Hi, i already read 2-3 threads about how to open the ceac messages on our account, i know it sounds ridiculous but whenever i click them there is this grey box and nothing else after that.

Even if i wait for a few minutes nothing will appear, kept clicking on the message to 'refresh' the message but nothing. 
anyone an idea? 
the subject of it states : 

all required applicant documents have been received and approved

Hi, you can download acrobat reader and try the 7 day free version.  I had similar problem and I was able to fill it out with acrobat reader. Hope that works for you.

Already sent our 2nd packet off! 
thank god! 
so we're just hoping for the best with all now! 😊

Oh, I see. Did the NVC approve that? I never thought that would be possible.

Yes, we did it the same way on our 130 form  

so either like that or you print a blank and fill it out by hand.

I have another question regarding the I-864Z.

 

I'm trying to add some information but the form is not allowing me to edit some fields. For example this one - I checked "I am currently employed" but I'm not being able to add the rest of the information, only the current individual annual income:

 

 

Do you know what should I do in order to edit and add the required information?

My husband had it filled out as much as he was allowed to and had it printed then out, filled out the rest per hand, scanned It and uploaded it.

I think mine is also in texas. so for the second packer you can also do everything online?

Yes, there are things of evidence which you need to upload and things you can upload and if  something is missing they can notify you via email and you just upload it to this website.
 

If you have your NOA1 which you got by mail you can see it on the bottom to which center it got mailed to. 
we didnt know for a long time lol.

Hi.

my uscis center was in texas and was not transferred! And it took exactly 5 months.

we have sent off our forms and evidence online.

after these 5 months of waiting we got an email saying there is a visa available for me and we started our 2nd packet.

in that email is everything you need and is also to fill out online.

Hi,

i put in No and explained with following sentence: 

' i am in process of reviewing vaccinations records and will obtain the required vaccinations on the date of the medical exam'

i also asked this question and someone answered with this sentence.

Thank you but the link won’t open

What exactly do you need for this form ? Like do I need paystubs and tax returns from my country if I have filed them? I am also super lost with this form and what to provide as evidence with it and was about to ask here anyway. 
 

it confuses me because it all asks about things I don’t have. 
i had a regular income after I came back from the US in where I also paid taxes (1040nr ez?) 2017 and 18 but I have no transcripts of it and before I got laid off because of Covid.

sorry for bursting in

It asks for the supervisors name during the time of employment at any given company. My wife called a former employer from 9 years ago and asked for the supervisor's name; they were fairly rude to her and didn't give her a name whatsoever. Is this field necessary to be filled? I thought that perhaps putting the company president's name would suffice. Thoughts?

I think you also can just cross off the Box right next to it where it says i Dont know or something like that. I just finished my ds260 , but since i only worked in Small companies with only one boss i put in my boss' name

I would not expect you to be questioned in depth on your employment history unless it is in a field pertaining to national security. 

 

 

Okay, thank you!

No its not, lol

Your current employment status will have no effect on your visa.  Accuracy is important 

Thats what i was worried about! 
But good to know thanks. 
 

so i have to make sure that there is no or mostly no blank between the history from High School - my recent employment. 
 

Should I bring my new contract of employment to the interview then? 

Im currently filing my DS 260 ( NVC , CR1 ) and I got laid off but will be re employed by June / July.

Should I type in Unemployed and then provide my entire history since high school or should I type in present occupation and my  " current employer ". 

please ask if you need more information. 

already posted in nvc filers, no answer yet, so hope some can help here 😊

There are many very knowledgeable people here, I don't use any other immigrations forum since I found this Just always keep in mind that most experiences are individual and every case is different (I guess what I'm trying to say is don't panic when you read about a bad experience, because you might experience quite the opposite at a similar stage).

If you're at NVC stage, join us here (and a May group will likely surface tomorrow)

 

yes, already at nvc stage for about a week now. 

