Hey himanshu, I have a somewhat similar case to yours, in that my wife's the petitioner, I'm the applicant, and she lives with me abroad, and so her uncle (no joke) will be financially sponsoring me.
As far as AOS is concerned you need to file two I-864 forms, one by your wife and the other by your wife's uncle. The both need to put themselves down as Joint Sponsors; hers will have little or no income, while his will be a full-fledged version of that.
That's as much as I know, so I hope it did shed some light for you.

No, they don't need to be, as long as your husband can prove that his current income is above the poverty level. I only had 4k-5k of income in 2011-2013, but my AOS packet got accepted with my current pay stubs, without a joint sponsor.

Yes you did it right.
When you reply INSIDE a quote, you make it very hard for someone to quote you to reply to your question.

You only need to send the tax return transcript. You do not have to send the tax return instead. We used the tax return transcripts and it was fine.

WOW do you realize you are posting in a thread almost 2 years old. Here is the current post. No one is here.

Here is the updated NVC Process for you
http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NVC_Process

We don't need Beneficiary ID any more. That was the old form. Now we just need case number and invoice number. Thats it.

That expiration date isn't for you, it's for the OMB. You can safely keep using this form until USCIS issues a new edition. THERE IS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.

US citizen spouses and children don't immigrate, they simply travel. The answer to both questions is 'no.'

Unfortunately they don't take your email address before your case number is assigned. I would call everyday till get the case number. Good luck!

You would already have the interview date scheduled before they mail the package out (except in some cases for expedites).
As to the point, it's a way to see when your package arrives at the embassy/consulate. There's of course no 100% guarantee to know your package is in there, but it's a fun way to pass the time and to get a good estimate of when your package arrives, if you want/need to know.
But this isn't at all necessary to do, just something fun

you can call, but they also email it to you. I don't think it's on ceac from what I can see.

Whoo hoo!! Good luck on the interview!
I wouldn't call or submit any corrected info right now. If you get an checklist, it might include something else you missed. You should be hearing something soon if your scan date is January 13.
As Saylin says, I wouldn't submit the AOS packet without showing evidence of current income, as you have to include an employment letter or recent paystub with it.

You'll either need to find a job and/or find a joint sponsor. Until then, I wouldn't suggest sending in the AOS package as you can't currently financially support the immigrant.

actually it means both. just depends on which process you are going through and where in the process you are..
in this thread, AOS means affidavit of support, like others have suggested

Your welcome.
Once your I-130 has been approved from USCIS, it will be sent to NVC (a part of the Department of State). Depending what service center the I-130 is coming from, this can take anywhere from a few business days to a few weeks. You may or may not get an email from USCIS/update on their website stating when it was sent.
You won't get correspondence from NVC when they receive your case from USCIS. You need to call an operator at NVC to find this out. Once NVC does receive your case, it's currently taking around 3 weeks for a case number to be assigned.
You should read Saylin wiki about NVC process Here
Good luck

if something goes in the packet that supposed to be in there and its missing then your gonna get a checklist and start the 60 days over again... I would wait til you get everything then send it so no worries of a checklist. even if you send everything now and then send it once it comes it will start your 60 days over anyways and there is no guarantee it will marry up with your file.. I think its safe to wait.. just my thought

There are lots of petitioners that reside abroad with the foreign spouse. That in itself isn't grounds for a denial. The US petitioner simply needs to prove their US domicile. If you read the NVC wiki I wrote, I provide a long list of ideas for proof.
The DS-261 is a moot form if NVC has both your email addresses. All correspondence is sent by email if they have your email addresses. There's nothing for you to worry about.

Well, it's that time of the month. The new monthly thread, for March, has been posted: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/538656-nvc-filers-march-2015/
For those that don't know, every month, we ALL move to the current month, now March. This isn't like the I-130 filer threads where you stay in the same group the entire time. We move each month. Within a day or so, this thread will be closed, so no further comments will be allowed. So, save time by switching to the new thread now
Thanks, and good luck to all in the new up-coming month!

Here ya go:

Hi everyone!

So, back when I was waiting for my interview, I was looking around here for pictures of the consulate, specifically a drawing of the inside, so I would know what to expect. Well, all I found was this old thread with pictures of the outside (http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/103460-montreal-united-states-embassy/ ). Then, last April (2011), when I went to pick up my medical results at Medisys, I decided to stop by the consulate to see it for myself as well as take a few pictures on my smartphone (blog post with pictures here: http://journeythroughimmigration.blogspot.com/2011/04/us-consulate-in-montreal.html )

Recently, a VJ member has been messaging me about where to line up exactly outside for the interview. So, I decided it was time to get out Paint ( ) and have some fun. I took three pictures and put in some markings of exactly where to stand for the line outside the consulate. I then hand-drew some pictures of the INSIDE of the consulate. That blog post can be found here: http://journeythroughimmigration.blogspot.com/2012/03/consulate-maps.html

And for those of you that are lazy () and don't want to click the last link, I'll post the maps/drawings here:



The main street (running ~ north/south) is Rene Levesque. They have doors on that side, but those aren't the ones you want. On Saint Alexandre (running ~ west/east) are the doors where you want to line up. The 1 is where the first person would be, 2 where the second person would be, 3 where the third person would be, etc. So, when facing the doors, the line extends to the left.




A closer view of the consulate. Again, 1 is where the first person is, 2 where the second person, etc etc.




Front view. Numbers again are for the line, leading off to the left. Stand as close as possible to 1 and the doors.




This is the first part of the consulate, entering through the doors at 1. You then move through a security checkpoint and through a scanner, at 2. You're then directed down a long staircase, at 3. You arrive in a large room, at 4, with a telephone, picture booth, and lots of chairs surrounding the elevator. At 5 is the elevator. When you enter, stand at the far left corner, marked by the X.




View of top floor where the documents are handed in and interview takes place. You enter by the elevator at 1. The secretary is there to greet you and show you where to line up (follow red arrows). At 2, you'll one by one go up to a window where you get a number (C1 means you're first). EDIT 4/27/15: I have just heard that you don't go to spot 2 anymore. You get your number right at the secretary's desk when you get off the elevator. You then sit down in one of the chairs. At 3, you hand in all documents (AOS package, certificates, medical results, etc). You also get your fingerprints done here. After sitting back down, you'll then be called to one of the interview rooms at 4. Once all finished, you leave back through the elevator and out the consulate.

P.S. I was going to include ALL the pictures (including the ones I found and took) in this one post, but apparently there's a maximum of 5 photos per post So, if you want to see the others, you'll have to click on the above links


Anyways, that's all folks! Hope this post (specifically the hand-drawn pictures) helps those going to have interviews in Montreal.
