check our case status in USCIS, it states that the petition is still under review. I'm urging everyone to not be like us and rely solely on your USCIS email notifications. Check your mail religiously especially if you're around the 6 month mark.  We did not check the mail until 10/29. 😅 Anyway, no harm done since we tried calling NVC and it seems a case number has not been assigned yet.  

Also, I'm trying to look ahead and prepare the documents we'll need to send to NVC so I can have my in laws get what they need in the mean time while waiting for the NVC case number. So far, this is what I have:

*BIRTH CERTIFICATE (APPLICANT)

*BIRTH CERTIFICATE (PETITIONER)

*MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE (APPLICANT)
NBI CLEARANCE (APPLICANT) **FYI. This is the Philippine's version of Police Clearance**

*CERTIFICATE OF US CITIZENSHIP (PETITIONER)
I-864 (PETITIONER) 
I-864A (PETITIONER'S SPOUSE)
MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE (PETITIONER)

US PASSPORT (PETITIONER'S SPOUSE)

INCOME TAX RETURNS 2017,2016,2015

The ones marked with (*) are probably overkill since they should have these already from the I-130 application (right?). I'm thinking it may be better to send them again. What do you guys think? Did I miss anything?

Best of luck to everyone!

my husband just had his interview at the manila embassy yesterday. everything went well.. his visa was issued

medical for my husband went well =D

congrats to everyone who got interview dates! and good luck to those still waiting!

congrats on everyone getting approvals!! can't wait to join your club ?

Hi im going to have an advance medical on monday..

According to my friends children are not allowed inside unless he/she will have an medical also.

Hi, my husband is going on Tuesday. He's not bringing our son to the medical. I was asking about the interview.

Counting the days. My husband is going for his medical this Tuesday. We're nervous and hoping it all goes well without a hitch.

His interview is on July 10th. Do you think it's okay for him to bring along our 3 year old US Citizen son? We don't have anyone to watch him because my mother in law won't be able to take off work anymore since she's already taking off 3 days to watch over him while my husband goes for his medical. His interview is at the embassy in Manile, Philippines if it matters.

Interview scheduled for July 10th at the embassy in the Philippines!

They're going to start scheduling for July next week right? T_T

I'm still hoping for a June interview... maybe foolishly so.. I will call after work and see...

soo... apparently the philippines is done scheduling for June interviews.. but there's still a way we can get a june interview right?? if someone cancels? or I'm fooling myself? T_T I'm not really looking forward to a month and a half of waiting ... *sigh*

x_x sooo the embassy in manila, philippines are done scheduling for june interviews apparently. So I have a month and a half worth of waiting.. Oh God. T_T

Just called and got interview date! I am HAPPY beyond measure!! June 4th at 9:15am!!

congrats! I hope I get the same good news.. but I doubt it.. oh well.. I'll call anyway.

Has anyone called today to ask about an interview date?

I'm trying again now.. I called earlier and was on hold for about 25 minutes and I got disconnected.

anyone waiting for an interview date at the US embassy in Manila? Just got my case completed at NVC on 5/9 .. Just need someone to watch out for.. you know.. for comparison so I won't go crazy.. I'm so over this waiting gAme.. I'd like my time with my family back.. Good luck to all of us..

Our timelines are a week apart and I noticed you also relieved a checklist for your AOS just like me. So I am hoping next week will be my turn for a Case Complete. Congrats by the way!!!

Thank you =) I hope you get it next week too! sending good luck and positive vibes your way.
