Hi all,

I had the CR1 interview today and was told that they still had to wait for security clearance..i gave them my police conduct/certificate and it says that i am a person of good conduct. Anyone knows what might be happening? They still kept my passport and was told that the papers all seem to be correct.  

How long does it take to receive passport back after visa approval? We will have our interview in Naples, thus we need to catch a flight there and back...we were thinking of booking a flight back to our country that day after the interview. Would this be enough time to receive the passport with visa?

Hi,

We have finally received a case complete after waiting 11 weeks/close to 12. However, we received correspondence that we need to prove domicile. My husband is the US citizen. He was born in the US and came to Malta as a baby. He then left again to the US and lived for 3 years and came back to Malta about 4 years ago. 

Would the below be enough to prove domicile?

* filing of taxes

* driver's license (he renewed it when he was living in Malta as it expired when he was no longer in the US)

* the bank account that he still has in the US

He has not been applying for jobs formally, as he has friends in the US who are looking for a job for him as they have contacts there..I don't know what else we can use as proof of domicile. Do you have any other ideas? We will be looking for apartments when we move there if everything goes well during the interview. We will be living with his uncle until then. So we cannot show lease agreements etc as proof.

My husband and I are now on the 9th week and we still have not received any information from NVC after submitting all the documents!! We have called last week and were told that we are now to hear at any moment. Any idea how long the 'any moment' time period is?

Am I correct to assume that if we do receive a case complete (cross fingers), we would still have to wait additional time to be informed when the interview date is?

This time waiting is driving me crazy! I can't make any plans for the near future and don't even know where I'm gonna be in two months' time. 

We are finally going to send our documents for NVC to review however we are stuck on the police conduct. We don't know whether my husband, a US citizen, who is also my sponsor, should produce a police certificate as well. He is a US citizen however he has been residing in Malta for the past 5 years. Should we send a one from Malta as well, given that he's the sponsor?

thank you all for your comments. i guess i'll need to get through the whole process of getting another original birth certificate

One of the requirement for the interview is to produce original or certified copies of birth certificates, etc. Would these be returned?

Thank you for your fast reply!

So on the actual form, as there is no space to write both tax returns, do you suggest to write the US one and then send the Maltese ones as documents?

Hi,

My husband and I have arrived to filling the AOS. My husband is a US Citizen however is living in Malta at the moment, thus is living his income from here. He has however filed tax returns to the US the last 3 years.

As his annual income is in Euros and not in $, we are planning to input his annual income in $ through a conversion. As conversions change with time, should we input the conversion to date?

Should we input Malta's filed taxes, US' filed taxes or both?

In the sponsor's household, should we mark no.3 even if I am the sponsored immigrant?
