No there is no other fee for NVC but you will have a $165.00 fee once your spouse gets approve. That fee will need to be paid before they leave said home country and that fee is for them  issuing you the green card. (USCIS IMMIGRANT Fee)

I have just got the NVC case # today, and the lady when asked for IIN said oh yes you do have an invoice id number but you can't do anything right now we will email you the choice of agent form.she mentioned they had my email address on file from the i 130 g1145.the case was loaded past friday.

 

however i have 2 questions, can i email them the ds 3032 template right away? You can then they may reject it  because it may be too soon can you wait until you get your fee bill for the AOS

 

or do i wait for their ds 3032 email? I waited until I paid my AOS fee bill to email the DS3032 

 

 

bit unsure also, i am currently in US but will leave to be back again with my husband. can i make my dad my choice of agent? You can make yourself it doesn't matter if you are here or not they will contact you through email.

 

That is the same address we plan to stay after moving out from here(abroad)

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI-864

If you look at your tax return form 1040 it tell you a total income and a adjusted gross income. I think you get your total income before you get your adjusted gross income. The reason being you may have paid a tax and they may have affected the total and made that amount go down a little. I think its on line 22 on your actual 1040 tax form. The two amount are different. So don't put adjusted gross amount(AGI). 


florida4lifeFemaleJamaica2013-07-14 08:49:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI-864

The instruction on the form is confusing but then I realized that the income and adjusted gross income amount was different, because when you do a little adjustment to your taxes it changes the amount.


florida4lifeFemaleJamaica2013-07-10 18:32:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI-864

I see a lot of people are getting this wrong and getting a RFE from the NVC. Please you must put your total income and not put the adjusted gross income. The two have different amounts so please be aware of what you put for 13a, 13b, and 13c. If you filed your taxes with 1040EZ then you would use the AGI only. The VJ moderators needs to do a example of the new form so that members don't get confused with the new form.

No she do not have to do one(I-864a) if you are not using her income. If he makes more than enough then you don't need the wife income. You need to send in his w2 and some of his pay stubs from work. If you are using both of their income to meet the level then she would need to fill out I-864a.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresChecklist NVC (merged)

 

We got a checklist today and this is what NVC said:
 
In Part 3, Information on the Immigrant(s) You are sponsoring, please correct the following...
[x] Items 2 through 6.f. This case's visa category does not allow accompanying family members; therefore, you cannot
list family members in this section.
WE LISTED OUR SON HERE AS WE ARE FILING FOR OUR VISAS TOGETHER. WE THOUGHT WE HAD TO PUT HIM HERE.  Did you mark number 1 or 2 for part 3
 
[x] Item 7. The total number of immigrants listed in Item 7 must equal the number of immigrants listed in Part 3, Items
1 through 6.f. In addition, you must also verify that the total number of immigrants listed in Item 7 matches the
number you entered in Part 5 Item1.
HERE WE PUT TWO - MYSELF AND OUR SON
 
[x] 
In Part 4. Information on the Sponsor, please correct the following...
[x] Item 12. As the petitioner sponsoring your spouse or child, you must indicate whether or not you are currently on
active duty in the U.S. armed services.
MY WIFE FORGOT TO CHECK THE NO BOX. THAT IS AN EASY ONE TO SOLVE!
[x] 
In Part 5. Sponsor's Household Size, please correct the following...
[x] Item 1. The number of sponsored persons must match the number listed in Part 3, Item 7.
THIS IS NOW GOING TO BE ONE INSTEAD OF TWO, SO SHOULD WE LIST OUR SON AS A DEPENDENT CHILD? YES
 
 
Parts 1, 2, 6-7 have nothing marked. Does that mean they have already looked at those on the original I-864 and they are okay, or could they still send a checklist about those? No If they don't ask for nothing behind it is ok

No you cant not email it because it do not allow Electronic Processing. If you paid the fee you need to print your cover letter and mail to the address that on the cover letter with your documents. You will not get any more papers from NVC until they review your documents from your IV application form and AOS form.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresbenificiary's preparing I 864.

Thank you Florida4life. Do you mean I'll put down his total income (before tax deduction)? How about the retirement money that he put away at time of tax?

In part 6 I have 13a, 13b, 13c, for 3 tax years. and 10 for total asset dont have #5

Yes the income before the deductions. In part 6 sponsor income and employment #5 whatever you get there the amount needs to be put in #10 my current annual household income. If he is using his retirement to help him meet the income guide lines he would put that as assets.


florida4lifeFemaleJamaica2013-08-11 13:56:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresbenificiary's preparing I 864.

No you don't have to fill the last page if you paid someone or if someone else did it then that person will fill it out. Make sure when you put in his income for the last 3 years make sure it is not his adjusted gross income it need to be his total income (its a difference). Part 6 number 5 income needs to be put in number 10 also the total, that's only if he is not using anyone else income in the family. I am just giving you advice from the mistakes that I made.

florida4lifeFemaleJamaica2013-08-12 21:13:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresIncome and Asset combination acceptable?

assets is calculated like this for example if you made 17,000 for the year and you need to make 19338 so you subtract (19338-17000=2338) so your assets need to be 3 times that much 2338x3=7014. So your assets need to be about $7014

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI-864A help

Please could I ask for some advice and apologies if this has been asked before. It's my first post.

I have just been for my interview at the us embassy in London for my IR-1 visa as the spouse / immediate relative of a US citizen (my wife). I provided I-864 from a joint sponsor (my father in law), along with I-864A from mother in law as household member. All good so far. Except consular officer asked me to produce my wife's I-864 as the main sponsor and she had not completed one!!

She has now produced one for me to courier off to the embassy. My question is, do I need to submit I-864A as household member? NO  Wife's income is now zero. My income is easily in excess of the requirements AND I have already submitted a joint sponsor whose income and assets cover the deal on their own. Our daughter is already in the us. She has a us passport. Is she an accompanying dependent? Did your wife claim your daughter on her taxes if she does she is a household member and she needs to include her as a dependent. I think not as she was a returning citizen and I am going through the green card process alone.

The I-864 instructions read :

If you are the intending immigrant and the sponsor is including your income on Form I-864 to meet the eligibility requirements, you need to complete this form only if you have accompanying dependents. If you are the intending immigrant and the sponsor is including only your assets on Form I-864, you do not need to complete this form, even if you have accompanying dependents. ( This is for adjustment of status and you don't need to adjust status)


Additionally, when I was advised that extra documents were required, the consular officer sent me off with a blue form giving advise on what was required. I quote:

Documents indicated below are required to continue visa processing:

"An affidavit of support from the petitioner / sponsor who filed your petition. If both the sponsor and their spouses income are to be used to meet minimum income requirements (not applicable for IR-1 cases), your sponsor and their spouse must complete the I-864A." Your spouse just need to do I-864 only her co-sponsor and co-sponsor spouse is who they are talking but you said that her co-sponsor already did a I-864 and I-864A so no need to worry about co-sponsor.

Without pre-judging, as it is an IR-1 case, I am guessing that I do NOT need to send I-864A. However, would it hurt to send one with a coving letter explaining that there is some ambiguity in the sets of instructions so I have sent I-864A for completeness, feel free to disregard. I guess what I am saying is that it must be better to send a form that is not required rather than not send it and cause potentially more hold ups. You are sure to hold up things for yourself and complicate things so no you don't need to send any I-864 0r I-864A


Sorry for the complicated post but I am guessing that there is quite a bit of expertise to draw on here.

Opinions?

Many many thanks, Paul
