biggish data

The affidavit of support does ask for information about past income but you qualify as sponsor based on your current income. Your full time job sounds like it pays enough to qualify. Self employment income isn't considered income until after it appears on a tax return, so no need to mention that at all as "current income". Sounds like you'll qualify just fine.

Thank you sooooo much!!! I informed my husband and he was VERY happy. We will be mailing off our I-130 documents Monday via priority USPS mail. I am confused as to which documents must be originals and which can be copies. You are very helpful and knowledgeable regarding this matter. Posted Image

Your flag says Nigeria, and your post says Russia. Where will the interview take place?

Current and continuing income is what is measured (unless self employed). Are you a wage/salary earner or self employed?

Thank you for taking interest in my post...... He is Nigerian but currently lives in Russia and has lived there for the past 5 years and we were married there as well. I am currently employed part- time for my self but full time as a executive assistant. I make a great salary!!! I have no assets to claim at this time. Posted Image

I am facing a issue that I desperately need advice on. It seems as though I am unable to sponsor my husband due to my not meeting the $18,912 income for last year. I spent the majority of last year with him in Russia, I just returned to the states in June. I have no one to co-sponsor him with me, if they was to go according to what I am making and what I will bring home this year all would be well. We do not want to wait another year for him to come home. Is there any other programs or ways to sponsor my husband? Is there another route we must take? I am desperately needing advice on this matter. Thanks dearly, Posted Image

@dana and divine . am directing my question to you because you did the same thing am about doing now. what i would like to ask from you is that ,when your petition was approved , i mean the I 130 petition, did they send you form to fill so that the petition package will be send to Nigerian embassy or how did they do it? because already on the I 130 and his biographic form we have filled his current address where he is living presently which is russia, i hope we did not make mistake?

Thank you so much. but i have one problem, my husband is a Nigerian but he is living in Russia. and on the Biographic form and I-130 we put his russian residential address on it and now that you said is advisable that we continue with the CR-1 process, are they going to send the whole package to Russia when the time comes or Nigeria? because my husband have asked from American embassy in Russia and they said that they can only process K3 visa since we had our marriage in Russia and they can't process the CR-1 since my husband is not a citizen or permanent resident. so what do you think we should do ? what about if they send application and the package to Russia then that means we will have problem. what do you think ?

i think they have sent me a notice of transfer to my mail, does this implies an interview ? please explain in details for me

No unless it was transferred to your Local office......

I have seen cases where they were transferred to the local office for an interview

My hubby was not interviewed though

thank you so much , since my husband lives in Russia and not living with me in USA, even though they want interview , he cant do any interview i will have to do it. but in their email , they did not specify any name, they just said they transfered it to another office for processing, does that means there won't be any interview for me since they did not specify any local office? and also they said that they have send me a notice of this transfer, that means i should be expecting it in my mail.thanks

If a interview would be requested from local office it would be to interview you which would not be a good thing. I would not stress so much a transfer dear. Just go with the flow. You could call and ask if there is anyting additional. But I wouldn't worry. But no they would nit be requesting to interview the Beneficiary at this point.

***** They did not made mention of local office in their email. as you have said, i will wait and see if they will send me a mail .thank you so much. i just hope is of good thing

Of course he will have to be interviewed. Did you put the Consuate in Russia as the place to interview or will he be interviewing in Nigeria. You just filed so its just reshuffling work around. You will get regular processing. All they did was transfer your case. You still have some waiting to do than NVC than interview queue. Like another 5 to 8 months of waiting.

We put his address in Russia but I was told that i supposed to put his Nigerian address since his not a citizen of Russia, then he must have his interview in Nigeria and i was told that once they send is approved and the NVC finished theirs also and they send the IV to Moscow , I should contact NVC to change the embassy from Moscow to Lagos and then he can have an interview in Lagos. please is this right ? if not, what should we do. please i will be happy if you can reply

Well i think it has to do with were you reside........ My case was transferred as well from California to Vermont, my hubby resides in Florida, so i think Vermont has jurisdiction over Florida......... I spent 3 months in California before my case was transferred and spent 5months in Vermont........... I also have a friend whose case was transferred today as well from California to Vermont and her hubby stays in Florida too. So your case was transferred to the proper place of filing

@ winnie george, i sent my petitionto chicago locker box before they transfered it to VSC. and my husband is a Nigerian but he lives in Russia. and also I live in Albany,Georgia. I hope they are requiring interview as my husband is not here. also i am a Naval officer. who just finished. does it have anything to do with it ?maybe they have run my database. am just worried.

filinf i 129f

you don't need to pay additional money for filling i 129f , it seems you want to go for K3, this is our plan before to go for K3 but we were advised by members of vj that we should wait for i 130 petition rather than going for k3 since it is almost the same time frame and its better than k3 and it will ease you off the later stress. so i would advise you also to wait, we are in the same category.

Transfer Notice it includes the receipt number, the receipt date, the notice date, my name and address , my husband(beneficiary name) and the case type which is the I 130 and the message said

This is to notify you that we have transferred the above application or petition to the USCIS office at :
USICS NBC. P.O BOX 648005 , Lee's Summit , MO 64064

We transferred this case because the record indicates that office has jurisdiction over the case. that office will notify you of subsequent action taken on this case
please refer to the USCIS processing dates webpage , visa the USCIS home webpage to locate the processing date for the specific service center that you case was transferred to. If the service center is within processing time for your particular application or petition, USCIS cannot provide an update on your case.

my question goes thus ,(1) are they trying to request for an interview ? (2) does it mean we are having problem with our petition ?

i am very worried now. please your reply will be needed.

do not worry many people are getting the same notice and I expect to get one soon. This is normal processing and they are just balancing workloads. Try to relax God willing everything will be ok

thank you so much, when some people said they want interview and i was confused , as my husband is not living in usa , he lives in Russia. how come they will want interview, lol and if is because of the work load, i hope this new place can speed up the process and not more than 5 months.

No, you will have to wait for them to send you a letter of Notice that they have received and also cashed your cheque and its called NO A1. After this, then the waiting game begin till you receive an approval that your petition is ok and that means NOA 2, then they will send it to NVC, that is where all your AOS forms will be needed.Don't forget that this is for CR-1 Spousal Petition
