Quick update--- i sent my DS230 pkg today. J. Desmond and the NVC should receive it tom by 10:00a.m. and then the dreaded wait for RFE's

CONGRATS SACHINKY!!!! After a long wait at NVC, you must be relieved. I wish you all the best and please don't forget about us because your support and help have been amazing.

Hi everyone! just catching up on reading the posts. Sachinky, I can't believe that your case is still incomplete and I have not filed my 2009 taxes as yet because of fear. Jujuswife, I am still waiting on stuff from my spouse but we decided to do the medical next week.I emailed the local consulate and they sent me the medical forms which I promptly forwarded to my wife. Scott, I love how things are moving well for you.

hi guys! Congrats to all those who have been approved. I have a quick question, is the NVC case number the same one used when your case reaches the consulate? or are you assigned a new case number when it leaves the NVC?

ok, I'm taking a breather from this place. I am obsessed with VJ so I'll see how long many days I could go without logging on. Good luck to those who are waiting for CC and those responding to RFE's.

omg!! Congrats Scott and Yohino, 2 in one day. I am sure we'll have a few more before the day is over.

Hi Folks! Just getting caught up with reading all the posts. I am scared now for a RFE for my AOS. I sent in W2's from 2006, 07, 08, and 09. Tax returns for 06,07,08 and a job letter. I listed my income as that of the W2 for 09 not 08. Did I make a mistake?? HELP!

Sachinky,

I am religious and there is no way in hell that your case will not be complete this week. It's long overdue, I would be cranky as well.

If my stubborn but beautiful spouse looked about her PCC when I asked her to, I would have mailed in both the AOS pkg and the DS-230 but noooooo, she didn't believe things would move so quickly.

Germany allows walk-in exams, the results must not be more than 6 months old to be valid.

incredible! so you just download the forms and take it to the embassy doctor? I need to find out if the allow walk-ins in Aruba. Just one more thing to get out the way.

Can still sign in.

Grr.

I think I'll make The Husband call NVC and speak to an operator once he wakes up.

they update periodically during the day so until your husband wakes up, I would check on the hour every hour

My wife has scheduled her medical for this Thursday.

She did? can you schedule your medical before the package is sent to the consulate?

I'm glad you guys are thinking positive. I haven't submitted all my documents as yet, I just mailed my AOS package on Sat, shld arrive by 10:00a.m. Monday by fedex. So this week I will be just supporting those who are waiting for their cases to be complete by the NVC.

I'm going to call tomorrow to the american consul cause i was talk that the petitioner was not necessary.... now i'm confussed

I don't think it's necessary in any country for the petitioner to be there. Remember, it's not the petitioner who is applying for the immigrant visa, it's the beneficiary. For an embassy to expect a person who is domiciled in the USA to leave their work and daily routine just to attend an interview for another person is ridiculous. I'm only going because I want to, not because I have to.

I want to go to the interview. My main reason is it's in Caracas, Venezuela and neither one of us have been there. So, I think it's best for both of us to try and navigate through a new place together.

btw Mrs. Wife, I believe early next week your case will be complete. It's just going to be hell waiting for Monday to come. But at least we are here on VJ for support, so stop the crying

Jaxson--PM/Contant member Pushbrk for fancy questions regarding taxes and the I864.

thanks Sachinky.

I woke up and first thing I did was sign in!!! Arghhhhh!!!

I feel so hopeless and discouraged!!! I don't understand why we are so unfortunate with NVC.

We are here since February for God's sake!!!

I'm starting to think that it's more likely to get an RFE than a LIF next week for me.

:crying:

Whatever is on your tax return, the exact number.

oh ok, thanks I am heading to fedex right now but I take a lot of deductions like charitable expenses, property taxes, and rental property expenses. These deductions decreases my taxable income but the gross income is the amount I actually made.

For the I-864, are they looking for gross income on your taxes or the taxable income?

yeah now i am worried that i NEED an employment letter, but that could take a few extra days etc.... found this though.

so there is a chance they will request those things! eeeep!!

@ jaxson: hmmm intersting....should i try to send the ds230 copies with this Aos...???

"What income documentation is required?

