What do you mean? So if I don’t have personal income and I haven’t filed taxes my case will be put on hold? Can you elaborate 

Yes as far as my knowledge u need to have some income and the rest is from joint sponsor but it's better for you to consult with some lawyer or someone will help u.

Hey guys, in a slight pickle here. Had conflicting reports for a booster for COVID. As one of the members posted a link to new guidelines, a booster shot is apparently required in the past 12 months* for all intending immigrants.

 

My wife went to JPMC (in Karachi) for her polio and COVID booster shot yesterday. She was told from the staff that there has been NO booster in Pakistan since October of last year (meaning not in stock). They also said maybe they'll get some after Eid, but not sure.

 

Can anyone provide any insight here? Anyone know if this is corroborated, and if not, then where can my wife get her booster in Karachi?

 

Appreciate you guys!

Can you call and verify that from the designated clinic where you will have your medical maybe they can give right info to you and also tell you about where to get booster if it's required. That's the best I can think of if anyone knows better please share.Good luck.

I'll give this my best shot. For starters, I hope someone can chime in. If you haven't filed taxes the past few years (assuming because you had zero income?) then you could probably put zero in the 2022 and 2021 tax years (because you still have to file an i864 even if your income doesn't suffice).

 

You, your brother in law, and his wife will need new affidavits of support because it's a New Year. If you haven't filed taxes for 2023, I'd go ahead and do so, because they might try to put a pause on the case or put it in AP (someone please chime in here). But that's what I'd do. But you all definitely need to fill new affidavits.

@ZkhanYes as per my knowledge spouse should have personal income to sponsor the beneficiary if income level low then you can have others to support the process but yes needs updated AOS and others family members who support their Updated income tax return too hopefully they don't make it a excuse for AP. Good luck but if anyone knows better please share.

Yes all good enough 👍 make sure to take copies of all you submit on ceac at interview especially updated AOS W2 paystubs and tax return besides your original documents as a applicant. Good luck

Hay, Thanks for the heads up- I would definitely ask her for this W-2 however I notice you mentions Tax return and IRs tax Transcript as two separate items? Isnt the tax transcript the same as the Tax return? I am confused...

 

A little clarity would be great- Plus NVC approved my above documents and hence told me I am DQ? Isnt that sort of good enough that NVC already told me that The documents are good enough or you are suggesting that NVC DQ means little to nothing? 

 

Thanks alot!

NVC DQ all you need,but if it's Dq year or two then after you get IL upload the updated AOS and W2 and yes tax return is fine but you can get tax transcript from IRS site too it's just one page version of IRS showing your tax return in official way that's all. Good luck.

For relationship pictures I had a question? I've collated an 8 page pdf with pictures throughout my visits chronologically by visit/dates. Does every single picture need date/location/ who is in the picture (if its family or friends)? I have described at the first instance of a relative in a picture (example parents/siblings) but then do not keep on repeating it for every picture together with family? Is that ok? 

 

Also my DQ is Aug 4 2022 for whoever asked!

No that's fine with year and dates of visits and some info about poeple in pics not every single needs description but remember to make a copy of the same pics to take in the interview too which u load on ceac to proof we did all these extra things for the safe side.good luck.

Appreciate all of your inputs!

 

I do apologize but I had another question. One of my friend's wife in Pakistan is also expecting her interview in the coming months. Her passport and birth certificate were either lost or stolen (they don't know because they had moved). Since the husband had the marriage documents they still have those, but their question is should they upload the new documents or just explain at the interview?

 

New birth certificate was made this week and new passport is a week or two away. The new birth certificate has today's date as issue date so it will be obvious it's not the same document as at the time they uploaded their documents 2 years ago, most probably the same will be true for the passport.

I think u can take it on interview day so if they ask u can explain it instead of uploading to make them confused but if someone else knows differently please share to help this member thx

Hey guys! My wife had the first 2 shots for COVID but never got a booster. Does she need a booster shot?

 

Also, I'm expecting her interview in the next month or two, so should she go get her polio vaccination and certification done now or should we wait?

Do it now no need to wait for polio vaccine get the certification now. Good luck

Same with paystubs. Do I need to upload them if I have tax transcripts? And if I do need to upload paystubs how many should I upload? 

It's not necessary but just for safe side we just did in our case you don't have to but if u want just recent paystubs like two or three B4 interview months to make your case stronger that u can financially take care of your spouse so they don't ask too many questions about it we did that it's your choice.

9 hours ago, BasitFionaAli said:

Is this all I need to update? Just new AOS and tax returns? Or is there anything else you uploaded? I think I figured out how to do it I uploaded new tax transcripts and AOS 

Can you please check my or others previous post and if u want to be safe side just upload relevant stuff or just follow the YouTube channel I told you but updated AOS,W2 paystubs,and tax return are the most important.Good luck

Do I have to ask NVC to unlock our ds260 to update Basits new passport? Or can we just upload a pic of his new passport under civil documents? Everyone keeps telling me do this do that or don't do this and I'm so confused lol

Just upload a copy of new passport and take new passport and old to interview just in case and give the new one and put the new ones # everyplace from now on  and don't open ds260 it's going to mess up. It's done there.🙏

Do you need to upload new AOS if you kept the same job? I've worked at my job for five years now

Yes it's good to update last three years income and tax return we did that but if  u can just fill and take the copies that's good too there's a YouTube channel of Remsha from Karachi to Michigan watch her video very helpful for preparation for interview we did.

Hmm this makes me nervous cause my lawyer won't do it and I'm scared to do it by myself 😕

Don't worry then just take copies of all updated documents to interview and hope for the best. Your lawyer should upload at least updated AOS our lawyer did that bcuz waiting for 4 years things get changed. Good luck all the best.🙏

Ok thank you.

I was missing tax transcripts but it has been almost 3 months they haven’t reviewed my documents and our case was last updated February 14 still shows refused but they still have kept the passport at that time they said to just upload the documents online and as soon as you get that done will give you visa. 
 

Am just disappointed by the long wait time not sure how long it would take.

They take time for no reason ,it can take sometime few months or so but eventually they will issue.Good luck

Everyone is saying to upload new documents on CEAC but NVC didn't ask for anything new and my lawyer says do not do this just bring new documents and passport to interview. Anyone do what my lawyer said and was fine?

Yes my advice is upload Updated AOF with new info about jobs,last three years tax info and also upload recent tax return, and also bring copies to interview it save time and especially if candidate is male ISl embassy just give hard time and put u in 221 g for no reason saying to upload so it can help you but it's up to you we uploaded all new info. Good luck.
