That is true, I am doing this through NVC. Is that why I cannot get status on-line? Or is there another site I can go to? I have not got any receipts. I got a receipt for the visa application, but nothing regarding the I-864. They gave me a list of things my wife needs to do according to the...

When I look up the status for my application, all I get is the information that the I-130 has been approved. When or where can I get further updates? My last letter with the visa application mentioned that I need to submit an I-864, which was already submitted. How can I make sure that it is...

I also have the same question. I would like to have a back-up I-864 by my sister, in case there are any problems with the one I submitted. Does anyone know if this is possible or reasonable, and does it work?

I have submitted my I-864 and the Visa Application about 1 month ago. My wife is in Brazil. How do I check the status on-line. I can only find the status of the I-130, but have not been able to find where to find the current status. I sent these items about 1 month ago. These things are...

USC married Brazilian I married my wife in Brazil on 8/25/05 I have submitted I-864 and Visa Application. Now I am waiting. I think it is going to take at least a year total to get her here. We are waiting for the interview letter now. At the time we got married, we thought that the...

This is the link to the revised instructions http://travel.state.gov/visa/laws/telegrams/telegrams_2863.html They have made it much easier.

I have learned 2 things about the I-864 from the March Memo. 1) Only need to provide the last year (2005) tax return. 2) Form does not need to be notarized anymore. I see that there is a form that is included titled "Authorization for Federal Tax Data" I see no mention of it in the...

Thanks, that helps. I finally got the letter from my employer. I just need to double check and make sure everything is fine. I have about a 10 page tax return, and I was told to send the form in order. Will the order that Turbo Tax prints it in, be fine?

I am getting the paperwork ready. The instructions want 3 years taxes, but the new memo states that only one is needed. I would rather only send one year. Has anyone else sent one year of taxes, and did you get an RFE? Half my income is from self-employment, and my job is based on commision...

Is there anyway that you can qualify only on the assets? This I864 form is not made for those of us that are employed and are also self-employed. I would much rather just use my house equity as the basis for exceeding the povery guidelines. If I have a house with $200,000 equity, it seems...

I am also from Arizona. It says 990 to 999 days for everyone. We got approval from Los Angeles in about 7 months.

Wait Times The wait time to get your husband or wife processed should be zero. Having papers sit on someones desk for 7 months is rediculous. I do not know excatly where the backlog is, but this problem needs to be solved. I have a few relatives and friends that have married foreigners, and...

Taxes Since we got married last year, I have a question about taxes. Should I file as married filing separately? Or do I have to file as single because we were married in another country. SHe does not have a SSN, so I do not know how to claim her on the tax form, because it demands her SSN.

Immigration I have an idea. How about we make immigration much easier. Set up offices at all International Airports and border crossings. If someone wants to immigrate, the office would require Proof of Identity and a Background Check and maybe an interview. If everything checks out, let...

Brazilian Wife Yes, I am a citizen. Thanks for your help. In retrospect, the fiance visa would have been much faster, but now that we have waited 7 months, we can last another 3. I do not see many people in this forum that have had to be separated before getting their spouse into the US...

I got married to my Brazilian wife in Brazil on 8-25-05. When we went down to the consulate in Recife, we got the shock of our lives. They no longer process I-130 in Brazil. We were unaware of the changes that occurred the previous month in which they no longer accept these applications, unless...
