IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI-864 Euro Income
You cannot use your income from Spain to qualify unless this income will continue when you move to the USA... Additionally, some consulates will not count Euro saved in European accounts as assets since they have no ability to verify this amount with European authorities due to the EU privasy restrictions... We ran into this issue even though we have a large amount of assets in Italy... They would not count anything in Italian accounts... The assets had to be in a US account under my (USC) name!!

My husband also was working for a European company and was going to be transferred to the US office once the GC was approved, they also would not count that income since technically it would not continue from the same sourse since in US my husband would be paid by the US branch of the company...

So on paper you can calculate all you want (we did the current exchange rate) but be prepared that they may not consider ANY foreign income or investements... My advice for what it is worth, have a back up plan, either the required amount of assets in a US account (3 years x 125% poverty level or 3 years x the difference in what is earned by your US spouse and the 125%) or have a co-sponsor lined up...

We had to do a lot of scrambling at the last minute as the consulates have become much more stringent on financial support because of the current economic conditions...

I suggest both.

Do the one with 'will be' , include in the I-864 packet set, send it in with the NVC electronic filing thing, now.

Then, have the one with 'has been' available on interview day @ GUZ, with a complete I-864 set - and have her GIVE IT TO THE VO across the window thing - don't give it to the screener prior.

Tell the VO - I've an updated I-864 - here it is. Then Hand it over.

Good Luck !!

That would be suggestion too!!!

I really feel sorry for you. The pettiness in your response is one of a lonely person who pushes people away by "Trying" to show how vastly superior you are, when in reality, all you are demonstrating is your own insecurities. Get a life. I was curious as to how a fellow VJ member was doing and your response was not helpful and therefore considered unwarranted.

or politely ask her via PM? unsure.gif


I didn't consider sending her a PM for the simple reason that she was obviously devestated in the last post I read (in which she had neither a response or a denial).

Because of the fact that a member was so devestated in her last post is EXACTLY WHY you should not be publically calling her out to elaborate on her devestation... Send a PM instead of calling her out... And the personal attacks are very unwarrented. You can easily find a members last posts so if you are really that curious, you can see what she posted recently... No need for her to re-hash her situation to us or anybody!!!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresJoint Sponsor I-864, Filing taxes jointly
I know what NVC says, but the 864 is actually adjucated at the Consulate level so what they say goes... And MANY consulates have become stricter on the 864 requirements... Here is what happened recently to my husband...

During his interview at the Naples consulate, my husband was shown a correspondance from the Department of State to US Consulates stating something like "due to current financial events they are requesting that consulates be extra diligent in confirming petitioners still meet income requirements" and it had a list of things for the consulate to check like recent pay verifications, bank accounts, employment validity etc... and it had something about "calculating real value of assets such as house etc" but he did not have a chance to read it all and since that part did not pertain to our situation he did not retain that info... it was in more formal govt mumbo jumbo, but the CO pointed to it and paraphrased that they needed further information. I have read of several RFE's at the consulate level requiring the 864A for the spouse of the co-sponsor...

This document was in a big binder that the CO referred to and was dated from August. Not sure how many consulates are following this advice but better to be safe then sorry.

To the those applying, there is a chance that they will not ask, or that they will RFE for it... Roll the dice or go with the secure route and send it in anyway.... All it costs is time...

FYI, NVC approved all of our stuff without question, it was the consulate that asked for Info... So I would be prepared as there are SEVERAL cases lately where they have requested the 864A for the co-sponsor

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresA few first hand lessons learned with NVC processing....
I would like to add the following tip;

If you are a cronic checker of the website, The IV fee bill will show available to pay in the evening... resist the temptation and DO NOT PAY IT IMMEDIATLY!!! Wait till the following day!!! What happens is that the billing is done by a 3rd party, they post the bill as available for payment in the evening and notify NVC that it has been invoiced... THEN NVC will officially recognize that it has been billed and put it in their system and notify you that it is available... ONCE NVC NOTIFIES YOU THAT IT IS AVAILABLE THEN YOU CAN PAY... Many people have gotten delayed because of falling into this grey area where they paid the bill but NVC did not recoginze it was billed!!! This takes a few days to a week to sort out and many times requires you to send proof that the $$$ was paid... It is not guaranteed this will happen if you pay immediatly, just something that has happened to quite a few people and created drama and lost days!!!

If you have the chance to get the IR1... it is the BEST visa as you get the GC when you enter for 10 YEARS!!! That means you get the SS#, can get the Drivers Licence and work when you enter and NOP ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS... Don't worry bout the other $$$ as the K3 would cost you $1010 plus the filing fees!!!! For 1 month (since your interview is the 22nd of January) without a moment of hesitation I would trade that wait for the IR1... No questions!!!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCanceling K1 and going CR1 Question..
Just as you have the right to post as many questions as much as you want, this IS a private website and everyone has the right to post their answers as many times as they wish too... Are some people here harsh and "pot-stirr-er-uppers", yes, but so are people in the real world.... And there are many people in this world who's sole enjoyment is to ruffle others feathers... and apparantly it worked... But sometimes it gets ya to think... But the basis of the advice was fundamentally sound...

