IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Help guys! I made some mistakes filling out DS 260 :(	That would be a great idea. I will give them a call tomorrow, maybe they can correct our mistakes over the phone like what you said, otherwise, i'll wait. Thank you so much CaizLuro	RizNold	Female	Philippines	2013-09-24 21:47:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Help guys! I made some mistakes filling out DS 260 :(	I need help, please! I submitted my husband's DS-260 online on the 21st of this month but I noticed we made some mistakes filling it out when I reviewed it and it won't let me edit it. I called the NVC if there's any way I could resubmit it but I was told I have to wait 30 days from submission date to review the application and they will unlock for me so I could make changes but it will take another 30 days to review the application again. If by chance, the NVC approves my husband's DS-260, will it be automatically unlocked or do I have to call them? I'm also having a second thought of editing it after his visa interview is scheduled because by the time he's scheduled for interview, I will be flying to Manila to be with him at his interview. Does the US embassy in Manila have access or control over DS-260 online? Can they also unlock it for us? Any response would be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance	RizNold	Female	Philippines	2013-09-24 21:33:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Document Translations	Thanks guys for all the help. I am competent in both English and Greek. Will they accept the translations of my own documents done by me?	B & G	Female	Greece	2012-03-31 11:50:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Document Translations	Hello all! Another newbie here. Me and my fiancee are getting married this summer and will be filing for a CR-1 visa. I know I am jumping the gun here since we wont be able to file anything until after mid-July but I want to be as prepared with documents and forms as I can be by the time we file. So far so good with aquiring all the documents we need but Im alil stumped on the translations. Im currently in Greece and so I have some documents that will need to be translated to English. The Greek government offers a translation services that included official government stamps to certify the translation into English. From my knowledge they do not include the statement that USCIS require on the translated documents. Anyone can shed some light? Will USCIS still accept the translations or not?? Many thanks Geena	B & G	Female	Greece	2012-03-31 06:22:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Travelling to US while CR-1 is in process	No, you can send it as soon as it's ready. You will have to have an official marriage certificate though, and I'm not sure that you're going to be able to get one from your local government so quickly. The reason some might wait to file the I-130 is if they entered on a non-immigrant visa and are applying for adjustment of status, not the CR-1. It's not illegal to adjust status from a non-immigrant visa, but it is illegal to enter the U.S. on a non-immigrant visa with the intent to adjust status and stay, so if you enter on Monday, get married on Tuesday, and try to adjust status on Wednesday, USCIS might wonder whether you misled them about your intentions on Monday. The official marriage certificate will be issued in the US. The only thing I have to do when I arrive back in Greece is just register it with the local governement and the marriage will be recognised in Greece as well.	B & G	Female	Greece	2012-04-09 02:42:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Travelling to US while CR-1 is in process	People who have pending CR-1 petitions sometimes have problems obtaining a visitor visa or problems entering under the visa waiver program. The problem is that you have to prove that you do not intend to stay once you enter, since it's illegal to enter with the intent to stay on a non-immigrant visa or under the visa waiver program. People who need tourist visas are more likely to have problems than VWP entrants, since visa applicants are coming from higher-fraud countries and get more scrutiny from consular officials. If you do want to come to the U.S. while you are obtaining the CR-1, you should try to bring evidence that you will go home to Greece when your trip is over. This could be a rental lease or house mortgage, proof that you are working in Greece like a contract or employment letter from your airline, etc. I expect you wouldn't have a problem as long as you don't give a border agent any idea that you intend to stay, but people have been denied before especially if they make frequent trips, even from low-fraud places like Canada. I would be careful about, for instance, hauling in a huge wedding dress or the like past customs lest you invite questions about your intent to stay after you marry. Of course, border patrol will generally ask you why you're coming, so you'll have to be honest about that. As to the issue about Australian/Greece passports, I don't know that there's any rule about this. You have to list both your nationalities on the G-325A, which accompanies the I-130 petition for the CR-1, so they may have your name in the system as a beneficiary under both nationalities. The main thing is that you are honest and upfront with the border agents if they ask you something (like if you have more than one passport, have a I-130 petition pending, know anyone in the U.S., etc.) Last thing, have you considered entering on a K-1 visa? I realize you would have to plan your wedding around your visa process, and not the other way around, which sucks. I might be a tad worried about scheduling a huge wedding with a very short time frame to gain entrance to the U.S. If you happen to be denied, as others have, it could wreck your plans. There's not any risk that you'd have problems entering under the K-1, on the other hand. We are not scheduling a huge wedding. Our plan is to get married at county courthouse in his area because it is so much easier and quicker to obtain a marriage license in the US than it is in Greece. US is a 2 day process and in Greece its a 4-5 week process. And I am not planning on staying in the US and filing for Adjustment. I will still have my job and home in Greece and I will fly back and wait for the CR-1 visa there. So is it advisable to tell the customs officer that my visit is to get married, even though I am not playing to stay? We will problably wait until my departure to send the I-130 out. So I will be out of the country when the process starts.	B & G	Female	Greece	2012-04-09 02:39:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Travelling to US while CR-1 is in process	Also... Will it look bad if we marry on July 1st and then send out the I-130 on July 2nd?