Write a letter explaining the situation. I think Mumbai allows you to bring it to the interview. Good luck!

Count 8-11 business days from Thursday and expect to get a LIF by then, barring any RFEs.

The AVR should update by Wednesday.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresLoop hole in i-864 ?
If you didn't produce a joint sponsor but didn't make enough yourself either, his AOS will be denied from what I understand. Or they will RFE you for the I-864. If you choose, don't need to respond to it.

His approval of the I-130 will mean nothing if his AOS is denied.

You REALLY need to find where exactly you are in this process. How about a call to USCIS--ask to speak to a SUPERVISOR not a call center drone.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI-864 for CR1 and CR2
If that is the case that you got RFEd for your daughter's I864 only, then yes, your form is 2, hers is 3 for the household size.
sachinkyFemaleIndia2010-04-12 15:51:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI-864 for CR1 and CR2
Common sense tells me that it would HAVE to be 3, on your daughter's form at least.

1 for your USC husband.
1 because he is married, so you're his spouse.
And for 1 for your daughter that he is also sponsoring on the form.

However, your form would only be 2? Did you get RFEd for both?

Let's wait till someone more knowledgable regarding the AOS comes along 'cause I could be totally off-base here.

As soon as your AOS bill shows as PAID, print out your cover sheet, and overnight your AOS packet!

There is NO need to wait for NVC to send you anything.

Also, the NVC April 2010 thread is a great place for noobs like yourself! Join us there?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresAttorney Dilemma - Your Thoughts...
NVC will not expedite anything.

Why on earth would they expedite for you because of an attorney's mistake?

Once they have received your DS230 RFE, wait 8-11 days for a SIF/CC.

You will get a June interview date.

Good luck! :thumbs:

Please don't scare the OP unnecessarily.

He has done everything according to the law so far.

"Marriage to a tourist visa" is NOT against the law. It is against the law to enter as a tourist with prior intent to get married AND stay via Adjustment of Status.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresTwo I-864 questions
Her address in her home country. That example form is for Adjustment of Status cases.

1 for intending immigrant.
1 for yourself.
0 for spouse even though you're married since she's already counted.
Household size--2.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCO-SPONSOR
Remember, the USC petitioner will file a I-864 regardless of income. If your joint sponsor lives in the same household as the petitioner, then they will use I-864A. If they live in a separate residence, then they will fill in another I-864.
For your joint sponsor you will need proof of their citizenship/residency. For household member, you will need proof of relationship and same household/residence.

They are requesting the AOS package. If you've already sent it in, ignore it.

If not, send it out with the barcoded cover sheet.

So. Just to be clear. If the form 1040 is used, then we use line 22 for the I-864.

If the form 1040EZ is used, we use the AGI.

Yes? Do I understand this correctly?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresPOE?
Your POE is wherever your husband will first enter the U.S. That is, his first port of entry or landing.

You can "select" it by choosing the closest international airport to you and wherever you think it'll be easiest to pick him up from. Buy his plane tickets accordingly.

Plenty of people also land at JFK or EWR, clear customs/immigration and then carry on another domestic flight to Seattle or wherever their significant other's live. In that case, JFK is still their POE.

After sending in all your packagses, wait 8-11 days or so and then try to sign in to the payment portal.

When you're no longer able to sign in, it means that NVC has completed processing your case.

Confirm with the AVR/NVC operator.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresinterview dates
I know a bunch of people who only have 3 weeks notice for the interview.

If you're prepared with your evidence, 3 weeks is enough time to organize everything and get your medical done.

I have about 7 weeks from my date assignment to my actual interview date. It seems like far too much time to me. I'm ready to get this show on the road.

Some consulates also set dates at the end of the month, however, that's usually for the NEXT month.

So interviews set during 26-30 April, will be for early June.

I agree with Push. If your packets have all been sent in, then just produce it at the time of the interview.

If you're still waiting to send in the DS230 packet, then you can add in your joint sponsor's stuff.

1 for petitioner
1 for intending immigrant.
0 for spouse since your spouse IS the intending immigrant.

It tells you in BIG BLACK BOLD letters NOT to count anyone twice.

Funds must be in USD and in a US financial institution if those assets are claimed, from my understanding.

Read the instructions thoroughly. Once, twice, thrice. Interpret literally.

Fill info regarding the beneficiary and the petitioner as and when specified.


Good luck!
