But I can't track my case I have the 13 digits case # 

The system don't give any status for my case

OK   Your NVC number should start with three letters for Islamabad so I don't know that code, but does your number start with 3 letters?

2nd, there should be 10 digit number after the 3 letters.  That totals 13.  Do you have 10 digits after your code?

what is difference between Invoice # and NVC #

Some visa applicants at the NVC have fees to be paid so an Invoice # is generated that links the payment to your case.  Not applicable to K1 visas but the system at NVC gives an invoice number automatically with each case.

The NVC # is embassy specific 3 letters and 10 numbers that the state department uses to process your case and allow you to track the progress from NVC to in transit to ready to interview to processing to issued.

i read that

i had read that if you have not filed taxes then you should write why. so that is why i decided bringing a doctors letter that states my injury and the letter from my counselor that's working with me on finding a job was the best way to go. so using a job letter and giving to much info on that is not a good idea, got it! but showing savings is what they want to see, so is having my mom write a letter that shes giving me an early wedding gift of 6thousand help, along with a copy of the cashiers check? or it really wont matter

Document that you do not file taxes on your SSI income.  A letter from the counselor on your employment prognosis and a doctors letter would suffice.

The cashier check with your money in your mom's name as a 'wedding gift' to you equates to money laundering.  This is fraud.  Besides the fact, it is not enough to show support for your F.  I'm not sure of the amount they are looking for, but we are talking in the hundreds of thousands of $ is the threshold.  The I-134's will show what the CO is looking for so keep it as clean as possible.

I have heard from Monica, she was approved, but we have a 221g for a couple of police clearance.  She is working on getting them now.

Congrats!   I'm surprised you didn't have these already.  Was there a snafu that held them up from coming?

well the fraud wouldn't come from the embassy side. when u get SSI your suppose to report your income, ive been working under the table so I can have money to support my fiancé and myself. ive been saving every penny! I just cant put it in the bank because when u receive ssi they wont allow u to have more than 2thousand in a U.S bank or they will stop your benefits. I wrote a letter to the embassy explain why I had to save money orders and how ive managed to save and document my income. but my mom says I shouldn't do that because not reporting my income to the Social security administration is fraud and the embassy might know that. so the letter is on hold. I deffiently want the embassy to know I have money though and I can support my fiancé. I just don't know if I should get my boss to do the employment letter I do secretary work. he said all I have to tell them is that at the end of the year ill do a 1044. i just want to go with the best route on this

The embassy has a list of required docs they want you to send them, or bring to the interview.  I recommend you don't send anything that is not specifically on that list.   Do the I-134 from you and your co-sponsor using the 1040 filings as a guideline of what to put on it.

A letter that you 'plan to do this or that' is inconsequential to helping your case but most likely will be detrimental to yourself personally.  Early 2003 legislation makes intergovernmental cross reporting possible and in some cases, required.  If you have income that you haven't reported to SS, that is most likely fraud for one.  Second, it's likely an IRS violation as quarterly taxes and SS and Medicare and other taxes most likely aren't being filed either.

Perhaps legal counsel could help your situation.

iam up filling in my i134 I'm nervously doing this because I haven't worked at all since 2014 I had an accident leaving me with a spinal cord injury, Ive been in a wheelchair since. my son lives with me I have custody but his father claims him on his taxes. so does that make him my dependent I feel like I  should not check off that hes my dependent? thankfully I found a cosponsor! but I'm still nervous about using one because it doesn't look good I just keep telling myself iam a woman so technically I'm not suppose to provide on my own. and given my situation I definitely should qualify to use one. its good reason. I'm attaching a doctors letter that states my injury and when my accident happened and also that I haven't worked full time since because of the accident. I also receive SSI which makes me even more nervous because its need based, I'm working with a program that helps disables find work and my counselor is writing me a letter that states when I stated working with the program and that my plan is to come off ssi and I'm working toward my career goal. I figured that will surely look good! I have money saved though but with SSI your not allowed to have more than 2thousand in the bank account. I wanted to show proof with money orders but if I'm working under the table and not reporting my income the embassy might look at me like I'm scamming, although I can get an employment letter and write a letter that explains in order to come off ssi I need to save first and ill 1099 at the end of the year but still my mom says not reporting income to SSA is fraud and the embassy might know that and I can get myself into trouble!  my mom mentioned that If i cash in my money orders (which is the documented proof of saving the last 8months) and she put it into a cashiers check from her to me and write a letter saying shes giving me the money as an early wedding gift. to use 6thousand (what I have saved) as whatever is needed for the wedding or to help support my fiancé. should I just do that instead and then make a copy of the check and bring the letter from my mom? will it even matter? or does it look bad that my annual is 8,828 and I only have 2thousand in the U.S bank? will this cashiers check from my mom and her letter showing I have money saved actually work? do I say my son is my dependent? I'm stressing!!!

