Hi Everyone. I have a very simple question. I Filled out my I-864 and when i printed it, it still shows the message "Don't forget to sign" . i signed right next to that message. Is that ok? will that be problem?

Thanks in advance

No Problem at all. We did not change the name anywhere and kept fathers name. Everything went smoothly and got the visa:)

DO NOT RESCHEDULE... Go to the interview and don't mention anything about the AOS and tax return untill they ask you for it. And then let them know that you were not able to receive them since you had such a short notice and they will ask you to mail those documents.

As soon as they receive those documents , they will issue you the visa.

Secondly, My wife was also required to bring AOS and Tax return to her interview, but they did not even ask for it. So hopefully they won't ask you as well if everything else is fine.

Ok so it all depends on what you think how strong your case is... Are all your documents in place? You have good evidence of marriage? If so, your wife will get the visa approved the same day inshAllah and it will take a week or less to get the visa by mail.

I booked my wife's flight before her interview because i was confident about the case. So i would suggest that if you feel evrything is in order, go ahead and book a one way ticket for her and a round trip ticket for yourself. It will cost you only $250 to change the ticket if needed. since the fares in june and july are constantly high and their will not be any fare difference if you change the dates.

Medical is done one month before and it can take 2-3 weeks to get the reports. I would suggest to call the doctor and get an appointment. Not sure about the fees, but i think its 10 thousand rupees.

I agree with the above comment, that they will not allow you to go inside the embassy with her, but its always good to be there for moral support.

No Vaccination required...!!

Had to or they did because they thought they had to?

Had too. we were asked to send the police certificate. Infact they have asked us again to bring a new one to the interview since its been more than one year we submitted that document.

Well my beneficiary had to submit the police certificate. Maybe it depends on the visa category ?

Did you submit your police certificate before? if yes and it was less than a year ago then you don't need another one. If it was more than a year ago than you will need to obtain a new certificate and take it with you. Good luck.

Yeah they have changed few things since last year. Reduced the number of doctors.

And thank you.

Why have they reduced the number of doctors in our city? their used to be 5-6 options for medical before. Now we have just one doctor in the whole city. Its a mess .. they are taking one month to complete the medical process.I had my medical on 10th of April. They are telling me that i will get my reports and sealed envelop on the 7th of may and my interview is on 11th. Hopefully they give it to me on time. :@

Calling them is a waste of time. They will keep telling you that your case is complete and you will be notified when the interview is scheduled. I used to call them a lot. I got notified via email that the interview is scheduled.

Do not make arrangements for medical before the IL. As the person above me said, they ask for your IL when you go for medical.

No!! you both don't need to be living at the same state. That's not a requirement.

It will be 1st Septemeber

Ok great.. thank you mussm0000 and nilx25 for your response. This helps.

I was thinking the same thing since past few weeks since my wife is about to go for interview.

I finally decided to let her come on her own and save money to go to DISNEY WORLD when she gets here..She will be more happy with that i guess

Yes you are right. i will send everything. thanks again:)

Good luck on interview. Make one envelope for old forms and copies of taxes and make one envelope with new details. This way your spouse wont get mixed up. Sometimes nervousness of interview( scared by relatives) is enough to make mistakes. I might have petitioned 10 people so far and in all interviews, i have prepared them well and asked them to answer honestly and confidently.

10 people? wow you are really experienced with this now:). You are right about all the pressure at the time of the interview.

For the taxes, are tax transcript good enough or do i have to send them the full tax return document?

when your wife got interview date ?

Its on 11th May

I am not expert but its tricky situation. As per email, correct mistake that you made. I have seen lot of times they asked for current tax returns and w2s but not new I 864 form. Send the old i864 form(with correction). Worse case senerio they will approve the visa and asked her to resubmitt form again. It happened my my inlaws. I submitted wrong form, so they resubmitted correct form and got visa in one week after that.

Thanks for your answer. Makes me feel better that if something is missing , i wnt have to wait too long after resubmitting the documents.... But i will try to send as much documents as i can so that everything is complete.

Hi Everyone, i would like to ask a question regarding form I-864 affidavit of support. When i got the case complete email last year, i recieved a checklist which said that i have some missing information in my I-864 and i will need to correct that and send it to the applicant so that she can bring it with her on the day of interview. Now one year has passed and my wife just received her interview.

My question is will i need to write all the updated information in that I-864 with 2014 tax data or can i just correct the mistake i made last time and write down the original information i had in my I-864? Please Help me if you have experience in this.

Do I need the stamp or just an extension letter? I thought you need the stamp on your passport when your extension letter expires...

I cant say anything about the extension letter. To be on the safe side, i got the stamp on passport as it takes just 30 mins to go their and get it done.

Dear smish, congratulations for your interview. I have been given an interview too on 20th of May

However there is some confusion, they first sent me the check list which had financial evidence marked Y ( which is supposed to alright) now they are saying I need to present more evidence at the interview does that mean I have to take evidence of assets and continuing income or should I fill another I 864 and take form with me to the interview.

Thank You

Hi, I also got my interview for 11th may. I am asked to present financial evidence as well, i suppose that would be for the 2013 taxes that we or our joint sponsor filed, we will have to take those to the interview. Also previously when i got my case complete email last year, i was told that i had some information missing in my I 864, so they asked me to bring a new I 864 to the interview as well.

My mother traveled on expired GC multiple times during last year. As long as you have applied for the renewal , you will have to take an infopass appointment in you local uscis office. show them a proof that you have filed for renewal and,they will put a stamp on your passport. You will have no problem at all travelling with that stamp. Officers at Pakistani airport are aware of that stamp and don't ask any questions.

I am all buckled up. Waiting for these days to pass by. Nertil have you gone through your medical exam?

Zodiac, please do update after your interview that what were you asked and how did it go. Best of luck. My Interview is on 11th May.

Thanks
