You can start looking for a joint sponsor now and have the new AOS forms and documents ready for mailing to the beneficiary.

Just another person trying to be helpful when they are not, as well know MTL is extremely difficult to get a hold of.  One can try emailing them--Ensure ur case # is in the subject line along with a description of what u need.  And if I was a betting person, they will be closing early on Tuesday!


Well, I'm soooo sorry if your embassy is difficult to deal with. :P

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionSchedule for interview

Hi guys,

received a letter today that I will be having an interview :( there is no schedule yet, but how long does it usually take for them to have a date for my interview? and what documents/evidence should I bring?

I gained my conditional residence through my mom who is married to a US Citizen. I went here in the US by myself, and my mom is still in the Philippines. I THINK that is why they are scheduling me for an interview.

What do you guys think? :help:


Your mom have not entered the US yet?

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionI-751 PART4 INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR CHILDREN

 

Me and my husband are going to file the I-751 to remove my 2 years conditional  status.

There is a section in the form about "INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR CHILDREN".. (list all your children)

 

We dont have children together..but I have 2 kids in the Philippines.

We haven't gotten them yet because we dont have enough money yet.

 

DO WE HAVE TO LIST THEM DOWN?

 

Any reply would be very appreciated.. Thank you so much in advance...

 

God bless!!!...

 

 

 

Yes, you have to list down ALL your children, even if they are from previous relationships and even if they are still in the Philippines.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionThey need second i751 interview.

Nobody can give you a direct advice because you haven't mentioned the specifics about your case.

 

For starters, do you have red flags in your marriage, enumerate the evidences that you've submitted and the questions that you've been asked during the first interview.

 

From those details, someone here can give you concrete advice.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports221g Joint Sponsor

I had my interview last April 18, 2013 and shockingly I was given a 221g form asking for a joint sponsor.
They needed the ff documents:
from a qualified joint sponsor ANYONE
* Affidavit of support with original signture
* U.S Federal income tax return(s) for year(s)
* W2 form(s) for year(s)
* Form 1-864A from joint sponsor and spouse/co-resident with original signatures
* Evidence of U.S citizenship or status as lawful permanent resident
* Evidence of current sustained income


Do you think it's fine if I will be sending them scanned copies only of i-864, i-864a, w2, itr and stuffs? Should my husband needs to fill out another i-1864? because it'll take a week if my husband will send it via mail and I already have my ticket..date of departure will be on May 31, 2013. We're both really worried. I hope to get a fast reply from here. Thank you so much in advance


Scanned copies won't do because it clearly states that original signatures are required. Tell your husband to mail the documents via FedEx or DHL.

Never make flight arrangements until you have the visa on hand. You still have to do the Pre-Departure Orientation Seminar at CFO after you receive your visa and pay the new Immigrant fee of $165 BEFORE flying to the US.

Hi Ryan, is this the number you are referring to?  Preference Classification: 201 B INA SPOUSE OF USC or MSC139***** number?  I dont see any other number on the Form I-797C Notice of Action.

 

Thank you guys

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsis this means my expedite request approved ?
No.

They are telling you to wait 30-60 days for them to arrive at a decision.


apple21FemalePhilippines2013-10-02 04:23:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsPlease allow 30 business days for us to review your documents. Does NVC mean case complete?

Oh I see, not the answer I was hoping for. hehehe

So if Case was completed, they'd send me an email right away? Did they already accept your AOS package?  They will send a case complete status email, but it comes 7 days after the exact date of your case completion (refer to my timeline).

 

Or should I really call? Husband is too busy to wait on a call to NVC.

In case, i just might need to call them from my end--Baguio City, Philippines...  You can call NVC yourself for free over WIFI.  If you have an Android or iOS phone/device, just download the MagicJack app.  That's what I use to make free calls to NVC.  Their lines are open starting 7:30pm up to 11:30am (Philippine time, Monday night until Saturday morning). Just be patient, you might be on hold for 30 minutes. wink.png

 

And Apple21, Just curious on your Timeline--you had an advanced medical exam

before your Case ever got completed?

Are we allowed to do that? Anywhere i can read further about that?  Yes, I did advance medical at St Luke's when I was about to be case completed because I was so worried that I might take the dreaded sputum exam (I had slight pneumonia back in 2009).  In place of the interview letter, I presented the email from NVC that shows my MNL case number.  St Luke's accepted it (that was also the advice given to me by others who have also taken the advance medical).  Fortunately, I passed the medical and got 2 vaccines.  biggrin.png

 

Please advice. Might help to know. Thanks!

You are not yet case complete.

 

It will take 30 business days for NVC to review your documents so you'll have to wait.

Never heard of that! Thank you so much. Do you think the constant calling helped the case along at all?

 

Calling does not help per se, it only alleviates the anxiousness of not knowing what's going on.

 

I rather hear "ma'am you have to give us 20 or 30 business days to review your documents" than not hear anything at all.

My husband did call them. I'm not sure what he asked them though, he said to me that they told him to just wait. Am I able to call the NVC from Australia and find out for myself or does he have be the one to call?

 

You can call NVC yourself.  Be prepared to give your case number.

 

I used to call them everyday for real time updates. laughing.gif

 

If you're using an iOS or Android phone/device, download the MagicJack app so you can call NVC for free over WIFI.

It will take 20-30 business days for NVC to review the AOS and IV package.  So if both packages arrived at NVC on Sept 30th, it may have been entered into their system on Oct 1 so you can expect an email from them probably around Oct 28, or sometimes sooner around the 15th business day (Oct 21).
