Why did you send a request about biometrics? What's the rush?

 

USCIS doesn't need your biometrics until they're actually ready to pick up your case to go through it. Until then, the biometrics would just be sitting there in the system anyway, of no use. 

 

Many people only get their biometrics appointments a year or more after filing.

Me geting to the office is a pain in the butt. I dont want to have to go get the stamp and then go back for biometrics so ideally i would want it around a year i guess so i could do both

7 months and still waiting for a bio-metrics letter stating they need them or not,ugh 

😨

Ah we are still waiting ourselves but we expected this. Even though its been six months =[

Keep your heads up everyone they are moving along

We spoke to someone and they said they sent out our notice on Dec 18th.

We are still waiting and hope it comes.

Our local office is not accepting walk in's OR info pass appointments anyone know what's up with that?

Unfortunatley we are looking at 19-20 months now. I am too, at LIN.

If it takes over a year do they send you another letter to extend?

All over Visa Journey.

 

WAC was previously called Western Adjudication Center, hence the WAC abbreviation, known today as California Service Center

EAC was previously called Eastern Adjudication Center, known today as Vermont Service Center

LIN - it refers to Lincoln, NE - Nebraska Service Center

SRC - Southern Regional Center, known today as Texas Service Center

So we got LIN. I know everyone was hoping for EAC. Whats the time line for LIN?

Both checks cashed a few days ago(Sent two checks one for each amount) and got the text/email that the case has been taken in and got a receipt number.

At least this happened 😜

Yes it was suppose to be one check....:-/

Ah should be fine if not i guess we get our packet back and send one check x.x;

By the way we sent two checks one for the 595 and one for the 85 was i suppose to do one check?

Our package has been there since monday,hope to hear something soon. Even if it's just our checks being cashed.

We sent it right on time,we have a full 90 days until her GC expires.

Sounds like an error if she already has her green card.  Suggest she call them none-the-less. 

Yeah we are in the Netherlands now,I sent an email and it was just the timing that she’s out of the country that scared her but I told her not to worry odds are it’s a fluke.

Hello,

  my wife and I received an email stating that the NVC received our documents two years ago. We already used got and used her visa and she is on her two year green card now.

we aren’t close enough to start the move to a ten year yet.

She is a little worried this is probably just a mistake or is there a reason for it?

Wrong. There are millions of couples who didn't provide wedding photos and had no problems. My husband and I included. 

 

OP:You'll be fine.

Uh excuse me?

I said there -Not- mandatory 

But most of us would advise having pictures,i never said it is required.. Quite the opposite.

Read please.

Pictures are not mandatory but it is highly advised.

Pictures with each others families are a good thing to have them see.

Submitted a copy of what I thought to be an original birth certificate to establish my US citizenship as the I-130 petitioner. Turns out, my birth certificate was seen as an abstract, or abbreviated version, and not the true document. In my RFE, it said that I needed to re-send a birth certificate that "is a registered civil authority issued birth certificate that contains the name of the child, date and place of birth, full name(s) of the parent(s), doctor/attendant's name, hospital name, registrar's signature, and the date the certificate was filed with the registrar's office."

 

Lesson learned for me - I wish I had sent my US passport to show my citizenship as petitioner and not my birth certificate. The passport is standardized, and offers less room for error.

Yeah,you always should send the long versions of anything you can.

I sent my birth certificate and passport. I was not leaving room for error.

She will have to do a new medical.

At POE they check your medical files to make sure they are in date and by an approved doctor.

The embassy should be able to guide you.

It really can differ and you supplied no info.

Go look at some timelines and that should help.

Where your case was sent is a big factor to give you time.

Just keep your head up and plan ahead. Be sure to know what you need for the up-coming phases.

Listen we can all guess but you need to be patient.

This is a process with a-lot of waiting time.

So i really advise the CR-1 for multiple reasons.

1. It's cheaper by like 650$ (Not exact but you get the idea)

2. You are already living together so time does not matter as much. Some like the Fiance visa because you get to be together faster.

Please understand though you have to prove you are active in the US. Have to prove domicile.

Quote

on Form I-864, petitioners must prove that they have the ability to financially support the visa applicant(s) if necessary. But the petitioner must alsoprove that his or her country of domicile is the United States.

Do some research. A-lot of research. Get all the info you can. That is my personal opnion to you,my advice to you.

Well do you wanna get married in the US?

Are you tight for money? (Don't mean to pry)

I personally advise marrying outside the states and going for the CR-1.

What do you prefer? To marry her at the US? Get a Fiance visa.

What kind of Visa are you on?

Printed versions of a hand-signed and scanned G-325A from the beneficiary are accepted. That has been the case for several years now. Nobody has been issued an RFE for this reason in several years.

 

It is against VJ's TOS to provide advice on or condone illegal behavior.

I was mistaken but it has only been like 5 months they changed it
