QUOTE (djturbo @ Nov 13 2007, 12:10 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Wait a moment, I know you mean well Stabu but I haven't received my IV DS-230 yet only the IV fee which I paid today. If the IV fee is what we are going with here then ok but I always thought its the IV DS-230 forms its self. Let me know was up guys please. Thank you!

There is a column for Received IV and a separate column for the DS-230 - so not sure what you mean?

Yes, there is no one 'formally' updating this anymore, but you can make the update yourself if you like smile.gif

To update just use Reply on the last posting of the timeline. It will look all wrong in the reply screen - but it will post correctly. The easiest way to update is to copy and paste from another person's timeline who has the next step displayed already.

Also, when you update you need to remove the 'quote' info at the top and the bottom - so the list doesn't end up in a quote box.

Another thing that is helpful, just before you post, at the bottom (above the post button) is a check box that says 'enable signature'. Remove the check from this box so your signature doesn't appear below the table.

QUOTE (dbzman @ Dec 29 2007, 09:29 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
How can I update this list myself? IS there a certain program that you use and then paste into the post?

Thanks!


No program required. To update just find the last posting of the correct timeline. Hit Reply and remove the quote etc above the timeline table, then remove the quote in parentheses at the bottom.

Then you just change your information, it's easier to cut and paste from someone elses dates and then you will have the colors right. When you hit Reply the table will look like a nice jumbled out of line mess - but it should come back in to line when you post. To make sure just use the Preview button to double check.

Also, it's a good idea to remove the check from the "Enable Signature" before you post, so your signature doesn't appear at the end of the table.

That's about it, good luck! Nice that you are going to be doing some updating MrsJibowu smile.gif

Updated natashenika - case complete December 20th

(just a note, remember to remove the quote text from the top and bottom of the table when replying and you might want to do a preview before posting it - to make sure it's lined up smile.gif )

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI am tired
QUOTE (Shamim @ Jan 31 2008, 11:31 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I am tired with the game that the NVC playing with me. First they told me to send DS230-I and passport photocopy, then they sent me a checklist for missing documents, which are birth certificate, marriage certificate and DS230-II. After responding that, while I was waiting for my case to be completed, they have prepared another checklist for missing document which is benificiary's photograph. As soon as I have heard that, I have overnighted it. Now wait another 2-4 weeks to learn some other documents are missing ! What those could be? My wife's bood, flesh, skin.....................


Regarding the photographs for the DS-230, there is a thread about this in the NVC forum, apparently NVC has changed the requirements - but not posted them anywhere:

I think it probably doesn't matter at all. Lots of men don't wear wedding bands.

If USCIS is judging whether a marriage is valid based on a wedding band - well that would just be - strange.

As long as you have lots of primary evidence you should do fine.


What about the USCIS isn't strange? And technically the USCIS won't be doing the interview, the DoS will be at the consulate. At least they are a bit less strange. :/

hehe wink.gif

good point. Upon thinking about this, maybe having a ring is a good idea! There is a person in the Canada forum whose Husband had his interview today, he was sent away as he hadn't brought his work resume' with him.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI864 and Tax filing extension for 2007
QUOTE (sharif @ Feb 7 2008, 09:04 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hi All,
I want to ask to Tax file extension for this year. How is it going to affect the I864? Will they accept my W2 only for this year plus my last 3 years or they want this year filed tax too


From the I-864 - Item 25, page 8:

You must provide either an IRS transcript or a photocopy from your own records of your Federal individual income tax return for the most recent tax year. If you believe additional returns may help you to establish your ability to maintain sufficient income, you may submit transcripts or photocopies of your Federal individual income tax returns for the three most recent years.

From USCIS:

The sponsor must submit with the Form I-864 the sponsor’s U.S. Federal income tax return for the most recent tax year (that is, the completed tax year immediately preceding the date the sponsor signs the Form I-864). USCIS may generally expect a sponsor, after April 15 of any given year (or April 16 or 17, in a year in which April 15 is on a Saturday or Sunday), to have completed his or her tax return for the previous year. If the sponsor requested an extension, the sponsor should provide proof of filing for the extension. If the sponsor did not file a tax return, the sponsor must prove that he or she was not required to file. If a sponsor should have filed, the sponsor must file retroactively and provide proof of filing. Note that U.S. citizens generally have an obligation to file a tax return on non-U.S. earnings even if there was no tax liability.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresOriginal Marriage Certificate Insufficient but Already filed I-130 - Remarrying soon. What to do next?
My personal opinion is that you need to call the USCIS, or make an info pass and go and see them (if you are in the U.S.).

