Hi everyone. I am living abroad with my husband. I did his petition for a ir1 visa in the states while visiting. So I sent my original paperwork to uscis. Anyways my husband had his interview two days ago. He left with a piece of paper that said my domicile needed to be proven. 

 

When I had sent my oringal paperwork I only included a copy of my passport. The officer said that I should have sent the petition from the country I’m living in currently. Any experience with this? He said get domicile proof and send via courier to embassy. He then told my husband that they will continue from where they left off. So another interview? What should I send? Will those papers go back to the Nvc? Should I expect a long process? Thanks everyone. 

Search around the site for "how to prove domicile while abroad" - there are a lot of threads on it, particularly in the Canada section.

Also - check out the domicile section in the Wiki for a good list of documents you can use: http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NVC_Process

Congratulation to you and your husband.  Wishing him a safe trip to the US.

Thank you! We are lucky in that we are together here, so that has made the process easier, but now we need to move everything and start over, so the next challenge begins! Exciting, but a bit nerve-racking as well!

Bring all required documents listed on your  pre-interview checklist of your P4 letter.

 

Primary evidence in your case will be your Israeli proof of domicile(lots of face time)which you have already established by cohabitation for years now.

 

Other supporting documents like Birth cert of any child born into the marriage will be of advantage to you guys. 

 

Best wishes.

 

 

 

Great, thank you! I was a little confused because the checklist is a little vague - for instance it says to bring the I-864, but doesn't say if I should bring the supporting evidence for it (tax transcripts, etc.). I'll probably just include it all to be on the safe side!

You have  to take all original copy of everything u submitted to nvc to ur interview.

 

Pictures are not enough proof, u have to take proof of joint bank account, plane tickets from vacations, receipt and proof of any other things that both of ur names are in. Good luck.

Thanks a lot! Looks like he'll be carrying a lot of paperwork

So I'm starting to get everything together for our interview, and I had a couple questions:

Do we need to bring copies of everything we submitted to the NVC (e.g. tax transcripts, letter about domicile, etc.) or just the things on the Embassy's checklist?

Regarding proof of relationship, we've lived together here in Israel for years, so what kind of evidence do I need in that case - are pictures enough, or should we also bring proof of joint bank account, plane tickets from vacations, etc.? 

Thanks!

I am also sending the same documents lie you did. I also sent the W2 as well. That means we have to file the tax before the interview? Actually I am waiting for my wife to come to the US and get a SSN so that I can file as a "married".

It seemed that they wanted me to file before the interview. It wasn’t an issue because I had filed by that point anyways. I file as married filing separately.

that’s good i have cc on Friday how many days to get date of interview? 

It took us only about a week to get one scheduled, but I think it’s kind of luck of the draw of what time of the month you got your CC vs. what time of the month they’re scheduling interviews. Keep in mind they will be closed some in September for the holidays as well, but they’re actually closed less than most companies, so hopefully it won’t affect the scheduling much. Good luck!

@catdk did you get interview date?

Yes, we're at the end of August! Getting closer now :)

Hello,

I did not file my tax for last year but I did file for an extension. I intend to send the extension confirmation for 2017 as well as tax transcripts for 2015 and 2016. Will it cause any problem? Any body has experience sending the extension confirmation?

Delayed response, but I also filed an extension for 2017 (we do have a co-sponsor), and I just provided the extension approval + the transcripts for the two previous years. It was fine, but they asked that we bring the 2017 return + W2 to the interview, so be prepared for that possibility. There are some threads on this topic if you search for them.

2 days from your scan date?

No - 2 from confirming CC over the phone. It was 11 days from scan date.

That definitely means a cc. Still call them and confirm. 

I did call them, and I got the CC email as well. For some reason, it’s said “Case at NVC” all along for me, even before I got a CC. I hope we’ll have an interview date soon!

Whats your status now in ceac? 

It still just says “Case at NVC” like it has all along. I’m not sure it’s ever going to change! The AOS line did disappear on the other CEAC page though.

Congratulations! You will get interview email soon. CC email is the one we get on CEAC website?

Hmm I’m not sure - I don’t see this letter on CEAC for me. But I’m non-pivot, maybe that’s why?

Got our CC email today - it took 2 days to get it. Now I just really want that interview email!!

As far as I know, all interviews are done in Jerusalem.

July 2nd was my scan date! Hope you get your CC very soon!

Whole line disappeared. 

You check your status on 

https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx

??

Yeah - mine's said "Case at NVC" since the beginning. It seems to be a thing with JRS Embassy cases.

My line is still there, so I'm thinking no CC, unless maybe that doesn't work the same way for JRS cases either.

13 minutes ago, lousiaC said:

You can login on ceac site(one where u filled ds 260) and check if your aos fee is showing or not. Mine disappeared. 

I've read this before but I'm confused by it - does the whole line disappear? 

Any chance you could show what it looks like somehow?

i also called at 7:30 am EST on 11th july but there was no update. so i would suggest call again when they start today

Do you just call and ask for your case status? I'm so scared to annoy them

Heyy guyss.. i woke up with online staus ‘at nvc’ and called to confirm case complete... yeyyy 😊 best of luck to all my friends waiting...

I'm so excited for you! Let us know how long it takes to get the email!

I wish my stupid CEAC case status checker would work. I called yesterday and no CC and now I want to call again

I just called to try and confirm my scan date and the woman on the phone just kept saying, " We received your documents on July 3rd, I can see in our system that your documents are in line to be reviewed" I kept asking if they were scanned in and she just repeated the same thing. I'm going to assume that July 3rd, the day they say they received them is my scan date.

That sounds right to me!
