Hello,

As of last Friday I received an email stating we are ready to get an interview... which is great news!!!! Below is a copy paste from part of the email.

The National Visa Center (NVC) received all of the fees, forms, and documents that are required prior to attending an immigrant visa interview at a U.S. Embassy/Consulate General overseas.

NVC will work with the U.S. Embassy/Consulate General in SYDNEY, Australia to schedule an interview appointment for you. Once we have confirmed an interview date, we will send a notice to you, your petitioner and attorney (if applicable).

Does anyone have an idea on the timeline for when an interview would likely be? I have looked everywhere I know and nothing really gives direct info. I have seen that interviews are usually on the last Tuesday of the month. Is that true? Is there anyway or anyone to email to try and get an interview sooner?

We where hoping to get everything wrapped up by years end  but not sure as time is running out. My brother is having twins the second week of January and we wanted to be able to get home to Ohio for them!! 

Thanks for your help.... I'm still a rookie at all of this!!

Hello all.

I have petitioned for my wife's Green Card a while back (March 2018) and the petition was approved. I have been following the process via the NVS site and all the documentation has been accepted. Now they are asking for my proof of employment as well as proof of my assets. As I do not have a 'job' a note regarding my income and support will be made upon the interview. My wife has always been the bread winner during my time in Australia and for the past few years my only income was from when we renovated a property and sold it. As I am a builder that has always been a way to make a  "income" without having a job so I could be around to take care of the kids. 

We have a good amount of money in the bank and the rest of the cash is in the house which is currently on the market. Once that sells we will have a few years worth on saving in the bank that if we some how never gained employment stateside we could still live for 4-5 years. 

My question is, is this something to be worried about? This process has seemed to be dragging with the last response from the NVS took 6 1\2 weeks and for the 3rd time they are asking for more documentation while everything on the site has already been accepted. I haven't has a US tax return in over 3 years due to not being employed.

Other then asking for proof of my assets and employment there is nothing else needed..... for now. 

If it matters, my wife's business will still be running after we move to America which will be a source of income for the family while we get set up in the states and while I get back to work.
