IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresNBI clearance...no fingerprint on form
I see, you already submitted the DS3020(Application for Immigrant Visa) and you are in the next step after that.. yup, your wife needs to write her name and Case# on the back of the (2x2 photo)...don't worry, all u have to do is submit those again, since you said u were given a letter back to resubmit those I am sure it will be right this time, cuz that is what happened to us, we had to resubmit the I-864 affidavit of support and they sent in a letter to resubmit in NVC..
once those are taken care of,.your case will be complete!!! woo hooooooooo!!! good luck..

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresNBI clearance...no fingerprint on form
Hi eric and Wife,
NVC always want everything accurate so before you send in the required docus, make sure that you give what they are asking for,yup that would cause delay.. NBI clearances do have thumbmarks, right and left..the person who is assigned to assist her with her fingerprint probably forgot to mark a right side..alam mo naman sa atin..
I suggest she go and get another NBI or if she has original copy she comes back to their office and have that fingerprinted..make sure you give originals,.. NVC is asking for Originals now..


During my husbnd's interview in USEManila, they asked for another NBI with different spelling of middle name..weird..Give them what they are asking for right..


Making sure that everything is submitted right to avoid further delay on getting your visa soon when interview comes....we all want good result when the interview date comes right... So, good luck on getting that fingerprinted..


good.gif

Can anybody tell me if we are going to get an RFE because the National Bureau of Investigation certificate for my wife does not have her fingerprint in the little box on the right side where it says "Fingerprint"? Did anybody else have this situation?? Did you get an RFE or do they accept it like this? In 2 places on this form it says, Must have photo, signature and thumbprint, but she did not put the print on it. MORE DELAYS I am sure....

How many people are sponsors vs beneficiary's? Maybe that is why they are requesting the information.

Plus, why would your brother use your parents for co-sponsors if he makes more than the poverty level? Is he financially responsible for others in the house?

If your parents sponsored your aunt/uncle, and now your brother is using them to sponsor, that is a lot of people...

I agree with queuedup and Bobby_Umit.

Anyway, it seems if the pre-screener or consul officer finds something insufficient with the papers sent to NVC, they will ask for it during the interview. It's just that one would think once NVC finds a case complete, everything should go smoothly in the interview.

During my interview, I was asked for some "attachments" (which I'm guessing would be the more recent tax forms, since my initial joint sponsor sent one from 2006). However, I couldn't provide one. But I prepared another joint sponsor for the interview who had everything ready, in anticipation of something like that (good thing I did), and the consul accepted it (keep in mind that we never submitted any of the other joint sponsor tax forms to NVC).

As soon as your husband submits what is asked and the consul officer finds it sufficient, your husband will be granted his visa. Just make sure that everything he will be submitting tomorrow is complete to avoid further delays with his visa approval.

It took me and my husband almost 2 years to get the visa. I didn't see him for a year, and it was a really difficult time for both of us. There are others here who haven't seen their partners longer. I feel for you and your pain.

Focus on the finish line, you are almost there. Stay strong and good luck!

So, I guess it's ok to file as single for those people whose husband/wife is abroad. Can anyone share their opinion? Thanks.

I don't understand. You just finished college. YOu have no job (yet) You live with your parents and they are supporting you. AND YOUR GETTING MARRIED. To a foreigner no less. Geee wiz...my wife gave me the third degree....She was pretty determined to find a guy with a job, and money, and stuff like that. I'd love to know how you managed to find a girl to marry you. YOu must have one hell of a personality. Potential, that's it! Now...once you finish with the I-864, you will need to have some things ready for the consulate/interview. You may want to look at these ahead of time because they can take some time to gather. Good luck to you kids!

Thanks cmnb, OBX & everyone for sharing your experience. I have learned a lot from this site such as sign everything in blue ink, don't send 2008 W2, make you spouse a beneficiary of your VRS, 403b, 401K, life insurance to prove your marriage during interview.

Spent half a day with HR folks to update beneficiary information. They keep telling me that according to VRS/403b/401k law spouse is automatically a beneficiary but I told them to do the paper anyway. Got it notorized just in case.

What happens if your case is approved before or by Feb 13, 2009? Do you get a March interview? How could I check people waiting for interview for a given embassay?

I have a question. I am planning to accompany my husband's interview at new delhi embassy. I just ready on new delhi's website that US consulates do not allow interested parties such as friends and relatives to attend interviews. Does anybody know if it's true. Would a spouse be allowed to attend interview as this shows more proof of a bonafide marriage.?


From the post below I think you can get into the US Embassay but I am not sure if they will let you attend interview.

(trinket @ Oct 15 2008, 11:38 PM)
As a petitioner you can be with your fiance's side, but its best to email consulate and take permission from them, so if the guard tries to stop you, you can show the return email.

