Just called up NVC expecting to get a Case Complete since I mailed the new forms (checklist) April 30. But the lady told me they haven't touched them yet but they will be reviewed soon. Hope no more checklist for me.

I just talked to Gus and as expected same old BS. He's very nice though. He apologized for the delay and called/addressed me by my nickname. Cool! All we can do right now is to wait some more... And more.

We need to know how soon can USCIS provide NVC the procedures on how to review this new form... Haven't call NVC this week nor call USCIS. So frustrating. I should be one of those getting interview dates for July. :(

"We received an updated edition of the form I-864, Affidavit Of Support, Under Section 213A of the Act. The National Visa Center's processing procedures for the revised form are currently being developed. Once this process is complete all documentation received will be reviewed. The (PTR/AOR/Agent) will be provided with further instructions."

Got this message this morning as a respond to my email inquiry. I think we got no choice but to wait. Exactly a month since I mailed the updated AOS.

Just done calling NVC and still no luck. They are still saying everything is still put on hold. Haven't started reviewing any of those new forms yet. It's been almost a month since I mailed it.

Ok. I just called NVC again and as usual the lady told me to wait coz they haven't received the instructions on how to review the new form. She said it is still under develop and can't say any timeframe on when they can start reviewing the new I-864. She gave me the USCIS # 800-375-5283 to call with regards to the new form. Obviously, the lady I talked to 2 days ago was wrong when she confirmed that the review on the new form have been started. I think my hope of getting a July interview is near to imposible already. July interview for Philippines' applicants will be out next week.

Ah ok. Coz I used the new form... and now my AOS are put on hold because NVC is still waiting for the procedure on how to handle this new form. And they can't give me a date on when it might be reviewed...

Who else sent their AOS and IV packets together (two enveloped inside a bigger envelope)? I sent mine together and got IV accepted after 9 business day. AOS still not accepted and tomorrow will be 12th business day.
I'm just worried the AOS packet got lost somewhere :/ (I know, I'm being crazy paranoid..)


Did you use the new I-864 form or the older version?

Do you know why they asked you to submit a new form? The USCIS website states the old ones are valid until June 23...


General Instructions
[x] This form must be completed by typewriter or in blue or black ink.
[x] You will need to complete and submit the new form completely filled out (all pages required), which includes
the changes noted below. Submitting single pages of the form with the correction is not acceptable. In order
to make corrections you will need to download a new form at www.ImmigrantVisas.state.gov. Part 6 Sponsor's Income and Employment
[x] Petitioner's income indicated on the I-864 Part 25 does not correspond to the amount shown on the most recent Federal tax return and W-2's.

That's the checklist I got...

Called NVC today to inquire about my parents' cases. Checklist submitted on the 30th of April, asking for the new form I-864 (part 5). Hoping to get a case complete today... But unfortunately the lady told me that AOS are put on hold since it's a new form and they are still waiting for the new procedure in handling this new I-864.

Anyone in here who got case complete that used the new I-864 form?

Got a checklist!!! Because of police certificate amendments. Hate it!!! Dont understand why it is not in the instructions that it should be. If I knew it I should have done it before sending the IV package!! Grrrr What a waste of time!! Please Lord give me more patience...just venting fellow vjers.:)


Hello. What's wrong with the NBI clearance you submitted? My IVs haven't been reviewed yet. Just curious what's wrong...

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - April 2013

I know according to the instructions you must fill out all but in this case it said......part 25 this is where you write all your hubby previous taxes return (2012 2011 2010) it doesn't match up with his w-2.  Here the confuse part of w-2 is if he enroll in company 401K, you must report the actual wages after 401K. On W-2 will shown 2 incomes one of them is your hubby actual making and one he actual bring home after 401K.
 
I don't think they complaints about the zero here but what you actual reported on your AOS.


I thought Part 25 is referring to the petitioner's income and not household income that's why I put $0.00.

Anybody in here who file taxes jointly and is the petitioner who is unemployed/homemaker for years (2010-2012)? What did you put on Part 25? I just wanna make sure I did it right before mailing the AOS tomorrow. Thanks...

So you have mentioned your husband's income in #24 b and filled I864A by your husband? But I'm not so sure about I864A coz you filled taxes jointly.


Yes, I mentioned on #24b & c my husband's annual income based on his current employment letter. Did you use the new forms?

akiFemalePhilippines2013-04-29 21:49:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - April 2013

I am unemployed since march 2013 so i filled #25. Only I left blank were 23, 24 a and 24 c cause I checked unemployed in 22 just like you did. so you are petitioner or benificiary?


I'm the petitioner. We filed our taxes jointly and the W2's are my husband's. I hope I did right putting $0.00 on those 3 lines in #25. Btw, I was required to use the new form I-864.

akiFemalePhilippines2013-04-29 21:24:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - April 2013

Hmm.....the last check on the list stating.......part 25 didn't corresponded to the most recent federal tax return and w-2.  That's strange you said you were unemployed and I assume for the whole 2012? or just part? but it really doesn't matter at this point if you put a ZERO or not on part 25. If you check unemployed, obvious you makes ZERO and did you submit your most recent w-2? that would throw off the whole thing and confuse the person whom reviewing your case.  It very simple process, so either you unemployed submit nothing but I-864 and the rest is coming from your sponsor or you're currently employed + all the documents required, if you have co-sponsor than his too.


I left that blank. Coz I checked unemployed, so I thought It's ok to leave them blank. My husband is the one working. And what I submitted were all W2's of hubby and our joint tax papers (transcripts from IRS). I don't know if I still need to submit cover letter explaining that I am unemployed since 2009.

What did you put on #25? I left that blank that's why we got a checklist. We filed our taxes jointly. I'm unemployed since 2009. I redid the form and put $0.00 on the 3 lines, 2012-2010. I hope I did it right.

I just got a checklist (see below). I didn't put any amount on part 25 of I-864 coz I don't work. Been a fulltime Mom since we have our first born. I think my mistake was, I didn't put $0.0 on the spaces provided. I left them blank. Do you think that's the problem why they are asking for a complete I-864 again? Thanks in advance...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you can only link two cases. Since there's 3 cases involved, need to pay 2 seperate AOS fee.

More than one day from the package arriving in the building or one day once they actually start reviewing? Either way, it's typically yes, longer than a day.



As long as they're in the same manila envelope, it should suffice, yes.


Yes, I will mail them together in one envelope, 2 different folders. Thanks...

Just wondering though if somebody did this before and everything went well.

I was about to mail the IV packet today, but I am not sure if submitting 1 copy of my birth and marriage certificate is enough for both parents' cases. I put a note saying that the certified copies are attached to related case and mentioned the NVC case no. So mom got all the certified ones and dad got the photocopies and the note saying that certified copies are attached to mom's case. Do you think I'm gonna get a checklist for this? Or this will suffice? Thanks in advance...

speaking of medicines, i am taking methotrexate since june for my psoriasis. does this med can take a bad impact on my medical exam and would result for the disapproval of my visa?

---------------

Methotrexate is classified as an antimetabolite drug, which means it is capable of blocking the metabolism of cells. As a result of this effect, it has been found helpful in treating certain diseases associated with abnormally rapid cell growth, such as cancer of the breast and psoriasis.

this really bothers me. crying.gif
