Thank you! It was a long road and we are so excited for the new chapter in our lives 🎉🎉🎉

Hi everyone, 

we we have just been approved for our visa and are planning to move to the states next week. I just wanted to double check that the only required documents to get into the states are the passport, visa and doctors exam. The closed envelope is now digital so it is available at the immigration checkpoint. Is there anything I'm forgetting?

And so what is your question?

Do I need to translate everything from Turkish to English? On the NVC website it says either Turkish or English will do. 

Hi everyone,

I have submitted everything onto the CEAC website and everything has been approved and I have even been scheduled an interview appointment, however today I recieved an email. I think that it is just a reminder but it says to upload the following documents in English and Turkish. Do I need to get my marriage licence birth certificate and national ID translated into English? I never did and everything was approved?  This is part of the email that is confusing.

Hi everyone,

So on Monday we were informed that our NVC processing has been approved and that they will be getting in contact with the US Embassy in Ankara Turkey to set up an interview date, so we are very excited! I was wondering if anyone has any tips for the interview? What should we take? What kind of questions do they ask? Just a general idea of what to expect. Am I allowed/supposed to go to the interview with my husband? Thanks in advance!

Poverty line is not the threshold.  The threshold is the amount of personal exemption plus standard deduction

I ended up now paying anything from 2012-2016 my accountant said not waste money on filing 2017, but should I?

I haven't filed my 2017 taxes because my accountant told me since I work and live in Turkey and make less than the poverty line I wouldn't need to file for 2017. I now to to submit a document for why I didn't file my 2017 taxes. What should I include in that file? Do I need to file my 2017 tax return?

Thank you! I have been stressing for hours!

Hello everyone,

So My husband and I have submitted our documents to NVC usning CEAC and we were just informed that his birth certificate was not accepted. We don't have his original birth certificate but we got certified form proving his birth from city hall. CEAC has rejected that and I don't know what else I could upload. Does anyone have any ideas for us? I tried searching the NVC site but saw nothing on this topic.

Thank you that really helps. I have another question, under my husbands name it asks for civil documents and one is photographs. Is this photos of our relationship or biometric photos of him?

We have finally reached the NVC stage of the process! YAY!  We have submitted most of our documents but I am confused about the photographs section under my husband (immigrants) section. I dont know if it is biometric photos of him  or proof of our relationship. Can anyone help?

We are filling in the civil documents for my husband on the CEAC website and under his name it says photographs. Is that bio-metric photos or photos of our relationship?

I don't know what to upload for this part.

I am trying to upload my files onto the CEAC page but my I-864 is 10 seperate documents and I am only able to download 1. Every page is under a different file name. Is there a way to select all 10 files to upload? What am I doing wrong?

I assume you are the USC and your parents live and work in the USA?

Yes that is correct.

We just got our case number from NVC and need to pay our fees. Since my husband and I both live and work in Turkey, the money we make after converted to Dollars is very low, so my parents are going to support us. I am very confused, do I need to pay an affidavit of support fee for them as well and if so how do I add them to my NVC log in to do this. I cant do anything until I pay my fees but I don't want to do anything wrong. 

So I am a June 2016 I130 filer and we just got our case number from NVC! YAY! Now we have to start the second leg of the process. I have to pay the fees and send my affidavit of support and financial evidence. I live in Turkey with my husband and we really don't make much once it is converted to USD so I was hoping to list my parents as financal support. What should I do? Do I send there information along with mine? We have to file everything electronically is there a step that I am missing?

Congratulations! 

Did you receive the approval notice at a foreign address in Turkey? 

 

Good luck with the next steps!  

Thank you! We used my US address.

We just recieved our NOA 2! YAY! What do I need to do next? Is the process almost over????

Hi everyone,

My i130 was recieved on June 2nd and was sent to  the Nebraska processing center, which I hear takes the longest to process, but I keep checking the dates so I hope there is only a month or two left to process. I was wondering what I should be doing in the mean time? I keep hearing that I need evidence of my marriage, what is considered evidence? I want to make sure I send everything so that it is not delayed any longer. Thanks for all your help!

My spouse and I sent in our I130 in June and it was accepted. We recieved our NOA1 and are currently waiting for it to be processed. During this time my husband's workplace moved and changed it's name. Do I have to do anything about this? Do I have to inform anyone, or could this be terms for rejection because of the changes? 

Yes sorry I see the problem I didn'1 get approved yet we just submitted our I-130 and it was sent to the Nebraska Center for processing. So all I do is wait now?

Thank you so much! It's a lot of help!

Hello everyone,

I have just recieved an email that my I-130 has been accepted and transferred to the Nebraska division. My paperwork will be mailed to my US address but I am currently in Turkey with my husband. What is the next step I have to take? Is there anything I can prepare now so that I can mail out/apply for the next step right away when I arrive in the states in 2 weeks? Thanks for all the help!

Thanks for all of the replies but I'm still confused I still live in Turkey so would it make a difference? Should I use my US address or Turkish?

I am currently filling out my I-130 for my husband but I have 2 questions. First I got married in Turkey and took his last name, but in the states I am still under my maiden name. Which last name should I file under? I was leaning towards my maiden name but would it matter if we both have different last names? Also I have been living in Turkey for the last 5 years but I am also listed as living with my famiy back in the states. Which address should I use? Please help!!!!
