IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	DS230 who fills it out?	yea I think they did only send me one.. well they didnt send it to me, they sent it to my husband in USA. Is that right?? He photocopied it and sent it to me so I could see what he ws filing in.. we first of all thought he had to fill it out, but after asking on VJ I understood i had to fill it in. So I only have the 1st part but just looked online at a copy of the form and noticed 2 parts! But I think I am sorted. Fill out part1 and send it to NVC. got it! Thanks much!	becca	Not Telling	Scotland	2006-09-13 08:42:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	What to do??	Thanks for all the replies. the best senario would be if they got my CR1 stuff at the embassy and I can take the interview for that instead of K3. Adjusting status in the USA.. Do I do that when the NVC complete the case for CR1?? I'd rather not have to fly back to the uk as flights are expensive as you all know.. Thanks for all support and words of wisdom!! lets hope we all get to be with our loved ones soon!!!	becca	Not Telling	Scotland	2006-10-11 16:35:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	What to do??	Hey there.. ok I have a question but I have to explain where I am in the whole process... I am going for my medical next week for my K3 and am just waiting on interview date ( which will be soon i hope) However, my CR-1 is at NVC being reviewed before the case is completed and sent to the London Embassy ( they said 2 - 4 weeks) so I'm not sure what to do!! Once I have my interview for K3 and go to the USA what happens with the CR1?? is it still sent to the London embassy?? How do I get my greencard...?? I also wondered if I have the medical for the K3 do I have to have another one for the CR1? its all a bit confusing I hope someone knows the answers! Thanks for your time!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	OH NO!!!	thanks all for your advice! I got an email from the embassy today saying that if my case from NVC gets there before my interview on the 13th then I will interview for the CR1 and not the K3!! SO i am very very pleased! Good luck to everyone with your journeys!! becca x	becca	Not Telling	Scotland	2006-11-01 12:52:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	OH NO!!!	Hi, I’m afraid I don’t post on here very often, but I would like to advise you of something which I wish I had done at the time (or more to the point hadn’t done) My wife is American and I am English, and at the beginning of June I was invited to make an appointment for a K3 visa, but at the same time we understood that our CR-1 was almost complete. So we decided to wait of the CR-1 and not continue to book the K-3 interview. Our immigrant visa did complete in mid July, and was sent to London (received on 9th Aug). But we are still waiting to be notified of an interview date (tomorrow is the 12 week point). One of our huge regrets is that we did not progress the K3, as we really didn’t expect the ‘final stages’ of the CR-1 to take this long. If you can change your already booked interview then that would be great, but from my experience I would advise strongly not to cancel your K3 interview, as we are now nearly four months from the 'completed' date. (My wife has had the benefit of spending a large amount of time in the UK during the last 14 months, for that we are extremely lucky, but she returned to the states at the beginning of October and each extra day we spend apart just waiting is heartbreaking.) Regards, Wil Thanks for the advice.. I wasn't going to cancel the K3 interview but just hope the CR1 goes quicker! I'm really sorry its taken you so long to get an interview!! its bloody awful how long they make you wait!! Maybe a congressman in the USA could help speed things up as someone has already suggested! I hope things speed up for you though! I know how you feel! Good luck Becca x	becca	Not Telling	Scotland	2006-10-31 14:37:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	OH NO!!!	I 'm in a big pickle right now!! I have my K3 interview on the 13th Nov which is great BUT the NVC sent my complete CR1 case to the Embassy 6 days ago ( they dont have it yet) I emailed the embassy to say that the NVC had completed my case and could i interview for the CR1 on he 13th instead of the K3. I sent the email over 12 days ago and have still not had a response. So I called the London embassy today and they couldnt tell me anything!! The girl was not very nice on the phone either! To top things off I am sick from the MMR vaccination I had to get at the medical! ( which i already had) I really dont know what to do!! I really want to interview for the CR1 and dont want to have to come back to the UK for it!! I booked my flight for the USA for the 11th Dec but i guess that can be changed if need be! Has anyone else had this problem or in the same boat?? Sorry for the moan!! Happy halloween Everyone! becca x	becca	Not Telling	Scotland	2006-10-31 08:54:00
