Hey guys 

At the NVC stage now all fees paid . Was just going through the DS-260 and had a question. Apologies if this has been asked before I looked and couldn't find the tread.

During the approval for the I-130 process my company has changed offices. The company name remains the same etc and my position remains the same.

So should I list the previous address as previous employment

or

Should I just write the same employer but different address for the DS-260.  In this case should I send a small letter i.e. in response to question so and so our work offices have changed and the new address is written in the from online . Also I am assuming I would need to send the g-325A with the new address . Should I send that to the NVC as well 

Thanks in advance and good luck in your process 

Hi 

we are just completing the additional documents required for the nvc stage. Everything seems to be in order but the applicant requires a police certificate from Canada as he was studying there for college. We just received a copy of the police certificate and there is a typo in he home address. Everything else is ok but they added and extra X in the home address. 

It was was quite a pain to get the police certificate in the first place as you need to send your fingerprints to the company in Canada who then submits them electronically. We have spoken to them and they are saying that it shouldn't be a problem and I should check with the nvc. 

What at so you guys think ?

additonally do the ask nvc people respond to specific queries such as this one through their website .

I was thinking there is a chance they could ignore this but I don't want to send them all the documents and then get a request for the corrected certificate 

Tried the nadra office  no help there they said try the union council. Now trying the Union Council for the area. On their website they list certificates for new births only

Hi Guys 

I am at the NVC stage getting the documents ready. I am trying to figure out how to get a birth certificate in Lahore. I have the old one which was issued from the Hospital but as far as I can see this wont be acceptable on its on and I need a NADRA Birth Certificate . Is this correct ?

Anyone know what the process is to get a NADRA birth certificate in Lahore.

Just received the physical approval letter. Strangely it has someone else NOA2 someone in the Philippines. What do you guys suggest I do should we contact USCIS.

Hello!

I'm not sure where you're based abroad, but the RCMP website has a list of companies that sends them the digitized fingerprints that they use to check your criminal record.

I didn't check all the companies, but it looks like the National Pardon Center does it internationally, (https://nationalpardon.org/international-fingerprinting-services/) you could see if the other companies do as well

Good luck!

Hi Thanks

Found a company which is doing slightly less and seems to be accredited.

Found an answer to my question actually emailed the company apparently a photo shows up if you go to their office. If you send fingerprints then there is no photo.

Hopefully that is sufficient for NVC.

Approved today . Pd was 22nd June. Nebraska

Approved today . Pd was 22nd June. Time to get police certificates in order

Hi Guys

Applying from somewhere else but this relates to the Certified Criminal Record Check from Canada so I thought I would post it here.

I studied in canada for 4 yours so I am going to need a Certified Criminal Record Check ( Apparently the name check wont do) . I am currently based abroad so I was looking at for one of those companies that digitises your fingerprints and submits them on your behalf. Anyone have any recommendations.

Secondly I was wondering about the photo in the centre of the Certified Criminal Record Check. Some of the sample certificates have them some of them dont. Does the photo only show up if you are in the system. Cause as far as I can tell the companies that digitise dont ask for photos . The process takes a little while do I dont want to mess this up

Thanks for reading

Did anyone get an alert about the case. I got a message on the USCIS app that the Case Result Changed. But when I checked all they did was remove the words "Immigrant Petition for Relative Fiance(E) or Orphan" to "Petition for Alien Relative" all the dates etc remain the same.

Hoping that this means they are at least looking at the file

Got an alert from the USCIS app too today. Hopefully this means someone is looking at the file

Filed last week. We got routed to Nebraska as well ( it seems quite a lot of people here were ) . It seems to be one of the slowest service centers . Oh well now the 4+ months of waiting begins.

thanks guys . We sent the package a couple of days ago.

We used USPS it took a day and cost something like ~ $ 25

HI

Did a search couldn't find anything.

Is it possible to drop off of the I-130 petition in person at the Chicago lockbox. My wife is currently near Chicago and is planning to go there Monday for some work so it would be easier is she could leave it in the office

thanks

Thanks Kastrs appreciate the help

oh I had one more question regarding the photos. How many photos is too many. We just shortlisted but we have around a hundred is that too much. ?

Also we werent sure about applying for a spouse visa till a month back so our photos are very random. ( taken at someones wedding , taken at someones birthday) .If I dont have a date or location can I just write early feb etc

Hello people

We are going to file the i-130 for the CR1 visa soon. Just a had a few pakistan specific questions.

1.) I see most people getting translations of documents specially the nikahnama. However Our nikahnama is in English as well ( there are 2 nikahnama's both are original both are signed and stamped one is in english and one is in Urdu). So do I just send copies of both ? I know its not required but I am going to send a copy of the NADRA marriage certificate anyway.

2.) What do you guys send as proof of bonafide marriage (we have been married for just over 6 months). We have lots of photos marriage invitation cards and proof of travel together . The USC is not working and doesn't have an account so we dont have any evidence of financial co mingling. The house we are living in is owned by my parents . We are currently thinking of submitting the following

Proof of bona fide relationship

Evidence A – A short summary of our story

Evidence B – Sample of Whatsapp chat logs

Evidence C – Extra copy of Marriage invitation card

Evidence D – Photos

Evidence E – Photos of our engagement and marriage as covered by local newspaper

Evidence F – Details of our trip abroad for our honeymoon

Do you guys think this is enough?

thanks for reading

Thanks for the information guys. It seems like it would be smart to get another co-sponsor as we checked our local embassy information and they seems to prefer income to assets. So even if we get past the NVC stage we should have a co-sponsor lined up.

We have talked to a couple of people in regarding this and they have some questions.

Firstly someone mentioned that if you sponsor someone they can’t sponsor someone else for 10 years? Is this the case? Our understanding was that if the person has sufficient income above the poverty guidelines they can sponsor as many people as they want. Is there a guidelines or legal document that clarifies this

Secondly if the person is sponsoring someone does the beneficiary get added to the household size for any subsequent sponsorship?

Finally are there any tax implications for the sponsor. Do they have to keep mentioning that they sponsored someone on their tax returns etc? If the beneficiary doesn’t take any means tested benefits can they basically ignore the i-864 .

Hey Guys

Just starting the process for the CR1/IR1 Visa. This website has been a great help. I think we have more or less figured out the USCIS I-130 process. However we are having an issue with the I-864(the AOS) and want to make sure we have the correct information before proceeding any further. There seem to be a lot of threads for the I-864 but we haven’t been able to find something relevant to our case.

The USC in our case is living abroad and not working. Hence we need a joint sponsor. We have managed to find someone who is willing to be the joint sponsor. However the person is not currently working but has some investments in real estate. We are still trying to clarify the matter with the joint sponsor but our current understanding is as follows. The Joint sponsor owns the real estate asset through a company where he is the only owner. The company has no other business besides buying and selling real estate. The property the joint sponsor owns is worth 5x the poverty threshold. Would the tax assessment of the property be sufficient along with the proof of ownership of the company?

The property is currently listed for sale for 15X the property threshold however my understanding is that the tax assessment is generally lower than this value. Secondly if the tax assessment is less than the required threshold can we submit a property evaluation instead to prove the value of the asset.
