    IR-5 Question

    in Bringing Family Members of US Citizens to America

    Posted

    The IR-5 visa validity depends on the medical which is 6months valid... It doesn't mean that when the visa was issued it will have 6months validity, it will depend on the medical validity...

    When they enter the US, the stamp on their passports which we were told valid for 1yr is their way to get in and out of the country...that was what the immigration officer told us when my parents entered the US...

    IR5 Interview

    in Bringing Family Members of US Citizens to America

    Posted

    Hi there!

    My parents just finished their interview today and passed.

    I told my mom to ask them if it is okay to have their interview together and they said yes.

    They did well together. Make sure your parents has all the copy of all the NVC correspondence with the petitioner.

    They were in line this morning and saw an old woman was asked to go because she didn't have the NVC letter with the case number and invoice number... not sure which one... but what I did with my parents documents... I printed everything and gave it to them to bring to their interview.

    Good luck!

    CIvil Documents on the IR5 interview

    in Bringing Family Members of US Citizens to America

    Posted

    I am currently pissed with my brother whom I expected to prepare everything for my parents' interview which is tomorrow, Feb 2.

    Upon reviewing the checklist with him I found out that they don't have birth certificate and marriage certificate available for my mom.

    Even though I've been reminding them since last year to have it for interview, he said, He "thought" they still have it without checking....grrrr....

    When I submitted DS 260 online and sent all the civil documents to NVC, I forwarded them originals, is there a chance that US Manila Embassy will not ask anymore civil documents during interview?

    Anyone? Please.. thanks in advance.

    what is ds260 documents to be sent? I thought it will be filled up online only?

    It's on the NVC website... they are the supporting documents;

    My list was below;

    AOS bar coded cover sheet

    Two (2) passport size photographs of Beneficiary (case number, full name and date of birth written on the back both)

    Photocopy of the biographic data page of Beneficiarys passport

    Original NBI clearance of Beneficiary

    Original Birth Certificate of Beneficiary

    Original Marriage Certificate of Beneficiary

    Hey guys.. i'm here again..

    I paid my AOS fee (affidavit of Support) it shows PAID, should i send my aos packet/docs or should i wait for IV invoiced to be paid and send aos and IV at the same time.

    Or Should i just send the AOS alone?

    what do you guys think? I want to make the process fast if i can :)

    Send the AOS documents right away, and wait a month or more for the IV fee to be available... They will email you, then pay it, once it shows paid, you can do the DS260 online, then send your DS260 documents...

    NVC 60 Day Delay??? From even looking at Paperwork???

    in Bringing Family Members of US Citizens to America

    I received that same email too from nvc, a reply for our checklist. This 60days review is really frustrating. The process is taking too long for us all. :(

    They received my DS 260 documents Sept. 30 and received a letter of 60 days time frame Oct. 1, Yesterday, I called NVC to make sure they received AOS and DS 260 documents, I was told, my case completed Oct. 20, and Oct. 29 they already scheduled the interview on Dec. 4...

    No update on the ceac website...

    I was really surprised although, it has been delayed.. try to call them to get an update. Be ready to wait more than 30mins hold time to get to talk to them though...

    Good luck...

    Certified Copy of Marriage Certificate vs. Certified Abstract of Marriage for I-130 Petition

    in Bringing Family Members of US Citizens to America

    Posted

    Hi guys,

    I have filed I-130 for both of my parents... I am on NVC stage now and preparing legal documents to be sent to NVC after I pay their IV fees.

    Unfortunately, I only got one certified copy of my marriage certificate left, so I ordered online.

    What they sent me is a Certified Abstract of Marriage.

    My question is, is this acceptable to NVC? I heard also, that when they go for their interview they will need my certified copy of my marriage cert... is this Abstract of Marriage be enough?

    I hope you can help me with this.... I just want to know if there were someone here who submitted an abstract of marriage and didn't have any issues with it...

    Thanks in advance...

    Correcting DOB with NVC (wrong DOB was reported in I-130)

    to answer your Problem #1, I had almost the same problem for my father's petition, I forgot the Jr. in his name...

    You will need to email NVCinquiry@state.gov and be sure to include the following;

    NVC case number,

    Principal applicant name and date of birth,

    Petitioner's name and date of birth,

    then state your problem and provide/attach copy of the bio page of her/his passport to support the correct details.

    Question on I-864

    in Bringing Family Members of US Citizens to America

    Posted

    Hi Sachin1 and J&N071213,

    Both my parents have seperate i-130 filed. I got the approval from USCIS on the same day for both my parents. They transfered the petition to NVC on the same day for both my parents. From NVC i got 2 acceptance notice and 2 instructions to file I-864 fees. Also, i have to NVC Case numbers for each of my parent. I payed the fees for my dad on the NVC site and then went to pay it for my mom (using her case number) and it said it the fees is processing (just like it said on my dads case).

    So, i do have 2 case numbers for Mom and Dad, though it appears that NVC just accepted 1 i-864 fee for both of them. On the NVC site, if i check either of the case (moms of dads) there is another tab there which says

    "the petitioner of this case, [/size]BMBXXXX, has also filed at least one other related case which is currently in process at the National Visa Center. The AOS fee payment for this case will satisfy the AOS fee requirement for the related case(s) listed below. [/size]

    • BMBXXXXX"
    So i guess they get tied together some how.

    Now my question is since they are 2 seperate cases with seperare case number in NVC (But tied some how together) do i need to fill out 2 seperare i-864 forms for each ?? and then in Part 3, question 2, leave that blank ??

    Thank you all for your response and help.. Truly apprecaited..

    I got the same... filed two separate for both my parents... send two sets of I-864 plus supporting documents....

    as to your questions... yes... Part 3... Check yes on Item 1... and on the Item 2... none....then Item 7... just put 1... for each parent... you're not supposed to add the other parent coz you have separate petition for each...

    I hope this helps...

    Hi Everyone. After the approval that we got from USCIS, what should we expect next?

    • Do we wait for something? Until when should we wait?
    • Do we need to call anybody? Who, When should we call?
    • Documents we need to prepare?
    • Anything about next steps after the USCIS approval.
    Salamat (Thanks) in advance!

    You'll have to wait until NVC emails you about the instructions to pay the AOS fee.

    With mine, I had to wait about a month. I called and got the case number and IV number but unless you get their email, you won't be able to access https://ceac.state.gov/ceac/ ....

    Then as soon as you get it, access the link and pay the AOS fee... then when it shows it is paid... you can send your AOS documents...

    I am on that stage now... I sent mine a week ago and still waiting.. I heard NVC said 60 days time frame for AOS documents processing alone... so it's a waiting game still...

    Hoping I won't get any checklist... good luck on yours...
