Underscore U.S.A

Ok how long does it typically take for USCIS to approve the second step followed my NVC?

I filed for my wife who is in Nigeria back in November of 2023 and I haven’t heard anything since. I saw that the case has reached the second stage and I’m wondering is this where NVC will schedule the appointment or what?

Hello all I have a question about processing times. So I did the I-130 last year in November and I haven’t heard anything yet. I looked on the receipt that I received when I paid for it and it showed that it was in Texas. I’m assuming this is the center that’s processing the I-130, how long does it take for an approval from the processing center that’s in Texas?

Hello I’m currently in Mississippi

So hello everyone, after posting in this group and learning so much things have gone to a bad turn. Things aren’t going well at all and we both are considering a divorce. So here is the run down, she has never been in the United States and we had gotten Married in October (7months)of last year in Nigeria. I already filed the I-130 and still waiting. Regarding the divorce, how do I seek a divorce from my wife so she doesn’t retain my last name. I could just leave but I do not think that’s the right thing to do. Is it possible for me to file for a divorce without having to return to Nigeria? And I was reading about the 2 year rule of divorce in Nigeria and I was wondering if that applied to me since I’m not a resident of Nigeria? I need help please!!!!

I mean anyway I can bring her here as a visitor until the process is done. I’ve heard that it can take a while.

If I submitted my I-130 in November and I am awaiting for an answer, can I invite my wife to the U.S. or will it prolong the process? Or will it extend the time that I’m awaiting now?

I seeing the information and you explained it to me so what I’m going to do is submit her birth certificate that includes her baptism and religious records included like you said

Ok so when I went ahead and it said that if I don’t have any of these records then I have to submit a written document from 2 witnesses that knows about it. It also said that if I don’t submit it it will result in my application being delayed or not processed.

After I entered the I-130a for my spouse and I’m not including any children. It asked me this under a topic called “official Statement” and from what I can see it sounds like this is for a child but I can be wrong can someone please assist me please?

Hello everyone so I’ve been working on the document the I-130 and the I-130A. I’ve made it to the end where it’s asking about this information, I’m going to attach a picture can someone explain this to me please?

Thank you so much the reason why I ask is because the document that I saw it only asked for current employment, or if I was retired I am not retired.

Hello all! Do I still use an I-130 as the first step file for my wife if I’m a disabled veteran and receive benefits and if so can some one show me an example?

With any of the other forms besides the I-130 that I need to bring her over do I have to have any type of joint finances with my wife?

I don’t have any credit cards in the US to add her to. I even tried to add her to my bank account, but they told me that since she was not physically there that they could not add her to my account. And I don’t file taxes, but I do receive VA benefits and before I leave Nigeria, I was trying to ensure that I did not have to have it, so I was just submit a supporting documentation along with the nearest certificate and the other witnesses for the affidavit, etc..

Is it mandatory that my wife and I share finances? I ask because I was told that I had to either show joint ownership such as a bank account or something to that extent. I’ve been trying to open a joint account in Nigeria but they told me that I have to have a bvn number I’m having a difficult time trying to get it. If I make the 125% poverty rate is that enough?

Hello everyone, I’m planning to get Married to a woman that’s in Nigeria. Since I receive a pension from the military (VA Disability) do I still fill out the I-130 or do I use another document instead?

I was Born in the U.S.

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much so if my child is born, I would have to file that document like you said? How long does this normally take to process?

If my wife becomes pregnant while the I-130 is progressing in Nigeria and she delivers the baby before the the petition is completed, will I have to file additional documents to bring my child over or can the child come with my wife when she comes over when the process is complete?

Yes I receive disability from the Va and I wasn’t getting to prior to 2022 and I was in college so I didn’t meet the requirements for 2 at all. But what I thought I would do is bring in a third person to sign an affidavit of spouse support to help me.

I’m getting married in October and I plan to file the I-130 in November. She is in Nigeria currently and will remain there until she is granted the visa.

Thank you so much and I have another question for you! So one of the requirements says that I have to give a copy of my tax transcripts from the IRS for the last three years. So I’m getting married in October and I plan to come back to the states in November and file. Do you think it’s a good idea if I wait until January 2024 to file since I only started getting my benefits 2022 for example I would have to provide 2023,2022,2021 But I only received them 2023 2022?

If I am a disabled veteran and I receive disability (pension) from the military can that be used as a source of income to file using a i-130 to bring my wife to the U.S?
