On Sept. 21, 2010, my husband (then fiancé) called me from a pay phone outside the consulate in Juarez. He just had to let me know immediately that his K-1 visa was approved. He came to the US on Oct. 26, 2010 and we were married on Dec 12th. Now, almost 11 years to the day of his K-1 approval, on Sept. 18, 2021 he took the oath to become a US citizen. That was the fastest and easiest part of this whole ordeal. Now we deal with getting the US passport for him and changing his SS status, but we are happy to not have to worry about anything immigration related anymore. 

Husband's ROC approved in 4 months, WOOT!

Sorry I did not gt a notice of your mesage at the beginning of the month. Hope it is not too late to answer it now. Yes, he needs to see a civil surgeon to get the vaccinations transcribed onto an I-693. He only needs the first in a series of any shots for AOS.

Finally mailed off ROC paperwork!

Bring the original to show the employer's signature. Keep a copy for yourself. You can use most recent taxes and employer letter and/or pay stub with year to date income total.

It is advised to have 125%. I honestly do not know if Juarez would accept 100% or not. Everyone I know of has either had at least 125% or a co-sponsor. The co-sponsor needs to supply most recent pay stubs, and/or letter from employer, proof of being a USC or LPR and their most recent tax transcript. If they filed jointly, then they need to include their W-2 to show their individual income.

Waiting for our 2012 tax transcript to arrive so we can send off my husband's ROC paperwork. If they do not arrive this week, I will head over to the local IRS office and pick them up on Monday. I have everything else ready to go. Just need to finalize the cover letter, write the check and mail it.

Yes, you're welcome, and good luck!

Yes, you should both provide your most recent tax return, a complete copy with W-2s and all, if not using an IRS transcript. The co-sponsor needs proof of being a USC or LPR too.

They should pass them out on the plane so you can get it filled out before landing. Then he will give it to the CBP agent at immigration where they will take his sealed envelope and all that. They will take the smaller part of the I-94 and staple it in his passport. Make sure he gets one.

Thanks! Have a lot going on right now, but really hoping to have it all sent out within the next 2 weeks. Unfortunately, we have to send to VSC so we will be waiting about 9-10 months or so.

A co-sponsor can be any USC or LPR that lives anywhere in the US. They just need to have enough to meet the 125% for their own household size plus the beneficiary. Also, you do not have to use the same co-sponsor for AOS as you did for the K-1.

If they sent you a package via DHL, then that would be the visa package. Track it through the usvisa-info.com website and pick it up when it says you can. I am not surprised you do not show up on the Juarez consulate site. This is exactly how it worked for another VJ member, monyfer, back in Sept. 2011. No news but the DHL package. Tracked it, picked it up.. VISA!

I have not had experience with an RFE at the interview, but I would think you can call them to ask about your case status. Was there no information on the 221g paper? You can also try logging into the site where you made the interview appointment if you get a DHL waybill number for your case you should be able to track it: http://usvisa-info.com/en-MX/selfservice/ss_country_welcome

You do not need the NOA2 or letter from the NVC for the interview in Juarez. You DO need the NOA2 when filing for AOS after you get married, so make sure not to lose it. You will need the letter mailed from CDJ for the medical, ASC and interview. It will be sent to the USC and beneficiary. You just need one or the other. I would guess perhaps 3-6 weeks between each arriving.

Yes, he has to include you in his household count since he claimed you as a dependent on his most recent taxes. Since your mom has no income, no need for her to do an I-864A. Just have your dad send a complete copy of his return with all forms, schedules and W-2s to prove it is his individual income being used. He also needs to provide proof of being a USC or LPR.

That is very strange. It even states in the instructions that the I-864 is not used for the K-1 at Juarez. I wonder why they are asking for that one. Perhaps you should contact the consulate, provide all the info about your case and ask why the I-864 would be asked for to get a K-1 visa.

No. You never need your parents birth certificates. You just need your own birth certificate and a copy of it translated into English for AOS.

You are welcome. Good luck!

You do not make an appointment by directly calling the consulate in Juarez. Please read the instructions. See this post: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/402803-ciudad-juarez-consulate/page__view__findpost__p__5854492

The $240 is the visa processing fee. Everyone has to pay it no matter what country they interview in. There are no fees for any of the forms. Yes, after you fill out the DS-260 you need to print out the bar-coded confirmation.

You are welcome!

Yes, the I-134 can only have one co-sponsor, so just pick the one with the most income.

You and your mother will each fill out your own separate I-134 forms and provide the supporting documents along with it. Your mother needs to provide proof of being a US citizen or permanent resident. No co-sponsor statement needed.
