Thanks all, we did end up going. I didn't know walk ins were possible, and it would have been very difficult anyway as we were out of state until a day ago.

So I have a dilemma.....we received the notice for my husband's biometrics appointment around Oct. 9th, scheduled for the 19th (today). We immediately sent a reschedule request since it would be near impossible to make it to this appointment with my husband's work schedule. We still have not received a rescheduled date, and I when I called to find out if it had been rescheduled or not, I was told that "there's no way to know" and not going to the original appointment date today is the risk we take with rescheduling My question is, how bad would it be to miss the appointment today and wait for our supposed rescheduling?

The number is on your i-797, the NOA1 letter you recieved way back when, probably a LIN, SRC, EAC,WAC or something like that

Its the number that tracks your case from submission, I'm assuming you haven't deleted all your emails from when you filed

Oh, I didn't know that was the number she was asking for....thanks!

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but....my husband's green card never arrived, due to issues with our mailing address where mail was being returned to sender. I called the appropriate USCIS number to get the card resent, but the woman I spoke to said I need to have the immigrant fee receipt number before she can help me. I do not have it in any of my records, and I cannot access my information through the ELIS site anymore, it seems.

What should I do?

Approved!!! My husband had his interview on the 28th, it was extremely easy. Already received the visa by mail. Thanks VJ!

Ok, so my husband did his medical at Seibo and picked up the results the next day after 4pm, no extra charge

I'm a little confused where the interview letter lists documents, it says IV application part 1 and part 2.....should I print the whole DS 260 or just the confirmation page?

Hospital mails result in 5 working days. I know you can pick up result in shorter time

Thank you!

How long does it take to get your medical results? The only medical appointment we could get is three days before my husband's interview, and I'm nervous about how close they are...

So, the only medical date available for us is three days before my husband's interview. Will this be a problem, so close to the interview?

Also, I'm wondering how important it is to "overprepare" and bring all documents to the interview, even ones the NVC are supposed to send with your file. It would be a pain to get my joint sponsor's I864 and tax info all over again, plus the only certified translation I had of my husband's birth certificate I sent to the NVC, etc.....

better safe than sorry?

Got the P4 email....and of course I still haven't gotten our CC letter, email or physical. Not that it matters much lol

Interview has been scheduled!! 9/28

Things have gone quite well for you. You went through the NVC pretty smoothly.

I did, I can't quite believe it but I'm very thankful.

Got my CC on 8/15!! Scan date 7/27

Case completed on 8/15!!!

rkyuu, congratsssss:)

what was your scan date? And when did you submit your ds-260?

Thanks! All my info is in my signature scan date 7/27, submitted ds-260 8/05

Just checked the website and saw three N/As!! Will call NVC to confirm.

Just got an email from the NVC with my scan date, 7/27

I was just able to pay my IV fee

Same here, our IV invoice got billed the 21st and I can't pay it online yet.

Also, sent off AOS and IV packages today

Called NVC and apparently my DS-261 was reviewed the on the 10th. I haven't gotten the IV bill invoice in the mail yet, and I can't pay it online yet either....

Hello fellow Visa people,

So, we got a notice from USCIS that our I-130 is "in process", we got it by mail last week, but still no email notificaton.

It is apparently going through the California office and the time listed for their site is "5 months". Does this mean we (possibally) won't even get a NOA for up to 5 months?

I felt really depressed when I read that, and in turn so did my husband.

Words of encouragment or personal stories apperciated.

You got your NOA1 by mail last week? Don't worry too much about the email.

Are you living in Japan with your husband? If the petitioner is living overseas, your case has a good chance of being auto-expedited. That's what happened for me and my husband, we got our NOA2 in about a month. If your case is not expedited, the wait time unfortunately is 5 months.

What documents is needed for the affidavit?

I got letter of employment, pay stubs, and tax returns. Would that be enough?

In addition to what you have, you should provide proof of US domicile(if you're not living in the US). If you didn't order tax return transcripts from the IRS and are using your actual tax returns, you need to also include your W-2s, 1099s, etc.

Yep!! I was just able to log in too! Hopefully this means things will start to move fast!!!

Me too! Yay!

Hi there, I'm putting together my AOS package and I want to make sure a few things are correct.

For my (petitioner) i-864

- part 5, household size, because my husband is counted in number 1, I don't count him in number 3, right?

- I did not file 2014 taxes because I'm living abroad and unemployed. I know I need to include a letter of explanation for that, but should I bother to include my 2013/2012 tax transcripts? I was just a college student waiting tables, my income wasn't much.

For my joint sponser (stepdad)

My stepdad files jointly with my mom, but he says that she does not have income counted on their tax forms, so only his income makes up the total. If that's the case, then my stepdad doesn't need to include his W-2s/other proof that his income alone is enough? (because I heard that this might be a problem for couples who file jointly.)

Thanks!
