Just Curious which for people are sending? I-864

Yes, there's a delay right now in NVC processing the new I-864. I sent the new form on May 7 and still has not been processed, as NVC is waiting for Dep't of State to tell them how to process (this is how NVC explained it to me).

Nevertheless, your're right, the old I-864 is expiring on June 24; so if you send the old one in, there's a chance that it is expired by the time NVC is processing it. At that point, you'll have to send in the new form and the rest of your documentation again. OR you take the chance of sending in the old one and perhaps it's processed before expiry, then lucky you!

Thank you CM11 I think I will send in the new one that is what my gut is telling me

Just Curious which for people are sending? I-864

Hello everyone I am just curious which form is people using I am about to send my AOS out and I seen a topic on here that some where panicking about which form to use the old version of the I-864 or the new one? Now I know the old one will be expiring soon I think on the 23rd of this month if I send out the old one next week will there be a chance they will use it? Or should I figure they might not touch it or a person get to it really for a couple of weeks? Just a bit nervous don't want to send out the wrong version and they delay our paperwork? Thank you for any advice it is appreciated.

Hi everyone I want to know if there is and interview fee and also do you have to set up your own interview appointment?

Thank you for your response...

Do you send the original PCC??

all documents are sent to the embassy in the packet

originals go to nvc

if you want any originals back, enclose at least one copy of each and they will be given back at the time of the interview

ok thank you Steve B. I was asking because he said he read it in one of the interviews for Italy I was just hoping he would not have to pay for 2 PCC from both countries because he rides in Italy but he is from Nigeria. Thank you very much and I will make sure we include a copy of the PCC with the IV Packet. Thanks again...

Do you send the original PCC??

Hi I want to ask do you send the original PCC when you recieve it from your spouse to go along with the IV packet?? I ask because my husband read somewhere that he has to have the original PCC when he goes to his interview. Just want some clarity on this. Also if I have to send the original PCC do I also send off a copy of it as well to go along? Thank you in advance.

Since you're sending them to the NVC, and not to the Consulate (which does accept documents in English and Italian), I'm pretty sure they need to be translated.

Anyone fluent in both languages can do it (you or your husband included). Make sure you attach the Certificate by Translator. Copying and pasting from the USCIS website (http://www.uscis.gov...0000ecd190aRCRD):

Please submit certified translations for all foreign language documents. The translator must certify that s/he is competent to translate and that the translation is accurate.

The certification format should include the certifier's name, signature, address, and date of certification. A suggested format is:

Certification by Translator

I [typed name], certify that I am fluent (conversant) in the English and ________ languages, and that the above/attached document is an accurate translation of the document attached entitled ______________________________.

Signature_________________________________
Date Typed Name
Address

Thank you A+J for this, I did call the NVC and they did confirm to me that I did not need it to be translated since it was going to be interviewed in Naples, thanks again

Hi, I sent them to the NVC just like they gave them to me. Both certificates and birth certificate were sent without any translation and they didn't even blink. I got my interview date too so I guess they liked what I sent

Ok thanks Apapaia I will just send as they are thanks. Thank you all for helping me. I had called NVC this morning and they said they same that I did not have to have them translated, they said since it is going to be at Naples they do both English and Italian so thanks again for all your advice. Hope this helpes someone else who is going through the same thing.

Document translations are not required by the NVC.

Thank you Ryan H.

I carried them with me to the interview, I didn't send them anywhere. But again, maybe they changed the procedure. As Jihana said, you can have them translated just to be on the safe side.

Ok thank you both

I assume he is interviewing in Naples, Italy, right? I did not translate my police records, because the US Consulate in Naples accepted documents in Italian without English translations. Documents in any other languages needed to be translated. Double check withe the US Consulate (they should have instructions on their website) to see whether they changed their rules. When I did it, about 3 years ago, no translation was required.

Thank you newlyweds2010 for your response and yes he will be interviewing in Naples, but when I send them to NVC will they accept them like that?

a friend said the same he did not need it to be translated as well and it has been about around the same time I will check and make sure on that website s well Thanks...