In judging from your past posts (which not know you, that is all I have to go on) I would venture to guess that you tend to be impulsive and impatient. Unfortunatly, those traits are not the most helpful when dealing with the govt. bureaucracy. Immigration is a right, not a privledge and there are checks in place (regardless of how stupid they seem sometimes) that must be followed. Unfortunatly, in this world we live in today, AP is a fact of life, especially for countrys and areas of the world that have had a history of extremists with intent to do harm to Americans. There is no short cuts or ways to rush the system... It is like a flooding river... you try to cross at one street and the road is blocked so you drive to another bridge... but that one is probably blocked too... So you have done a lot of running around and are still on the same side... You have to wait for the water to recede to cross, thats the only solution... So you have to just wait out the AP, whether you do that at the K1 stage or run around and file again the CR1/K3.. you will still be blocked and have to cross the river...

I am glad you have decided to wait it out... But as far as concerns for your child, there are many here who are parents and of course a first thought goes out to the effects of such changes on children, especially when you think of your own and how such a rash move would effect them... I know for many, bringing up this fact was not necessarily to be nosy, but to perhaps bring up an issue you did not give enough thought to? But it seems that your more practical side has won out and that is good. For now, you just have to put on your patience face and wait it out... Sorry, but that is just the facts right now. Its' good to explore your options, however they all seem to lead to the same point right now...

As posted in the other thread... I understand the frustration and wanting to be together... However if there was something (perhaps a name check or other hit) that caused AP for the K1... It will most probably get caught at the CR1, especially givin that the CR1 is an immigrant visa that directly gives the GC upon entry with no AOS...

I would re-think this plan as it is my opinion that as frustrating as this is, there is no "short cut" out of AP... The same things that flagged it now, will flag it then too... Sorry. I say stay the course and let the AP get cleared then you will be here, together and can start out right...

Hi,

How long does it usually take NVC to process it and is there any notification via email in case they need more documents or that it is approved? When I call I just get the answer that nothing is in the system yet.

No, they do not normally send any notification... But if there is an issue, they will contact you with what they need...

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCo-Sponser.......HELP!!!!!
Then yes, you will have a problem. If your mother does not file a tax return, then she does not make enough according to govt standards... It has to be filed for and claimed... Under the table work (which is what that would be considered since she did not claim it) does not count towards actual income for immigration purposes.... If she did not file because she did not earn enough money, then she does not earn enough money to sponsor...

Someone can correct me if I am off-base, but judging by what you have stated, she does not earn enough to be a sponsor... I would search to see if there is anyone else who can sponsor you... You are free to give it a shot, but I would have a back up plan as it sounds like there are a lot of exceptions in there...

After all the work for an expedite, seems like a waste since you would have to re-apply if in the future you want to return to the USA?? Big decision.

Yeah, I called and updated our email addresses with them. The operator said that we'd get the 3032 via email for sure, but she was 50/50 on the pay schedule etc.

So tomorrow I'll get my police certificate and some passport photos and send off the DS-230 packet. Meanwhile, my wife is just waiting for her tax transcripts before she can send in the I-864. I think we're doing everything in the right order, though I'm a little concerned if the AOS fee package doesn't come via email...

Ah well. We're on the right track.

By send off the 230 package, you cannot send it to NVC until the 3032 and the IV fee bill is paid... YOu need the cover sheet for the 230 package to be accepted... Not sure if you meant send it off to the US peititioner or to NVC... DO NOT SEND TO NVC YET!!!!

Hey Wyatt - try calling NVC, yours may be in to..

Congrats... Soon things will start movin for you... Make sure you gave them your e-mail address and keep checking for the AOS fee and 3032

Christeen - I just emailed DS3032 as suggested in Ling_Chi_Shortcut. Actually i used the same format and everything..Remember the draft that I had saved came handy smile.gif

Who... wait-a-minute (sorry couldent help the irony) But seriously.... You jumped the gun here!!!! It is useless to send the 3032 until they have technically "generated it"... It will be ignored unless they are ready to accept it... Just haveing the NVC# is not enough, they have to ask for the documents....

Here is a fourmula I put on a another thread

I posted this in a previous post.... might be of use in keeping things straight! Remember, these are 2 seperate streets that merge in the end!!!

For anyone confused the formula is this
Petitioner = Get NVC # + receive AOS fee bill + pay 70$ online + wait to show paid + print cover sheet + send 854 AOS with all documents and case # written on each page
Benificerary = Get NVC# + receive 3032 + send 3032+ 3032 accepted + IV fee bill available to be paid + pay and wait to show paid + print IV cover sheet + mail 230 package with all original/certified documents
======= wait for case complete + wait for interview to be scheduled

I guess I did jump the gun. So the email that I sent will be ignored?
I gave them my and my wife's email address. Will they notify us by email when DS3032 is generated? Is that when I am to email DS3032?

Yes, it will be ignored and Yes, they will generate an e-mail... Follow the formula and the guides

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI-864EZ QUESTION???
No you did fine, the spouse they are referring to is say if you are sponsoring a child or your mother or sister etc... And you have a spouse already living with you in the household... You can leave it blank, as long as the total is 2 for total household size.

As fas as the income/pay stub issue... If the sponsors income is enough to cover everyone and they have proof of current income (paystubs 6 months and employment letter) then dont worry about the last 3 years... This is if you think it might be questioned if there is enough... However, if they do question it, then you just provide it...

The police certificate that I have is 2 months old, dated Aug/25th. By the time I submit DS-230, it will be over 2 months old from the date issued? Is that a problem? It doesn't have expiration date (which is the case with police certificated issued by Nepal Police).

They are usually good for at the very least 6 months from the date issued so you should be good to go...
