Filed I-130 in Guangzhou, now what? Medical, etc?
djkasumi posted a topic in Direct Consulate Filing
So I filed my wife's I-130 in Guangzhou a few days ago. So I have a few questions about what will come next. Can the medical exam be done in advance? I've read some conflicting information. First, I read that you don't need an appointment to do the medical for starters. But, while this may be true, I also read that you must have your interview with the IV unit scheduled before you can go do the medical. Then on the "US Travel Docs" website it says that the medical must be done 2 weeks before your interview. So... what's the real situation? Can my wife go do the medical now even though the I-130 is still being processed? Next up, we have read that she will be asked to provide documents such as criminal history, birth certificate, hukou, etc. Is this info still up to date? She already got the criminal history letter from the police at her registered hukou, and she got a copy of her birth certificate... but is she really gonna need to notarize/translate the hukou sheet as well? Anything else besides these 3 documents? The I-864 stuff I'm feeling ok about, I'm filling out my copy and my parents who are joint-sponsoring have already done theirs. When my parents mail their I-864 over here to China, they will just need the original signed form, copy of their passport(s), and copies of tax returns, yes? Thanks in advance! EDIT: One last quesiton, what are the other fee amounts we should be expecting? I know of the 1100 RMB medical, the visa fee of 160 USD, what else is there that I'm missing? -
My IR1 visa status is in transit.Right now I am double checking the checklist and I have some questions.Please help! I sent all the original documents of police record and birth certificate to NVC.But the instruction says I will have to present the original copies at the interview. Will I get them back before the interview or do I have to get another one?( I chose the electronic process) I was living with my husband in Japan before I came back to China in the July of 2013. Since then I have been waiting for the immigrant visa in China. I have my police certificates from Japan.Do I need to get another one to cover the period of time from July 2013 till now? Approximately how long will it take before my interview is scheduled? My status just turned from "in NVC" to "in transit" yesterday.Happy new year to you all! Thanks! Wanbin
