With more research about questions and concerns about the process of the application, I was able to find and wouldn't mind sharing about the "social media user ID." From Facebook, "Your User ID is a string of numbers that doesn't personally identify you but does connect to your Facebook profile. You have a User ID automatically, whether or not you choose to create a username." Meaning you input the string of numbers under the settings or address link from the social media for that section 7:16
Thank you for sharing I thought that there was a DS-160 but then all I saw was the DS-260 thank you for your time in answering my questions. I will look at the 160.
Watched almost all the videos you posted. Yours are one of the best, clra,informative, professional. Thanks. One question: what are the supporting documents needed for ds 269?
Your videos are soooo through gives so much clarity can you please do one on the NVC application process and uploading documents once fees are paid appreciate you ❤
What a great video! As usual, your videos are the most informative! Could you please make a video on completing the NVC application and how to upload the required Civil documents and joint sponsor along with other tax documents? There is not one single video on the topic in TH-cam. I can't wait to watch your video on this topic. Thanks a lot.
Thank you! I’ve been searching all day for an answer to whether or not my US citizen husband and children will be “immigrating” with me since they live abroad with me. Finally, an answer! Many thanks!!
Unfortunately, if your village/city has a long name it will not fit in the field. if you have no street address for your rural residence the online ds260 wont continue without the field being filled. ds261 is not available to be filled online as the link is not working.
The Petition sponsor’s household member doesn't pay tax. , uscis sent RFE asking for household member tax statements, filling concurrently and the Household M field in I-864 that he's working, any suggestions 0:570:59
Hi, just a little kind suggestion. Wouldn't it be better to have the screen full for the video and you in the satellite only? Or even better, demonstration with just the pages and mouse hovering over then and you appearing once in a while in between
Thank you so much for the detailed instructions! You’re a huge help. Where do I upload documents like my birth certificate, criminal records, degrees etc? Would I upload them if they ask for it or is there a section where I can add all documents? Also is there a list of documents I need for DS-260?
For DS260 form, there's a section for mother's maiden name (name at birth), do we have to support evidence for the same later in the application or interview process to show the mother's name at birth vs the name on the passport.?
A bit confused about "Have you traveled to any countries/regions within the last five years?”. The headline of this section is related to work/training/education. Are they asking if you've traveled for any of those things in the last 5 years? Or general leisure? It changes the question entirely.
hello, I am confused what should i upload in "photographs" in civil doc after submitting DS 260. should i upload my 2x2 photo or my marriage photographs with my wife?
Hi, I appreciate your video. It is really helpful. I have a question. For example, I am the principal applicant going to submit DS260 form myself and my three children. My husband (who is also live with me in my country) has some business issue and do not want to accompany with me to the USA. He wants to migrate to the USA after one or two years. To submit my and my children's DS 260, if I choose for my husband FOLLOW TO JOIN and do not submit DS 260 for him, would that be too tough for me to get his immigration processed after one or two years once he is done with his business in my country. Would that be a case as like a green card holder applies for his/her spouse where it takes 3/4 years to get the immigration visa? Or would be a much simpler process.? Please reply.
Hi Kseniya - thanks again for a very helpful video on the DS-260 application - have couple questions if you can answer . First , my parents who i am petitioning for are in India but English is widely spoken there and all their official transcripts are in English . Does the Full name in Native Alphabet apply to this case since the native language is not English ? Second, can i give my US address as the permant address to receive their Green Cards ? I believe you said they dont need it when they travel to the US after the consular interview is complete ? Appreciate your help on this.
I did paid fees and I was completing my ds-260 form but I saved and logged out everytime but when I opened it again it says that i haven’t paid and even it didn’t gave me option for incomplete document. It showed that I have to pay and redo everything I don’t know what was happend
Hello, hope you can assist me in the section of visits to the U.S. I am a US citizen petitioning my dad who had multiple entries in the 80's but does not remember the dates and addresses where he stayed... He also had a legal entry for a family funeral... what code needs to be documented on that field? Thank you,
I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS THAT YOU DIDNOT EXPLAIN. THE SIGN AND SUBMIT SECTION. IF IM PETITIONING MY MINOR DAUGHTER, DO I NEED TO SAY YES ON THE ASSISTED TO FILL UP THE FORM? AND DO I PUT MY DAUGHTERS PASSPORT?
Thanks! This was very helpful. I have been waiting for over a year and lately i checked my portal amd i was asked to fill the DS260 form. I thought after my file is sent to nvc i had to wait till i get an email saying i should proceed
Thanks for your guidance. Your videos are very detailed. One question if you can help me; do each one of my parents need to have a marriage certificate and petitioner birth certificate? Their interview is scheduled for the same day/time. Please I really appreciate your response.