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Travelling to US while CR-1 is in process	Hey guys! Just need some advice. Come July this year, I am finally marrying my better half! Travelling to US, getting married, immediately filing for CR-1 visa and then returning to Greece. All that in just 15 days. I work for an airline so it is a whole lot cheaper for me to fly to visit in the US than my fiancee to come and visit here in Greece. I have read through the forums on people visiting the US while their CR-1 visas are in process, trying to see what my chances are to be allowed to enter. I dont know of CBP can see that I will have file for a spouse visa in the system. The thing is I have dual citizenship. I hold both Greek and Australian passports. I will be using my Greek passport for the visa process. Should I just not bother to use my Greek passport for visits and just use my Australian one until my visa has been approved??? Thanks Geena	B & G	Female	Greece	2012-04-09 01:34:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Blackberry chat history	hey everyone, how y'all doin hope great?................ i have a quick question. currently my husband is an android person and he wants to switch to blackberry service, am wondering if there's a way we could print out our blackberry chats, if he switches over. thanks for your reply Yes there is. First you have to make sure that bbm (blackberry messenger) is saving your chat history. 1. Go to bbm 2. Choose menu and then options. 3. Scroll down to Save Chat History and choose media card. Bbm saves the chats under the file extension .csv. You can find it with the PIN number of the your boyfriend's blackberry. For example 7HU89JU.csv. You can find the files in your applications folder. You can actually attached the .csv file to an email and open with excel on your pc. The format is alil awful but you can fix it up easily. Only bad thing with bbm chat history is that it will only save the last 2 months of your chat history. What I do is every 2 months I just go and rename the file to make sure I am not losing the chats. Hope all that makes sense and hope I helped out alil bit.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Do we mention nicknames in forms?	hey all, Just a quick completely stupid question but here goes. Do we mention nicknames in any of the forms, under Other Names Used? Almost no one calls my fiancee my his name, they all uses his nickname. Do we mention it or not?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	CR1 approved in Abudhabi	I don't think you'll have a problem with her doing that. The visa is for her entry into the US, not her departure point.	B & G	Female	Greece	2012-04-14 07:53:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Documents that need translating	Hey everyone, Just need another set of eyes for this. I found this on the US Department of State website. http://travel.state..../info_3195.html Translation Requirements All documents not written in English, or in the official language of the country in which application for a visa is being made, must be accompanied by certified translations and submitted to the NVC. The translation must include a statement signed by the translator stating that the: Translation is accurate, and Translator is competent to translate. My interview will be at the Athens Consulate in Greece. And all the documents I have that are not in English are in Greek. Does that mean I don't have to have a translation for them?? Or is it a good idea to just accompany them with a translation just in case. thanks	B & G	Female	Greece	2012-04-16 00:13:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Newlywed, filing i-130	Evidence prior to marriage is the most important I think. It establishes your courtship and how serious you were about your marriage. The same goes for after the marriage, you have to prove contact and interest in each as a couple in love would.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	There must be a catch...	From what I have heard from other members more experienced than me, the K3 visa is now obsolete. It was created when a CR1/IR1 visa used to take well over a year to be issued. It would have gotten your husband to you in about 8 months. Ever since the changes made the CR1/IR1 now takes 9-10 months to be issued, K3 is no longer worth it.	B & G	Female	Greece	2012-04-26 13:49:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Marriage in US -> Return home -> CR1	I agree with the rest of the posts. I am in the same predicament as you Owen. Have requested an intra-company tranfer and have gotten nowhere. My company is hesitant to enter the US work permit route since its not something they need and its something I request. They have basically told me that a position would be available to me you I find a different way to have the right to work in the US. A K1 visa will have me out of work for months, something I don't want, and to marry in Greece, just like you will take up all of my fiancee's vacation time. I have done some research, and haven't found anything about it being illegal to marry in the US. What customs don't want is for you to come, get married and then stay to adjust status. If you leave and go thru the route of CR1 there isn't anything illegal about it.	B & G	Female	Greece	2012-04-16 13:43:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Blackberry Messenger	Hey all.. Just a quick question for the BBM users on this site. My fiancee and I don't really have any emails that we have swapped since we are constantly on BBM. We do have a couple of emails but they are not even 10! I counted. Everyone says that emails are required. I can export the chats out of bbm, but they are not date like emails are. Any advice?	B & G	Female	Greece	2012-05-06 07:05:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	will I be denied......	Does anyone use Vonage for international phone long distance? I have read good and bad reviews. I have spent a fortune in long distance phone bills. Vonage advertizes 25.99 with tax it really is 33.00 for unlimited minutes (3000 minutes really). Plus I have to pay for my DSL internet service. I am sure people here are experts on international long distance costs. thanks Jeff n Merry Skype to Go is by far the cheapest for me anyway. I buy a monthly subscription for USA calls, its about 7 dollars a month and give 11000 mintues talking time for that month. In the section Skype to Go I inputed my SO landline and mobile number and it gives me a Greek landline number to call. So basically I make a local call and get to talk to him on his mobile phone. Hope that helps.	