I petitioned my Mom to come to the US to live with me and her case is currently awaiting for completion and interview date. My questions are what are the documents needed to bring to an interview for parents at the US Embassy in Manila? Also what are the possible questions they may ask during the interview? I am little worried because my mom doesn’t speak much Engish. Any insights are much appreciated. Thanks!!

Hey, congrats! Did you submit tax returns or tax return transcripts?

I submitted income tax return and they accepted it. All documents accepted or qualified on my case as well. I heard that it will take 7-10days for the interview date

NVC rejected my mom's police clearance certificate, they said its an invalid documents. We already sent 3 police clearance certificate and still either an invalid or wrong issuing authority. She obtain her police clearance certificate at the local municipality where she resides since she was born Sta. Barbara Pangasinan. Can you help me where she can get a valid and right required documents that NVC needed? Thank you in advance...

You need to submit her NBI clearance

You have 1 year to response or continue with the process after you paid NVC

im on process of sending civil documents now my questions are they need all horizontal to be send??

Yes it has to be scan horizontally where Words are in up right position to be read. I had to resubmit one of my documents which i’ve overlooked during scanning because it wasnt in the correct position

Hi, I submitted everything on January 7th. So far, no news of interview date as of yet. I'm hoping to hear from them soon though. Anyone have an idea on how long the expected wait time is until NVC reviews everything?

It will takes 2-3weeks for NVC to review documents. They will send you confirmation letter with instructions for the next step once they accepted everthing considering if no corrections or missing documents. Good luck!

Just to update the group.

 

My PD was 5/22. Website shows no updates at all since case was received, but the lady on the line informed me the I130 was approved yesterday and the notice out in the mail. Said it takes 2 - 3 days for the website to be updated.

 

I have a question for the group re the 864 EZ. I am prepping it ready to go. I am married, but sponsoring with my income only so am sending 3 yrs worth of my W2's and 3 years of tax transcripts. Does it matter that the tax transcripts will show married filing jointly, or do I need to make my spouse a co sponsor?

 

I used I-864 as a the sponsor and I-864A for my husband as a household member. We file joint in Tax return

5 months for you?im actually getting worried ..sis you ever call uscis before ?

Never had to call USCIS. I didn’t expect to get an approval that quick. Although I had to email NVC to inquire about my case number which took 2 months before i received it. You should be receiving your NO2 here anytime

Hi All,

 

I applied for my parents who live in India. I-130 is approved and I submitted AOS(I-864) to NVC online. All the information is correct, but I made one simple mistake in I-864 in part 2.a mailing address of Principal Immigrant. I think Principal Immigrant mailing address should be an address of India but I mentioned my USA address in that box since my parents will live here with me. 

 

Is this a big mistake ? NVC will reject my AOS (I-864) ? How can I correct it after it is submitted by me ? or Is it is Ok since mailing address is used for sending documents only ?

I am pretty sure they will notify you for any needed corrections. Good luck

Thank you for taking the time to read and answer my questions.

I won't be able to get my dad's death certificate any soon, do you think it might get my application delayed if I didn't include it? I think it is required at the time of visa application DS-260 if I remember correctly.

My Priority date May 1, 2018. Currently awaiting for case number from NVC. I only submitted copy of my birth certificate and copy of Naturalization certificate with form I-130. Other documents needed during NVC stage.

You know the timeline you posted is 7 years ago right?

things have changed significantly and now we are looking more of around 1 year or a little longer for the whole things (again, it also depends on many other factors).

good luck with everything!

I know it’s old timeline LoL the long wait just sux 😄

Hopeful for 5-9months just like this timeline i found dated August2010 - May2017 😊 or maybe sooner 😃

5-9months fori 130

My  i 130 was recieve May 1 and check drafted from my bank May 2 . I just recieved form i797 from the mail with my priority date May 1,2018. I am guessing just waiting game right now. It’s hard to be patient 😁. Good luck to us all

I came in the US by myself 14 yrs ago with fiance visa from the Philippines.  I did not get interrogated at my port of entry (Detroit) either LoL it was a very smooth process. Congratulations on your engagement. I hope your fiancé will have an easy adjustments in the US.

After you receive the Receipt Notice of Action (I-797) also called NOA1 on this forum, you just wait for 6-7 months from the Priority Date printed on the notice for you to get the Approval Notice of Action called NOA2 on the forum (assuming your petition is for parents or children under 21 of US citizen). You may even get a Request for Evidence (RFE) in case USCIS needs more info in about the same timeframe. 

Thank you! 😊 can hardly wait.  i hope mom will be here by Christmas 🤞
