As beneficiary, it is not a big deal, if already filed as unemployed, continue file as unemployed

Thanks so much!!

I assume you are petitioner.  Normally as a freelancer, you are still required to report your income and file 1040/EZ with schedule C / C-EZ  if your earning passes a threshold (this threshold is so low that most people need to file the tax 😀). Did you file any tax in 2017, 2016?

 

Hey no iam the beneficiary!! Iam filling the immigrant visa form and stuck in this section 😭😭😭

Iam highly confused about what should i fill in the employment section of the IV form as I am a freelance graphic designer  , should I select the unemployed option because in the I 130 petition i wrote unemployed, so the info should match right? Also tell me will it affect my IV appli if I mention that iam unemployed?

I added some pictures to the packet for USCIS already but I will bring some pictures to the interview as well. I am quite sure we both overthink again. But better to bring too many pictures and documents than missing some 🙂 atleast thats what I tell myself

hahaha so true we are overthinking but we cant help it!! Can you specifically tell me what financial docs and supporting docs did you submit to NVC?  It will be a great help !!

You were at the NVC stage if i remember correctly 🙂 - IR/CR1 or K1? For my CR1 (Germany) I did not hand in any additional proofs - just the docs they asked for. To my understanding USCIS checks first if your marriage is legal (here you need those proofs) and NVC checks afterwards if you are save concerning finances mostly. So I do not see why they would need additional relationship proofs. But maybe other members here have other experiences and opinions?

Yes you remembered correctly

Mine is CR1 aswell! So I guess we just have to provide the photo proofs in the interview, for now they just need the financial and supporting docs. 

While submitting civil and financial documents should I also attach some couple photos or additional proofs to make the case stronger? If yes, then suggest me what additional stuff to submit please!!!

Good luck and try to stay patient and sane😅. Waiting for the interview letter here and going crazy over every new email and letter myself. Surely can understand you are nervous but you are almost there 👍. 

staying sane is quite a challenge during the visa process 🤣 !! I have logged into my ceac account for like 10 15 times today to check the status!! 😂 ALL THE VERY BEST for your interview!! Hope you get that letter and your visa soon!!

You can always call nvc if you feel insecure about smth. They were quite helpful and friendly to us. I would possibly call after that. Not because it's reason to worry but to ease your mind. The whole process can be nerve wrecking

Oh it surely is!! Really hoping I get that fee status updated to PAID within the next two days , fingers crossed!!

Depend on what payment method you use (allowed to use) but the time is normally within 1 week.

 

will it be normal if it takes more than a week? Or should I call NVC after that?

Yep definitely can take up to a week depending on the payment option and the banks involved.

How long does NVC take to process your online payments? I paid my AOS and IV fee online but the status hasnt changed from IN PROCESS  to PAID yet since 5 days
