Hello,

My wife is applying for her mother, who is currently here in USA in a B2 visa. So, she is applying i-130 and i-485 together. Here are some questions she has, if anyone can help that would be great.

1. During concurrent filling does she need to submit i-864 and i-693?

2. if i-864 is required then which address I have to send it out? NVC or USCIS?

3. is there any additional fees required for i-864.

4. Can I sponsor here where she is living in the same house hold with us and how? 

We got the interview letter today and wife’s exam scheduled on feb 11th. We applied for n-400 while her I-751 was pending. Then her case was transferred to Detroit office last month. But here is the situation, she is pregnant and starting 36 weeks now and her labor is scheduled on February 10th. Now we have two options, either reschedule the interview date or reschedule the labor date. The second option I am not convinced because labor contraction can start any time and she might not be able to get to the interview. Let me know what you all think?

My wife is pregnant and we want her parents to visit us during our child birth. I have completed two ds-160 for them but didn’t submit it yet. Here are my questions:

1. Can I submit the applications here from USA? In the submission page it stated that the person who is applying needs to do the electrinic sign and submit. Do they track where the application has been submitted?

2. In the application I stated that I am paying for this trip. Do I need to submit I-134? Or my financial documents during interview is sufficient? If I need to submit the form then how?

3. What kind of paper work they need to show for tie up with the home country? They have properties and my brother in law who is living with them currently but he is 25. My father in law is retired and mother in law is a home maker currently.

4. Since my wife is pregnant is it ok to provide a doctor’s certificate during the interview?

Thanks,

arif

Hi My dad arrived last October, but no sign of GC or SSN yet. He got a biometric request last month and get it done. Wondering if anybody knows how much time it will take? 

Hello,

My Wife's GC will expire on December 2017. We already applied for I-751 and got the extension letter. She did her biometric also. We are planning to travel back to Bangladesh for three weeks in next year April-May time frame. My wife is worried about the Bangladesh Immigration. Her question is: Do BD Immigration police know what is the purpose of the extension letter. Did anybody from BD here in VJ travel to Bangladesh with an expired green card and extension letter. It will be great if you share your experience. 

Hello All

We applied for my wife’s ROC on September 9th.

Case was received and did Biomatric on October 2nd.

Yesterday I was checking the case processing timeline and found out CSC is processing July 2016 I751 cases now. So our plan is to apply for her N400 next year September and hopefully before it gets approved we will get 10 year green card. 

We have one question that is it safe to travel outside with the one year extension letter?

thanks 

Arif

Please let me know how long it takes to get back the passport from Simon center? Status showed issued in ceac.

interview November 24th. Dhaka embassy

interview November 24th. Dhaka embassy

Questions since couple of things changed between case complete and interview schedule.

1. Updated case to CR1 from F2A- I am sending my naturelization certificate photocopy and my US passport photocopy to my spouse for interview - will it be enough or will embassy ask for the orginal copy

2. I have Changed my Employer in between. I was a contractor and become permanent in the company. Little change in salary but good enough to sponsor my spouse. I am sending my original AOS with pay stub and employment verification letter which I have submitted to NVC. Also- I completed the new I864EZ, Signed and attaching my last three year tax transcript, Last three month pay stub and the new employment verification letter. will these all be sufficient?

3. My Wife go a new Passport since the current passport will expired within next 5 month. She will take the new and old passport with photocopies of both. will it be fine?

at last got interview letter ( took 2 months for NVC to read my email for case update request from F2A to CR1 with naturalization) on October 14th, Interview scheduled on November 24th

Hello All-

Need some help. My Spouse Interview is scheduled today for November 24th. My Petition was for F2A and later it was upgraded to CR`. We didn't got the interview letter yet. Here are my questions:

1. What are the original documents we have to carry during interview?

2. I have changed my job after our NVC case completion. Do I have to submit the new I864EZ? I don't have issue for sponsorship and I don't need a Joint one.

3. Since I have updated my cases do we have to show the original Neutralization certificate?

4. Will they allow me to go with her in the interview?

5. Is there any chance of getting AP, if so how long it will take for her, any idea?

6. How we can found out about Medical Appointment and when to take it?

Thanks in advance...

Same thing happened to me. Go and check in local post office with the tracking number, for me USPS said they delivered but I never got it then apply again and after 6 months i got it. Cost me another $450

I am in the same boat. I send my certificate on August 6th and case complete on August 20th but still in F2A. Called number of times and everytime I got the same answer. There is no time line for case update. One lady said it will take 42 days, but still no luck.

