Yes, I Included the translation and accuracy statement from the translator in the same document. I just kept the NADRA marriage certificate separate because it is a completely different document issued by a different authority. Meh

 

I havent read anywhere official that it is necessary. I remember reading somewhere that it is important to include a certificate of accuracy from the translator though.

My NADRA certificate was already attested by FO. Translation of nikah nama I got notarized because some people here said you should. But havent gotten that attested by FO.

 

Just keeping my fingers crossed. Good luck!

 

Did they still accept if you kept nadra marriage certificate as one file and Urdu nikahnama+ English translation as another? Thank you in advance!

Do you think that NVC will make any issue that I uploaded my Nadra Marriage certificate in the same file? I hope not 🥺

Did they create an issue for having everything in the same file? Also any guidance on where to get marriage certificate translated and notarized? Thank u in advance.

I made the same mistake as @Bakhtawar Gul.

I uploaded my Nadra Marriage Certificate. I received FE . And it was same ‘ Pakistan requires more than one marriage certificate’ . 

I resubmitted it 

How did you guys fix the issue for “Pakistan requires more than one marriage certificate” comment? 

Hi guys! I’ve heard a few people on here say they’ve submitted their case without the police certificate and wrote that they couldn’t get one due to the lockdown. 
 

What are your guy’s thoughts, is it safe to submit w/o one and just hope they don’t create an RFE or wait till offices open...given we have no idea when...

Thanks in advance!

No, that's what I'm confused about though. We didn't file 864a and they didn't request it . They just said 'please submit every w2/1099 on (person's name ) tax return or transcript. Now I don't know if we will have to submit 864a and transcript for her also.

He filed jointly but using his wage alone.

Maybe we can try to call them again.

I will surely appreciate it jou get any clarity on your end if you can let me know also?

Maybe you should file 864a to be safe.

Some other things may have to go with that also like

Transcript

W2

Proof of domicile

Marriage certificate

🤷‍♀️

 

Yes same thing with me as well. He’s using his wage only. If they needed the whole works of spouse info with W2 and I-864a they would have stated it. Your sponsors income is enough alone right, above 125%? Maybe they want a w2 for the spouse just to see proof of joint filing?

I will ask around and try calling, however please keep me posted if anything new occurs. Thank you!

we`re in the similar situation. out joint sponsor is married and filing taxes jointly. but we didn`t include his wife`s income in his I864 as a household member because instruction say:

"Item Numbers 8. - 22.  Current Annual Household Income.  This section is used to determine the sponsor’s household income.  If your individual annual income listed in Item Number 7. is greater than 125 percent (or 100 percent if you are on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces or U.S. Coast Guard and sponsoring your spouse or child) of the Federal Poverty Guidelines for your household size from Part 5., Item Number 8., you do not need to include any other household member’s income.  See Form I-864P for information on the Federal Poverty Guidelines. 

 

so we only included the joint sponsor`s tax transcript and W2 just to make it easier. however ! I do see how it might come up that we need to submit his wife`s W2, so I am suspecting a RFE for that. 

 

On the other hand if you chose to include sponsor`s spouse as a household member then it would be necessary to include I864a and W2 and the whole works for the household member.

I sincerely hope you don’t get an RFE. See it’s just confusing as his income itself is above 125%and according to Item 8 we don’t need to include any other household income.
I suppose providing more documents wouldn’t hurt or delay the process just to be safe and submit spouse w2 etc as well. 

Kindly keep us posted as to what happens with your process. Thank you a bunch!

We called and they said we need to submit w2 for wife of joint sponser also.

Did you also have to fill out an I-864a for his wife as she was part of his household? I’m on the same boat, my brother in law is the joint sponsor for me but he filed taxes jointly with his wife. 

Hi guys! My brother in law is my joint sponsor for Affidavit of support. If he filed jointly with his wife for taxes 2019 do I need to submit her w2’s and tax transcripts as well? Even though only he’s sponsoring mainly. 
 

thank you guys in advance! 

Hi Guys! Regarding the public charge issue; I’m currently a student doing my masters so don’t have a stable or income at all. I have a joint sponsor however whose proving for AOS. Does he need to submit his W-2s and tax return transcripts both? I’m concerned as I Being the petitioner am a student with no income at the moment. Thanks guys!

FYI for this week
(Case creation was 15th Jan last week. Document review was 10th December last week)

They sent case on Jan 27 to Department of State to review. Does this mean they’ve already probably created a case number for me and I should now await NVC welcome Email? 
 

I have not contacted the NVC yet, the call wait times are pretty rough. Thanks guys!

Maybe it is the combination of a couple of things, the time of year, the glacial pace of progress from our old "friend" USCIS....  It seems that the last couple of threads people were "jones-ing" - harping, complaining, whining about "Janie got two candy bars and I only got one" kind of thing. It was just getting a little trite and petty.

 

Oh well so it goes. I have been on these forums for nine years. My family's own immigration journey is on kind of a holding pattern. I have been on here the last couple of years paying back to the VJ community for all of the help that was provided to us when we were biting our nails awaiting a decision that couldn't come fast enough, or making an eleven hour flight to a country that doesn't even use the same alphabet as the one that you are know, let alone vastly different language and customs. It has been a great run, people need to harp less about where the next person is in the queue, and more about rallying against the horrible mess that USCIS devolved into. It is almost like an amorphous, asynchronous glob that has no perceivable movement or output emanates. The lack of progress exhibited by USCIS borders on criminal, the Federal leaders of our country, on both sides of the aisle, should be held accountable for the deplorable condition that they have ignored for far too many years. Now the citizens that are now in the throes of these processes is bearing the fruit of all of these years of administrative oversight. 

 

Ok, hopefully things will get better in a couple of days....Happy New Year !!! and...

 

Good luck on your immigration journey. 

I’m optimistic, we all have our own road of journey but we’ll get there

Think it might take longer due to the holidays as everyone gets holidays and some agents might take extended time off. 

Oh bummer! I was hopeful it’d get situated by this year.

For something small like that, it's usually quick like < 2 weeks.  Someone earlier this year forgot to tick a box and it took a month.  

 

 

They received my response and materials on Dec 9th so it’s been two weeks now. Maybe by next week they’ll update hopefully  

Hey guys, wasn’t thinking I’d ever get an RFE, but here I am. 

 My lawyer forgot to send in my passport sized photo which is why I got an RFE. 

They received it on DEC 9th at Potomac Service Center. 

Do you think this basic RFE will also take 60 days until approval? 

Anyone else June 20 PD Potomac Service Center got an approval as well? Still waiting on mine. 

Congratulations to you

I think you should wait! You will hear from them very soon! My PD is June 18 2019 at the Potomac Service Center, and we got approved yesterday! They are working on June! Nothing to be worried about .. just be a little more patient! Best of luck! 

Aww! Congratulations to you and very best of luck for the rest of the process  and I think I’ll go ahead and wait then hopeful it’ll b soon 

Hi guys!

So my PD was June 20 2019 at the Potomac Service Center and I’m still waiting for an approval after NOA1. Do you think it would help if I put in a service request or called USCIS for case inquiry?? Or it’s better to just hopefully wait till end of November??