I can’t type the passport number, it gives me an error when I try to sign it in the passport number but it doesn’t say what it is, there is just a red flag next to it. It’s been three days, I already tried different browsers, computers and devices and nothing happened. What should I do? I’m very desperate!!
Thanks so much about the information on NVC filling in the space where they asked how many spouses you have is it only legally married wife you state. What about child out of wedlock the mother cant be your spouse right?
Great overview. One question though: When answering the question "Have you traveled to any countries/regions in the last five years, Is this question referring to the applicant? If so, if the applicant has traveled to other countries in the last five years for vacation, does the applicant still need to list these countries or is this question only referring to travel related to work, education, or training?
Im the applicant ...my son is the petitioner. What will be the answer to this question,Is your spouse immigrating to the U.S. at a later date to join you?
Hi Kseniya. Thanks for the detailed video. Both of my parents have middle name so while filling thier details should I include first name and middle name in ' Given name' section? I only have few vaccination records so should I choose ' NO' then? Please help me😊
Thank you very much for your videos, my next step is to do the affidavit of support forms. Since I was living with my spouse over the seas, not in the United States, I waited a year living in the United States to do my taxes. My question is, should I file my taxes as a married, or it doesn’t matter if I do it single. Rather not to do it within a married status because she doesn’t have a Social Security number yet. I will take a long time to get the process done.
If you’re married you must file taxes as married as per IRS law. But you can file as married separate. TurboTax has a great guide on how to file taxes with a foreign spouse WITHOUT having to apply for ITIN/SSN.
My brother filed for me and my children and before I was documentary qualified , two of my children passed 21yrs so they removed their names from the list .Now if I'm filling DS 260 forms and it gets to 'are you going with your children? .Those two children should I say yes or no
I was hoping to get an idea on the date ranges NVC schedule the Interview for spouse visas. Last I've heard people who had their DQ date as of 11/06/23 got their IL in December 2023. Is there a window (like a month or something) that NVC will schedule these interviews? My DQ is Dec 15, 2023. Any help will be greatly appreciated! Gracias!!
The question that’s says: if you have ever been to the U.S. before… if the beneficiary went there only for vacations he has to answer yes, right?? Thanks ❤
As a petitioner living overseas with spouse, what address should I put in the section that's says: PETITIONER´S INFORMATION??? I already put the U.S. address where we intend to live previously, but right in this part don't know what to put, because Im still living overseas, thanks!!!❤
I have paid and submitted affidavit of documents but I don’t see beneficiary listed and no option to pay over fees

Hello, in the question that says if I have been to the United States and I answered yes, but in the other one that said if I have visited any country in the last 5 years, should I also add the United States or answer No?
Hello... i wanted to ask if is there a age limit for "add applicant"? I added my son who is 22 yrs old and got accepted but i had research that 21 yrs old below is only allowed. Should i still pay the iv fee of my son? Btw, my visa case is f41 and was petitioned by my sister.
Dear Ksenia, Please advise. if I dont have address of my father, what should I write? I have no contact with him. Dear Ksenia if the Petitioner at the moment does not live in the US then I shall use address where she lives now? And the last, if I dont vaccinated and have no intention to do so, what shall I say?
Hello , Regarding the previous address i have left my old place while i turned 13. So do i need to include that place in the previous address section???? My all legal documents contains my old address. Help please
Thank you for this video!I have a question,I'm petitioning for my mom and she doesn't know the date of birth of her parents nor the month,she only remembers the year...is she going to put only the year or??
Hello kseniya greetings from Guadalajara My brother is my petitioner I am the principal immigrant and i added my spouse and my child, when filling out their forms ds-260 on PETITIONER section what should I write about who is petitioning for them? IN-LAW for my wifes ds-260 application and UNCLE for my sons ds-260 application? thanks in advance and have a great day blessings.
Hi, when you are uploading civil documents for the form D2 61st document they’re asking for is just asking for photographs. Could you please let us now what kind of photographs are asking for for example, are they asking for our wedding and or photographs that were taken on our travels
Hello, thank you for your video. I would like to ask for a clarification if you know the answer. For AOS, you can file the I-130 and I-485 concurrently. But that's not the case for consular processing. Before filing for DS-260, you have to wait for your I-130 to get approved. Is that correct? I'm trying to understand which process takes longer from beginning to end (Adjustment of status vs Consular processing). Thank you again!
