We receive emails from the NVC last night. Our 130 was approved Aug 23, letft USCIS Aug 30 and arrived at NVC Sept 9

Hope this info will give an idea to those waiting behind us. Good luck to all. 

congratulations !

Just wondering since you mentioned NVC sent the updated ; was your case not updated on the uscisc My account / case tracker ?  

all dates am hearing from are exactly around mine 🙂 i hope to hear something soon too ! 

Good luck with NVC guys & those waiting like me , guys we are almost there

The chart is for the petition at USCIS.   The consulate takes into consideration the totality of the circumstances.  Two different standards.

exactly this is why i am worried, for india currently the NVC to interview is taking 9 months and on top of that few cases gone to AP with taking few more months so this is why i am trying to gather more information and be on the safe side of things.

What does the I-864P chart say?

 

We are over the 864P chart figure as that requires $26,662 for household of 3 ( Me, my spouse & her younger brother who she has been filling as dependent in her taxes). But i am trying to be on the safe side as i have been reading numerous cases going though AP during NVC visa stage post interview with requirement of new sponsor  or sponsor related issue

Hello, 

Please can anyone help me by sharing information with regard to i-864 ;

My spouse has filled i-130 petitioned for me and we will be going through the NVC process , for the income she is earning $34k in california (might not meet the cut-off) so we are thinking about asking the spouse's Immediate family to help us by filling i-864 . 

The question is ; the family member is on a greencard , so i was wondering is that an issue?

Yes. It seems like my case was sent to NBC. Not entirely sure why becasue TSC seems to be doing fine. But... apparently transfer due to workload??? 

 

I guess im supposed to expect the same processing time as where it originally was filed 😶🤔

Yeah sure. I don't know yet, will know after I recieve the paper copy of the transfer. 

Hello, Was wondering did you get any update?

thanks

"through the thick and thin"

In life you are going to face many such situations which will test your individuality and leave you cornered alone . I know its going to sound easy said then done but these are the situations which if you power through will later down the line will become your relationship milestones . Being acknowledged and getting respect are basic human needs; when both lack, powering through such hardships is what builds a stronger tomorrow. Its good to vent and so beautiful to see that the community on this forum is so supportive. Try some social activity like cooking/sport/any hobby that starts to re-establish your own social worth and this will give you some current memories to share with your spouse , friends & family. This will give your spouse a signal that s/he might be missing out on chances to create such memories with you. I am no expert but felt sometimes words said are better than kept tp yourself.

Yeah I also saw that my case was transferred. Did anyone else get this?

i hope i am not asking too much but please can you share where did it get transferred to ?

and good luck ! hope the transfer expedites the process 

seems like the processing just hit a roadblock ... 😕 no cases since 29th

heres a thought why not keep this trip a short one, she goes back and re-applies for a tourist visa ..

since she will leave US with a short visit trip and return before anything expires this will show the VO that she has returned and not at risk of AOS/with immigrant intent. Consequently, this might increase her chance for a B2 visa... Since her country is india the B2 visa will in most likely be for 10 years and that will solve everything and then you can take your time with your future course of action. Just DO NOT go for a way around with any information or documents you give to USCIS or in DS 160. Remember a ban of 10 years is a big possibility .

Hey guys, just thought I'd post my experience of coming to the US to visit my wife via SEATAC Airport, Seattle! Conversation roughly went as follows;

 

Officer: purpose?

Me: Vacation and visiting wife/her family.

Officer How long you visiting?

Me: 3 weeks.

Officer: You're aware that you can't stay permanently right?

Me: Yep, we're going through the I-130/spouse visa process right now.

Officer: Awesome, just to make sure you don't overstay or anything cause that can severely impact that process and stuff.

Me: Don't worry, nothing is more important to me than making sure all of that stuff is going smoothly right now! 

 

He then asked me a few questions about where we met and stuff along with how much cash I had with me. He then stamped the approval and let me go on my way! So nice and easy and had no need to pull out any documents or anything I'd prepared 😃

 

nice! please can you share was this ESTA visit or B1/B2? IF B1/B2 how long were you stamped to stay for ? i mean did they put an exit by this date stamp on your i94 on passport? 

Thanks

Thank you for the advice and sharing your opinion. I appreciate it! 

 

So, my sister is 22 years old, work at  Greenwich as a cashier. She doesn't make enough money to support herself to come to the US. She didnt finish college either. She doesn't own any property.  She has a clean criminal record. She is been to hongkong once. She basically doesn't have any ties to come back to the Philippines.  That's what I'm actually scared of that she might get denied . 

The main reason that she want to come here in the US, I just gave birth, she wanted to visit me, my mom(live with me) and her nephew.

 

Question: 

1.She is thinking to finish her nursing degree, does it help she get a chance to get approved?

2. If the VO ask her how she'll be able to afford , can she says my sister help her? 

I feel like she has a low chance to get her Visa approve. 

3. Is it worth to hire an agency in the Philippines  to help process the tourist visa?

 

 

 

1. When/if  VO asks the question what do you do currently?

  - before stating her job as a cashier i would say it would be nice to clearly mention that she is pursuing nursing 

2. The reply seems legit i think she should, whereas showing you as a sponsor clears the VO's doubt and makes it a reasonable grounds to rejection as then VO knows if she decides to not come back then you will take care of her financially .. (not a legal  expert or expert consular  advise.. just my own knowledge.. )

3. i am from India and out here immigration consultant industry is one of the top money lynching sectors fooling people out of their hard earned money. Your case is a 100% genuine and thus you have 100% genuine doubts and worries.. you are at the right place right now , use the knowladge of public forum to garner confidence and remember since usually no document is seen by VO's thus there is nothing any consultant can do and if the replies to VO's questions felt scripted i.e premeditated taught by consultants then that sure might lead to a rejection.. 

Conclusion , give a 100% honest attempt and hope for the best. don't over do over think and over prepare. No one can guarantee YES or NO but a proper honest attempt can guarantee no future trouble

H everyone, 

 

My timeline:

Filed: 15thth February 2019

NOA1: 20th February 2019

NOA2: Pending

 

Does it matter if I'm applying from Argentina?

 

Thanks and congratulations to everyone! 

Country for i130 spouse beneficiary shouldn't be a factor .. (well hopefully not)

something that sure can help is calling uscis on repeat, sending email just somehow compel them to bring your file up a bit.

How stupid exactly do you think they are? 

One way ticket to a ban for misrepresentation, more likely.

update changed my return to under a month , so this question is more for information now...

that is exactly my concern..

firstly, thanks for replying.

ok  so technically on b1/b2 they usually allow a visit to be 6 months long so i am well below that.. The ticket i got a was a great deal but had a condition that the return ticket to be in a certain month...  so with your experience can you please guide me in case of b1/b2 4 month trip will there be any issue?

once again thanks for taking the time to reply, i really appreciate all the help!