You should read the VJ terms of service      No one here is allowed to condone fraud.  With that said, be honest with the government but don't give them too much information.  Only answer the questions that are asked.

If your son is on your 1040, claim him on the I-134.  If he isn't, then don't muddy the water.

Use a co-sponsor - no matter how you frame your situation, you do not qualify without a co-sponsor.

You do not have enough savings to qualify without a co-sponsor.  So list your income, not your savings, get an I-134 from your sponsor with their earnings and follow the embassy's list of documents to submit with the interview.

Good luck to you, may your goals be attained

Yeah UID number. I scheduled usng the website for travelstate. Then they sent an email with a bardcode a number below with UId labeled in it. Thats what I used. How did you scheduled your interview 

Finally, it is on the 2GO website but it doesn't say when it will be delivered.  Looks like it was first scanned in today since the UID number didn't work until just now.  Probably still in Manila  

No one likes unpleasant subjects and this one hopefully will not be needed by any of us.  It's best to be prepared for any circumstance.....  I'm really thankful no-one has needed something like this in the April filers, but there was one March filer that caught a denial -  I'm not sure what happened other than a difficult embassy and his subsequent decision to take his case to a lawyer.  I've heard some people in various threads talk about appealing a denial at the embassy.  No one really had a concrete plan and was guessing.  I decided to look into what was available.  In my reading as I was trying to prepare for worst case scenario, I formed a game plan for this type of an occurrence.  From what I have read; Unfortunately, it is not an option to appeal at the embassy level. The denial process is like this..... If the embassy CO decides to deny, normally they tell you with a vague answer why.  The specific reason needs to be known so the issue can be resolved.  Ask for clarification.  In the coming days, the embassy will send you a letter stating your case has been denied and returned to USCIS.  Once your case is returned from the embassy to USCIS, then you may appeal. USCIS will then (eventually) notify you with a Notice to Revoke, or a Notice of Denial and written instructions for filing an appeal.  You have 30 days to file a form I-290B, Notice of Appeal or Motion. There is a non-refundable $630 fee. Whether or not your denial is overturned, this fee will not be returned. Appeals take around a year, and if successful, are returned to the same embassy for another interview.  Some people take the cheaper (and somewhat faster) route and just start off on another I-129F petition.  A denial suggests that something is wrong with your application and you will need to learn what is wrong with it and fix whatever is the problem.  The details of the denial in the 2nd petition will be available to the CO during the 2nd interview.

So, if an embassy denial occurs, the best thing is to try to salvage it before the embassy sends the case back to USCIS.  Since K1 Fiance Visas that are denied by the US Embassy or Consulate have no formal recourse (a right to appeal), You may however try to contact the Embassy and ask for a review by the Embassy’s Consulate General or a Supervisory Officer.  Do this before leaving the Embassy.  This has to be done quickly because once the case is sent back to USCIS for revocation, the Embassy no longer has jurisdiction over the case and therefore cannot change its decision.   If you cannot get the Embassy's Consulate General or a Supervisory Officer to review your case, get on the phone immediately to your U.S. Congressman or U.S. Senator and get them to place a call to the embassy on your behalf.  If you are able to obtain a review by the Consulate General or a Supervisory Officer and its still denied, there is nothing more than you can do. Your only recourse is to let it go to USCIS and wait for a letter from them so you may appeal.  The 2nd option is to apply with another I-129F again, or 3rd option is to get married and apply for a Marriage Visa instead.

Thanks a lot for all of that. Extremely informative stuff.. so, the DS-160 has to be filled out and submitted by the beneficiary.. thank god I asked... the para legal that’s been helping me with all this stuff was actually going to do it online for us. So definitely has to be filled and submitted by beneficiary? I’ll be damned! You might have saved me there lol...

