Oh yeah and I don't live in SLC now, i moved to south Florida.....


Thanks for the words guys. Matt good to hear about your interview being pretty quick. I know it seems like a long ways a way but it will be here before you know it. I see you are from Salt Lake City? If so we are neighbors, sort of. I was wondering who you talked to about your interview date? Did you call the embassy or the DC number? Didn't take too long to find out either.

Doug I actually called the DC number about 1 week after i knew the case got approved, and then i called it a few more times until I knew it been sent to Bogota. After that i gave it about 1 1/2 weeks before I called Bogota and then requested an interview date. But good luck becasue the Bogota number is always busy so you just have to keep calling

Good luck Matt & Irene Jewitt

Hi Everyone!!!!
Got back from Colombia yesterday and very excited to report that we were approved Wednesday 2/21/07. The immigrant visa section of the embassy was closed on Thursday 2/22/07, so we were asked to come back Friday 2/23/07 to pick up our visa. We are very excited I am back in the states and my husband will follow in two weeks he has to quit his job and handle some final things before, but we will finally be together soon. Thanks alot to everyone visajourney was really helpful. I will post a full review of our day at embassy in the consular review forum shortly. Thanks again and best of luck to everyone.

Wow Congrats. I cant wait till I can say the same.
They approved the Carta Blanca really soon thats great.
:thumbs: :dance: :D



Thanks so much... I too am hoping you will be able to say the same thing real soon. I have no idea how the carta blanca got approved so fast... I have not been able to talk to my honey since then because of no connection to internet and the price to call, and this weekend he went with some buddies to a campismo. Hopefully I will know more tomorrow and will let you know how that happened so fast. Take care!



So I finally talked with my fiance about the carta blanca. Since he does not have a phone at his house he used the pastor's number. Well on the 23rd the pastor got a call saying it was ready, so he then sent my fiance an e-mail, but the servers were down. Finally on the 24th Thursday he ran into a friend from the church saying that his carta blanca was ready. That is when he ran to pick it up and that same day ran to go get the flight in la Habana. Honestly I do not know how it did not take long at all to get the carta blanca. I can tell you he had all the paper work for that ready before he even got approved and that he has never had any problems with the Cuban government and doesn't "own" a house or anything, which helped I am sure. Best of luck for all you at VJ, especially those going through Cuba. :thumbs:

What paper work did he have to have ready for the carta blanca

National Visa Center (Dept of State)NVC/receive case from USCIS

MY QUESTION ..
1. when the NVC receive case from the USCIS,how long it take before the assign a case number.?
2. is that necessary that they need to call the NVC , in order they assign case number?
3.if were hiring attorney , who filed the DS3230,?
4. Is the beneficiary and the petitioner are needed to Fill-up that DS-3032 and send to NVC?
5. DO we need to wait till the NVC send that request that DS-3032?

i need your answer who knows about


1. Well with me I would call every other day and put in my recpt. # and it would say that they still hadnt recived it but one day i called and they siad the recived it and gave me the # that same day. so i guess as soon as they recive it they give you a Case#

2. I dont think so NVC will give you a number and send out Ds3032 and AOS fee bill regardless of wether you call or not.

3. I dont Know the answer to this question but i think that in the DS 3032 is where the Beneficiary puts that he wants his/her agent to be his/her attorney. so i guess its the Bene that fills it out but you can just have the Bene send an email to nvc stating who they want to be there agent and the agents full name and address in the email you should include Bene and Petit Name DOB and you Case#
4. Only the Bene
5. at least wait till the Automated message says that the DS-3032 his be generated then you can email it the ASAP

National Visa Center (Dept of State)Medical in Cuba

It is impossible to be doing K-1 & K-3/CR1 at the same time as each have different requirements.

Anyways, to the medical.... The Consulate typically has an approved listing of clinic(s) authorized to perform the visa medical so it cannot be done just anywhere and most likely only in Habana.

She means K-1 or K-3 or CR1 not all of them at the same time.

The Medical exam is not only done in havana so far I know of 2 other places Matanzas and camaguay i think that theres at least one place in every province.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)I-864 and Jame's shortcuts question.

When our case was at the NVC they did not require the tax info release form, they did not ask for it and we did not send it.

I think it may have to do with the new structure of the I864 form.


Finally, it was nice to see you James. Your shortcut helped (is still helping, for sure) lot of people including me.

If I remember correctly, NVC did send me the "Authorization of Tax Release Form."

Hmm, perhaps they've changed things during the six months between when you and riblet did your I-864. Although I don't see any mention of an authorization for release of tax info on the most recent I-864, just authorization for release of social security info.

