Hi!
My husband (the beneficiary) received a call from the US Embassy in Doha yesterday telling him to bring in a few documents ahead of time. They requested the original and copy of the police clearance, his birth certificate, our marriage certificate along with the medical report. Is this normal for them to request it in advance? The embassy appointment isn't until the 19th. They also sent us an email confirming the same request.

Hi, I thought it was 3x the amount, but the IO (immigration officer) interviewing us said "the requirement is actually higher if you're not working in the US" but he didn't know what that figure was and said he'll calculate it later, and if there is a problem, then he'll be in contact with the next steps.... Not wanting to risk having to delay the process/ submit more paperwork, I just gave him my joint-sponsor's AOS form.. Unfortunately the computers were down so we didn't experience all the "typing" that so many people have mentioned in their interviews... This is probably why he said "will calculate later" as he knew he couldn't complete our file at the moment..
When I got the following checklist, which from my understanding is a standard one everyone receives if using assets.. I didn't think anything of it.. When i called the NVC to get my interview date, they told me that I received a checklist but it's ok, you can have a joint sponsor, can have several, Just need to bring the AOS forms to the interview.. I explained, but wait, I thought i did qualify, it's over 3x more... She said, well no, it's actually more.. Saying 5x more.. So if your assets are valued 5x more, you should be fine. If not, would def suggest bringing a back up joint sponsor just in case....
Did you receive the following checklist? This is the one I received.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR: JB
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
______F - FINANCIAL EVIDENCE:______________________________________
We reviewed the Affidavit of Support (Form I-864) and financial evidence you sent to the National Visa
Center (NVC). According to the current poverty guidelines for a household of your size, the income you
listed does not meet the minimum requirement to sponsor the intending immigrant(s) on this petition. If
you provided NVC with proof of assets in lieu of income in order to meet the minimum income
threshold, please note these assets will not be evaluated by NVC and will only be considered at the time
of the visa interview.
NVC will continue working on your case and will schedule a visa interview appointment overseas. If
you have not included evidence of your assets in your submission to NVC, please make sure that you
bring the evidence to the interview appointment. If you do not have proof of assets to meet the
minimum income requirement, we recommend that you seek a joint financial sponsor or a household
member to join you in financially supporting these immigrant family members.
If you choose to add joint sponsors or household members, please have them complete the appropriate
Affidavit of Support form and give it to the visa applicant to submit at their visa interview, along with
supporting financial evidence such as IRS tax returns. Do not send these documents to NVC. During
the visa interview a consular officer will review any proof of assets that you submitted and any
additional sponsorship documents.

Thanks for the info!
No, I didn't receive this or any checklist and I didn't use a joint sponsor so I'm hoping that we are ok? I don't know if I should just have my mom fill out an AOS just in case...? Can she do that? Like my husband could just take it with him in case they needed more? We have assets in the states plus income from a rental property so it seemed like it would be enough according to the poverty guidelines but I don't really want to risk it if it's something that we can prepare for ahead of time.
JUST GOT OUR P4 LETTER IN EMAIL!!!!
Interview set for September 19th!!!!!!
FINALLY.... it's been a journey but there's finally a light at the end of the tunnel!!

First of all... A HUGE CONGRATS!! What great news, we are all so happy for you as you have been nothing but a godsend to all of us!
I have a question for you regarding the financial situation.
Do you know the requirements if you are using assets vs. using income?
I am the petitioner and working in Qatar right now but obviously will be moving back to the states once the immigration is complete... so we just used assets on our documents.The NVC approved without having a joint sponsor so now I'm nervous if the Embassy will make an issue out of it or not...
Do you know the calculation for the amount you should have in assets?

Just got off the phone with NVC-- was informed that they are just waiting for the embassy to schedule the interview.
She wasn't able to give me any more information-- sometimes the interviews get made quickly, other times they can take a while to get an appointment.
I was really hoping for some good news today but we will just keep waiting and praying everyday!
BTW - we are going through the US Embassy in Doha, Qatar and our CC date was July 17

Hello!
Im waiting for an interview date from the NVC to take place at the US embassy here in Doha too.
My case was completed on June 23rd so I've been waiting for almost a month and a half. I've contacted the embassy and they said I have to wait for an email from the NVC regarding my interview. You have to follow up with the NVC via phone, the embassy won't help.
I hope you have better luck than me in getting an interview date!
Hi!
glad to see someone else using the Doha embassy in here! But super frustrating not knowing when the interview will be. Did you get a hard copy of the P4 letter or just the emailed copy? I'm a little confused on what to expect to be getting.
-
How long after CC should we be receiving the P4 letter?
We got our CC on July 17 but still no letter in the mail... only an email saying that the NVC received all documents and that we are now in the queue awaiting an interview appointment (we received this email on July 24).
Confused on if I should call the NVC or the US Embassy here in Doha regarding the appointment?

