If the husband makes enough money to cover you and his household, the wife does not need to fill the i864A. Only the husband needs to fill the form i864. You must however submit their 1040, the husband's W2 AND the wife's W2. If you do not include her W2, you will get a checklist. You do not need any document from the wife other than her W2.

Hi TeeA,

We are not required to register with the embassy. The embassy will not send any email either. Just show up on your interview date with your P4 letter and the documents listed in it.

Will try that now. Thanks a lot, Tee A.

BTW, theyre open till 5am Naija time.

If I call at this time, I will probably wait 1hr before they pick. And considering the call is not free... I think there is an app for free calls, I will check it out. I don't remember the name though.

scheduled interview for July 28....2 months and half...i have no words....only anger. 

 

@trininurse will be long....

Congratulations! Happy you got a date. Not fair that it has to be so far away, considering you got your CC very early this month. It seems you are the only one so far with interview date. When did you call? I called this morning but no date at the time. Is there anyone else with interview date?

Did you at any time email them to make an inquiry about something? This is most likely a generic email response. Best bet is to call NVC and find out what is going on.

Hello.

Does the checklist ask you to bring the missing item to the interview?

Thank you for completing the questionnaire and your update!  Congrats on getting a CC in 8 weeks!! keep us posted regarding your interview!!  

Yes! 8 weeks! I am so grateful to God. Thanks so much. I pray we have so many more CCs this week. Thanks for the questionnaire too. It makes it easy to follow everyone's progress at a glance. And I found that it is so easy to complete. Good job.

Thanks, JBMG and Rexxini. JBMG, I have completed the questionnaire but not sure if it is showing yet. Can you please confirm?

I have good news. My case got completed at NVC. I will call in the morning to confirm but CEAC has changed to 'AT NVC' and the affidavit of support column has disappeared. I pray you all get good news soon too.

Hi,

From the passage I copied and pasted above, I think the joint sponsor's wife may not need to file i864a, provided the joint sponsor submits his w2 to show that he alone makes all the income.

I am not an expert. I only googled your question and found the answer I posted above online.

Hello, my name is XXXXX XXXXX U.S attorney, and I'll be happy to assist you today.

If your man sponsoring you pays taxes jointly with his wife, then I'd recommend that he fill out an I-864, and she fill out an I-864a. It will be easier to prove necessary income levels this way.

Because the wife has no income, if you don't want to fill out an I-864a for her, then you won't have to. However, your main sponsor is then under the burden of proving that the individual income he makes is sufficient to support you. He'll have to do this by finding old W-2s, paystubs, and other information that show his individual income, because he can no longer just show his joint return with his wife to prove income levels.

Here's the information from the field manual.

"If a sponsor filed a joint tax return with a spouse, but is qualifying using only his/her own individual income, the sponsor must submit evidence of that individual income. This evidence would include, for example, the sponsor’s own W-2(s), Wage and Tax Statement, and if necessary to reach the income requirement, evidence of other income reported to IRS which can be attributed to him/her, usually on Forms 1099"."

I sincerely XXXXX XXXXX answer addresses your concerns. Please take a moment to accept my service. We experts depend on positive ratings to continue helping out, so thank you in advance for your support. (And bonuses are always appreciated!)

So sorry, Mano. JBMG is right. I just confirmed.

Mano, if the sponsor is also the petitioner, he must have filed his tax returns for the past three years.

My husband's interview is on June 5th.  and recently while reviewing document, I found out that we have made few mistakes in DS-260.  Does any one know what should I do at this moment?  

Mistakes were 1) His student visa got refused couple of year ago, and in DS-260 I put never refused visa before.  2) In Given name section, I only put his first name but not middle name.  (in example it saws first and middle name).

 

Any help will be appreciated!

I think he should volunteer the information at the interview before he gets asked by the consular officer (the consular officer would already have the prior visa refusal on record). He should let him know that it was an honest mistake. 

Yay! I am so happy for you @beppenyc. Congratulations.

I am beginning to feel sorry that I reported on this forum what I was told by the operators. If it makes anyone feel better, my case is not even complete yet!

mine is 02/28 and still nothing.

Hello. Have you got an update yet? I pray you get good news soon.

I just called NVC now to confirm when my case was sent to the review department. No waiting period at all and I spoke with a very nice rep. She informed me that my case is under review and was sent to the review department on May 2. Scan date March 20.

I filled DS 260 on Feb 28 but did not submit documents until March 16. My scan date is March 20.

Hearty congratulations to all our March case completes (if there is a description like that. Lol). I called NVC last night and they confirmed that my case has been moved to the review department. Scan date March 20. Looking forward to good news from all of us.
