How long does it take NVC to process document after you've submitted co sponsor documents

@melissabayar124 9 месяцев назад

Hi John, thanks you for your informative videos, I wonder for my joint sponsor, who has a foster child but didn't list him as a dependent on her tax return, she listed his name on the "qualifying person is a child but not your dependent" box at the top of Form 1040. Does that mean her foster child shouldn't be included her household size? I'm so confused I would be appreciated for any help. Thank you

@nataliaf1119 11 месяцев назад

Hello. Thank you for the video. Can you clarify the Ink signature, please? When you said " it will delay your case for at least 3-4 months" , how did you know that delay was due to this particular error and not something else? Did NVC send the form back with the request for an INK signature? I am having a hard time because my Legal Rep told me to e-sign with Adobe, and when I cited the USCIS website, she said "I base my judgement on years of experience and legal manuals that go way beyond the instructions"...I am so hesitant and don't know what to do.:(

@nickmo58 Год назад

Hi John, Thank you so much for all the videos! One question, please: I filed the I-30 petition last August for my wife, and for the last 3 years, I have made more than enough to be eligible to sponsor my wife. considering that in a couple of months, I have to file the affidavit of support, is it possible for me to leave my current job since I have made enough on my tax return in prior years, or at least leave my job and get a similar paying job somewhere else or I need to stay at my current job to show income stability? Will current employment be checked or they only look at the prior year's tax returns? Thank you!

Good day Mr John Please I really need your help. We submitted our NVC document. And everything we approved except the FORM I-864 AFFIDAVIT Of SUPPORT. And the error was that it was suppose to be 12pages to be submitted but we only found 10pages. Please what do we have to do, do we have to go obtain the remaining documents and how do we get it?

They tell us to merge finances, buy a house together and many run a business/self employed but then their heads explode when you try to show those financials in place of the citizen working separately.

hi john our visa interview didn’t get well we got refused and asked for a Ds-5355 and a joint sponsor so i get those and sent them to the us embassy by email 3 months and a half ago. So do you have any idea of how much we’re gonna wait more? Cuz i sent an email and asked the embassy they replied that my case is still undergoing internal processing. Thanks in advance

@drmohammedhadwandrmh1208 7 месяцев назад

The income reported as stated on form 1-864, 1-864A is insufficient to overcome the public charge grounds, i got this message from nvc, so i already add a joint aponsor, can i add a second joint sponsor or i have to delete that joint sponsor and add a new one , because the case now is documentialy qualified.

Hi, what happened if I sponsored my mom on another i864 like a joint sponsor for her adjustment status i485 and she is not Lawful permanent resident yet. But I have to submit another i864 as a principal sponsor for my spouse. Do I have to include my mom in my household size?

I am sponsoring my husband to come to the United States and have filled in the I864 form along with a joint sponsor. I had to get a joint sponsor only because I couldn't file my tax last year as I was a student and started working last year. But I and my joint sponsor have enough income. My question is, do I or my joint sponsor has to fill the I864 A form also?

@kamsingh5504 Год назад

Hi John. I been watching a lot of your videos, I wanted to know if you can give me some quick input. I've thought about this for a while and recently left my firm to start out on my own. I know Immigration can be practised from anywhere, I would like to be back home in Canada. Do you think its beneficial to have a physical office in America? Do people really do walk ins anymore? Or do you think it's fine just to work from home, you reckon its feasible? I know you do it, so just wanted a quick opinion.

Hi, it depends on what kind of practice you (if you do litigation, it may not work). Check out my Attorney content: ImmigrationLawyersToolbox.com

@geekUSA101 Год назад

Do you file the i864 with the initial i130 application? Or is this something that is provided later down the line during the case?

@USImmigrationTalk Год назад

It depends on whether you're doing adjustment status or consular processing. For consular processing you do it later. Please check out this guy, it'll help you out a lot It has links to videos that explain all this: marriageimmigrationlaw.com

I'm going to do adjustment of status through marriage. My partner doesn't meet the requirements in last year taxes but will this year and we don't have a joint sponsor. Should we wait and file I-864 later on?

In case sponsor's income doesn't meet, does the beneficiary need to live in the same household to show he can support both him/herself and the sponsor?

@USImmigrationTalk Год назад

The Beneficiary does not have to live the same household, but they are more stranger requirements to be able to use the beneficiary's income. Please consult an attorney in private.

I need to know more facts about your case probably answer the question. Please schedule a consultation with an attorney.

@alanabraham3129 Год назад

Why doesn't CEAC or NVC tell you about form i-485 while doing the i-864 and DS-260?

@USImmigrationTalk Год назад

Those agencies are part of the department of State. They don't handle form i-485.

@rjslias1918 Месяц назад

Hello, I live with my wife and 2 kids in the same house. I am a US citizen and I am applying for both mom and dad's Green Card. I have already paid for Affidavit of support fee and currently filling out I-864 ( affidavit of support documents and financial evidence). I primarily take care of my 2 kids, hence I only make around 3k per year. However my wife makes enough to sponsor both my parents. So, my questions are: I am the main sponsor/petitioner so I have to file I-864 FORM for both mom and dad even though I don't make enough money right ? I have to add my wife as Household Member and fill out I-864A form for both my mom and dad right ? Do I need to fill out any other forms or provide other documents? PLEASE LMK If someone else have gone through similar situation in the past or present, I currently am, please provide some info. Thanks a bunch.

@josephcelestine1945 Год назад

The I-864 you download from CEAC doesn't update the number of dependents, it stays at 1 all the time. If you find this error, edit it with a PDF editor or find a PDF that works. I don't know who else is having this problem but because I thought not to edit the pdf I got screwed at the consular interview and was asked to upload a corrected copy, but I believe this hasn't fix the problem as I'm still waiting.
