National Visa Center (Dept of State)i864 household size

yes i'm petitioning my husband also my sister filled i 864A and her husband too  as as i do live with them in the same address and her i864A is fine the only thing is they want me to fix the number in house hold size in my i864 which i put as shown 

part 5: sponsor house hold size:

1: inter the number you interred in line 7 and 3= 1 which for my husband

2: yourself :1 which me 

 

3:if you currently married inter 1 for suppose : 0 left it 0 as my husband is the same immigrant 

4:if you have dependent drench inter number here: 1  for my baby who live with me

5:if you have any other dependent : i put zero i dont have an more dependent on my tax

6:if you have sponsors  or any other persons on  an 1864  or i 864ez :0  / we dont have anyone

optional: if you have any sibling, parents or adult children with same principle address : i put 2 for my sister and her husband who already filled i864A also by mistake i put them children so total in this part was 4 / and here where they asked to correct 

 

now i need to change that and dont know in which part i have to put 2 for my sister children dependent 

no she didn't claim me on her tax  only her children 

 

 

 

you do not list their children in your 864. only persons living same place, whose income you are using to help with 864 and are submitting 864.

Congrats to all the interviews scheduled...apparently NVC is working on all other thousand of countries in the world except Dominican Republic. We are all waiting and waiting and waiting. I call like 5 or 6 times a day and nothing. Just called and got Dexter, he sounded like if he was doing something inappropriate over the phone...nasty! Still no interview date though.

hey everyone, the tax docs wouldn't let me pass through wihtout and ITIN or SS number for my husbands, so i called irs. i filed my taxes as single, since i talked to the IRS and they said that definition of single includes if you and your husband don't live together, and haven't in the past 6 months. does nvc know this, or do i need to have my husband explain it with proof from IRS website that this is why i had to file as 'single' because my husband is not here, nor does he file taxes in the us??? PLEASE REPLY!



No online program will allow you to file married separately/jointly. That's why you have to file by PAPER. Then you put 'NRA' in the SSN section for the spouse for MFS.

You should NOT have filed as single. You are NOT single. You are legally MARRIED. IRS agents you talked to are not familiar with cases where the spouse lives abroad.

Amend your tax return ASAP.


if you are married and file single the irs and government loves you. the state department only cares about your annual gross income and depemdents for aos.this way if you file for welfare they have a record from you to get back their money. they understand filing single with spouse out of country. i did it in 1985. this is the second time i am going thru this process. this time i filed single with no dependents-because my kids only want my money but file for themselves-lol- and then to get the rest of my money back quickly, i amended my return to married to get the rest of my money from uncle sam. this i did with a w7 all the laws quoted here are to ensure a single person or seperated person does not file as married to get a bigger refund

notify embassy via email and take email and embassy response to interview and ensure its changed in their system. notify uscis online then call them to confirm that address is changed. they will be mailing green card and ss card and you do not want to be looking for them.

Great. If those mother ######s messed us up I will freak out on them. I will fly to NVC, knock on the door and ask to speak with Arthur or Joy. Then I will punch them in the face.

 

AAAAGGGGHHHH!!!!!

 

I submitted my IV to attn:DR and it was scanned in two days after receipt. 


abgMaleJamaica2014-08-28 16:57:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - August 2014

 

No, it doesn't take 60 days to review. But as I said, it does take time to just get to the form itself. The current average, based on the data on my new spreadsheet, is 29 calendar days. And although it may be just one page, I'm sure that after they review it, they have to press a few buttons to get the IV bill invoiced. It's not like it takes two seconds.

 

And I think some people are failing to realize just how many applications NVC is currently handling. It's not just 1000 or 2000. It's hundreds of thousands of cases. And with the influx of adjudicated cases from USCIS, the number just keeps on growing each week. Obviously, they're not all at the same spot at NVC, so not every single case currently at NVC is submitting the DS-261, but there's still a big chunk doing that. And I don't know if NVC has people specifically that just review DS-261s all day, or if each person works on different tasks throughout the day. So, you need to keep all this in mind.

 

Now, by no means am I justifying the "rightness" of it all. Obviously, there's better ways to implement all of this and have shorter review times. But, I'm just trying to explain the current process and how it all works.

 

me thinks that since the private sector is running NVC and the politicians say the private sector is the best way to do things, we have proven them wrong.

 

if the private sector has increase in business they normally hire more people. the company running NVC - I think it is SERCO - is maximizing profits instead of hiring more staff which we pay for in delays.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC- 60 Day Letter

I sent in my IV packet last Thursday and got the 60 days email this morning. My AOS package was received on August 5. I called them this morning and they still haven't touched my AOS package as yet. I guess I will have to wait until sometime in November for a case complete and November will make one year since I started this process. It's very crazy SMH. I am pregnant and suppose to have my baby in January but to things are looking seems as if my baby will be born here putting on additional wait time for me. Oh well, it's just life.

