So using ceac website and my case number shows the following: "Your case is ready for your interview when scheduled at the U.S. Consular section. If you have already scheduled an appointment for an interview, please prepare your documents as directed in your appointment letter and appear at the consulate on the appointed date and time. Otherwise, please wait until you have been notified of your interview appointment. Additional information about how Immigrant Visa interview appointments are scheduled can be found at: http://nvc.state.gov/interview" I have not filled any visa application yet and I am a little confused about the process here. I would really appreciate some help. What should I do? How long can I extend the process if I need to buy some time? Thanks for your help in advance...

Thank you for the response. So we don't need any of those financial support stuff etc?? we go right for interview and that's it?

So I received an Email from NVC saying "Dear Sir/Madam: The correspondence attached to this email relates to the I-129F visa petition listed in the subject line. Please read the information in the attachment carefully and follow the instructions. Regards, National Visa Center Written Correspondence Team" There is an attached file with my Case# but no Invoice ID anywhere to be found. The document says "K1-FTP". I tried to create an account using the case number and beneficiary's date of birth instead of invoice ID as some online websites were saying but did not work. so What is this email and am I supposed to do something or just wait for their next email?

I did not include passport stamps in my package, but I do have tickets with receipts, a letter from the hotel we stayed with both our names, and all the boarding passes in one page together. Should I call them or just wait and see if they ask for anything? Maybe they ask for those for NVC?? @Crazy Cat @SalishSea

I appreciate any feedback. I will absolutely not fake anything when it comes to legal stuff; that's just playing with fire. I was merely saying it is possible. We have so many pictures, but I just forgot to print and send it. I just hope they don't give us a hard time for not sending them since they can easily be added to documents we sent to NVC and Embassy. I have testimonies, hotel letter with both names on it, etc and hoping that would be sufficient for now.

I agree with @Crazy Cat. You can easily Photoshop a picture but once you have a ticket and the boarding pass associated with it I think you are set. Of course I will submit some pictures as evidence late on for NVC and Interview, but fingers cross hopefully they are not going to delay our case for picture at this early stage. Thanks for the Feedback BTW!

Hey everyone, So I sent my dox to USCIS just a few days ago but forgot to include pictures of us just to show we were together; however, I have included airline tickets and boarding passes, a letter from the hotel we spent time together for 25 days, and finally letters from her family and mine supporting our claim that our relationship is genuine and we have met in person. Would this be a problem at this stage? Should I take any action at this time?

Good Morning and thanks in advance. for personal statements and things like letters of intent, does the beneficiary need to sign and mail the original copy to me or scans of the signed letter is sufficient? Also, can I get the digital copy of the beneficiary's photo then print and send it or she needs to print, certify, and send it to me?

You completely confused me about this timing thing . I thought consular processing is when you give your documents directly to the Embassy/consulate. I am sending my documents to the USCIS so is that going to be US based processing center? or consular?

So to my understanding, USC will have to fill out I-130 and the spouse I-130A. What happens if I file I130 online? Does the Spouse fill out the 130A and we mail it separately?

So let do an example: If my company receives 30,000 USD in 2023, and I claim 5,000 USD as my expenses. My income would be 25k that is above the poverty guidelines, right?

I was wondering if these poverty guidelines are based on gross income or net? I am self employed while in school and don't know if I should benefit from deductions and expenses to pay less taxes or try to show my profit higher which means I have to pay more taxes.

Fingers crossed then...

Thank you for your feedback. I am attending an American school overseas and will be back to do my clinical rotations in the US next year, so domicile should not be an issue. AP is more often for males applying for US VISA, I am not sure if females would go through AP or not. As you said, the process is long, but when you love someone it worth every minute of it.

Thank you so much. What do these stand for: (Sorry for my dumb question) CSC VSC NSC TSC NBC

Thank you! Is there somewhere I could find out the timeline from when the documents are sent to these embassies until an interview is taken place?

I am a med student in Grenada, she is coming and staying with me for a few months.

Hi everyone and thanks in advance for sharing, My fiance lives in Iran, and as you may know there is no US embassy there. The question is how can I find a US embassy in one of the neighboring countries with the lowest workload hoping to get an earlier interview. We are planning on marring via Utah Zoom Marriage before applying obviously.

Thank you so much. I tried to find anything on Utah Online marriage but somehow could not find any.

Hi everyone, I was wondering if my fiance and I have to meet after marrying via Utah Zoom marriage service. I know with proxy marriages we have to meet to "Consummate" the marriage but not sure if that applies to Zoom marriages or not. Also, is there anything to look out for when doing zoom marriage? Thanks in advance

You guys are amazing. Thank you so much for the feedback.

Hi Everyone, My apologies if this is a silly question. Does it matter where the marriage takes place? If it does what should I consider when I am searching for one? I am a US citizen and my fiance (future wife) lives in Iran if it matters. I am deciding between marrying in Iran, Turkey, or one of those beautiful Caribbean islands.

Hi everyone, Do I have to reside in the US in order to apply and start the K1 VISA application for my fiance? Would it be different if we decide to go through CR1?

My fiance and I are planing to start our journey. We haven't decided whether to go through K1 or CR1 yet. The question I have now is that whether student load can be used as a source of income? I am a med student and get about 40K per year as expenses (after the school take their own tuition and fees) which is above the guideline of 125% poverty-line but not sure if I can use that as income.
