Any idea how long it took for the embassy to contact you after NVC sent your petition to them.?
Bjh on 2019-09-19 said:
The embassy sent me an email on the day they received the petition. Took about 2 weeks after the NVC sent the physical petition to the embassy.
Renee Harb on 2019-09-19 said:
Ok, Thanks. I got an email from NVC on Sept 3 saying it’s in transit to the embassy. Still waiting to hear from them. What instructions did you receive from embassy?
Bjh on 2019-09-19 said:
Just how to schedule my fiancée's interview, ASC appointment, what to bring to the interview, etc. You can email your consulate in Lebanon to see whether they've received the application. Usually I would try emailing weekly.
Renee Harb on 2019-09-19 said:
Ok perfect! Thank you so much 😊
Renee Harb on 2019-09-19 said:
Did you send your I 134 affidavit of support to the embassy or your foreign fiancé?
Bjh on 2019-09-19 said:
I sent it to my foreign fiancee along with my most recent tax return for her to bring to the interview.
Renee Harb on 2019-09-19 said:
You didn’t need to supply the last three years of your tax returns? What about your paystub’s? I sent an email to the embassy in Lebanon today so hopefully I’ll hear something soon. The NVC sent it on September 3rd So I’m still waiting
Bjh on 2019-09-20 said:
I actually did send in my IRS transcript which may cover all of that, I can't recall. I also sent in all my paystubs for the last 6 months.
Renee Harb on 2019-09-20 said:
Ok great! Thank you Bjh
Renee Harb on 2019-09-20 said:
One more question.. Why the last 6 months of paystubs?? Did they ask for that?
Bjh on 2019-09-20 said:
They didn't ask for it, but my income on the tax return was a little low on the tax return because my job was started in the middle of the year so I wanted to show how much my true annual income is.
Renee Harb on 2019-09-20 said:
Ahhh ok! Makes sense.
Renee Harb on 2019-09-24 said:
CONGRATULATIONS!!! ðŸ‘😊
Bjh on 2019-09-25 said:
Thank you!

Hi! So I’m still waiting to hear from Beirut Embassy. I’ve been reading about the ceac login and status. What is that exactly? Do I have to login to check if my status is READY? Or do I still have to wait for Embassy to email me?
Bjh on 2019-09-25 said:
It's a tool that lets you 1. Do the DS-160 and 2. Check the status of your petition. If the consulate received the physical petition it will say "READY." Has the NVC given you a case number yet? If so, use that to look up the status of your petition.
Renee Harb on 2019-09-27 said:
Hi! Do you remember what you entered for IV case number when filling out DS 160?

Bjh on 2019-09-27 said:
It was a three-letter acronym followed by some numbers, can't recall exactly how many. I would imagine it's the same for the Beirut embassy.
Renee Harb on 2019-09-27 said:
Are they referring to the NVC number?
Bjh on 2019-09-27 said:
Yes. That's the only case number I recall being part of the ds160.
Renee Harb on 2019-09-27 said:
Ok because my fiancé entered that # but it said error so maybe he needs to pay his fee first 🤷ðŸ»â€â™€ï¸
Bjh on 2019-09-28 said:
Ah, sorry! What I told you before was wrong. You have to enter the receipt number for the petition. It's on the i-797 they send you in the mail to confirm they received the i-129f. Try that.
Renee Harb on 2019-09-28 said:
Ok thank you!
Renee Harb on 2019-10-08 said:
Hi! What bank statement did you send to your fiancé for her interview? Do they want a history of all my transactions??
Bjh on 2019-10-08 said:
I didn't send a bank statement, but if I did I would send the most recent one.
Renee Harb on 2019-10-08 said:
So doesn’t the affidavit of support for k visa require that?
Renee Harb on 2019-10-08 said:
Along with supporting documents like employer statement, w2s, income tax returns??

Bjh on 2019-10-08 said:
If you already have sufficient income you don't have to include it. Sufficient income would be defined as 100% of current poverty guidelines for your family size. You need 125% of current poverty guidelines for your family size for the green card so keep that in mind too.
Renee Harb on 2019-10-08 said:
Yes I do make enough but I thought it’s still required. Can I just send a single paper bank statement that shows my checking account balance and CD balance? My fiancé is in Lebanon and I’m in Ohio so I’m not sure if all rules apply to every consulate
Bjh on 2019-10-09 said:
You can if you want. I've never heard of it being required though.
*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