I understand your hesitancy in calling them - "hi this is - you - and our marriage certificate is not valid, in fact legally we aren't really married, what should we do'?

But - by not contacting them you are just asking for more problems, I think - you need to contact them and give them the facts.

You will get married - then what - you show up at the interview with a completely different marriage certificate or you submit it to NVC where it sits on someones desk because they aren't sure what to do with it either.

It will probably work out one of 2 ways, they will either tell you to cancel the petition and start over or they will allow you to submit the new marriage certificate - but you won't know until you contact them.

Good luck good.gif

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCan wife visit here on a visitor's visa while I-130 pending?
This is what the U.S. Consulate in Canada has to say on this subject:

Entry to the U.S. while Petition is Pending

After filing the petition, your relative normally would not be admissible to the U.S.; however the CBP inspector at the port-of-entry has the final say. To be eligible to enter your relative must assure the inspector that the visit is temporary and that she or he will depart the U.S. after the proposed visit and wait out the processing period for the immigrant visa in Canada or a third country.

While Canadians don't require a visa, basically they are using the same criteria. Sometimes they are let in, sometimes they are not - the benefit we have is that we don't have to actually pay to find that out.

Write whatever is true.

You will be asked for this same information on the DS-230 (employment history).

3. Applicant's last address outside the US of more than one year: should I write there the address where I lived before I came to this country 10 yrs ago?


Write "none". What the form really meant was " Applicant's last address outside the US of more than one year in the last 5 years". I came to this country in 1986 and "technically", I should write my last address outside the US. But I wrote "none" and my application was approved.


I don't read this question as only applying to the last 5 years. They are asking for your last address outside the United States - regardless of time period.

If they were only referring to the last 5 years - then the field before it "Applicant's residence last five years. List present address first" - would cover it.

Anyway, we entered the last address outside the U.S..

Thanks trailmix for the info. I do have another question about the DS-3032. In using James' Shortcuts, I understand my wife, the beneficiary, has to fill it out and sign it. This may be a stupid question, but I'm assuming she would put her address in her foreign country and not mine in the states (we are not using a lawyer). Is this correct? My only concern is where NVC is going to send IV fee bill, as that is the only thing that we can not have already completed beforehand. If it is sent to her country, then that would definitely slow things down. And who sends the fee? The petitioner or the beneficiary? The the foreign consulate receive the fee or NVC for $355? I hope I'm not confusing things too much.


As the previous poster mentioned, you can make yourself the agent, then everything will be sent to your address (including the bills).

NVC gets the $355 (plus the $45 security fee - so that particular bill is $ 400)

Immigrant visa application processing fee (per person), Form DS-230 : $355.00
Immigrant visa security surcharge, for all IV and DV applicants: $45.00
Affidavit of Support Review (only when AOS is reviewed domestically), Form I-864 : $70.00

I just received my NOA2 yesterday from USCIS. Now its time to deal with the NVC good.gif . I've read James Shortcuts and it seems pretty straight forward. However, is there an updated DS-3032 form? The only one I can see shows a date of 12/2006.

That is the most current form, so yes, you can use that one - you can always check the link below for the latest copy of each form, it's a good idea:

http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/forms/forms_1342.html

Also, is the I-864 fee bill $70 or has that changed?

It's still $ 70.00 for the affidavit for support fee bill. That information can be found here: link

From that page:

Is there a fee I will need to pay for the Affidavit of Support forms?

Yes, there is a $70 fee for reviewing each of the Affidavit of Support (AOS) forms I-864, I-864A, I-864W and I-864EZ when the AOS form(s) is filed domestically in the U.S. See our list of Fees.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresOriginal Birth Certificate for NVC and INTERVIEW?
QUOTE (S_AL_ @ Feb 14 2008, 10:25 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hi Everyone!

