Hi all! Sorry to have been such a stranger lately. Hope everyone is hanging in there and making progress. We've had an eventful and extremely busy month. Aldo leaves for his interview at the embassy on Monday--the interview will be on Wednesday. I hope we have everything...I'm so nervous!! Also on Monday, I will be closing on our new house. biggrin.gif I'm so excited!! So I've been crazily packing everything and getting ready to move next weekend. Aldo won't come until April 13th so I've got some time to get things all settled before he gets here. Does anyone have their honey here yet??


Hey I was wondering about you to see if you were still alive lol. Sam's interview is on the 23rd of March and and he gets approved right now we are looking at him traveling here around April 8th with a possible wedding date on May 9th. It's gonna be really difficult for him as he has never been on a plane before let a lone traveled to another country. blink.gif

Hi Guys!

I have question for the Form I-134, affidavit of support. What did you answer to the question below?

Question from I-134 (Affidavit of Support)

11. I intend__ do not intend to make specific contributions to the support of the person(s) named in item 3.
(If you check "intend," indicate the exact nature and duration of the contributions. For example, if you intend to furnish
room and board, state for how long and, if money, state the amount in U.S. dollars and state whether it is to be given in a lump
sum, weekly or monthly, and for how long.


Thanks for reply.


Check the sample form on VJ, it's all there! =)

I don't want to be rude but if you guys listened to the automated message closely and choose the option for K visas you would have been instantly connected with an operator. They don't put the K visas in their automated tracking system so you must speak to a live person no matter what...

For all Sept filers who are now approved and putting together I-134 Affidavit of Support....

I'm interested in knowing what folks are doing for tax returns?
My intent had been to follow the VJ guide, which as far as I can tell says to include the most recent years' tax return. No problem, I have a photocopy of all pages of my 2007 return with 1040+all schedules.

However tonight I saw a discussion about people applying to the IRS to get transcripts of their tax returns. Is that necessary? Are people on this board going to those lengths?


Hi. I can try to answer your question. Tax transcripts are traditionally for people who have lost their tax records. However, in this case, I believe people are using them because they are more official coming directly from the IRS and I believe they are smaller in length. They are also free to request so it wouldn't hurt to get them in my opinion. I have requested some but haven't received them in the mail yet. Once I get them and see what they look like I'll determine which to submit. good.gif

Karri, Let me understand what you are saying. You said the files are electronically sent to the NVC? So, the info. is sent to the US Embassy in Moscow right after it is approved by the US Immigration? Or is there a short delay before shipping to get the NVC approval? Thanks for your help.... blush.gif



I never heard or knew it was sent electronically - Really? Certainly the Embassy receives the originals that were sent in. I am sure of this, but either they dont really look closely or they are somehow missing some documents. I got a request for a translation that was sent in originally, but they said it wasnt. Additionally, they did say the received the original of a document that needed translated. Strange. I would think it cant go to NVC electronically, because everyone is checking the shipment from NVC to Embassy and they did receive originals.


I'm thinking that part of it is electronically submitted and part isn't. Dunno for sure but I can dream can't i? Anything to speed up the process is A ok with me!

I have only moved one space per day this weekend, it is a bummer because we had been moving so quickly for the last week. Thanks again to everyone who has helped me!!!!!



Hi Karri,

How can i know if our documents already in the NVC and sent to Embassy yet? Got approved last January 7 and our NOA2 hardcopy received last January 13.
Will appreciate your reply.
Cheers!


Call the NVC, I'm sure it has been through and out already by now. I heard they receive the files electronically now. Which explains why the lady said she received my case at the end of last week when my NOA2 was. Also, the NVC will send you a letter in the mail stating they have officially sent it to the embassy.

karri-what is this secret way of tracking via dhl that you speak of? please enlighten us!


Haha. Ok here's the info. I got this from the August thread wink.gif

Go here to track packages:

http://www.dhl.com/p.../sref.high.html

Then in the reference number, you have to put EXP 2 JAN 2009A................then change the search dates beginning two days before...then leave the other date the current date. Everyday you can change the date and check after the pick-ups leave the building for the day.......sometimes things that are dated for the day before don't show up until the next day, so you have to play with the dates a bit. (Make sure to put spaces between everything as above and put that "A" after the year)

A list of packages will come up showing all the different countries they are going to.......just try putting in EXP 30 DEC 2008A....with dates between 29 DEC 2008 and 31 DEC 2008......you should see packages that were shipped to many places like Mexico, UK, Ukraine, Thailand, Manila, etc. Then if you scroll down it breaks them down individually and shows you where the package is currently located or if it has made it to the final destination.

The thing is....if you see one to your embassy, you can't be sure that it is yours....since many cases may be going there, but at least it gives you a reason to call and check......

The thing is you have to put in a dated based on when your package was sent, for some reason it's the day before your package is sent... so if they tell you your package was sent on DEC 23, you'd use EXP 22 DEC 2008A and look for your embassy to be listed in there. I don't know why it's so goofy but it is. Once you find the shipment to your embassy you can click it to see more detailed information (just where the shipment is at and where it's been, there is no information directly related to your petition).

Karri - Your tips and tricks will prove useful. Yes, you are right, your positive vibes helped me. Which consulate will Sam go to in India? Delhi,Bby?
Yes Delhi.

Here's the info on NVC they are open from 7:30 am EST to 12 Midnight EST, 603-334-0700 My friend told me to call them when they first open or close for less wait time, but guess what I just called them at 5:!3 pm and only had to wait for one min to speak to someone lol so go figure. They don't have my case yet btw, ugh. I would suggest you wait at least a week after your approval before you contact them. When you follow the prompts on the automated system you'll be connected with an operator. You have to give them the beneficiaries name, and date of birth and the petitioner's name and date of birth.
Questions to ask them:
1) Have you received my case yet? When?
2) If yes, what is the new case #? (this # will stay on the file all the way to the embassy and you need it for Packet 3)
3) Has it left the NVC yet? When?

If they give you a date when it left the NVC I have info on how to potentially track it on the DHL website. Also if you choose not to call them, you can email them instead and they will respond within 2-3 business days. NVCInquiry@state.gov

You will also receive a letter from them when they send it to the Consulate @ Delhi.

My one question is about the NOA 1 and 2- do I need originals or can I send copies?


Do not, I repeat DO NOT send the originals to your SO because if they got lost, it is about $400 to replace. Just send a copy and I think you only need to send a copy of the NOA2 (that applies there was an NOA1) but use your best judgement.

What the h e l l?!?! 90 days? I have never read that on this site before! I asked...even for a K1 visa? and she said yes. Please tell me this isn't true?


That's not true. It will only be a few days up to about two weeks to get there. They send them by the pallet load and ship a bunch at once. I'm gonna call them early next week to check mine.

Did it come by email or postal mail

I am getting really anxious...I need the NOA2 approval soon...

Thanks.


I didn't get a touch, just an approval and speaking of touches, I got another one today! I wonder if they are getting it ready to ship to NVC?

That gave me a tidbit of hope!


One thing I forgot to mention... When he was checking my status, he mentioned that they are currently processing cases BEFORE April 13th. I don't know how that applies to some people but maybe it provides some insight....

I wouldn't lie to ya! But don't shoot the messenger! hehehe Seriously though, that is what he said. He may have just made that date up because he was looking at my info and picked a date a few days after mine.

Look at Igors list. The last approvals have been centered around early mid nov. CSC does tend to go more in order than VSC. If you look at the stats page it seems CSC is doing about 20 a week. Find your place on the list and divide by 20. That should be about how many weeks you have to wait assuming they keep their current rate.


What is the Igors list??? Where can I find it?
