    AOS i-864 RFE help. Not very specific.

    in Adjustment of Status (Green Card) from K1 and K3 Family Based Visas

    Posted

    So I received a RFE yesterday regarding my i-864 for AOS. Now the letter does not really state clearly what they need from me and I am not sure if this is a generic response they send out. The letter states "Based on the documents submitted with the form i-864. The income did not meet 125% of the federal poverty guideline for the petitioning sponsors household size". On the next page it also says "You have submitted form i-864 from the petitioning sponsor. We are unable to process the I-864 because it has one or more deficiencies". 

     

     

    My wife earns way over the guideline of which we submitted a letter from her employer stating her salary etc. Now I just thought I don't think we sent any of her tax transcripts for the other two years that we listed on (Part 6, 19a). We supplied tax papers for the most recent year which was 2018. So that might be problem right there. Sorry if this has been discussed somewhere, but I searched through the forum and could not find my specific answer. 

     

    Thank you for any advice or help.

    I received rfe and it was saying  exactly samething, and yeah I also make way more then the poverty guideline,in my packet I  sent every single required documents, and again I replied them with, tax return for most recent year,tax transcript, w2s,and income verification letter,and ofcourse I fill out affidavit forms again and sign it, so it's been almost 50 days I haven't received any response from them, I called uscis yesterday and talked with one of the officer she said I may get a response after 60 days,so let's see,

    I still don’t have my SSN number yet and was interviewed yesterday, it was no issue at all. 

    I was able to open a joint bank account with my husband in Bank of America-it was the only bank that would do it for us where we live. It was a pretty easy process with them, they needed my passport, our marriage licence and proof of address. 

    Do you have health/car insurance you can add her on too? Have you taken any trips together since she’s been here than have both your names on it? We included flight receipts with both our names on it and they were accepted 

    Hello, what were the questions they asked you

    I’ve sent off my I-129F packet with my current address listed in the required address fields. I’m planning on moving very soon and will of course be changing my address. I can get mail to my old address forwarded to my new one, but I’m not sure if this would affect anything with the petition. Has anyone else gone through this? 

    Yeah I recently face delayed with our p3, once my fiance got approved and NVC received our case so I called them and updated my fiance's new address, and asked them more than one time that do I need to inform and update our new address ? I talked with 2 people in the same day just to be on the safe side,but they both said no you should be ok once you update here in NVC you are OK,but still Consulate sent P3 to the old address and P3 returned to Consulate the I had call them email them,so finally they emailed a copy of P3 and we sent it back to them on Monday... my suggestion wait till you get approved once NVC received your case call them and update your new address,

    Greetings one and all,

    I will be attending my citizenship ceremony later this month and I will invite close friends and family.

    Firstly, how many can I bring?

    Secondly, can I invite a professional photographer?

    You don't need to invite a profissional photographer, it is a ceremony take 1 or 2 people with you maybe your parents or a close friend, it's a naturalization ceremony they will hand you your naturalization ceretificate, and that's it 🤓

    Use todays date then explain it in the box and tell them the correct DOB. This happens quite a bit their site is buggy or you can just send a plain email to them with the requested information they ask for. Be sure to use your USCIS receipt number in the subject line of the email.

    Thanks 🙂 and so excited for you,  your process is done with NVC so you are not too far 😊

    MARCH 2019 K-1 NOA2 ----> NVC

    in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports

    Posted

    On 2/28/2019 at 7:41 PM, Greenbaum said:

    This thread was created for those who are waiting from their NOA2 K-1 to the case assignment from NVC.

     

    These are items that everyone asks for, so I thought I just post them here for you to refer to when it's necessary.

     

    1. How do I update my email address with NVC Once you receive your NOA2 approval then contact NVC via https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/ask-nvc.html to update your email address as well as your beneficiary's email address. This will give you an email alert when your file arrives at NVC, your case is assigned and when the file leaves for your Embassy. Enter the petitioner's information as well as the beneficiary's in the "box". Full name, Date of Birth, NOA2 receipt number and WAC number. We have found in some cases that email's are never sent and in other cases this works well. So, your mileage may vary.