Trying to go fast track here. Meeting with my husband (USC) due next month inshaAllaah and I am making sure that he has all the documents for the NVC from my side to avoid the mailing time. I have an original birth certificate issued by Karachi Metropolitan Corporation or KMC (was issued back in 1983). Now I am trying to track them down as I have been told that we would need my original Birth Certificate for both NVC and the Interview at the Embassy. Is this true? Also, who is entitled to issue a 'Certified Copy' of it...or Should I try to make a duplicate of the Birth certificate? ---Please advice.

I will really appreciate your help.


When they say 'certified copy', in the instructions, they mean a copy from the 'issuing authority' - so basically what they are saying is that they want an original.

All of the documents you submit to NVC are forwarded to your Embassy/Consulate. You should only need one copy - the copy you send to the NVC, they should return this to you at the interview.

Hi whitesnail,

I wouldn't worry about it at all. You did all the right things, checking the online instructions before sending. I'm sure they will allow a grace period for people who submit without copies anyway.

I am really so confuse not with all this "Does" and "Don't Does". Wonder what is really true.


I think they want the photocopies to accompany the originals.

If I were sending my DS-230 today I would send a set of photocopies with it.

I don't think they are going to send it back to you if you don't send the photocopy as well, but I just wouldn't want to annoy the person at NVC smile.gif

ALRIGHT!! UPDATE!!

I just spoke a Live Operator @ NVC..

They said nothing has changed... They still need Original documents no copies attached..

The comment was meant for people that has no English translated Documents.. They are indeed need of a copy of the document translated in English.


Roserick, I think the operator was wrong. I would recommend that you send a photocopy of each document as well.

You can't always rely on the operators to have the most up to date information.

Did anyone else notice this?

Under Document Requirements it says:
In addition to sending the original documents or certified copies of the documents to the NVC, the applicant and each accompanying family member must submit a photocopy of the original documents or certified copies of the documents.

But under Getting the applicant’s documents back, it says:

Note: Only one original or certified copy of each document must be submitted with the visa application. huh.gif



No need to call Roserick, unless you really want to.

These two statements are not mutually exclusive.

I think there is some confusion about certified copy vs photocopy.

What they are saying:

1. They want the original OR certified copy of each document, which is basically the same thing and also nothing new.

2. Include a Photocopy of each document. *this is the new part

From what I heard from other people's Interview experience..

It really depends on the Consul.. Some might ask you for it, some might not..

Majority of the time, what they really need is proof of bona fide relationship/marriage.. (Pictures, letters, etc..)

But like what rjp44 said.. You don't want to risk your case of getting AR and the consul having you to comeback to submit documents..

Its always good to be prepared...


Hi Roserick,

Good point, you should always look for posts from people who have gone through your same embassy/consulate to see what 'really' happens at the interview. good.gif

This is what I see on the Manila site:

Applicants must submit application documents to NVC to be documentarily qualified for the visa interview. Unless all requirements are submitted, the Embassy cannot process a visa application to completion. Be mindful of the expiration dates of the required documents, and bring updated ones to the interview if necessary.

I think maybe they are talking about 2 different things, perhaps Direct Consular Filing vs NVC processing?

- I'm not saying you shouldn't, I'm just thinking that for some people the added expense of getting more originals, when not required, might be a waste of money.

I just looked at the USCIS site and the rules have indeed changed. For all embassies whose appointments are set by the NVC they now require the original or certified copy of the requested information and a copy of each. It seems silly to take a chance on getting an RFE when it doesn't take long to copy a few sheets. Also get an extra original birth certificate, marriage cert. and police report because you will need onother set of originals and copies at the interview.


Hmm, you should not need an additional original for the interview. NVC should forward your originals to the consulate/embassy and they should return them to you at the interview.

Did you read this or hear this somewhere?

Yes, ideally everyone will follow the instructions on the DS-230 package. I was just thinking that this might be an important piece of info for people who have already checked the DS-230 application processing site and think they have everything in order and don't know they now need to send photocopies as well.

Aside from all that - the DS-230 package just directs you to the web page for details anyway.

Thank you all for you input. Should I take it that I should indeed send duplicates (one original or cerified and one photocopy) of the documents to NVC, per website request or I am still totally reading it wrong?


No, you are reading it right dave. Looks like they now require you to photocopy each original/certified document and send it in as well.

As Diana mentioned, guess they are going to save some of their own paper now!

