Thanks everyone. Can someone appeal to a case that is being returned to NVC/USCIS from the embassy? And how?

I understand. I can brief it but still kinda long typing with my phone. Mostly, when a case is being transfered to NVC. What are the possible things that happened? I already did my interview but was given the 221g paper and they called after a while to provide some documents with my passport which i did. So its unclear seeing the case transfered back to NVC after providing the necessary documents they asked for.

I joined this page long time ago but i dont know how to use it that much. Not filling my timeline has something to do with my question/topic?

Please what does it mean for a case to be returned to the NVC from the US Embassy? I saw this the last time i checked my CR1 Visa status at the ceac website. I want a clear explanation on this please. Thank you.

Thank you

The NVC supervisor called my wife few days ago that case has been finally approved and completed. And that we should be getting email soon. How long does it take for them to email us? And whats the next thing we need to prepare ahead? I just want to know the next move so that myself and my wife can get ourself prepared. Hope to have a comprehensive explanation from you all. Thanks so much.

Hello everyone, nvc misplaced one of the document in the IV package sent to them and even after it has been reviewed they told us to resend it. The person i spoke with said that we should 'ATTENTION' then i didnt grab the remaining words then the call dropped, i tried calling back but proved abortive. She said with that written on the envelope, we wont have to wait another 60days but the document will be treated as soon as they receive it. Has anyone had this kind of experience with them? And what was she trying to tell us to write on the envelope? Hope to hear from you guys. Thanks.

Compliments of the season. pls i wanna ask this random question. My wife supposed to come here this January but due to some of her busy schedules, she might not make it again, we have not seen each other in person since last year january. Is that a problem in any way at the interview? i mean does that contribute or affect anything at the interview?

I want to ask something, i filled the DS 260 on saturday but something just popped into my mind. On the page of spouse/petitioner's name which is my wife, i put her name with her new last name which is my last name but she started the whole petition with her former last name but she has since changed her last name to mine ever since and she bears the new last name in all her profile at work, insurance, bank etc. Did i make a mistake putting her new last name instead of the former one? I went back to the DS 260 this morning just to change it back to her former last name but i couldn't edit the page anymore, guess because i have submitted and completed it. What do you think please?

Hello, someone said its good to add some evidences in the IV package like marriage pictures, emails, chats etc That when the applicant go for the interview, the consular must have already gone through the case file and have decided already whether to issue the visa or not. That its always good to put evidence in the IV package to convince them more. Actually, i thought all these evidences are meant for the interview. Please enlighten me more on this. Thanks

Thanks so much. How many months paystubs does she have to include? Does it have to be the most recent ones?

I am just tired cos she kept saying that they are asking for my income which i told her that the form is basically all about the petitioner. Did you get the page where she was talking about? And she should put N/A or leave them empty right?

Please i am kinda confused. I didn't get your message well. I am not doing the same job when i get to the states. I am just doing it here for the main time till i gets to my wife. She makes $41,000 annually. Does she meet the guidelines? And what will be written at the page i told you about.

Do you mean she should leave the part empty, N/A or put her details there?

I guess she shouldn't have filled that part where it stated that 'Income you are using from any other person who was counted in your household size, including in certain conditions, the intending immigrant". (See Instructions) Please indicate name, relationship and income. This is what is the page im talking about

Hello everyone, my wife filled out the i864 form as the petitioner but there is a place asking for my current income. I dont have a stable job. I only have a casual/odd job. What can she write for my income? Can she leave it bank? Or put N/A? Pls i need a good response on what to write for my current income. Thanks.

Hello everyone, nobody responded to my last 2 posts. Just wondering why? I thought this forum is to help people that need some explanations regarding their Immigration process. Please everyone, can someone please tell me all the AOS documents to be submitted to NVC after the AOS fee has been paid? Please i need a clear explanation.

Thanks.

Hi everyone, we did the DS 261 form online on monday and also paid the AOS fee yesterday. Whats the nex thing we need to do? Or prepare ourselve ahead to do? I saw on the immigrant visa website page that we should mail all supporting documentations. I don't understand this and pls what are the documents?

Somebody please enlighten me more on the documents we need to submit and when we should submit them?

Thanks

I spoke with NVC this morning after getting the emails that we can proceed to make the payment for the AOS fee. When i went back to the website, the AOS is not available for payment yet but the lady i spoke with said that it should be available by today or before friday that we should keep checking. How true is this please?

Also, she told me that the DS 261 will take 60days for them to review it before the IV fee can be available for payment. How true is this please? I need someone to please shed more light cos sometimes these NVC people say different thing. I thought the DS 261 is just basically how they will be contacting me. My wife and i just getting sad everyday about this long damn process.

Hope to have comprehensive responses.

Thanks

You would file form I-751 in the 90 day period before the expiration of your green card along with your spouse and prove with satisfactory evidence that your marriage is genuine and not for immigration purposes. Again, please read the guides, as they contain very valuable info.

How many years is the green card duration?

The visa is only for you to enter the US. When you enter you will be a permanent resident. If you and your wife have been married for less than 2 years when you enter the US, you will be given a conditional green card that you will have to convert to a permanent green card by removing the conditions for your residency. You would be able to join the military if you so choose. I'm not sure if there's an age requirement, but being an LPR you would be able to join. Please read the guides on the website as they provide very useful insight on how the immigration process works and what different terms mean.

Thanks for your response. How do i remove the conditions?

1. You will be able to work, yes. You'd need to get an SSN for that if you don't have one but generally yes, this type of visa makes you a legal permanent resident so you can work

2, The visa is valid for entering for approx. 6 months (it's issued after the interview but the 6 months are counted from the date of medical exam). When it's endorsed upon first entry it acts as a temporary green card for one year

3. Actual green card is sent to your mailing address in the US after you enter the country, time of delivery can be up to several months, for me it took approx. 2 months

Check out the VJ Wiki article on that type of visa, it may answer some of your questions.

Thanks for your response. I don't understand what you mean by the visa is valid for approx 6 months. Do i need to be renewing the green card or something? And can i join the US military with my kind of visa as an immigrant?

Yes, as mentioned above, when you enter the country with your immigrant visa, you will automatically become an LPR. The little stamp they put on your visa, will serve as a GC for all intents and purposes for 1 year. You can work, get an SSN, a DL, etc. In order to receive your GC as soon as possible after entry, it is highly recommended you pay the $165 immigrant fee before you enter the US. Your timeline is incomplete so I don't know if you are CR1, or IR1. If you are a CR1, you will have to remove the conditions on your GC, in 2 years minus 90 days after your entry.

Thanks for your response. What do you mean by CR1 or IR1. My wife is the only filing for me, i am in South Korea and she is a US citizen living in the states. I want to go to the states for us to live together as a couple. And also can i join the US military with my kind of visa as an immigrant?

Hello everyone, i am so confused about something and i need some good explanations please. I am on my NVC process for my immigrant visa (i130). Will i be able to work if i get to the states with the immigrant visa? How many years visa will it be? And how long does it take for me to have the green card once i get to the states? I am a bit confused.

I need some comprehensive responses please.

Thank you.