If anyone else who has done their I-864 in the past three months could step up and bear witness here re: whether they were sent the authorization form, that would be a good thing. :yes:

BTW, the link to the NVC instructions in the shortcuts is broken, so I've uploaded a new one (well, a new 2 year old one): Attached File  NVC_Generated_I864_Instructions.pdf   218.01KB   1038 downloads


I just sent my I-864 today when I recived the Packet it didnt say anything about the Form so i called the NVC and they siad they dont ask for that anymore if they did they would of sent you a form with a barcode that they generated





If anyone has received one more recently that is different and can scan and attach it, please do!


I have updated the original thread with this uploaded document (used the link). Please keep the attachment on the server :).

Thank ye kindly, Cap'n. :content:

National Visa Center (Dept of State)Questions about NVC stuff, please help

Hi guys,

my husband is coming over to Germany in 8 days and is gonna stay with me for over a month :) We are somewhat expecting things to be moving along soon, so I have a few questions about NVC stuff.. We'll have his parents taking care of some things while he's gone. I would greatly appreciate it if you could help us out!

1. What shipping methods are accepted by the NVC? (I remember that some aren't accepted but can't remember which). Concerning the IV bill and AOS bill, how did you send yours in? For us, it doesn't have to be quick (so overnight delivery isn't necessary), but I'd like to have some sort of confirmation that the NVC received it.

2. What exactly comes with the AOS bill and IV bill? Is it really just a coversheet with a barcode that has to be cut in half and attached to the money order? Or does anything have to be signed or whatever?

3. On the money orders: Who do they have to be made payable to? What else has to be written on them (NVC case number etc)? The AOS bill is $70 and then IV bill is $380, right?

4. Do the fee bills come with return envelopes?

I think that's all for now. I would REALLY appreciate it if you could help us! Thanks.


Answer 1. His parents should use the United States Postal Service its like 14 dollers and its the only one that ships overnight to a PO box I suggest always using over night because in total you can waste about a month in mailing time.
and you just go into the post office tell them you want to overnight to a PO box and they will tell you what you have to fill out then you pay the 14 dollers and the next day after 5 you can check on USPS.com using your tracking number. also i suggest getting the Money order at the post office to i read some where that the NVC likes the Post office money orders better.

Answer 2. The Aos Bill Comes with the choice of agent and its just a page that you can tear the bottom part which comes with a baecode and mail it back. it also comes with a page that tells you there contact information and stuff and the IV Fee Bill is the same but the barcode looks diffirent.

Answer 3. The money order have to be made out to The Department of State. and all you need to put is you case # on it. yes its $70 for AOS and $380 for IV bill

Answer 4. Yes they come with a envelope but you dont have to use it if you send it Priority overnight just use the post offices envelope.

Hope this helps

National Visa Center (Dept of State)I-864??

Oh please, I mailed it yesterday as soon as I got off from work. I had it all ready here at work. ^_^

My husband already got his paperwork along with translations and DS-230 ready to mail them to me. As soon as NVC generates it... off it goes!!!! :joy:

are you sure your husband need the stuff to be translated because when they sent me the letter requesting his police report and stuff it siad that it only had to be translated if it was in another language other then the english or the language of the country of the applicant. I sent everything in spanish and it was fine.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)Using James' shortcuts

I am trying to use James' shortcuts to generate cover page for DS-230. My question is when I generate the barcode, it comes with a little line "Powered by IDAutomation.com". My question is ... how do I get rid of it? Do I just crop the image? I didn't see specifics in James' shortcuts, so I am just curious. Thanks in advance.


I copied the image and opened it in "Paint" program on Windows. Then I was able to remove the sentence on the bottom.

word of advise wait for the real coversheet James coversheet is old and the new ones have changed About a month ago he posted saying this and when i recived my coversheet I to noticed they had changed.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)Additional Documents Required with the DS-230
It is advised that your husband’s/wives bring a copy or original of everything that you sent to NVC because things can get lost even affidavits. and because of terrorism some embassy’s want police certificates that are no later than 2 months so if your interview is more then 2months from the time you got your police certificate I suggest you get one to bring to the interview otherwise they will just tell you everything is fine but they can’t give you your visa till you bring them an updated Police certificate. There have been cases where the spouse gets to the interview everything goes good but then they ask them to bring an updated police certificate befor they can give them there visa so it delays them like another week depending how long the country takes to give them the PC. Take percautions you dont want to be delayed for something stupid like that when you could of had it ahead of time.