     

    2. Checking on your embassy case number from NVC:

    It will take 7 - 10 business days for NVC to receive your file from USCIS after you receive the NOA2, then another 2 - 5 business days for NVC to get your file in their system and produce your case number. Call 7:00 am eastern time for shorter wait times.

    1-603-334-0700 or 603-334-0888. Operator assistance is available Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 12:00 AM (Eastern Time) 1 for English, then 7 (or 5, but I would go 7 as they would tell you if you should call 5 instead after they receive your case.)

     

    Best time to call:

    Right after they open which is around 7:00am US Eastern Time, Mon-Fri. Most have had luck getting the phone answered after the first ring if they called right at 7am.

     

    3. How long to assign a Case # from NOA2

    It's been taking about 2-3 weeks for NVC to assign the case number. Then it's taking another 2-4 weeks depending on the Embassy to receive your case. Your mileage may vary!

     

    4. Follow Similar VJ members timelines. Use the tools here in VJ to answer "when I am going to get etc. etc." question. Near your picture there is a link for your timeline. Select it and once you're on the next page near your picture you will see "follow similar timelines" and it will populate 12 other couples who are near your dates. Scroll down and you will see a "spreadsheet" style page showing all the variables for measurement for when others from your Embassy are getting the same notice of approval or action. Try it. It really works!

     

    5. Follow similar VJ members timelines from other countries. And if you want to follow those from other countries that have similar timelines as yours there are several tools available to you. Go up to Immigration Timelines on the blue ribbon above and select it. Once you are on the next page looked to your left and you will see a box that states, "find similar timelines" and select it. A list will populate with those who are processing close to your timeline. When they start to change you will soon be behind them.

    I followed those that were in my group to give me an idea where they were in processing, so I could judge if I was ahead or behind. It's accurate, maybe within a day or so.

    If you choose to follow those twelve members then you will get an email every time their status updates.

     

    6. Be sure your profile is complete so that we can determine your Embassy. Many of our answers are predicated on the information you supply in your profile. When we look at the left column and can't determine your timeline OR your Embassy it's hard for us to give you a factual answer. If you look at the profile of others here, they have a flag for their country, so it makes it easy for us to reply as we can quickly determine your Embassy. Our answers will sometimes be tailored to a specific Embassy hence the reason for you to complete your profile.

     

    So, if you could help yourself out and complete your profile that sure would help us out when we want to reply to your question with factual information.

     

    Go to the top right of this page select your name (it's on the upper right-hand corner)>my profile>[below your picture on the right column] edit my profile. Scroll to the bottom and fill in "Immigration Info". There now we can better serve you.

    Thanks

     

    7. Timelines. Complete your timeline. In your profile to the left of the page you will see the word "timeline" toward the bottom. Select it and it will take you to the page that has the link for you to complete your timeline. This to can help us to answer some of your questions.

     

    8. Tracking your case. As a K1, when checking your case online at CEAC.state.gov you have to select "immigrant visa" as it is treated as such even though it is a "non-immigrant visa".  Technically the K-1 is a non-immigrant visa with intent to immigrate, but it is treated like an immigrant visa because of the AOS. It is kind of a ba$tard. Non-immigrant case treated like an immigrant case. The K-1 on its own is a single entry, with a short time limited visa that expires within 90 days after POE. That is why it is a non-immigrant visa treated like an immigrant visa.

     

    USICS states If you have a pending I-129f, I-90, I-485, I-751 or N-400, we’ve recently changed the way we’re displaying processing times online to give you a more realistic date range. To check these times, visit https://t.co/ho3dfC5KCA

     

    9. Tracking your case file that's in transit to your Embassy. Go to www.dhl.com click Express then Tracking, then Track by Shipper's Reference, and on this page you add your search information. You change the day and month to what you think your package might have left NVC or call NVC to get the date your package had left NVC in route to your Embassy then go to the DHL website and enter the following information:

     

    NOTE: It will take 24 hours before the shipment will show any results using this hack. DHL and NVC will need time to update their systems.

     

    EXAMPLE:

    * Shipper´s Reference : EXP 24 MAR 2011A　 (This is the date you think it left NVC, just substitute the date and　leave everything else as is)

    * Date range for shipment - From: 23 - 03 - 2011

    * Date range for shipment - To: 26 - 03 - 2011

    Account Number - Leave this blank

    Shipment Destination: Philippines (Works for any country Just replace your country where the Embassy is located using the drop down box).

