IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsstill waiting for interview date
Everything was going so smooth. We got our NOA2 in February. NVC sent us emails letting us know our case was completed on june 17th and they would send another email to let us know when the interview will be. My question is, does it normally take this long to set up the Iinterview? Are we just gettin impatient?

The paper they gave my wife also states they need the original marriage license. ..I sent it to the nvc and my wife saw it there at the interview. So wth do I do about that?

Also, she was issued an "A" number, and instructions to open an ELIS account and pay the $165. Thanks everyone!

So why do they ask for 3 years? And if I'm currently over guidelines in 2013 why does 2012 matter? When we got married in October 2012, the most current year was 2011. But at the time of her interview, 2012 was the most current.. Im so confused lol. Needless to say, 2009-2011 doesnt matter. Current 2013 income doesnt matter. It seems to be the most recent tax income statement at the time of the interview is what does matter. Hope my confusing mess helps someone save some time :)

Well a bit of advice, I came over the poverty line 2009 -2011 but not in 2012. 2013 I sent them pay stubs showing I have a good paying job now. Nvc says we're ok but the interviewing officer says no. So now we're stuck sending in the co-sponsor i864 and waitingfor another interview date. The advice is, get a co-sponsor and save some time. We have been blessed that things have gone rather quickly, but being so close and now this, UGH

My original post should say 2012 taxes not 2013 obviously. But I also sent my 2013 paycheck stubbs from this current year. $800 per week, so im not sure why we need a co-sponsor

When I sent in my 2009-2011 (filed all paperwork before april 15th) they were all over the poverty line. But her interview was yesterday and I had to send her my most current, which was 2012. I missed over 4 minths of work in 2012 and missed the poverty line by a few thousand.

First of all Queen, thank you so much for helping us with this situation. Its very much appreciated! Ok, I emailed my wife my dads completed I-864, the last 3 years tax returns and a copy of his birth certificate. He is self employed business owner so I didn't send a letter. My parents do file jointly, but my mom doesnt work. So is her form necessary?

Yes I have a co-sponsor. Im just confused about what I have him (my dad) do. My wife says to send the information to her. So do I have him fill out an i864 and send it to her with his current 1020 tax form?

Yes you're correct. They are giving her 12 months. So now what do I do? Who do I contact? And how far back will this set us? Thank you

I sent my i864 and it was approved by the nvc because I was over the guidelines. . Then I sent my 2013 taxes to my wife for her interview, I knew it wasn't good enough because of a knee surgery and a 2 month trip for a visit. I missed four months of work in 2012. Sooo, I sent my 2013 pay stubs which are well over guidelines. And still she didn't receive her visa. What now? Co-sponsor? And how do I go about doing that, how much longer will it take? Sorry I'm in panic mode. Thanks

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresPlease Help guys... ds-230 original certs..

I know its been talked about here on vj, but will someone tell me that its ok to send our original marriage certificate and my wife's original birth certificate to the NVC. I do not have original certified copies. They are the original and I'm beyond scared to put these in the mail. It took 3 weeks for me to get these items from my wife through the mail and I really don't want to send them back and get copies and blah blah blah, you get it. thanks for reading guys, this site is amazing.
