Consular processing and i submitted tha aos. 2 mos ago...

Good so you submitted DS-230 and the I-864 one month ago. If they need anything else like any missing document they will contact you soon. If not then I'd suggest from my personal experience that you'll hear straight about medical & interview. Wait exactly 6 weeks then call them up.

i think the approval notice will be mailed to the petitioner..

I-864,sponsor is a temporary intern abroad

Hi
I have 2 questions in I-864 to ask about and your comments are highly appreciated. We have problem regarding Sponsoring my husband.

I have been living with my foreign husband for the last 5-months and as a GC holder, I sent I-130 petition for him and i'm trying to fill out I-864.It's more 1 months we have received NVC letter regarding I-864.

At this time I'm doing an internship in a Company (not U.S.based but with branches in U.S.). My income from this internship has been less than $7000 for the last 5-months, and I'm going to finish this job very soon.
my fist question in I-864 is :

1-If i tick that i-m employed in Q22 of I-864, my foreign income for 2010 along with my husband assets abroad, can be more than 125% of poverty line. But this declaration shows clearly that I have been abroad for at least 5 months and since i'm a GC holder, this declaration makes me anxious.
(because maybe i repeat this scenario of staying with him in near future if i can't bring him to the U.S.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I haven't changed my address in IR-11 when I came to my husband country 5 months ago (I kept a U.S.mailing address for the last 5 months)and if i declare that I'm doing an internship in the I-864 form, they can question me for not abiding the law of notifying USCIS of change of address.

2-If i tick i'm employed in I-864, in part 4 of I-864 "information on sponsor" , i'm obliged to choose that "I'm living abroad temporarily" and bringing my reasons that I missed him & i looked for an internship in his country to live with him for a while.

**** Do you suggest me to choose "employed" & "live abroad temporarily" & write down $7000
(In another way,Does NVC look for petitioner sponsors that have a job (income) currently in U.S. and
not the income that are temporarily and abroad?)
**** *or choose "unemployed" & mentioning that my country of domicile is U.S. (and not talk about living abroad temporarily)

sorry for long descriptions,I hope the questions and answers help others as well.

Did anyone tried to call NVC number 1-603-334-0700? Does it work for you guys because for me it doesn't work for some reason.

Try calling before 7:30 AM and after 12:00 AM (Eastern Time). It works even on weekends when it is not busy. Keep your phone on redial and you'll eventually get through.

Good luck.

[caliama]

(001) - 603-334-0700. Listen carefully to the options. It wil ask you which language you want to hear, then it will ask your USCIS case number.

Good luck.

I called this number today but for some reason its busy? and tonight when i called again, it says "sorry but your call cannot be completed"

Does anyone have the same problem?

[visjig]

i have not yet submitted financial support papers as they have not asked me till now.They mailed my approval receipt on 13sep 2010,so should i wait for some time or contact them right away.I have not been alotted a case number so far.how long does it usually take from this step upto interview???

As you must have heard everywhere - there is no time estimates. As everything depends on when NVC contacts you and what documents they require off you. If your PD is current and you've heard nothing then contact NVC and speak with em. If not then just wait for your PD to get current.

Good luck.

Hi sa23,

As far as I know the VB only indicates if your PD is current for processing. When your PD becomes current as per VB then the NVC will start to send you forms and invoices. It is the NVC who after checking all your documents and evidence of financial support schedules the interview. You need to keeps your fingers crossed for the NVC to contact you. If your PD is current and you have heard nothing from NVC then call NVC and speak to them. If you are doing adjustment of status then call USCIS.

Good luck.
