That was the stage I was in when I went for my visit back at the end of August.

Currently waiting interview.. hope that puts you at ease that things should be fairly straightforward if and when you do plan a visit. 

Same here. My case closed on 6/1 and I went to the US to visit my husband in late July - I told the CBP Officer I was there to visit my husband and I had no problem. I stayed in the US for 5 weeks and I'm planning to visit him again in February.

it will change when you receive an email from the NVC regarding your interview date. that is still normal

Thanks CS Bradshaw!

Hi,

I've seen a lot of people sharing the status of their applications and I see that most of them have a "case creation date" and mine doesn't say anything. Is that normal?

I received my DQ'd email notification on June 1st, 2020.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I have read cases that have successfully proceeded with a letter explaining the circumstance and letting them (NVC) know you will bring the police certificate to interview.

Yes, I did this and it worked for me.

Wow, Congratulation!!! You are very lucky. According to NVC Time Frame, they are reviewing documents were submitted on Feb 14. You are way ahead of them, also it just took you 1 weeks to get everything done from the day your I-130 approved.

Congrats again and best wish to you. 

Thank you! Yes, we were not expecting this but we are very happy an excited.

I wish the best to you as well.

As far as I know, this needs to be filled out by everyone that has their interview after February 20, 2020. 
It is used for everyone applying for a greencard which includes people adjusting status from work visas, which is why there is the tax questions as these people would have filed taxes in the US.

 

For us it's a simple "No" to the question "Did you file a Federal tax return?".

Thank you! We will complete the form before the date of my interview and will take the form with me just in case they ask for it.

Did you guys submit the Public Charge Questionnaire (Form DS-5540), or are you just going to bring that to the interview?

I didn't know about the DS-5540 until yesterday and we didn't submit it. 

I was reading about this questionnaire yesterday and I'm not sure if we have to present it or not. I guess we will present it to the interview if needed. I was taking a look at it and all the information they request seems super confusing. It seems they ask for IRS transcripts for Federal Tax Return but I'm not even in the US.

After acceptance is "review".  Next is checklist for anything they think is missing or don't like, OR case complete (DQ "Document Qualified).  After that, you are in the interview queue.

Thanks! The subject of the email I just received says: "Notice regarding your Immigrant Visa Case becoming Documentarily Qualified" - doesn't this mean that my case has been completed?

This is part of the email as well:

"The National Visa Center (NVC) received all of the fees, forms, and documents that are required prior to attending an immigrant visa interview at a U.S. Embassy/Consulate General overseas.

NVC will work with the U.S. Embassy/Consulate General in CIUDAD JUAREZ, MEX to schedule an interview appointment for you. Once we have confirmed an interview date, we will send a notice to you, your petitioner and attorney (if applicable)".

Yes, I think that once you’re DQ’d, your case is sent to the embassy 😃🎉

Thank you! I'll let you all know if I receive something else.

Guys,

Do you know if the email I received means that my cas has been completed? Or do you know what's next? 

Thanks in advance!

Hi Guys,

I submitted all my documents Thursday last week and today I received an email notification saying all my documents, fees and forms were accepted. Do you know what's next? Does that means that my case has been completed? Or how long does it take to get the "completed" notification?

Thanks in advance!

Nice .... can u give a list of doc ? Thanks 🙏 

Hi,

I think it's different for every country but hope this is helpful:

• We paid the fees using a debit card.
• We filed the DS-260 electronically - it was super easy.
• We only filed the I-864EZ since we were eligible to present that one - the 3 "yeses".
• We uploaded the IRS for 2016, 2017, 2018 and for 2019 I think we used the 1040 since the IRS Transcripts were not available yet.
• Under the "Additional Documents" we uploaded Earn Statements (3 months) and the W2 for 2019.
• For the Civil Documents Part we uploaded: one picture of my passport, 1 passport picture type (of the beneficiary),  copy of my birth certificate and copy of our marriage certificate.
• We didn't upload a Police Certificate due to covid closures and we added a note saying we will present the certificate the day of my interview.
• We were told that we don't require translations for the NVC stage but we added the translations under the "Additional Documentation Part" we had from the USCIS stage just in case.