Hello, yes for consular I-130 has to be approved first. It’s hard to estimate which process is faster since every embassy operates differently. This video will help explain the steps for both th-cam.com/video/MG5B56SVEmg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=rnNpbiWx_P7qJHOD
Ugh, trying to remember the specifics of every place you've lived since 16? I would fail soo bad. And had no contact with my father so would have little clue about his information.
hi thank you for the video I just submit the Affidavit of Support form, can I start to fill the IV application (DS-260) NOW , OR I HAVE TO WAIT TILL THE I-864 ACCEPTED thank you so much
Hi, great video, I'll be completing this form in the near future and currently my US wife is living with me in the UK (career break), she will be back in the US before I move there but not when I complete the form, do I put her US or UK address down for her address? I'm assuming her US one as it doesn't specify 'current' address
Hi Kseniya! On the children part of the application, i am currently pregnant, do i have to click yes to that? And if i would choose no, is there going to be a future implication where my child can't go to the US? Or thats a different application? The petitioner also the father is a US Citizen? Thanks in advance on your time.
Hi Kseniya, Thank you for this great video. I have 2 questions if you can able to guide me. I am a petitioner (US citizen) and applying for my parents. So in the children section, is this child immigrating to the U.S. with you - should it be yes or No? and at the end signing and submitting the application, whose passport number should be used. Is it Applicant or Petitioner?
Hello Kseniya! I filled I-130 for my parents. I by mistake put married instead of saying single.DS-260 , it's asking to put spouse information, but i'm not married. What shall I do?
Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) validity for Mumbai, Consulate Hi guys, could anybody please be kind enough and tell me the validity of PCC in 2023 for US Consulate, Mumbai, India. My interview is on the 5th of Sept 2023 and my PCC date of issuance is 20th December 2022. Even the official embassy website states that you don’t need a new PCC if the one submitted to the NVC is less than two years old. However some sources say the validity is 1 year and others say its 6 months. I am in a deep conundrum as there isn't enough time to apply for a new one. Seeking a reply at the earliest. Thank you.
@@KseniyaInternational hi The issue is that there aren’t any available appointments to apply for a new PCC before the interview. The latest appointment available is on 20th October which also fills up fast as the slot opens only for 5 mins. And the official embassy website says that if your PCC submitted isn’t older than 2 years you needn’t get a new one. IMP- I have also asked in many Facebook groups for IR1 Visa and everybody’s saying it’s valid for 2 years. Why such a disparity? Any idea how do we get clarity regarding this? I am really worried.
Hi, So im filing for my parents that are currently in a foreign country. My mother on her passport has her maiden name because at her home country she isnt married, but when she lived in the US for a few years she got married to my dad so technically she took his name. Do you think it would be ok to put first her maiden name and then the married name?
Hi, I have a question. When we filed DS-260 last year we were Indian citizens and now we are Canadian citizens and for my daughter the previous Canadian passport is expired now and she has a new passport. So how can we update that in DS-260 now as it is locked? And our present address have changed as well although mailing and permanent address is same. So how can we make all these changes? Thanks
Hi , My wife applied for her father I-130 and she add all information for his brother me all sisters also the his father’s wife. Now in ds260 asked if her wife and the children go with their father and the wife . Should be said yes or no because the application was from beginning for his father only
Hi Kseniya! Thank you so much for all that you continue to do! You are so thorough and eloquent! I had one question for you: My I-130 was recently approved, I am in status, in America on an F1 visa. My ID, SSN etc has my new marital name however my passport from my country of birth still has my maiden name. Is that an issue for completing the DS-260 application? Again, i am currently in America on an F1 visa. Thanks in advance for your time!
While your DS-260 should be completed as passport info, I-485 can be completed with new married name if you have proof of it, i.e. SSN, ID, marriage certificate
@@KseniyaInternational Hi Kseniya! Thank you sooo much for your quick response. I concurrently filed the I-485 , I-765, I-131 and although my I-130 is approved on USCIS portal I haven’t received the mail notice with the next move. I thought the DS-260 would be next but based on your response , doesn’t sound like it since I’m in the US. Just trying to gage my next requirement. 😬😬
@@nadegemaximin1967 I am in same situation, I am in USA and I concurrently filed the I-485 , I-765, I-131 and i-130. My EAD is approved and received the EAD card , last week I received email from NVC which says I have to complete DS-260 and interview location is in Mumbai India. Do I have to fill the form even though I am in states ?
@@recallfun11since you are in the United States already, the form is I-485 wich is adjustment of status and the interview will be in the US, for the DS-260 is when you are outside of the US.
With more research about questions and concerns about the process of the application, I was able to find and wouldn't mind sharing about the "social media user ID."

Hi, great video, I'll be completing this form in the near future and currently my US wife is living with me in the UK (career break), she will be back in the US before I move there but not when I complete the form, do I put her US or UK address down for her address? I'm assuming her US one as it doesn't specify 'current' address
Hi, what if the person I will petition, worked in a different country. Should I list that as another address she lived in?
