I am american citizen  and my mom is a green card holder. We would like to bring my sister who is 32 years old. What process would take shorter, if I apply or my mom applies if that is even possible? 

There are some tiktoks going around about a parole to reunite families. It says that if there is a petition that has been approved, you can apply to this parole and the person you applied for can come to the country  and wait for the process to be finalized here. What do you guys know about it? I have been wanting to apply for my sister but the process is soooo long that I don't know if it is even good the trying. According to this is only for a few countries not for all of them.

She can travel and return using her stamped passport.  Theoretically, a Green Card holder can remain outside the US for up to a year without a re-entry permit.

 Thanks for you answer. I know when I apply to renew her green card they are going to ask her how many days she was out of the country on those to years. I cna't find the link to make sure you doesn't stay more than the time she is supposed to be . 

Good morning, my mom got here at the end of february and she would like to go to visit Colombia for the summer. We haven't gotten her greencard yet. Still waiting for it. Can she go with the stamp in her passport? Or she needs the greencard? If she does how many days can she be out of the country? She is in the two year green card. Thanks in advance.

A quick question. My mom has her interview at the end of January. For the NVC I downloaded the tax transcripts from the IRS page. Will they work for the interview as well?

Thanks in advance.

I was asking myself the same question since my mom has her interview at the end of January. All I am adding is my last pay statements and maybe a copy of my contract.

Thanks so much for all the answers. I have been anxious trying to get everything ready for her interview. I have one last question if anybody can help me please.

When I submitted the tax transcripts to the NVC, I downloaded them from the IRS page. Are they good to take to the interview? would they be considered originals or just copies? Thanks in advance.

Visa for parents is IR5.  Please clarify what your mom's visa category is.  Also, are you the petitioner?

 

Yes, I am the petitioner. I am trying to bring my mom as a resident. I don't remeber the type of visa.

I don’t think “evidence of ongoing relationship” is required for your mom and they dont need your family pictures

 

What she needs is the original documents you supplied that established the parent-child relationship.  

 I am confused because of this.

if family based visa the documents will be the originals of NVC submitted documents

 

Before 4/15/22 u will use 2020 income 2021 is not needed till after 4 /15/ 2022

If you can get a letter from employer with hire dates and saying current income (along with last pay stub which shows year to date gross pay YTD),  it would be helpful

 

 

the list of needed documents should have been sent with notice of interview

 

If tourist visa  documents will be proof of property ownership,  job,  birth certificate,  Passport and National ID (if there is one) with English translations of documents 

 

USCIS has a list of needed documents per visa type 

 

Thanks a lot. I was thinking about the last pay stubs as well. 

It is a CR1 visa. In the notice of the interview they sent me a link but it didn't say specifically what to bring about the financial documents. I am just resending what I had put in at the NVC step.

Good evening, I am trying to collect the documents for my mom's interview. In the list of requirments, it says evidence. What kind of evidence can she bring? I am going to print some family pictures but what else can she bring? I don't have many records of messages because we mostly talk on face time. Thanks in advance.

Other question. Her interview is on January 31st, about the prove of income, I don't think we are going to have the new W2s or IRS transcripts at the time of the interview, so pay stuffs are enoug? Thanks again

I sent my papers to the NVC, the I-864 and I-864A. I wasn't sure about if I could sent digital signatures or they needed to be by hand. So I sent digital signatures for both documents. I didn't just pick a signature the computer gave me. I signed with my finger on my MAC. Surprisingly, my I-864 was accepted but my I-864A was rejected 😪. When I submitted the documents, I was more worried about them not being able to open the documents than the digital signatures. My advice to be on the safe side: send original signatures. It might not apply for everybody but it did for me. Now let's hope they don't take 2 more months 🙏

Hello everyone. I got answer from the NVC today and they rejected my I-864A because I did digital signatures. 😒 The funny part is that I sent my I-864 with digital signatures too but they accepted that one. Now, I have to sent the form again and wait for like two more months 🙁. 

I submitted it the papers to the NVC.   Hopefully it would go faster this time. Don't lose hope 🙏

Thanks for all your answers. I showed them to her. She said the accountant gave her a paper hopefully that works.

Good afternoon, I am asking this question for a friend.

NVC got back to me asking me for the W2 or 1099 from 2020 but because my husband is a self-employed we don't have any of those. What other financial document can I submit to prove our income? Thanks

For the I 130 do we need to hire a translater for the birth certificate recipient and death certicate of the other parent? It says to include the parents Passport.. Are they talking about a copy of it? 

I did the translations myself adding the statement saying that you are fluent in both languages. All I did for the I 130 were copies.

When submitting tax info, you submit "tax transcript" OR "tax return and W2".

 

You can submit just the last year filed or the last 3 years. The choice is up to you. The form clearly states that year 2 and 3 are optional

Thanks. I just got the transcripts from the IRS. So to make sure since I got the transcripts from the IRS, I don't need the W2s? Sorry for asking the same question over and over. I just want to make sure I do it right.

A quick question: I am uploading the Civil documents for the NVC. When it says upload a photography, what kind of photography do they mean? Thanks

Use the IRS transcript. Less paperwork.

Use your joint return. You have already filed and trying to separate out you income now will cause more headache for you.

They need taxes for the last year, submitting more than that is a personal preference but stronger case to show your income.

 

To reduce your stress level, start from the top, forget about the rest of the forms. finish with the first item before going to the next. One thing at a time and you will discover that it is really very easy. Don't try to read too much meaning into it. Just respond to each item/question fully then go to the next one.

Thanks. I am trying to get the IRS taxes but they blocked me for 24 hours because I couldn't prove my identity.

Yeah, I am going to use my husband as a join sponsor.

Do you think I need to submit W2s for all the three years or just for the last year? Do I need more evidence?

Good afternoon, I am at the NVC stage now applying for my mom and I feel so lost trying to do this Form I-864. I make enough income so I don't want to use my husband as my joint sponsor because I just want to do less paper work. We file jointly. I don't understand how to find my actual income for last year in the tax retur. I don't know what is better to submit if the tax return from Turbo tax or the IRS ones. IRS blocked me for 24 hours when I was trying to prove my identity. I don't know what other evidencie should I submit. I don't know if I should submit just the last year or the last three years. I get overwhelmed with all these papers and I don't want to confuse my mom when I have to send all the papers either. I saw the tax return in Turbo Tax for the year 2018 and It is more than 100 pages 🤯.  Please if someone who has done the NVC this year can guide me I would appreciate it.

I wish. Only at the first application. Going to the NVC now. 

My mom's application got approved!!!!  I sent it  in August 8th 2020. Don't lose your hope for the people still waiting. Service Center is Potomac.

Does it really matter?  USCIS can transfer the case anywhere it wants and whenever it wants to balance their workload. 

It does because according to processing times you can do an Inquiry.
