    Just wanted to let everyone know that my wife was issued the CR1 this May, and was issued a IR1 when she arrived at the airport this July. Thanks for everyone's support. She'll be receiving her green card in the mail.

    Alright, this (visa) saga is getting a bit too long for wife and I. It's really starting to wear on her - and my relatives are really wondering where she is (which I guess is a good thing?). Will be finished with my grad program pretty soon, thought she would be here by now .... Anyway, really appreciate the feedback. I just received an email from NVC stating that the marriage certificate I submitted was not acceptable. I was wondering if anyone might know of a resource that describes the details of the most acceptable marriage certificate? Thanks!

    Hi, I'm in eProcessing and submitted the DS-260 recently. I recently emailed the supporting documentation/civil documents for the DS-260 to the NVC. I was a bit confused though, since I initially submitted all of the required documents to USCIS. I suppose I have to submit them again to the NVC? Thanks..!

    I paid it to NVC, and through USCIS in the US... thanks

    Thanks everyone again. Last week I submitted my $220 payment, I believe the final thing requested from the NVC, and am now just waiting for the interview at the consulate in China (for my wife). I was wondering if anyone might know how long it usually takes from this point (everything submitted) until the interview? Thanks a lot...

    Thanks again. For the 2012 tax returns, I did not file since I was out of the country half of the year and made below $5,000. The second part of the year, I received my assistantship. So, I'm getting in touch with an accountant who will hopefully help...

    Hello, so I've filed the I-864 with my father as joint sponsor, and recently received an email from NVC stating that they need a I-864 from myself. I did not realize that I needed to file one since my father is the main sponsor? Since I was living outside the US before grad school, and have been in grad school for the past year and a half, should I submit information with proof of my grad school assistantship? This seems to be the trickiest part of the app process ... Thanks a lot again.

    FYI, the interview went great! THe officer was very friendly throughout and said we were just "chosen for random check/interview" or something along those lines. Our application was forwarded to NCS. Also, nothing in my background that's questionsable (or feel is questionable). Thanks again.

    Thanks! Also, my interview is scheduled very soon with USCIS (here in the US), and my parents and I will be attending. Just wondering if there's anything I should be sure to discuss/any questions to be particularly aware of?

    Thanks very much again, appreciate it.

    Thanks again, appreciate it. Just wondering, if the NVC Online program (http://guangzhou.usembassy-china.org.cn/nvc_pilot_program_of_electronically_processing_visa_petitions.html) is available only to persons who file in GZ? Also, is there some type of Paypal page/account to make a donation to CFL?

    Okay, thanks. Since I'm in the US, is it possible to file the petition/send it to Guangzhou? Or, must I do it in the US/send it to the US lockbox?

    Thanks again. Just wanted to clarify: my wife and I married in China, and I'm filing for CR1 in the STates. Does it usually take 4 or 9-12 months? Thanks

    Thanks again. I'm about to file the I-130 here in the US. I was wondering, if possible to file online, how exactly the electronic signature is done/made? Definitely owe yall ...!

    Great, thanks a lot! Grad school's sucking up most of my time, need to get this done ASAP... Regarding later, do you mean that the police report is just needed at interview time?
  17. jae123
    Thanks again. Still in the process of getting material, mainly because of the issue of Criminal/Police Background Check for the wife. She lived in the UK for about 5 years, and was wondering, if it is absolutely required that she gets a Background Check from the UK?

    Hey guys, have yet another question, appreciate any assistance (as always). When getting documents translated, must both Chinese marriage cert's (husband and wife each) be translated, or, just the wife's?
  19. jae123
    Thanks again guys for the clarification! Spouse will soon have her birth certificate, marriage certificate, and police report translated and notarized. I take it that she should keep the originals, and email me scanned copies of those documents ...

    Good news is, we at least got hitched in China (have the little red book - should have said fiancee in the US, wife in CHina!). So, Im gonna file for the spouse visa from the US, just not sure how long it would take to get the spouse visa when filing from the US ...

    This is a consulate by consulate, VJ covers general requirements in most countries, however in China the DHS field office located in Beijing and Guangzhou still require English translations attached, they are easily obtained at the Notary office when getting a birth cert. Also you are first dealing with USCIS (DHS) office which still has an English translation requirement for all documents, and later will be dealing with the consulate in Guangzhou which also has an English translation requirement. Thanks! Fumbled with the time, now will have to file from back in the US (fiancee is not happy). Wondering if you might know the average time to interview for filing from the US?

    Hi, I noticed that the fiancee's birth certificate/translation of birth cerfificate is no longer needed for DCF (http://www.visajourn...tent/i130guide1). Just wondering if this is true? Thanks ...

    Thanks very much, appreciate it.

    ...you can claim the foreign income exemption and not pay tax on income less than I believe up to something like 80K. However if income is less that the required min every year for a return then can explain this with a note attached to the I-864. I definitely have not been earning anything near or above 80k, so I'll attach a note to the I-864. Is this usually acceptable? For the note, how much detail is required? Is there a 'template' somewhere on the internet for such a note? Thanks a lot again!

    That will do. Also did you file IRS returns while out of the country, filing them is a way to show maintaining domicile, the affidavit of support will request copies of returns, or an explanation why you are exempt, easier to simply file them late with no penalty. This can be prepared while you are waiting for petition to be processed before interview. To marry over there you will need to visit a US consulate and get a letter showing you are not married. Okay, thanks again. I havent filed for IRS returns, Ive been living/working/studying outside the US (in Europe and Asia) for about 8 years now. Would it be mandatory that I file for IRS returns?
