Yes

Thank you!

My elderly mother who I'm petitioning resides in the Philippines and is not computer nor internet savvy.  Can I, the Sponsor, fill up the Online Immigrant Visa Application for her and indicate my name as the Preparer?

I appreciate your responses.

Current income always trumps historical 

Thank you!  I feel so much better.

If you have current check stubs, employer’s statement then you don’t need joint sponsor. Current income is what matters.

Thank you very much.  I appreciate your responding.

I am getting ready to submit my Affidavit of Support for my mother. I am concerned that my 2019 Tax return happens to be a bit short of the cut off for the income because of some unfavorable circumstances with my self-employment last year. My current employment this year though will show that I will have much more than the minimum income requirement to show that I will be able to support my mother's immigration. Will it be a problem if my 2019 Income tax is below the cut off even if i send my current pay stubs showing sufficient current income? Please advice.

Same here, 10 months of waiting and last march 2nd I checked my status online and it says its transfered to another office for processing but still didn't receive that notice yet, so until now I have no idea what office they transferred it to. So yesterday march 19th, I checked again online and it says "my case, requesting for evidence is sent" now that's making me nervous. I have to wait for that letter too. Hopefully everything is going to be ok. I'll update again when i receive the RFE notice. 

I appreciate you sharing your case status.  Looks like our cases might be in a bit similar situation.  I haven't received the notice of transfer either and until then, I'm just speculating which service center it's been transferred to and hoping that the transfer will help speed up the process from now on.  

I wish you well in your case.  I hope and pray that things will work in our favor and we can bring our family here and be reunited.

Same thing happened to me. Once it got transferred, it was worked. Received RFE, responded, got approved. It's now with NVC

Thank you.  That's great!  I'm glad your case got approved!  How long after the transfer did you get the approval?

Thank you, Marlin.  I appreciate you sharing your experience.  You have helped me stay positive about this whole process.  I am hoping that my petition for my mother be approved soon as what happened to your case.

I doubt you'll get any explanation.  Service Centers routinely transfer cases to balance workload.  In late 2016, our I-130 was transferred from Nebraska to Texas.  It had no negative effect on the timeline at all......good luck.

Thank you very much!

I've been anxiously waiting and expecting a result after about 11 months from filing date and I got a notifications instead that my case was transferred to another Service Center.  I'm worried and wondering if my case has to start over and have to wait another year to get an update or result.

My case was initially assigned to Nebraska Service Center.  I'm awaiting letter in the mail to get details as to the reason for transfer and to which Service Center my case was transferred to.

Has anyone had similar experience regarding their case?  What to expect next, and how does that impact processing time?  Please share your experience.  I'll greatly appreciate.

Thank you very much!  I hope things work in our favor.

Is ther anyone here whose petition is assigned in Nebraska Service Center?

I should have joined this group a while back.  I'm patiently awaiting result, which should be by next month.