Thank you, really

I completely understand trust me. That is why we are here to help and there is even a German part of VJ for people. So you are not alone. 

i was already looking under country specific threads and posts but there are only a few and some of them are my own, lol. 
i mean i just started and still have to learn alot of things here but i am also afraid to ask too much and get things back like, - there is already something online here - 

but i am just not in the mood to read through a bunch of posts, you know.

No pity party, most of us don't use attorney's (and many actually have experiences with attorneys giving bad advise). Join the NVC April filer group and read about other experiences. We're all doing it on our own, and if you know where to look, DOS and USCIS actually provide accurate and helpful guides You can do this!

you are awesome! only took me a bunch of posts here to find the answers i was looking for , lol! 

i will do, thank you lots 🥰

There are only a couple people on that sub that I would actually listen to because the vast majority of them have no idea and/or just say that you need to see a attorney. 

i cant even afford an attorney.
thats why it is so hard and painful to go through at this stage of petition. 

not only because i am the only one who has to file for all of these things now, and gather all the infinite and required documents they want and need but its also in english and nobody in my circle i know, knows what i am talking about, let alone my husband in the US.

Did you check if your J1 does state that you have a two year residence requirement after returning home? Not all J1's have it so I am wondering if you even need to apply for a waiver

 

i already was talking about that on a thread in redd.it but people said i should do it to be on the saver side. 
here is the link to it:

You don’t need the police certificate the US, they look at your background internally.

okay, thank you!

i dont know why they have to make it so complicated all the time 🙄

hi, 

i was an Aupair for almost two years in the states and just read through the nvc page, category:  required civil documents.

i might need a police clearance letter from the states but where do i get one of these?

Maybe there is someone from Germany here which had gone through the same and could help me out or knows about this ?

i was texting the consulate but they literally just sent me a document with the exact same answer as on the nvc page. 

Please ask for any further information, of which state etc. i dont know if that is needed!

also i am about to send a form which is called J Visa Advisory Opinion Application to see if i am eligible for the 212(e) - Subject to the two year residence requirement. 

Anyone experience with it?

Hi ihr lieben! 
 

Nun, ich bin relativ neu hier in diesem Forum, welches sehr informativ ist. 
 

wir haben bereits unsere Petition abgeschickt und warten momentan auf unsere NOA1, welche hoffentlich nächste oder übernächste Woche ankommen sollte 🙏🏻
 

Danach käme ja die NOA2. Wie lange hat die bei euch gebraucht? Kann mir vorstellen, dass durch die Corona Krise die Dinge eventuell länger dauern, was ich natürlich nicht hoffe ... 

 

Danke 😊 

 

Liebe Grüße, Bino. 

Hi, 

(US & Germany)

applied on november 18/19

unsere NOA1 kam Nov 22

NOA2 kam genau 5 monate später und zwar am 23.4

You can take the additional documents to the interview.

For DS260 answer, make sure to provide explanation when you complete the form that even though it’s been less than 2 years, you were not subject to the residency requirements.

So then i check yes because only then i can explain my matter.

thank you!

Document translation requirements are embassy/consulate specific.  It does say documents in the official language of the country where the interview is taking place don't need to be translated; however, that is not universal.  You need a Germany specific answer on this issue.

Sorry, just have so many questions in my head.

well one messages me (a german citizen) and told me that she isnt going to translate them because she will have her visa here in germany as well and that it wont be mandatory to translate them then.

Still torn

1. That’s fine if you think it’s helpful.

2. Answer depends on what month you returned back to Germany. If it hasn’t been two years, then you would say Yes

 

1. but can i submit them somewhere or do i have to bring them to the interview in germany?

2. i came back january 3rd 2019 - but both in my visa and my ds 2019 it says i am not subject to the residence requirement.

 i was reading through a lot of threads here and there was one discussion with the same problem a few years ago and they went on saying it doesnt hurt anything in the further process and also that they have checked NO by that question with exchange visitor in the ds 260 form.

so now you can imagine me sitting here trying to find answers