Be on th safe side just get it translated and safe a delay that could come later

Thank you Jihana, I will probably do that just in case so I wont have any delays.... Thanks

is that a false checklist ??????????

Hi I was told when I recieved one of these that where there is an [X] at yes you have to correct them and if it is a black area where you dont see an [X] then no correction need to be made. Your best bet is to Call NVC and ask them what the corrections that have to be made, be specific and dont let them rush you off until you understand the corrections that needs to be made.

NVC Case Complete!!

Don't expect anything you sent to the USCIS to make it to the NVC and consulate, it's likely it did, but there's a chance it didn't either... Anything you sent to the NVC should make it however. The beneficiary should bring everything possible.

OK thank you we will do that

I am asking do we send all the messages again or do we start at where we left off?? as far as Skype and Facebook and phone calls? Oh by the way I am the USC...

Thank you for any help.

Confused! Certificates with Apostille or NOT ???

Hi waltee, I believe you do have to have that stamp or seal on your mariage certificate. I had to do this as well, and you will have to have at least a copy of your birth certificate and marriage certificate because you should have sent the originals and a copy to them with your IV packet. Your Birth certificate should be good as well as long as it has that seal. unless it has expiration date on it. Just remember if you did not send originals with IV packest bring them with you as well as copies.

Didn't sent pictures with petition (split topic)

I sent pictures in at the begining with my I-130 and they did accept them and it would be good that you have them at the interview as well to me it is better to be overprepared than underprepared. If you did not send them them make sure you have them with you at the interview or when ever they ask for evidence of relationship.

I-864 "missing or incomplete information" - questions?

Hi Make sure you go over everything again and call NVC and question them about the email they sent. They will give you the specifics on what is missing and what you need to do in order to get it correct. It happened to me where I put in the wrong info on how much I made in 2012 and I think I put .01cents difference and they said it did not match what they got, so your best bet is to call them and ask them what corrections need to be made, and just resend tax transcripts of all 3 years 2010-2012. Also check the co sponsor info as well. Good Luck.

Can my partner and I get married when we visit the US?

I am an American citizen living with my same sex partner in Malaysia for the past 5 years. We have had a vacation in the US planned for over a year and since DOMA was struck down we decided to get married in New York. We will only be in the US for 3 weeks, when we will return to Malaysia. After our return to Malaysia we will put our house up for sale and then apply for the green card from here. I have heard many conflicting things regarding our situation. As long as we do not intend to stay in the US under his tourist visa can we get married and then next year apply for the green card? Thanks in advance

No its visa fraud using tourist status to enter and file adjustment of status.
No you cannot tell them at the border you intend to file for adjustment of status when you enter - they will stop you.

Its unfortunate but you will have to file and do things correctly. Which may mean being apart for some time.

Thank you for the response. We have every intention to do it the right way as we do not want to encounter any troubles. So thank you for saving us some hassle!

Then, if we apply for the I-130 and I-485 forms from Canada at the same time, can she then enter the US upon receiving an approval of the I-130 form? (which I assume takes less time than the I-485)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports

Searching for Advice

Hello Everyone,

After looking for what is probably a simple answer, my wife and I would like to hear from someone who has done this before.

-> I (the husband) am American in Canada as a student. Married my wife in October 2012.

-> My wife is a Canadian citizen.

We are currently living in Toronto and considering moving back to my native Minnesota. Being that we are married, can she enter the US as a visitor and then file the I-130 and I-485 (adjustment of status)? Or would can she enter the US stating that we intend to file for the I-130 and I-485?

We are trying to refrain from spending time apart... again. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Congratulations to you both!

While I'm very happy for you, it's frustrating to see that your NOA1 came after ours did and you've already been approved and we, and some others, haven't.

I know, but I really think things will start moving faster for everyone now after the holiday period. They will be wanting to get 2013 filers out of the way and start processing all the New Year/Xmas engagements!

I know it's hard, but chin up, we'll be with our partners in the US soon!
