ReplyDeleteThese comments from Mr. Oppenheim for new fiscal year sounds promising. I hope it is not only for EB category but for FB too. Let's hope for the best!
ReplyDeletehttp://badmuslaw.com/dos-predicts-that-all-visa-numbers-for-every-immigrant-visa-category-may-be-exhausted-by-september-30/
That means all visa category should be current ??
DeleteVERY RELIABLE SOURCE AS HE CORRECTLY PREDICTED THE SEPTEMBER VB.F2A WILL BE CURRENT!!!!!!!!!!!! IF YOU DONT BELIEVE IT CHECK IT OUT MY PREDICTIO FOR SEPTEMBER BULLETIN.
ReplyDeleteWhere to check your prediction? Who is "he"?
DeleteThe September visa bulletin already came out and the date is March 1st, 2014. Guess your ''prediction'' wasn't so accurate after all. Stop posting whatever bullshit comes to mind.
DeleteAre you sure it is going to be CURRENT!! How reliable is the source
DeleteAre you sure with your reliable source that it is going to be CURRENT?
DeleteCan someone tell me what day of the month of August would NVC start scheduling and sending interview letter for October 2015 VISA bulletin priority date.
ReplyDeleteCan someone tell me what should I do? I've not received invoice number to pay fees and submit other documents.
ReplyDeleteCategory-> F2A
PD-> August 2014
Try logging in to the CEAC with your case and invoice number. Do that periodically and call NVC.
DeleteHe doesnt have invoice number... Call nvc and ask for invoice number
DeleteAlajandra fonseca, please have you received interview letter for October visa bulletin? My priority date is march 3rd, 2014 expecting interview letter when and date I could receive it?
DeleteI haven't yet. I assume interviews for March priority dates will be scheduled this week or the next.
DeleteHello, My case got approved on 24th August 2015 from USCIS. Category:F2A, Service Center: Vermont, Priority Date: 25th September 2014. When i will get the next steps email from NVC? how long will it take to get the request for the payment?
ReplyDeleteGuys, any interview letters scheduled ? Please update !!!
ReplyDeletepd march 6 2014 call nvc today no il
ReplyDeleteI get IL pd Feb 2014 interview on 28 suptember 2015
ReplyDeletegreat, what's your PD? are you end of Feb or mid February 2014?
DeleteWhen did you get CC?
Hi Everyone, My dad has sponsored my sister (F2A). He doesn't have income and has not filed a tax return. I've to support my sister on the behalf of my dad. So, which affidavit form do I need to fill out? Also, what are the civil documents I've to submit to NVC. I just paid fees today.
ReplyDeleteThank you all in advance for your help.
Even if he has not filed taxes he needs to fill out an i-864 and you need to do that aswell. He needs to attach a letter explaining that he has had no job for the past 3 years meaning he didn't have to file. The civil documents that you have to send are all listed in the welcome letter.
DeleteAlejandra, looks like I've to file i-864 a. Does my wife have to file one since we have filed joint returns for 2014?
DeleteI am afraid I don't have enough information to accurately answer your question. Are you the petitioner? Or a household member? Is your wife either of the two?
DeleteI'm the householder member. My dad is a petitioner who doesn't have income. My sister is an intending immigrant(beneficiary). Since my dad doesn't have enough income, i have to help him. My wife and I have filed joint return. I'm wondering if she also has to fill out the i-864a since we file joint return.
DeleteSo your dad lives with you? If he does then yes you file as a household member (i-864a) but if your income is enough then your wife doesn't need to file as well. Where it asks for past year incomes you write the total amount shown in tax return but when it asks for individual income, you will only use yours and that is what will count. If your income alone is not enough then she would file i-864a as well.
DeleteAlejandra, Thank you. I do have enough income, but we (me and my wife) filed tax as a joint return in 2014. Does it matter we have a joint return? Can I still do alone while we have joint returns?
DeleteAs far as I know it doesn't matter if you filed jointly, you are only using your income. But like I said, when it asks for past year tax return amount write the combined number, but when it asks for annual individual income, you write yours only. You are the only one filing i-864a.
DeleteAlejandra, Thank you. My dad is currently not in U.S, he is outside of U.S with travel document. I'm sending all the document stating his current address is with my address (while he was here he lived with me, and once he comes back he will live with me). Does he have to be here before we send the civil document? Again thank you for your help!
DeleteHe doesn't have to be here when you send the documents as long as he doesn't stay outside of the U.S. for too long getting his permanent residence revoked. If he has proof that his main residence is in the U.S., he should have no problem.
DeleteAlejandra, I appreciate your in each and every question I've. He is out side of U.S with travel document which is valid for two years and he has been out of U.S for exactly a year. What would be the proof of U.S residence?
DeleteThank you
What comes to mind is that he is on the lease of your house or any US bank account he may have. Unfortunately I am out of my depth here, I do not know if the fact that he is outside of the United States will be a problem, maybe not since you are acting as a sponsor. I recommend you to start a new thread in the visa journey website, maybe more people will be able to assist there.

ReplyDeleteat least 2 weeks, probably a month.
ReplyDeleteAlejandra, what is going on about October interview letters.......When would NVC starts scheduling appointment letters? Secondly I think March filers should get interview letters this October if completed their cases?
DeleteI have no idea why they haven't started scheduling for the month of October. I would like to think March filers will get their interviews before September ends.
DeleteAny idea on the F2A prediction?
ReplyDeleteHas anyone received or call NVC for October interview letter?
