Hello, I'm wondering if there are any statistics or estimated time it takes to get a green card by marriage if our case was filed in Tennessee? I saw on visajourney that the wait varies by the state you're in, but I can't find that same webpage again.

Thank you in advance!

Could you please tell me if you had your appointment already scheduled with the embassy or did you do it yourself

Also did you pay for the visa online or did he pay for it at his appointment 

Check the case status online. When it says the status of your case is ready, email the embassy saying that you are ready for the interview. They will schedule the appointment for you. Email them every two days. Be sure to include in the email both your names, date of births, and your case number. You will pay for the visa inside the embassy.

Hello everyone!

 

Now that we are getting closer to reciving our NOA2, and subsequently our spouses receiving their VISAS  I was wondering how is it issued? The reason why I ask is the address that i used for my fiancé during the initial application, she no longer lives their anymore. Is the VISA something that will be mailed to her, or can she return to the embassy to pick it up? Thanks in advance for the help!

If she no longer lives there, I would email NVC once it gets to that stage. Or email USCIS if you can. I think it's important to keep them updated on where she currently lives and what your email address is. Most of our important updates came to us via email, Then paper receipts came to us by mail months after...

The visa won't be issued until after her interview at the embassy. It will be placed in her passport, then mailed to a local mail carrier where she can go pick it up. We were asked NOT to return to the embassy. We had to go to the mail carrier to pick up his passport along with a very important packet 4, which he had to show ID for and sign to receive. Of course, I'm just speaking from my experience! Each case is a little different, so it's important to keep them updated on current addresses, just in case. 

So, I guess generally speaking, they may not need her address but I would keep them updated anyway. More than likely she'll be going to a mail carrier office to sign for and get her visa and packet. Good luck!

Hello  new to Visa Journey, new to online forums as well.. NOA1 9/11/2017. At the NVC stage now. There is some hope!

Well, we're "ready", too!  Our NVC case status changed from "in-transit" to "ready" but we have yet to receive official paperwork or email updates. The last letter we got was the I-797 Approval Notice, and we haven't gotten ANY emails since moving to the NVC stage. I'm getting nervous because I will be traveling out of the U.S. and I'm not sure if I should email the NVC and let them know? Thoughts? Thanks in advance. 

ACCEPTED!! 

What worked: a plain page of jobs, positions, and dates for each of us. I sent mine with my original signature and I sent a scanned copy of his page with his signature. I also included signed proof of class registration records for the times when I was a full-time student. And, included co-sponsor form for proof of financial support.

Thank you all for your feedback, it was so helpful!!

Oh, okay. Might just include the W-2s. Here is a screen shot of what they sent me.

Hello

We received a RFE asking us to submit proof of employment (for both of us) for the past 5 years. We've updated our G-325A's with our employment, but now I'm not sure if the updated forms need my fiance's signature. I was thinking about a scanned signature for him and original signatures for me (since I'm sending it back). I was also thinking of including in our cover letter that we already submitted an original G-325A with his signature, and thought a scanned signature would ok given our time constraint. Suggestions??
