Hi Sona,

are  you filing two I-864? One for you and one for the main sponsor?

My PD is April 4, 2016 and I have got a WL, I completed Choice of agent form and paid AOS fee, what is the next?

My income is low and I have my friend as a co sponsor, my question is should I have to complete I-864 also? what about my friend ? should I have to show myself as a sponsor on I-864 even my friend is going to be a main sponsor?

Thank you in advance 

 My income is low and I am getting a co-sponsor, should I fill the I-864 form too? I mean should I file two separate I-864? one for me and one for my friend who is the main sponsor

It needs to be a person, not a business.

So your friend's business cannot co-sponsor, but your friend, if s/he makes enough in their self-employed taxes, can. The co-sponsor need not be a family member or even live in the sane area.

Thanks Penguin, what's the difference between Co-Sponsor and Joint Sponsor?

Hello Friends,

Can the Business be a Joint Sponsor?

I am the Petitioner (bringing 16 y.o son to US) and my income is low than required, can my friend's business be a joint sponsor?

Is the joint sponsor should be one of my relatives or it can be anyone?

Thank you,

Milly 

2016 April filers Any news from NVC???

A clue to your question is right at the start of the N-400 form - question 1) box B

 

"Have been a lawful permanent resident of the United States for at least 3 years. In addition, you have been married to and living with the same U/S Citizen spouse for the last 3 years, and your spouse has been a U.S Citizen for the last 3 years at the time you filed your Form N-400"

 

(My bolding)

 

I read differing reports on this. Some say that if it is true when you file, that once filed, you can separate/divorce and it will not affect the process, others say that at the time of the interview and/or oath you must still be living in 'marital union' (that is the phrase you need to research) or you will be denied and have to wait the extra two years.  I find more evidence pointing to the latter scenario if I am honest.

 

Regardless of what you choose to do, do observe the golden rule : do not ever lie to USCIS. Ever.

 

 

 

Thank you for your honest advise, I am not even thinking to lie, just I could not find the answer to my question about " Will divorce affect to obtaining Citizenship in 3 years?" I have got to many different answers from people thats the reason why I posted this Topic on this website

My question is;

A spouse of USC can apply for Citizenship after 3 years of marriage right?

If the couple  got divorce during this 3 years does it affect to this 3 years of waiting time? 

Hello Everyone,

I am a 10 year Green Card Holder, My husband is a US Citizen

Can I still apply for citizenship in 3 years if I will divorce him ? 

Thank you,

Just like a sponsor, joint sponsor must be:a/ a citizen or  a national of the US or an alien admitted lawfully to the US for permanent residence

b/ at least 18 years of age

c/ domiciled in the US (has to have US address)

So for short - no, he can not be a joint sponsor unless he has at least a green card.

I see..  Thank you for the information then I will start  looking for a joint sponsor

Column B tells you when you are eligible to start NVC processing (the 6 steps). Column A tells you when you are eligible to be scheduled for an interview. With PD April 4th (same like mine), we are pretty much concerned about the Column B now so we can start the filing process.

Thank you so much, now I know where to follow

First i called nvc, after a couple of weeks i received a letter with my case number and notifying that there's no visa available.

I called to NVC then they send me an email with case number and IID

Hi Milli;

Is your son here in the US (you will be doing adjustment of status) or he is abroad (consular processing). Also, just to make sure - are you a  permanent resident or a US citizen?

My son is out of US in our home country,

yes I am a LPR

Hey everybody,

Just quick question about sponsor

I have not have a good income so can my BF be a sponsor for my son, the issue is he isnt either US Citizen or GC holder, he has his SSN and work authorization card, he has processing asylum case now

Hi,

Please help, should I submit a Police Report to NVC for 14 year old kid?

Thanks in advance,

Are you in F2A category? Or CR1?

F2A

You will need to wait most properly a couple of more months before you can submit your documents to the NVC.

You can prepare most of them already, also try to get your police certificates in a month or two so that you have

them valid when NVC stage appears. My gut feeling says maybe 3-4 months more wait. Others will know more.

So you are saying that Ds-261 Choice of address will be available to fill after 3-4 months ?

I was so happy when got the NVC case number I thought they started to process my case... I didnt know that there will be another waiting time even after getting IIN and case# from NVC

what is your pd?

My PD is April 4, 2016

nvc will contact within a year or 6 month before your pd become current. they will start to collect fee and documents

I got the IIN and case number from NVC but can not fill the online form DS-261

Also can not pay the fees online, so what does it mean?

I filed for F2A visa for my teenage son

Hello friends,

After 2 months of waiaitng from the USCIS date of approval, I decided to write NVC to get IIN and Case number

NVC emailed me both numbers

Now I can not fill the online formDS-261 and can not pay the fee

the Ceas page says that case in not eligible for further processing by NVC at this time

Please guys anybody knows what does it mean?

Sorry.

Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do but wait for your son's PD to become current to continue the case.

What is the PD means?

For Immediate Relative cases (USC petitioner required), then it would not take long at the NVC after USCIS approves the I-130.

For Family Based cases like yours where the petitioner is an LPR, visas are limited. Your son needs to wait for an available visa. The current wait when an LPR petitions for an unmarried child is about 2 years.

How did you get your green card? US spouse?

I have got my GC through the marriage with USC but we are separated now

I have a very sad story... My husband has a drinking problem so our marriage failed, the other reason He didnt want to apply for my son (his step-son)

So I had to file by myself as a LPR

So NVC is holding the cases up to 2 years? I thought since you get approved at USCIS the NVC will not take long time.?