QUOTE (reeses16 @ Oct 11 2007, 10:49 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
NVC doesn't schedule the interview. The US consulate in Juarez will schedule you interview.

Also you mentioned your age. What type of visa did you apply for?

Reeses16 NVC schedules interviews for some embassys if they have told her this when she called then shes right NVC is going to schedule her interview its just a matter of waiting till they do so. They schdule interviews on the second week of every month so if they dont have interviews till december they will not set her interview till the second week of Nov and she wont find out till 4th week of Nov at the latest (for example )

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresAdvice regarding Immigration Attorneys
Honestly I suggest that if you are fluent in english and dont mind having to deal with paperwork, do it yourself. Follow the guides under the Guides tab click K3 visa everything you need to know is there step by step. Sometimes when you use a lawyer it can take longer becasue the lawyer will not be ontop of things like you will be on your own case. Lawyer are to busy and dont have time to do shortcuts like generate barcodes and coversheets. its better if you do it on your own plus you save a ton of money. but if you do use a lawyer do your research and only use a lawyer not one of these immigration services that only help you fill out forms. there no good trust me.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresExpedited Handling
QUOTE (christinejohn @ Oct 11 2007, 10:40 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hello,

Something has just come up regarding my health. I was just diagnosed with Deep Vein Thrombosis and have a blood clot in my leg that could move and be fatal. This medical condition is 30% fatal in cases diagnosed with this medical issue (pulmonary embolism). I was reading in the USCIS website that sometimes they are able to accelerate the processing of an application due to extreme circumstances. My question is does this medical situation of the Deep Vein Thrombosis constitute an extreme emergent situation? I am taking medication for the blood clot, but even if they get this one blood clot taken care of there is still a chance of more blood clots forming.

Anyways we asked our lawyer and he said we could try this procedure but since it's not included in the K-3 visa he'd have to charge us extra for it... when all it takes is a phone call and sending the proofs...

If you have any idea about this situation please let us know, it would be of great help, thank you.

Your lawyer like most lawyers are is just trying to take the most money he can get. I got my interview moved up because im pregnant and all i did was call NVC and tell them my situation all you have to do is send them an email with your case number and atten PI supervisor sue in the subject and explane your situation along with all the medical evedance that you have if your case is still not at NVC and still at USCIS then all you have to do is call and tell them and they will be more then happy to tell you what you have to do. just tell them that you would like to know how you can get your case expidited for medical reasons and they will tell you

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionI 864 when you dont make enough money

Alamir0115,

You can have your stepfather act either as a Joint Sponsor or as a Household Member. Lower financial obligation for him to demonstrate if he's a Household Member, in case that makes any difference.

Either way, you do need to supply your most recent past tax return if you filed one.

Yodrak

I know i have to get a joint-sponser which will be my stepfather that live i the same household as me. but even with a joint sponser i think i still have to give my tax information along with the joint sponsor
Thanks
Alamir0115


CutienPurg,

Point of clarification: I-864A is completed jointly by the Sponsor and the Household Member, not by the Household Member alone.


Yodrak

Keep in mind,if you're using the income of a household member to meet the income criteria, they'll complete the I-864A

Is there a diffirence between joint sponser and a household member and if there is what would be the forms to fill out for a house hold member
thanks

Im not sure how to do the affidavit since i might not have all the information i need to provide. I would like to know what exacly i need
thanks in advance
alamir0115


If you are not working at at job with sufficient income now, you'll need a co-sponsor. If you are, simply state that you were a student with too little income to file taxes for the specific years that was true, and then provide pay stubs and employer letter from your current employment as evidence you currently qualify as a sole sponsor.

If my answer doesn't cover your questions, you'll need to be more specific about what you do and don't have in the way of records and current employment.

What I Have
2006 1040 and w2s
2005 1040 that i filled with my exhusband but i dont have the w2s and I cant get copys because one of the places i worked at went bankrupt and the owner no longer has that information.
2004 i was a student and didnt work
* on my 2005 1040 it says my husbands income but i dont know what my income was i only have one w2 but i worked at 2 places that year

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCSC I-130 - time to check-cashed & NOA1

Sent I-130 4/28 USPS delivery confirmation. Delivery confirmed 4/30 8am, to date no NOA1 and check not cashed.

Not so worried about NOA1 as by all accounts CSC is real late sending them, if at all. But my bank is very quick to record checking activity and so I'm wondering what folks think the normal amount of time for CSC to cash a check is these days? Seems from timelines they were doing this quite quickly.

You should try calling them it usually takes from 1 to 3 weeks. for them to send you an NOA 1
