IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresDocuments for DS-230 apart from that?

Does anyone know what you send back with the DS-230 apart from that and any addendum? I read recently on here that you also send a photocopy of the data page of your passport. And in the Choice of Agent package it refers to the DS-230 'and other documents'.

I am seeing my husband on Saturday (we are meeting in Bermuda for a week's holiday) so it would be great to know if there's extra stuff because I can take it to him. We are expecting the DS-230 any day and it would save me having to Fedex and lose a few days.

Our K3 was forwarded to London 3rd October and we want the green card to catch up because that's the one we want (like everyone does!)

Thanks for your help! B)

DS-230 Application Part I signed/dated: PartII Left unsigned
Birth Certificate
Police Check
Photocopy of Data Page Of Passport
Original Marriage Certificate
Original Divorce Documents (If he's ever been divorced before)

The Police Check and the Birth Certificate each have some details, as to what makes them acceptable. I believe he has to provide a police check for every place he's lived for over 6 months, since the age of 16. The Birth Certificate has to have the parents names on it, or something to that fact. There are some acceptable alternatives should a birth certificate not be available. I'm not exactly sure by memory what they are but it's clearly detailed in the instructions of the DS-230.
Good Luck! I hope this helps with your journey.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresMy Timeline question
It says your I129F may be adjudicated as soon as XX XX X. The means just your I-129F, I believe. I believe this because underneath, it says "If this date has passed by more than 10 days or your application is past due per USCIS processing times then you should consider calling the USCIS to inquire on your petition." So basically they are saying if your I-129F etc. is not processed by the date above it is out of the current expected tiemline and you should get ahold of them and find out what is the hold up.

I was wondering the same as you when I first read that.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresNOA1 to NOA2 Timeline
The spreadsheet I am keeping is for IR-1/CR-1 filers. If you filed for K-3 as well, you probably got knocked off. Sorry, I have a job too you know and I find it hard enough time wise to just query the IR-1/CR-1 filers and not have to track the K-3s as well. If someone is feeling motivated, they can start a K-3 list or combined IR-1/CR-1 & K-3 list.

I don't know what's up with VSC but it seems that they're stuck at SusieK and they've been like that since I remember back when I added my name to the list. So as far as I see, no approvals have been done since that date for VSC. WOW. It wans't enough we had to wait 3 months to get a receipt, 3 lousy months where they were deciding what to do and how to do it, now we're getting screwed again...oh, wait, it's the fed right...Nice VSC...


One of the most recent approvals is out of VSC, so I am not sure where you are getting your info from...

I disagree. VSC seems to be moving along at about the same pace as CSC. Please check my spreadsheet on my blog (link in my signature). Keep in mind I am only tracking CR-1/IR-1 filers.
DeliciaFemaleChile2008-03-09 15:55:00

VSC is approving I-130s in about 155 days, according to my tracking, anyway. It should give you a good ballpark as to what to expect from the first leg of the journey.

I updated the sheet through yesterday.

Please remember, this spreadsheet is populated from VJ member timelines soley, not with posts or signature lines. So, timeline.gif

Whisper2me has graciously volunteered to take over updating the spreadsheet from here on out. Be good to her people or I will come back and throw virtual eggs at you. I, hopefully, will be out of the USCIS hell soon. My husband arrives this weekend in the U.S. on a 6-month stay and hopefully, before his visitor visa expires, he will be heading back to Canada for his consular interview. During the time he is here, I will not be looking back here much except perhaps from work when I have a minute, so godspeed to everyone on their immigration journeys.

Last call for someone to take over the spreadsheet.

I am finished with updated it and receiving negative PMs about it mostly from the K-3 filers who complain that what they really want is a CR-1 so therefore, should be listed. Others like to complain that there is no way the information is correct because VSC absolutely couldn't have a better average processing time that CSC (yes, people, I sit and spend my time off work making up data because I am just malicious that way).

I am finished with the board. It has become something horrible. It is no longer people sharing ideas and helpful advice. Good luck with your journeys.

It's updated as of today. Grats on the recent approvals. Was nice to see some old timers get approved finally.

By the way, for anyone handy with a spreadsheet and a recent applicant (who expects to be hanging around awhile), I will be looking to give ownership of the sheet away to anyone who promises to keep it updated and pass it along when they are finished. Drop me a PM if interested.

I fail to see what hasn't been updated. Please clarify. Are you perhaps looking at an old version (saved to your comp or something?) And unless you are paying me to keep the sheet updated, there is no need to be quite so demanding (and rude).

Baby:

Mi español es horible, así que perdóneme. Un tacto significa simplemente que su archivo fue movido o miraba dentro del centro de servicio. Tiene poca importancia.

I plan on doing some updates this evening after work. Unfortunately, for those of you with K-3 timelines, I will not add you. I use the VJ queries solely to populate the spreadsheet and am only querying the IR-1/CR-1 timelines. K-3s are an entirely different beast.

Thanks. good.gif

Yeah, another touch today. I am sure it is just CSC staff moving my file from the adjudicator's desk back to the queue shelf because the adjudicator spilled his Pepsi on it and wants the papers to dry out for a few more months before he deals with it.

(Of course some folks have seen some touches on Sundays as well..)


Federal government offices are closed on Monday but open on Tuesday.

Other than that, I can't fine one single I-130 approval since May 6, so no other updates to report at this time.

It's updated again.

I decided to take the 2 service center sheets and sort them by NOA1 date. I had a feeling that VSC was processing based on NOA1 date, but that theory doesn't stand supported. VSC is just approving them randomly, best I can figure. CSC, although slower than VSC, at least seems to have some kind of method to their madness.
