Ever heard of Trump ?

So 11 weeks from the day we receive the case number to sending to the embassy?

It is 11 weeks from the date they receive your AOS packet to when it leaves the NVC for the embassy 

I called to se if they had received my documents. Thankfully they did. I thought I 'd  let tou folks know as fyi

FYI

I called the NVC on two separate occasions (for accuracy) and was advised to send in the correct version of the document w the cover sheet along with a note explaining the situation 

I just sent a I-864 Affidavit of Support for my wife. One of the required documents was a translation of our marriage document as the original is olin the native language. 

We had an official translation to English made.  However, later on we had another one made due to some spelling errors and formatting issues. 

When I filed her CR1  I-130,  I sent the updated version of the translation. But when I submitted the I-864, I ended up sending the older version. 

Both documents look different as they were made by different vendors/translaters

My dilemma is should I wait and see if the NVC asks for clarification or should I call the NVC and ask them how to send the correct version of the translation? 

Your input will be greatly appreciated 

This is what either the beneficiary takes to interview or rhe agent acting on behalf of the beneficiary submits to tje NVC

Here is something a wpnder

This is from a wonderful fellow vj member:

Questions asked:

What visa did you have while in US?

Did you first meet your husband in DC?

When did you first see each other?

Were you/he married before? Do you have any children? Does he have children?

How many times has your husband visited your home country?

Did you get married in DC? How many people attended? Did you also celebrate in Slovenia?

How did he come to the US - What was his immigration status? When did he become citizen?

What does he do? Who is the employer?

What did you study? Where? Where did you work?

Did you live anywhere else except Slovenia and the US?

Did you meet his parents?

Talked her into checking wedding photos.

What is your mom's name and where were you born.

Do you already have a job in DC? When are you planning to leave?

Everything was more like a conversation not interview.

When she finished with questions, she said all documents look OK, so does medical exam. I hoped to hear Congrats, you've been approved, but instead, she proceeded to explain that they will contact me in about 7 days (via email) to let me know when I can come pick up passport. She explained a couple more things regarding the (conditional) green card. So overall, it was a pleasant experience.

The status on CEAC website still says Ready, just like it did before the interview. Hopefully it changes to Issued soon and I can pick up passport with visa in it. It seems more difficult to wait now at the end of the process

My cousin had this issue. I scheduled an appointment with a USCIS officer at a nearby USCIS office.

You can schedule an appointment onliny. If you are not able to go to a ISCIS

Hello all,

I know I am at the opposite side of the spectrum here, however I got a $120.00 invoice dated October 14, 2016. The letter that accompanied it indicates that I have one year to take action otherwise its back to square one. Having said that, I was wondering what the due date for this fee is ? Do I have a year to pay? The due date would not be an issue but I am facing some financial hurdles right now and it would sure help to find out how long I have to pay this fee.

Thanks guys,

Aghaaz0719

aghaaz my friend, a word of advice don't count the days based upon other peoples case status, you will be surprised how one case can differ from the next. 2 Completely identical cases can have 2 different completion times.

At this point, you are just worrying for no reason. I have seen cases take up to 6 months sometimes a year to produce NOA2.

Good advice my friend. I appreciate it

Well Well Weellll, look what the USCIS texted me today !!

On September 28, 2016, we sent your case, Receipt Number YSCxxxxxx368, to the Department of State for visa processing. Please visit our website for general information on Consular Processing. If you move, go towww.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

Now that I come to think of it, thanks to all of you ... I realize that I was worrying for nothing. I really appreciate everyone helping me out !

Finally I have a question for all of you. I got my NOA1 on 7/25/2016. And I have yet to receive a NOA2. I have been observing other members and their files are at the NVC already, and thats why I am concerned.

Do you think I am concerned for nothing ? Or whether calling USCIS will help (I am so busy I dont what to waste time so if you guys think I should cal them then I surely will).

Thanks in advance

Hello,

Filing an immigration is nerve wrecking. It is normal to get paranoid. However, you do not need to fill it out again. The fact that you have indicated that he is deceased, even if your writing went outside the borders on the form, is more than enough. If you can easily fill out another G325 then great. Otherwise, do not overwhelm yourself by worrying.

For my peace of mind, I sent it priority mail and had it certified with signature confirmation. Given all the time and effort put into sending the petition, it doesnt hurt to spend a few bucks for peace of mind.

Alright, let me help you out as there is a lot of bad information going back and forth on this matter. Simply answer the question. Write her name in Gujrati and call it a day. Putting in NA or leaving it blank might end up generating an RFE asking you to provide her name in Gujrati after all. Why chance an RFE over something so simple ????

yes you can. it's a special form. I opened my own account with a US and Canada bank, and was also added to my husbands USAA account. They're a military bank and used to foreign spouses. It's perfectly fine to do so. That doesn't mean he can USE the bank in his country, just that he can be added to the USC's account.

Wow... thats amazing and GREAT to know. While I dont need something like this right now, but you never know. And I will definitely pass it to an VJer who may find this handy. Thanks !

I checked my US bank account today.....SUCCESS! The added my husband's name to the account! Yayyyyy.

Thanks for all the help everyone. So it seems they can add people without an ITIN or SSN.

OK, let me get his straight. Your husband is not a US Citizen or Green Card holder, right ? And then you were able to add him to your US bank account without an ITIN or Social Security number ? If that is the case, I would double check this. It doesnt sound right. I dont mean to rain on your parade, but you must have these type of things straight otherwise they can cause irreparable damage. I dont want that to happen to you.

Yes definitely call or even email them. It is very possible that the embassy may not be issuing certified copies at that time but they do so now. Needless to say, the geopolitical landscape is constantly changing, especially between the US and Russia a d that definitely impacts immigration.

For example there is a couple on VJ from a certain middle eastern country whose noa1 was issued on the same date and same uscis processing center. Their file reached the NVC on 9 September while I am still praying for my NOA2. I wish you all the best

They made a certified copy of her non-US passport and it was accepted by the IRS? How much did it cost?

Yes, they provided a notarized copy of her Pakistani passport. It had an official seal and signature of the US Consulate. The fee was USD 50.00, payable in either dollars or local currency.

As for a certified copy of your passport, you need to contact the US Embassy. They are the ones who certify your passport for years purpose of ITIN. My wife had hers done at the US Embassy on Islamabad.

I found this. It may help.

Do you have any money transfers (Western Union,Moneygram etc). That can help towards comingling of financial affairs
