THANKS FOR YOUR ADVICE!!!

Paul,

Since the approved I-130 petition is at the consulate, the petitioner should write to the consulate to tell them that she wishes to withdraw the petition.

How did the approved petition get to the consulate without your sister submitting an I-864 and the associated fee to the NVC?

Hello all!

My sister has a delicate situation, she is a US citizen and filed for K-3 visa along with I-130 almost 3 years ago for her husband in Bolivia, his K-3 was approved and he was able to come to US 2 yrs ago, eventually they were having problems due to the fact that my sister found out he had been cheating on her while he was in Bolivia, he went back and as of today he has been out the country for almost 1 1/2 yr and my sister is planning to divorce him due to all these problems, he called last night to let her know that he received this I-130 appointment package from the local Embassy and said he would like to go to the interview so that he can get his residence...my sister is desperately looking for help on how to stop the process overseas so he CAN'T get his visa, this guy is so ridiculous, he has never provided any financially support my sister... does anybody in here knows what is the procedure to cancel that interview, considering his K-3 expired and they have been appart for more than a year??

Yodrak, i 'm not quite sure but i do remember my sister submitted I-864 along with other documentation before this guy came to US under his K-3 visa, i think she filed both I-130 & K-3 at the same time and i'm guessing his case was under "administrative review" , reason why he just received correspondence from the local embassy.

I have a question on the minimum income requirements for a household family of 5 (including beneficiary), i have an average income of $27,000 on my tax returns for the past 3 yrs, last years was $28,500, and what is required in my case is $29,250 BUT according to the new law they will consider current income , which this year i'm making $35,500 (i got employment letter to prove it ), am i correct? or would it be ok if i send bank statement /letter showing cash on my checking account to make up the difference which is about $700 ?

sorry, i meant to ask $2,200 in account which would be 3 times the difference...also if it's ok to use I-864EZ? i 've been reading using this form is slowing the process at NVC.

Paul, you are fine. In the new I-864, your total current household income will be compared with the poverty line. You will also need to disclose your most recent tax year's income only, but you may share the most recent 3 tax years' income also which is optional. So based on yoour current income, you are fine.

Yes, you can use I-864EZ, if you use your income ONLY.

Thank you Simple_Male & Yodrak , i was not quite sure if was doing the right thing and i am now ready to file this I864 EZ where only my income is being used. God bless this forum!

The link Doug provided contains the NVC timesavers and James Shortcuts. If you read the entire thread you will find many questions answered in regards to them, including IR-5. According to one experience, yes you need to replace CR-1 with IR-5.

There is a hiccup with the site that generates the barcode but this can be overcome by using 'MS Paint' or similar program. Take note of the several last posts in the Timesavers thread.

THANKS ALL, GREAT INFORMATION!!!

i was able to create the barcode but the wording " Powered by IDAutomation.com" appears under this barcode, is this ok? am i doing the right thing? , would it help if I modify size of this barcode?

Thanks.

Hello,

I'm new in here and i am confussed about where to find most update version of the "James shortcuts", also, if petitoning for parent , would i need to change from CR1 to IR5?

Hi, i am also filing for parent and i wanted to ask you if on the AOS bill i should change from CR1 to IR5?

Thanks ,

i need to fill out DS-230 for my Dad, (i'm a USC) he lives in Bolivia but visited US about 15 yrs ago using passport under a different name, he was also able to obtain a fake SS card, after a short period of time left USA (about 13 yrs ago) and never returned again, my question is what do i put on line 25 under visits to US?? , should i put that he visited on certain dates but what about Visa status? i was thinking not to put any entries or N/A , but i don't want to risk his chances to obtain an immigrant visa, just in case they find any type of records under his name. what do i do?