    I hope these tips help you along your Journey. So, let’s share our experiences, our tips and ask questions.

    10.  Track your case with USCIS:

     

    Old site (also the data source for all 'USCIS case tracker' apps): https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/landing.do

    New : https://myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov/ (you have to create an account and add your case # to it)

    Neither is more reliable (and it's very possible you won't see anything on either, and will have to just wait for the physical mail). For a while it looked like they were phasing out the "old" site, but that trend seems to have reversed itself and there are still lots of cases that show up on only one (or much earlier on one than the other).

     

    11. How long will it take to NOA2. Once your case has been received from NVC by the U.S. Embassy or Consulate that will process it, the length of time varies from case to case according to its circumstances. Some cases are delayed because applicants do not follow instructions carefully or supply incomplete information. (It is important to give us correct postal addresses and telephone numbers.) Some visa applications require further administrative processing, which takes additional time after the visa applicant's interview by a Consular Officer.

     

    12. USPS Informed Delivery Service. There is a service provided by the USPS (US Postal Service) whereby each morning USPS will scan your incoming mail (just the address side of the envelope) and email you an update. It's very convenient these days to have advance notice that an important piece of mail is being delivered.

     

    The service is available to most communities but some are still being rolling out so not all areas are available. Check the website with your zip code to verify your location is available for the service. A person in the USA can sign up for this free service here: https://informeddelivery.usps.com/box/pages/intro/start.action

     

    13. Calling USCIS - You'll need your receipt number, DOB for both of you and full names. Beneficiary or the petitioner can call.

     

    1 (800) 375-5283 8:00 am

     

    Option 1:

    Call USCIS. Do not press anything. Do not choose a language. If someone who picked up the phone cannot answer your question, ask them to transfer you to TIER 2.

     

    Option 2:

    Dial 1-866-953-7684

     

    Option 3:

    Call 1-800-375-5283

    Press 1 to continue to English

    Press 2 for case status

    Press 1 if you know your receipt number

    Press your receipt number 922(followed by your WAC#).

    They will tell you to visit the website for the answer but press 3 or wait and you will be connected to a live agent.

     

    Option 4:

    Dial 1-800-375-5283 then press 1,2,2,4,2,1 then enter receipt number then press 1.

     

    14. Get to know your sub-forum. Each country is divided to sub-forums here on VJ. This is where you go during your wait at this stage to get familiar with those who have gone before you and those who are currently processing. There is a wealth of information there in those threads. It's a better place to ask then someone in this thread from Germany, Spain or Norway who may not know the "steps" that must be taken for approval in your Country's Embassy.

     

    To get there go  up to the blue ribbon at the top of the page, select "forums" and scroll down about 3/4 of the page for the link to your region/embassy.

    Trying to update my email address through this website https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/ask-nvc.html  and it is not taking his DOB I put it in diff diff ways and as it's required  still says unvalid DOB 😕

    NOTE: The I-134 requires a "wet" signature.

    Quick question I am a lil confused  🤔 do they k1 visas submit any documents to the NVC?  Or just wait till NVC received cases and assign a case number, pay the fee  and then when it says case is ready on their website,  we go ahead and schedule interview?

    Not trying to sound bitter but this whole talk about first come first serve for K1 petitions at USCIS, how its gets boxed then serviced based on date is pure rubbish! Today a petitioner from the Phillipines in a FB group announced she received ber NOA2 on 3/21. Her NOA1 was Dec 6th!!! Yes Im happy for them but its NOT about date. Its about the country and I refuse to believe otherwise. So frustrating!! 😡

    Well yeah when I was waiting for my approval, trust me people from NOV and some filers dates are way after me was getting their approvals, and I feel you it is sooo frustrating! I also understand every case is differnt, butThe thing is no one knows how they process cases, 😕 🙃Wish you all the best, hope you get yours soon 🙂

    Same thing happened with me yesterday. Usually when they are overwhelmed with calls they close down that department I can’t even leave a message for them to call you back. Basically they’ll tell you to call back the next day.   I’ll avoid calling on Mondays from now on   

    The best time to call them is on wednesdays fridays, and try to call them early in the morning around.