With their Form I-864, the sponsor is required to submit an IRS transcript or photocopy of only the most recent Federal income tax return. However, the sponsor may, at his or her option, submit Federal income tax returns for the three most recent years if the sponsor believes these additional tax returns may help establish the sponsor's ability to maintain his or her household income at the applicable threshold set forth in the poverty guidelines. The consular officer will determine whether the income stated by the sponsor and documented in the tax return and any other evidence meets the poverty guidelines in effect as of the time of the I-864 was filed with the National Visa Center, the U.S. embassy or consulate. If the income stated by the sponsor does not meet the poverty guidelines then the consular officer may request the sponsor may submit current year income information for additional evidence to reach a determination. If the sponsor is relying on income from any household member or dependents to reach the minimum income requirement, an IRS-issued transcript or a copy of each individual's most recent tax return is also required, and each person must complete a Form I-864A, Contract Between Sponsor and Household member. The consular officer may ask for additional income documentation, such as employment letter. "

Have they generated a bill for the IV? They did not email me notification, I just kept checking on the AOS and I saw that the IV invoice was there. I would send it only if you paid both but your timeline doesn't show that you paid the IV bill. I really wonder why they keep RFEing people, as a precaution I would send everything I can. For me, I am just sending my tax transcripts and w2s and an employment letter...I get paid weekly, I can't be bothered to print out 26 weeks worth of paystubs.

You can now add me to this list WOOT!

incredible!!! welcome

Hi VJ'ers,

I just got off the phone with a very nice operator. My AOS has finally showed paid and I wanted to make sure that what I had is sufficient and she said yes. Only w2's and tax transcripts plus cover sheet. Then she asked me why I wasn't sending in the DS-230 as well? I told her because it doesn't show paid but she said I could use the same cover sheet for the AOS. I've never heard that before, anyhow I am still waiting for the police certificate from my wife.

Morning everyone..

Hoping and prayin for many LIF and CC today!

good luck to all of us

Is your AOS still showing in process at the NVC website?

Here I am, still checking the site, still reading up on the progress of others. I can't stay away, I'm sick.....I need help!!!!!!!!!!!!

I WILL TAKE THE FIRST OPTION IS A DEAD HUMAN..

I MAKE A FULL COLOR COPY OF THE PASSPORT NOT BLACK AND WHITE..COLORRRRRRR COPY.....IT DOES NOT MATTER ANYMORE.. I AM WRITING THE STATEMENT..WITH COPIES OF EVERYTHING. VISA.STAMPS. FIRST PAGE OF MY OLD PASSPORT.ETC. MY HUSBAND WILL SEND IT ON THIS SATURDAY OR MONDAY..

Good luck! I hate how they are holding things up for you, to me it's not necessary. I think I need to stay away from this place for a little bit. I do find myself so emotionally attached to you guys. Right now I am waiting for my payment status to show paid so I could send the stupid AOS and IV documents.

Damn, folks. My broadband was down for 12 hours, driving me insane.

Firstly, I'm so so sorry about your RFE, Estrella. I hope you're able to get it out soon.

Tharnsur--So we're not quite sure if it's an RFE or not, yet?

Same with SJ?

I can still sign in. Grrr. My AVR has not been updated since February 24. It still says they mailed out the RFE which worries me. However, our AOS package too was never inputted and we got the RFE straight up. I was told by the operator it was in the system the day before the RFE. Another operator told my husband that they had infact received our RFE and it was being processed since Friday. I don't know what is taking them so long! Add the amounts and see that it corresponds to the assets listed on the form! That's it and then complete our case for the love of God!

GAH. I was hoping to log into VJ and see wonderful news. But I guess it was not to be. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for all of you. I think we can all relax a bit now, doesn't matter if we get our SIF today or tomorrow. We're not making this round of scheduling. Breaks my heart, it does. But what are we gonna do about it?

Let's hope Thursday brings us some comfort.

there you are! you know if we don't read your posts for 8hrs or more, we panic. I have a feeling you'll fail log in by tomorrow.

that is so discouraging. There is no method to the madness of the NVC. Some people go through with smooth sailing while others have so much hiccups.