Maybe this will speed things up as they won't be photocopying tongue_ss.gif

Usually, it is applicable for visa interview. When the visa applicant goes for the interview, he/she needs to take original and one photocopy of original. The Embassy usually keeps the photocopy and returns the originals, but they may choose to keep originals as well. But if the visa applicant needs to submit all documents to NVC, he/she should follow what NVC instructs.


Yes, but I'm not talking about Standard processing or the Embassy/consulate. This is new on the DS-230 instructions site for consulates that have Appointment processing:

Appointment NVC Processing

Document Requirements

The applicant and each family member who will accompany the applicant to the United States will need to submit the following original documents or certified copies of the documents listed in this section from an appropriate authority (the issuing entity). In addition to sending the original documents or certified copies of the documents to the NVC, the applicant and each accompanying family member must submit a photocopy of the original documents or certified copies of the documents.

Does this mean we have to send duplicates? The first and second statement sound redundant to me tongue.gif


So apparently NVC's photocopier is on the blitz and they now want a photocopy of everything submitted with the DS-230 as well?

To be safe I would bring everything with you. I got asked at my interview for forms that they already had in their possession.


It does make sense to bring a copy of the forms, the I-864, DS-230 - however did you bring an additional original of your Birth certificate and Marriage Certificate?

Also, as a K1 you weren't required to send those originals to NVC?

Please note that even though the applicant may have provided the NVC with a copy of a document,the applicant is still required to bring the original document to the visa interview.

For the line above, the way I read it is that if you sent a 'copy' of something to the NVC you need to bring the original with you, for instance your passport, where you would have sent a copy of the biographic page.

My understanding is that they will return the originals you sent to NVC to you at the interview.

Hi,

You must send originals - when they say 'certified copies' they also state from the 'issuing authority'. To most of us that is one and the same thing.

They don't want a notarized copy etc, they want the document that is issued by the Government or the Court etc.

Hello vj people..I am going to send the DS-230 next week and the NVC just give us the link or the website to read for the instructions and the documents to be submitted together with the DS-230. And I have read from the other posts of the vj users that they mention about OF-169 together with their DS-230 package but for us, the NVC just give us the website/link to read and told us to send back the paper they send us with the barcode and the documents they will need. But in my reading from the website that NVC gives, OF-169 is not mention. But i researched about the OF-169, and I read about photographs. But I do not fully understand it. Do you think I need to send the OF-169? What is the purpose of the OF-169? And do i need to send together with my DS-230 a photograph specified in the OF-169?

Thanks a lot..


DS-2001 Notice of Applicant Rediness (Formerly OF-169) - don't worry about this, doesn't apply to you.

Do send in two U.S. passport size photos, this is a new requirement of the DS-230 and may not be posted on their website.

I got both my original marriage cert and birth cert back at the interview. My husband had sent in a photocopy of his divorce papers, and we didn't get those back.


Husband received his passport/visa in the mail yesterday - and the sealed brown envelope to present at the border. No additional originals were included. So unless they return them when they open that envelope at the border, guess they aren't going to.

I'm going to email the Montreal consulate to inquire.

I just went through the documents my Husband received back at his interview on Tuesday. Basically we submitted 3 originals to NVC. Our marriage certificate, my Husband's birth certificate and my divorce certificate.

Of these three originals we got 1 back - his birth certificate.

They gave us back a photo copy of our marriage certificate and nada on the divorce certificate, although the interviewer mentioned to him that they would send the copy of the divorce certificate back with his visa/passport (Husband says it was a photocopy as well, not the original).

So anyway, just wanted to let you know that you won't necessarily get your originals back!

This is the core issue about giving up original civil documents...and the consequences if the NVC looses something like a marriage certificate. I'm sure if they do loose something it's just tough luck as far as they're concerned. It makes much more sense to have the beneficiary bring the docs to the interview as was previously done.

I just heard on CNN a few weeks ago that the USCIS lost 115,000 applications for citizenship back in 2006! I don't trust these people.


I agree, they should be produced at the interview instead of mailing them to NVC.

We never got anything back, not fromt he embassy nor from the Immigration officer at POE. We really didn't care because some documents had an expiration date of 1 year and the others are pretty easy to get copies of.

Diana


Yeah, I'm not really worried about it, we can get copies of those two anytime - I know that some send their precious originals though and also ones that are hard to get from their countries.

I'm glad we did get my Husband's birth certificate back though as he is Australian so it's more of a hassle to obtain than the others.