Good luck with your process!

Wow, that is awesome! Congratulations! That was sooo quick 😃😃😃

We’re currently stuck with the AOS fee. There seems to be a system error and our payment was processed but only the IV fee shows as paid 😩 Supposedly it’s a common issue and can take up to two weeks or more to be resolved! I just hope they fix this soon - else I can’t upload AOS docs 😔

Thank you! I'm sorry to hear you are stuck with your fees. We didn't have any issues when we paid. I hope they process your payment soon.

I'm here for you if you have any questions  I'm not an expert but it seems I did it right.

Hi Guys,

Just wanted to share with all of you that we completed the forms and uploaded all documents last week (we uploaded the last one on Thursday) and we just received the email notification that all our forms and documents were approved - now we just have to wait for our interview. This was so fast, we are very happy and excited.

Wish you all the best!

I was able to upload them under the Additional AOS Supporting Documentation but do you know what should I attach under this section:

 

The 2019 IRS is not available so we attached the ones from 2016-2018, should we attach the W2 forms for 2019?

 

Please disregard this question. We tried with a different computer and it worked.

Thanks anyways!

Hi Martin,

 

May I ask you how did you do to upload the 2018 IRS file under the required AOS documentation? I'm not being able to upload the file there but I could do it under the "additional documentation".

Please disregard my questions. We tried with a different computer and we were able to upload the file.

Thanks and good luck with your process!

Hi, it's my first post.

 

I'm applying for an IR-1 visa. I'm German, living in France and my wife (Petitioner) is an American citizen. I'm at the stage where I have to upload my civil documents. I'm also uploading my wife's Affidavit of Support (AOS), her tax return, and 1099s.

 

Problem with the website

 

Uploading works, since their tech issues were resolved early May, 2020. The documents show up as "Uploaded" 🙂

 

 

But here's the problem: On the main page it says (for a week now) "Not Submitted" 😮

 

 

Under supplemental documents I had uploaded additional 1099s. But as required documents they had only requested the tax return and the AOS (form I-864) so in theory nothing should have been missing. The more detailed message reads "At least one required document has not been uploaded to your case and/or has not been submitted for review."

 

 

Can somebody on this forum enlighten me as to why I'm seeing "Not Submitted" here?  

 

Thanks in advance,

Martin

Hi Martin,

May I ask you how did you do to upload the 2018 IRS file under the required AOS documentation? I'm not being able to upload the file there but I could do it under the "additional documentation".

Do what you can when you can.

Hey, one more question. Do you know if we can use the same translations we used for the I-130/USCIS stage from last year? or do we need to get our documents translated again (with a recent date)?

EZ version alone is fine.  One Tax Return Transcript plus a recent pay stub, the same one you used to calculate your current income.  Current income does not come from an employed person's tax return.  Last year is not "current".

Thank you so much for your help! Do you know if I can sign and submit the DS-260 and then start working on the I-864EZ and the required documentation? Or do you recommend me to sign and submit once I uploaded the I-864EZ, Transcripts and Pay Stub?

Hi All,

We are starting the NVC process and we have a few questions.

I think we qualify to use the I-864EZ.

• Be the petitioner who filed the original Form I-130 on behalf of the intending immigrant; my husband.
• Be the petitioner who filed the original Form I-130 on behalf of the intending immigrant; he filed the I-130 only for me.
• Be able to show sufficient income to support the intending immigrant based solely on your salary and pension, which amount is shown on the W-2 Form(s) provided by your employer or former employer; he make around 55k in 2019 and he's only using his income - no joint sponsor.

Do we need to file the I-864 as well? Or is it enough with the I-864EZ?

Also, do you know what's the "additional aos supporting documentation" that we need to upload? I see we have to upload the I-864 or EZ and we also have to attach the IRS Transcripts but do we need to attach anything else?

Thanks in advance for your help!
