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

Hello guys, Can anyone please help me? So my wife has hired an agent to do all the paper work in india. This guy told her that in order to get the PCC from passport office, you have to receive checklist from NVC first :-/ I thought we had to send all the civil documents in order to not get any checklist. He also told her that if you want to get a PCC, you need a letter or something from NVC asking for it, so is it true? Is there a way we can get the PCC before getting checklist from NVC? I thought we had to submit the PCC along with all the civil documents in DS260. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks smile.png

 

my friend i dont know what kind of agent he is. last month i got PCC by just showing  them NOA1 of I-130. before even I-130 approval. 

 

Thanks

The petitioner can do it. In a lot of cases, the petitioner fills out the online forms due to a language barrier and/or low/no internet connection.

 

Hi Saylin,

 

I have one more question while doing some research I found there are two forms Form I-864 and Form I-864EZ. here is the confusion. which one I should use. I am sponsoring my wife only and I am salaried employee and have all my income in W2s.

 

Please  help in understanding, in your FAQ it say I-864.

 

 

Thanks

F2A Category: Fiscal Year 2014 Movement
The AILA Department of State Liaison Committee has been informed by the State Department that due to the demand of F2A visas by Mexican nationals, the Mexico F2A visa preference category is expected to retrogress in the spring of FY2014.

If the return rate for this visa category decreases, the retrogression may come sooner than spring of FY2014. There is a 50% return rate worldwide for F2A visas which may be due to the fact that some applicants will convert to Immediate Relative visas in order to take advantage of the Provisional Waiver Program or some marriages may terminate before the visa is available.

Hi Saylin,

 

i received this checklist . i have sent all the documents last week, but i just received the following check list. is it a false check list. Please help  i am little worried,

 

   ______F - FINANCIAL EVIDENCE:______________________________________

 
The NVC has received the requested Immigrant Visa Application (DS-230). However, we are still
 
waiting for the response to the checklist letter for the Affidavit of Support (Form I-864). Please return
 
the requested information so that we may complete the processing of your case.
 
When responding to the National Visa Center, please include the bar code sheet that came with this
 
letter. Failure to include the bar code sheet may cause a delay in the processing of your case. The bar
 
code sheet should be placed on top of all documents being submitted for this case and mailed to the
 
address provided.

  I sent everything again.. The whole package
thanks

 

 

FYI - just talked to the NVC, he said just send the form with correction. DO NOT send anydocument again. they have whole file already. he already knew what is the mistake i did in form.

 

Thanks

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - March 2014

From what I've seen, and others can chime in.. since it's a specific line item check-list; it's not a false check list.

 

 

I have been concerned about this, and I have seen so many others that have got a checklist for this item. 

 

What value did you fill out for the total income? Did you use the 1040 "total income"? 

 

Did you have W-2 income plus other income such as Capital gains/Dividends/interest etc? 

 

The part that concerns me is that 864-ez instruction state that all the income being used to qualify must be Sponsor's W-2 incomes. What happens if you qualify via the W-2 incomes alone but have other incomes such as listed above. Do they expect you to only report the W-2 incomes in that filed? Or do they not want you to use 864-EZ all together. 

thanks for the reply dear waiting.

 

i used both w2 and 1040. i just checked my documents, for 2012 did entered different amount . i entered 90000.00 but w2 says 90428.00. i think that's the problem.

tomorrow i will send again for 2012. i hope that will fix this issue.

 

should i again send all 2012 2011 and 2010 or just for 2012? since they have asked most recent income?

 

thanks

 

Kalloo

Hi Sayiln,

 

I just received email checklist from NVC,

 

General Instructions

[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 ww.ImmigrantVisas.state.gov.

Part 5 Sponsor's Income and Employment

[x] doe, John's income indicated on the I-864EZ Part 19 does not correspond to

that shown on the most recent tax return and W-2(s).

 

==========

 

I sent all the documents with the correct information. what dose it mean, is it a false check list?  Please help and advice.

 

Thanks

NVC rep. said the bar coded cover sheet from the payment portal is what you need to send with any documents or any correspondents with NVC.She said the cover sheet is basically same as the AOS. All the need it for is the barcode so the mailguys can scan and see where to put our case.Others are doing the same  dancin5hr.gif

 

No sir. both coversheet have payment confirmation too, and both are sent to different office ( one for CMR and one to AOS CMR). until you don't pay the IV payment they will not review your IV package.

 

just my two cents, may be you have special case.

 

thanks