 

Is something wrong with my packages, they have been received and inputted into the system but I have not received any emails about length of time.

Hi VJ friends,

I'm putting my IV package together and it just hit me. Do i have to include my divorce cetificate from the prior marriage? My wife is the beneficiary and i know the IV docs are all about the benefiary. if that the case i dont need to include anything about me. Please somebody help.

 

yes

I dont understand what you mean...  Do you mean to say even after interview NO Original documents will be given back, please clarify!!!

 

The DOS site says the reason for copies is to be able to return the original to you. There is no checklist for copies, but the record DOS keeps will include your original documents. The reason for copies is to return your originals, and if the embassy will accept your copies and compare them to originals is an open question.

i am confused, a lot of folks here are saying i (we) will get checklist for not sending photocopy along with original for IV Documents, I called NVC this morning the operator is saying, so long as the originals IV Docs were sent in, copies are not needed, granted alot of operator are clueless of what is needed, im getting really confused here

 

I will keep calling NVC in hopes of talking with atleast 4 different operator to see if i will get same story for all of them to calm my fears.... its gonna be a long day calling NVC multiple times, stay tuned ....

 

If you do not provide copies the original documents will be kept and not returned to you.

I filed I-864. In Part 6, sponsor's income and employment. I left 6a to 9a blank because I did not use other income.

Is this a checklist crime?

I tried looking for it.. couldn't find it.. Is it ok if my husband brings the police certificate to the interview instead of me sending it to the NVC cuz it will take a LOT of time for him to get the PC.

 

It has to be submitted to NVC. The threads earlier stated that a letter from embassy or NVC was not necessary to obtain police certificate.Your husband should go himself and find out what is required locally for his situation.


abgMaleJamaica2014-09-06 23:53:00

  I am going to resubmit the Supervisor said to wait until she calls  she wants to make sure there will be no surprises.  What do you mean with transcripts, request evidence from NVC they don't even call you back when they say they are and who do I request it from in the package I resubmit?

 

Sorry, I meant tax transcripts(returns) and parents marriage certificate.

A suggestion, since you will have to wait the sixty days, why not resubmit all the AoS's with transcripts and requested evidence so NVC can't say something else is missing and wrong and attach a NICE $#@&*% letter.

    I've asked this of Canadians before and they seem insulted for some odd reason but I'll ask you because I know you wont bite my head off :D :rofl:

    Don't they teach children in Canadian schools that Canada is part of America?   By America I mean the continent.  America is one continent not two as they love to say in the USA, and it encompasses Canada, USA, Central America, Caribbean and South America.   All people with in this group are American by birth since it is NOT a country but a continent.  It always dumbfounds me to realize so many people are unaware of this fact.   Olympic flag has 5 circles not 6,7 or 8.  Makes me laugh when people add continents, I often wonder why they do that.  Really odd I think, just my pet peeve. :D  (L) (L)

 

   They should have hot water bottles at your pharmacy and yeah e-bay will do if you can't find it close to you. :D  They work beautifully and keep you nice and warm.

 

North America and South America are two different continents.

Hi, yes sorry. It happened the same day I paid the AOS feel, 27th of June. I forgot to add it to the signature. I check every day to see if we can pay the IV bill but nothing yet.

 

does the DS 261 show as completed on CEAC website, did you log in as applicant when filling the DS 261 out, was it completed correctly? call NVC speak to a supervisor, this is not right.

Good morning all I have a question for all that have sent in the IV package...I am the petitioner and I am a us citizen. My husband lives in Jamaica. We are currently waiting for nvc to assign our file with a case number. They received our case on oct 1,14. Since it appears that we will need to send my husband in passport,his birth certificate and police clearance, im trying to see how I can get these items to the Nvc w/out much delay since he has them and if he has to send them from jamaica, it will take weeks for nvc to get them. Im assuming all these docs will need to be originals. Im just confuse as to how we can get these documents to them w/in a one day turnaround time. He has all these docs right now except police clearance. He should have that by Nov 1. How was everyone able to send their iv package so quickly?

 

don't forget the passport pictures from him.

you will assign yourself as his agent or he will choose you as his agent. he should mail you a copy his passport bio page, his original birth certificate, the police certificate and any other things you may need. NOW

you will be submitting them as his agent from the US.

 

there is no need to explain job loss. if today you have a job that meet the income guidelines you have nothing to worry about.