Just got off the phone with NVC they said no more appointments for August..she said at the end of the month they will receive another batch of dates from the embassy for September interviews. Fingers crossed my hubby gets one of those dates.
Too bad about that... was really hoping to squeeze into an August appointment. Hopefully we will be first in line for September appointments.

No problem, updated the spreadsheet with the description of RFE, hope it helps
Would you recommend I send the entire form again or just those pages?
I would send everything again, and, as others have suggested, put your case number on each and every page. We didn't do that but I've heard of other people getting pages lost (like you) so this may help. So sorry you're going through this, it's frustrating.

I'm sure this question has been asked and answered before but I haven't been able to find it anywhere--
Does the NVC schedule the interview time or do we have to wait for the embassy to contact us?
We just got our NVC CC on July 17 and I'm hoping that my husband will get his interview before my son and I leave the country to move back to the states (Sept. 10) as I would like to come with him to the interview.
Just reading some of the posts where people were saying that the interview times for August are already finished-- is that country specific or just in general they are all finished for August?
Thanks so much!! xx

No..delayed😓so so upset. No where does it say they need her proof of citizenship. And it also says if she is/has been on your tax documents..the proof is already stated. ...but now they want proof. So crazy really. I just want to give up. But I can't. I will mail the passport copy tomorrow😔
I've learned that it's better to send too much than not enough. At least then you will have a lower chance of getting asked to provide more documents. Sorry you are going through this, hopefully it will be fast!

Hi!
Since we checked this morning our case now says "AT NVC", however, there is no summary information available and no AOS information posted.
Can someone fill me in on why I can't see any summary info?
I'm hopeful that this is good news for us!
THANKS!

It will be "submit requested documents" until you get CC, after CC it will change to "At NVC"
Thanks!! Great to see another Iran person here!

Hi!
Here's my info!
Scan Date: May 25, 2017
Embassy: Doha, Qatar
Expected CC: August 10, 2017 (11 week)
NVC page still says for us to submit documents. I had called and confirmed that they had received everything and they have, but it still isn't updated online for some reason... maybe this is normal?

Hi!
My husband is Iranian but born and raised in Qatar. Hasn't been to Iran in over 10 years.
Just curious if Iranians born and living outside of Iran are still having to go through AP?
Seems like all the ones that I have heard about in AP are living in Iran.
I am planning to move back to the states (from Qatar) in the next few months but don't want my hubby to get stuck in AP and to be separated for even longer. We are currently in the NVC stage-- they informed us to give them 11 weeks to process (should be finished by beginning of August) and then 1-2 months out for the embassy interview.
Good luck to everyone... it's so difficult to have to go through all of these uncertainties and waiting for our cases...
-
Does anyone know if it would make a difference if the Iranian never lived in Iran?
My husband is Irani but born and lived his whole life in Qatar. We are going through the NVC stage now and his interview will be at the US Embassy in Qatar. I'm hoping we won't get stuck in AP.
He's also visited the US on visitor visas multiple times. Does this make a difference?
Good luck to all... I know it's so very difficult to be stuck waiting with no knowledge of when things will be approved.

Based upon what I read, it won't make too much of a difference. Fiancé visas are typically faster but the administrative processing time is the exact same as in a spousal visa. With an average AP waiting time of 7 - 8 months for Iranians. Here is a link that you may find helpful:
After the I-130 is approved, do you know an average time for the NVC stage?
We are just trying to make plans but it's hard with so much uncertainty as to when things will get approved and when/if there will be any immigration law changes that will affect Iranians.

My husband is keeping his citizenship and after being married/living together for 3 years (even if it's abroad) I qualify for citizenship. But I'll need to know how to speak dutch....which I work on everyday!
There's a Tunishian girl at my work (in Qatar) who married a guy from the Netherlands and all day at work she's practicing her Dutch as she wants to move there.
I feel bad that she's having to be separated from her husband because he's working there and she hasn't obtained the citizenship yet.
