I figured it shouldn't be a problem. Just wanted to verify before ordering tickets though.

Guys I have a question. My wife will have her interview soon for her CR1 visa. I was wondering, can I purchase a round trip plane ticket for her to come to the states instead of a one way, to save money since its much cheaper or will it be a problem when she checks in at the airport. Someone told me that since she will have a American visa coming to America that she will have to show a one way itinerary to avoid immigration problems. Does anyone know if this is true? Thanks in advance.

Just got off the phone with NVC... Spoke to Sonia in the spanish dept and she confirm CASE COMPLETE AS OF 9/18 omg I can't even type!!!!! Status never change to n/a

Congratulations!!!

No problem! Best of luck!

Thank you. Good luck to you as well, your CC is gonna happen any day now.

Write your case number in the upper right hand corner of every document you send, that's exactly the words on my checklist email for the aos

Ok. Will do. Thank you.

I use the one I got in the checklist email from them..

Do you by any chance know if they are different or are they the same, is the address and department same?

50 days here and couting for my checklist to get review

This is horrible. NVC is just unbelievable. Did you use the same cover letter to send your checklist or did you use a new one?

what is your scan date ?

IV Sep 25

What's an average wait time for checklists these days?

Oh, didn't know you were self-employed. Any chance you can take screenshots of the last few payments, paste them in a Word document and print them out?

As for the employment letter, if they don't have any official letterhead, then regular paper will do. Make sure they mention the company name, your name, how long you've worked there, how much you get paid and how often.

And the fact that part of your income is being used to qualify is the likely reason why they're requesting proof of current income.

Thank you Saylin.

Your tax transcripts don't prove CURRENT income, only an employment letter and pay stubs do. Tax transcripts are for PAST income.

I'm self employed subcontracted by a company. I don't get paychecks, All my payments received are through square which is a credit card program used on my iphone. The company I'm subcontracted by doesn't have letterhead paper that they can write a employment letter on, it would just be on a plain paper typed up. What should I do? And why would they need proof of my employment if my income alone isn't enough to be a sponsor?

Thanks.

Just called NVC and found out I have a checklist. They need proof of my employment. My income doesn't show enough to be a sponsor so I used my brother as a joint sponsor which most of the income is from his side. Since my income isn't enough to be a sponsor alone, does it make any sense that they are requesting proof of employment from me? Are my tax transcripts not enough?

Hello friends,

Does any one knows, whats the last scan date on which NVC is working? I feel they are working so haphazardly over last week of September and its really so depressing :-(

My scan date for both AOS and IV is 26th sep and CEAC is still showing PAID :-(

This is crazy but yes I am checking Ceac 20-30 times in a day :-/

Hang in there. Hopefully we will get good news soon. I'm also still waiting with scan dates of Sep 22 for AOS and Sep 25 for IV.

I've seen people with later dates get CC. I dont know how they check cases there.

For Affidavit of Support Form, if we use 1040 form [and NOT 1040 EZ form], do we use line number 22 [Total income] or Line Number 37 [Adjusted Gross Income] ?

Line 22. Total income.

AOS Sep 22

IV Sep 25

Still waiting. Seems like they just forgot about us.

Per a call to the NVC we received a CC on November 14. The CEAC shows the AOS fee is N/A as well (which triggered my call).

How long after CC should we expect to receive an email or other notification? Will the next communication include our Interview Date?

What were your scan dates?

Case complete (last scan date: Sept 26th!!!!) No checklist. Thank you heavenly Father!!! Will call NVC later today just to make sure!

Good luck to you all. You're in my prayers.

Congratulations! When was your first scan date?

AOS - 09/22/2014

IV - 09/25/2014

Hoping to get CC with no checklist this month.

Good luck to everyone.

Congratulations!! What was the date that they received your AOS and IV package? Just curious how long it took to review.

I am in the same situation. Got a email with the IV invoice yesterday. Went on the website and it shows 0 and no check box available. Called NVC to find out the situation and was told that I have to let the system refresh within 24 hours. Checked today after 24 hours were up and same situation. Still shows 0. Later today got another email with IV invoice, thought maybe I'll be able to pay this time and still 0. I bet we have to wait till monday. I doubt their system refreshes during the weekend.

Hi,

Your brother is the only joint sponsor and his wife is the household member. Therefore, he has to select "1d" "I am the only joint sponsor." Since his wife will do the I-864A, he will include her info in part 6, person 1.

You of course select 1a, as the petitioner on your I-864.

Hey guys, I have a question about part one in the I-864 form. I am the petitioner for my wife so I will be the petitioning sponsor. My income is insufficient by myself. My brother will by a joint sponsor and his wife will file a I-864a as a house hold member since she has good income to contribute. My question is, when my brother fills out the I-864 part one where it asks to check the box if you are the only joint sponsor or if you are the first joint sponsor of two. Since his wife will fill out the I-864a, does he need to mark that he is the only joint sponsor or the next one where it says he is the first joint sponsor of two total. I'm not sure if the person filling out I-864a (his wife) is considered a joint sponsor. Please help as I don't want to receive a check list and delay the process. Thanks in advance.

I think it works like this. You and your brother both fill out seperate I864's. Your brothers wife will fill out an I864A. There is another way if your brother qualifies to co sponsor with his own income. I am not sure I just thought I would chime in and try to help. Hope someone else who has actually done this can help more.

I-864a is only of its a household member living with me and not my brother.

No one knows?

Anybody?

Getting my AOS packet ready. I'm using my brother as a cosigner. My question is, since he is married and he filed taxes joint with his wife, in the I-864 form where it asks about annual income it gives you an option to use additional income so he wrote his wife as additional income. So they are both my sponsors. In this case, on the first section does he check that he is the only sponsor since his wife was written in as additional income or does he check that he is the first of two joint sponsors and in that case will she need to fill out a I-864 as well? Their taxes are filed joint.

Thanks in advance for the replies.

Congratulations and good luck with the NVC process!

Thank you.
