Hi,
I have a few concerns filling DS-260. Any help/response is highly appreciated as I am in a time crunch.
Quick recap on events...
1) Sep 2012 - Filed for EB2 Labor
2) Aug 2013 - Labor approved-
3) Sep 2013 - Got married, Spouse is in India
4) Nov 2013 - Filed I – 140 (Used labor substitution, June 2004 Priority Date)
5) Nov 2013 - Filed I-824 (Spouse follow-to-join me)
6) Feb 2014 - I-485 approved (Used labor substitution and ported priority date from old EB3 labor)
7) May 2014 - I-824 approved
8) Dec 2014 - NVC replied to my emails saying they received my visa petition and will contact me in 4-5 weeks
9) Jan 22 2015 - NVC sent me case number and invoice id
10) Jan 22 - Filled DS 261, Confirmation page tells I will receive invoice in 3-5 days
11) Feb 20 - Received the invoice, Paid it online
Now, I have to fill DS-260. I am filling the online application as THE immigrant/applicant. I am stuck at a couple of places.
1) Section -Petitioner Information
My employer filed my I-140 (EB2). In my spouse's DS-260 application, who will the petitioner be (I am thinking it should be me)?
a) Will it be me, because I filed I-824 (with the help of an attorney)
b) Will it be my employer.
I filled in this:
Petitioner is my: OTHER
Explain Other: THE PETITIONER IS MY HUSBAND
2) Section - Security and Background Information
I filled in this:
Do you have documentation to establish that you have received vaccinations in accordance with U.S. law? NO
Explain: I WISH TO TAKE THE REQUIRED VACCINATIONS BEFORE APPEARING AT THE US CONSULATE FOR THE
INTERVIEW
3) Also, I was exempt from Affidavit of Support fee (probably because mine was employment based GC). So, the process now is to fill DS-260 online, submit the supporting documents to NVC and wait for them to validate and move the case to US Consulate in Mumbai, India. Is that correct, or am I missing anything.
Thanks in advance for your time..