After a long time replying in this thread.

Today I had interview in Detroit USCIS office. Here is my experience:

My interview was at 8.25 a.m. i reached 5 mins before. Around 8.35 one nice lady called me in for interview. She asked me 6 questions and I answered those correctly.

1. What are the rules of law?

2. Which Ocean in west coast?

3. What is the legal age to vote

4. What happened in September 9th, 2001.

I forgot the last two questions

then she asked to read a sentence and wrote one as well, which I did. After that she quickly go over my N-400 application and all the Yes/No Questions. Then she told me Congratulation you passed your test and you can take the Oath tomorrow which is August 6th, 2015. Then she told me to wait for 15 mins to get the Oath letter. I got the letter after an hour. The whole interview was 15 mins.

So, I guess this the end of the citizenship journey. Thanks all for supporting and providing all kind of information. Also thanks a lot to Kash to maintain this tread up to dated. Congratulation to whom who already become citizen and good luck for all who is waiting for the interview.

Thanks Again!!

Give me the other thread link. You can not just remove my thread.

2015 US Passport Application Tracker List

Paid IV fee through money order on june 29th,

Today morning I found out it is showing paid in CESC website and able to access in DS-260, so i completed DS-260 and submit it.

Checked my case update today in USCIS and case the status updateded to in line for interview from June 16th. Please update.

You have to seperate the two packet if you dont want to get the checklist. It was listed also at their website that you have to use a different coversheet.You can use the AOS coversheet if IV is not yet available.

This is the list I got, optional because we are in a diff country. Someone send this list and he did not get any checklist.

Arranged it orderly base on the Document cover list that NVC will send you

AOS( Financial documents)

NVC Welcome letter

Document cover sheet ( you can print it after AOS shows paid)

I 864EZ (use it if you are the only person that being sponsored make sure not to leave any blanks and triple check it because this is the most common checklist)

Tax transcript 2011-2013

Tax return 2014

W2 2014

Certificate of employment or pay stub

xerox copy of permanent residence card

xerox copy of marriage contract

IV documents or Supporting documents

Document Cover sheet

Xerox copy of Birth certificate

Xerox copy of marriage contract

Xerox copy of NBI/Police clearance

Xerox copy of Passport Biographic page

Photograph 2 pcs

Hope it helps

Can you give me the website link. As far as I read from nvc.state.gov:

After you collect your Affidavit of Support form(s) and financial evidence in Step 4, and supporting documents in Step 5, you must submit all of your forms, financial evidence, and photocopies of your original civil documents in ONE package to the NVC. Your case may be significantly delayed if you fail to submit all of your documents in one package.

There is nothing said about two envelops. Also there is only one cover sheet which I got it from Welcome letter and AOS fee invoive. I got IV fee invoice email last night and there is no cover sheet is there. Also there is no link in CESC website about printing the AOS/IV coversheet.

for AOS document:

why I need to add 2011 tax transcript. I have to add last three year which is 2014-2012. why I need to add w2 and tax return for 2014, Permanent resident card copy and marriage certificate? per NVC if you submit I-864 EZ the following you will need.

If you completed Form I-864, I-864A, or I-864EZ and the income reported on this form or your tax return reflects income below the poverty guidelines for the year the form was submitted, submit evidence of your income. This can include the following documents:

• For those who are employed by an individual or company, submit a photocopy of an employment letter, pay stub, or pay advance (direct-deposit receipt) that meets the criteria below:
  • Includes your name and the company’s name;
  • Is on signed, business letterhead (you cannot sign the letter yourself); and
  • Is issued within the last three months.

marriage certificate is needed for I-864A, If you submit I-864 only you have to submit proof of residence if there is any joint sponser

here is the link:

http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/immigrate/immigrant-process/documents/Step_4_Collect_Financial_Documents.html

not coming back to two envelops. Attached picture of my coversheet where No 2 for financial support doc and No 3 support doc which makes me believe you have to send all these in one envelop/ package only. if you make two envelop how you are going to check mark the cover sheet.

Please don't get me wrong, i just want to avoid extra documentation since it might encourage them to give you a check list, because they will think since you submitted copy of permanent resident and marriage you might submit I864A or I864.

Anyway, thanks for your prompt response you and franklindamu was always helpful and I learnt a lot from you guyz.

Thanks,

Arif