As a USC, you have a right to enter the consulate. You show them your passport and they will not stop you. Whether you can be present at the interview will depend on the CO. In theory, the Consulates should encourage both parties being present coz that helps better to determine if the relationship is bonafide (as told to us by the DOS). Daniel was in the waiting lounge while I went to the counter for my interview, but the fact that he was there helped a lot coz they gave me a 221g for not submitting enough evidence (I had a signed receipt from VFS saying they received all docs that the CO was saying I did not submit). CO did not think it was necessary to answer my questions coz I was the 'alien fiancee'. Daniel raised hell and they actually reversed the 221g and took it back. I got my visa the next day. So just be there whether they let you be with the beneficiary or not. All the best to both of you

DO NOT SUBMIT 2008 W2 IF YOU HAVE NOT FILLED YOUR INCOME TAX RETURN.

If you have already submitted 2008 W2 then try to file your income tax return so that you have 1040's if a RFE is generated.

Meet,

Try to submit all proof of relationship to VFS because the interviewing officer does not look at these evidence during interview.
http://www.visajourn...howtopic=176381

http://newdelhi.usem...interview1.html
PROOF OF RELATIONSHIP: We strongly suggest that all applicants bring extensive documentary evidence of the relationship between the petitioner and the primary beneficiary and between the primary beneficiary and any derivative beneficiaries. Failure to do so could greatly delay your application while your application is investigated. Some examples of such evidence
are family and other photographs (old and recent) showing the parties together, letters, cards, correspondence, and telephone records

I am still waiting for my IIN they will not give it to me over telephone. IVR says it was mailed on 1/29/2009 -- still in transit.

Please fill in your timeline so that we could get a feel about your case progress. My advise is keep calling NVC untill you get a nice person to talk to otherwise just say thank you and hang up. And by the way why do you think there would be a RFE?

Hard Luck...But I am learning to live with it.......


Aman,

Did you file taxes for 2008 already? I have not yet filled my taxes for 2008 and NVC told me that I could send in 2007, 2006 & 2005 tax transcript.

Should I send 2008 W2?

I am planning to send following along with my AOS package:

  • Tax Transcript from 2007, 2006 & 2005
  • W2's from 2007, 2006 & 2005
  • 1040 form all pages from 2007
  • All pay stubs from 2008
  • Employment letter from employer




mindmaster, this is more than enough! you should be fine with these documents.

Aman - I am surprised you have been asked for 2008 W2. they have clearly mentioned that until april 15, they will accept the stuff from 2007 and you do not have to provide 2008 docs.

by the way, where is DesiMan...i am curious to see what is going on with his case...i hope he is doing fine..


We actually had a super goof up....Hubby to be on safer side sent his W2.....so the NVC logic is if you have the W2...please send your Tax returns for the year....So thats the Ref.....and he is busy filling his tax return and getting the docs........

SO I guess....DON'T SEND YOUR W2 if you HAVE NOT FILLED YOUR TAX RETURN

HTH

CMNB

When are you off to Chandigarh....Enjoy your stay....keep us posted on your interview progress......Even I am leaving for Patiala o Wednesday will be back on 19th Feb.....

Hope you get a Early march Interview


Aman,

Thanks a million for replying to my post. I hope NVC will complete our case in few weeks and we will get an interview date soon.

Lot of people going to Delhi Embassay are being denied visa and they are given 221g. Besides providing marriage photos, marriage invitation card, e-mail correspondence, trips to India what else can we provide to prove our legitimate marriage? I use raza.com to call my wife daily but the calling card does not keep track of called numbers.

We got approved for I-130 this week (yey!!!). My husband is trying to prepare paperwork needed for DS-230 package. One of the requirement is to get PCC. Our consulate is in Chennai, India. I've read some threads about getting PCC from both Passport Office PCC and District Office. What is the difference between these two places? My husband is originally from Gujarat and his passport was made in Gujarat. But he moved to Bangalore 3 years back. So, does he need to obtain PCC from Gujarat and Bangalore? Also, where does he go to get PCC from Passport Office PCC and District Office?

I am not too familiar with India. I apologize for my ignorance about all these stuff.

Thank you all for the help. This forum rocks!!!!


Police Records
Indian Police Clearance Certificates should be obtained as follows:

All Indian IV applicants aged 16 and above, residing in India, should obtain police certificates from the local Passport Office. These are usually more dependable than those obtained at a local level and indicate that the subject had no serious criminal convictions on record at the time of passport issuance. Applicants whose Indian passport was issued within the past six months may present just the Passport Office Police Certificate, and need not obtain additional police clearances.
Applicants over age 16, whose passports were issued more than six months previous to visa application, must also obtain a police clearance from the District Police Office serving the applicant's place of residence.
Indian passport holders applying for visas outside India should obtain a statement from their local embassy or consulate confirming they have no criminal record.
Non-Indian IV applicants residing in India should obtain police certificates from the District Police Station serving their area of residence.
Indian police certificates are not available for foreign (non-Indian) applicants applying outside

Thanks for the reply. I have updated my profile. The lowest fair I have found so far is $900.00 including taxes from IAD (Washington Dulles Airport) to DEL (Delhi). This is a special fare offered by Lufthansa and KLM.