 

secondly.. the Tax transcript.. I can literally go onto irs.gov and request my transcript from last year.. and a copy of my return which I can get from my accountant? Also, do I have to provide a snap of my bank account? This year there has been a ton of spending on plenty of preparations.. I make well above 125% of the FPL but my bank account is poor right now lol.. sorry for getting personal.. anyways, does what I have in the bank account matter?

Well, the submittal of the DS-160 has an electronic signature function.  A para-legal???? Out of my league, Maybe that is fine.  I only know what I have heard, but if your legal rep does it, well maybe that's a different story.  Check with them.....

Yep, just go here for Tax transcript https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript  and DON'T send a 1040 because the transcript is the same info, just more preferred.  The reason they like a transcript is it shows that the tax document was filed with the IRS (instead of the petitioner just filling up a 1040).  As to your accounts, you could have a boatload of cash in your mattress and .20 cents in the accounts.  They don't care about your balances.  If your earnings don't comply with the 125% THEN you can show NET WORTH (bank balances, CD's, etc.) to be qualified.  So since your earnings are good, I wouldn't send bank statements unless the embassy has it on their list of things to be sent.

Hello everyone. Wishing everyone well and a great and successful end to this long journey we have all been on. 

 

So on friday day I called NVC and got my case number and Invoice ID number.. they said my file should be at the consulate embassy next week.. I am filling out the DS-160.. and also the I-134.. does anyone have experience with the FINANCIAL AFFADAVIT. is it pretty easy for the most part. I have a full time job at a company, however I am a self contractor so I am 1099 basically.. they give me a salary every two weeks paid straight to my llc and I do my own taxes. Are my last years twx returns.. 6 pay stubs.. and a signed letter from my boss on?

 

Also.. what kind of evidence to back my relationship with my fiancé should we provide? What kind of evidence did everyone on here provide? Any information what so ever I will beyond greatly appreciate all

 

Congrats guys. U two look great together. Wishing u a life time of happiness

Be sure the Beneficiary is the one who actually clicks the SUBMIT button on the DS-160  Your IP address is captured and they definitely want the DS-160 to be from the beneficiary.

I-134 was straight forward.  If you make enough salary (125% of poverty) then don't worry about all the assett stuff.  I was really loose with my I-134, just a snapshot of my bank accounts on a given day and I didn't include any portfolio info (stocks, bonds, IRA's, CD's, etc)  Include your 1099's and tax statements.  They supposedly prefer Tax Transcripts over copied tax 1040's, which you can get from the IRS website really easily with a copy of last years return in hand to answer some obscure question to prove it is you.  Include your pay stubs and the employer letter and you are good.

Continuing Relationship evidence.......just include a random sample of communication over the last 5 months.  One a week is good.  Select something to share with them that isn't too personal, maybe something with talk of wedding, etc. 

@fordguy61mi Congratulations!!!!   Finish Line

i agree.....debating to fly to Jakarta to meet fiance, then fly right back with her to accompany her POE. It took me two weeks last time for my body to catch up.

Hard decision to make.  We talked about this, as well.  She elected to have me there at the interview rather than accompany on POE.  I wanted to do POE but she was adamant about me going to interview with her.  Although most F's do both interview and POE alone, it really helps if they can be done together.

When i fly to manila it is 16000 miles round trip for me so 10k is nothing..lol

One way, 10k

Just HKG to JFK is over 8k miles. Besides, it's not the miles that counts, it's the hours.... 30 hrs sucks

I drug my carcass into the house last night.....  30 hours of flying 10,000 miles.  Came back across 13 time zones and crossed the international date line, and had more hours of darkness on the flights than daylight...... I was so confused by the time I cleared customs at JFK, I really did ask another passenger that I could tell by her accent she was from NY "what day of the week is it today?"  I remember when I used to like flying..... I left Manila Wednesday, at that time, our Visa is listed as 'ISSUED'.  Still no ability to track it on 2GO.  Reportedly, it can be tracked by 4 ways........ MNL#, or UID#, or WAC#, or Passport#.

Nothing showing up yet.  We use the site https://supplychain.2go.com.ph/CustomerSupport/etrace/index.asp to track it.

Anyways, good to be back in the USA  and leaving soon for the keys.....  But I'm just keeping busy waiting for POE on 27th.  I see @amishbaby has a great looking family now!  Congrats!!!!  Also I see @AJay00md approval!  Congratulations!!!!   Our March Whiners are making good progress.  Still a few are lagging behind, hopefully this is their time!