Thank you, so if i have been previously denied a student VISA more than 10 years ago, does that affect my DV program application now?
Hi Kseniya! On the children part of the application, i am currently pregnant, do i have to click yes to that? And if i would choose no, is there going to be a future implication where my child can't go to the US? Or thats a different application? The petitioner also the father is a US Citizen? Thanks in advance on your time.
Hi Kseniya,
Thank you for this great video. I have 2 questions if you can able to guide me.
I am a petitioner (US citizen) and applying for my parents. So in the children section, is this child immigrating to the U.S. with you - should it be yes or No? and at the end signing and submitting the application, whose passport number should be used. Is it Applicant or Petitioner?
Hello, did you get an answer to this?
Question.
When submitting the documents. Does the birth certificate need to be NEW from the one that was submitted for I-130 ?
Is not visible please zoom it
Hello for the vaccine question should I choose yes since beneficiary will have the vaccines at the medical exam later?
Hello Kseniya! I filled I-130 for my parents. I by mistake put married instead of saying single.DS-260 , it's asking to put spouse information, but i'm not married. What shall I do?
Where should the applicant put her middle name?
Very informative. I tried to sign and submit multiple time but a red flag is on passport. How do I fix it?
Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) validity for Mumbai, Consulate
Hi guys, could anybody please be kind enough and tell me the validity of PCC in 2023 for US Consulate, Mumbai, India. My interview is on the 5th of Sept 2023 and my PCC date of issuance is 20th December 2022.
Even the official embassy website states that you don’t need a new PCC if the one submitted to the NVC is less than two years old.
However some sources say the validity is 1 year and others say its 6 months.
I am in a deep conundrum as there isn't enough time to apply for a new one. Seeking a reply at the earliest. Thank you.
Everywhere I read is 6 months but nothing country-specific
I would steer on the cautious side and get a newer one rather than older one.
@@KseniyaInternational hi
The issue is that there aren’t any available appointments to apply for a new PCC before the interview. The latest appointment available is on 20th October which also fills up fast as the slot opens only for 5 mins.
And the official embassy website says that if your PCC submitted isn’t older than 2 years you needn’t get a new one.
IMP- I have also asked in many Facebook groups for IR1 Visa and everybody’s saying it’s valid for 2 years.
Why such a disparity? Any idea how do we get clarity regarding this? I am really worried.
Hi, So im filing for my parents that are currently in a foreign country. My mother on her passport has her maiden name because at her home country she isnt married, but when she lived in the US for a few years she got married to my dad so technically she took his name. Do you think it would be ok to put first her maiden name and then the married name?
Hi, I have a question. When we filed DS-260 last year we were Indian citizens and now we are Canadian citizens and for my daughter the previous Canadian passport is expired now and she has a new passport. So how can we update that in DS-260 now as it is locked? And our present address have changed as well although mailing and permanent address is same. So how can we make all these changes?
Thanks
Hi ,
My wife applied for her father I-130 and she add all information for his brother me all sisters also the his father’s wife. Now in ds260 asked if her wife and the children go with their father and the wife . Should be said yes or no because the application was from beginning for his father only
Hi Kseniya! Thank you so much for all that you continue to do! You are so thorough and eloquent! I had one question for you: My I-130 was recently approved, I am in status, in America on an F1 visa. My ID, SSN etc has my new marital name however my passport from my country of birth still has my maiden name. Is that an issue for completing the DS-260 application? Again, i am currently in America on an F1 visa. Thanks in advance for your time!
My question is, since you’re in the states, why are you completing DS-260 and not I-485?
While your DS-260 should be completed as passport info, I-485 can be completed with new married name if you have proof of it, i.e. SSN, ID, marriage certificate
@@KseniyaInternational Hi Kseniya! Thank you sooo much for your quick response. I concurrently filed the I-485 , I-765, I-131 and although my I-130 is approved on USCIS portal I haven’t received the mail notice with the next move. I thought the DS-260 would be next but based on your response , doesn’t sound like it since I’m in the US. Just trying to gage my next requirement. 😬😬
@@nadegemaximin1967 I am in same situation, I am in USA and I concurrently filed the I-485 , I-765, I-131 and i-130. My EAD is approved and received the EAD card , last week I received email from NVC which says I have to complete DS-260 and interview location is in Mumbai India. Do I have to fill the form even though I am in states ?
@@recallfun11since you are in the United States already, the form is I-485 wich is adjustment of status and the interview will be in the US, for the DS-260 is when you are outside of the US.
During the embassy interview, does he need a death certificate or a life certificate for the applicant’s mother and father?
Did they ask traveling history of other countries?