B & G	Female	Greece	2012-11-15 08:39:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Can I start CR-1 while tourist visa fiance is still here?	My girlfriend just came to visit on vacation this month (tourist visa) and we decided to get married shortly there after. She will not be going back for a few weeks. I want to start the CR-1 visa application shortly after we get married in the next few days but I want to know if I should wait until she leaves or can I start it NOW to get the process going and the clock ticking. Also I want to know if there are any issues with us getting married here in the U.S instead of her native country and if she will have any issues coming to visit with her tourist visa while we wait for CR-1 appointment in her country. We did not plan to get married here but we did see we spend less money with not having to translate paper work and we want to be here together quicker rather than later. In any case, input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. First of all congrats! Yes you can get married in the US, USCIS doesn't care where you married, just as long as as you hold a valid marriage certificate. And yes you can start preparing your CR-1 visa petition while girlfriend is in the US. Though you'll have to take into consideration how long it will take for you to receive your marriage certificate. I don't know what the timeline is for Florida but most states will take 2 weeks to a month if not more to send it out to you. Other than that, nothing is stopping you from filing while she is there. As for visiting while you are in the process, its really up to the CBP officer at the POE. Your girlfriend should have with her proof of very strong ties to Columbia, such as a job, apartment etc... things that prove she will return back to her country. And even with that all that information with her, its still a gamble. I don't think I've missed anything, or if I am wrong somewhere, but I'm sure I will be corrected by other posters if I am. Good luck!	B & G	Female	Greece	2013-02-01 04:16:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Time Sensitivity	Yes, the process of getting a marriage license in Greece is alil time consuming, but doable in your timeframe. DCF takes about 3 months here in Greece, I have acquaintances that just went thru the process recently. My advice is get all your paperwork gathered asap and have a civil ceremony and file for DCF, then inform the church that you are already married. I havent heard of a church ever denying someone a religious ceremony because they are already married, plenty of couples here in Greece do it. Good luck!	B & G	Female	Greece	2013-03-13 11:06:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Name in native language Form I-130	Native language section would be if your name is in Greek writing.

It seems you had to spell it out to me for my brain to register the fact I dont have include my married name as its already in english!   Sorry for moronic question!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Name in native language Form I-130	Hopefully someone can shed some light on this. After extensive abuse of the search button here on VJ, unfortunately I was unable to find an answer to my question.   We are in the process of filling in our I-130 form.  I am planning on taking my husband's so the petition is in my married name and maiden name is mentioned under other names used section, but what has me stumped is the name in native language section.   My married name is not documented anywhere and on anything here in Greece, and neither will it ever be, as Greece does not allow name changes due to marriage.   Should I just put my maiden name and first name in that section, as its the only name that I have ever used?   Thanks!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Proof of bonafide relationships -- photos?	Im at the same stage as you. What I have done is pick 2 to 3 pics of each visit to each other, created a word document, headlined with who's visit and the date eg. B's visit to Athens August 2011 and added the pics on it with an exaplanation of who is in the picture and where it was taken. Behind that I'm adding a photocopy of boarding passes, passport stamp for specific visit and any receipts I have such as hotel, if any that is. I don't think you have to have the pictures printed on photo paper. A good quality print out at a home printer is fine. Just as long as you can see the picture clearly.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Preparing to apply for CR1 Visa	It is okay to be confused, but it is best not to give advice when you are.  If you pay attention, you would see that I simply reacted.  I came here with no pre-conceived notion or attitude.  I hope you don't expect me to remain silent when so many ignore my actual questions, offer unsolicited, incorrect advice other issues.  While some users may have been successful filing the I-864 in a similar situation, the I-864A is the correct form to use.  Perhaps it is a misunderstanding of the mathematical variety.  Even though my income is zero, I am still combining it with a household member.  It is a non-issue as it should be indisputable and I did not ask about it, but ignorance will persist long after I am bored of levying it with reason. The question I would like to pose to you is how can you combine income, when yours in non-existant?  If you made 5 dollars then you would be able to combine it with your mother's and file a I-864A but you clearly state that you have NO income. There is nothing there to combine. Thus it stands to reason that the ONLY income that will be used to qualify you for the CR-1 visa, is your mother's. So the proper form as many others have already adviced you is the I-864 and for her to mark the joint-sponsor section.   If you still believe that everyone is giving you the wrong advice here, please feel free to ignore it. But do prepared yourself for problems and details come AOS time.   Good luck.	B & G	Female	Greece	2013-05-05 08:43:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	putting together my I-130 package, do I need photo's	In regards to the divorce timeframe, I agree with dale_trisha. During the interview you could very well be asked questions as to why so quickly. Thats what I am expecting on my interview. My husband was legally seperated for almost 2 years before his divorce became final, and we got married just 2 weeks after it was. Should the interviewer asks me about it, he or she will hear a whole rant of misplaced divorce court case that delayed us 2 and a half months and courthouse closing due to extreme weather on his courtdate and then having to reschedule it for a month and a half later!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Help/Advice Needed for I-130 IR Supporting Documents	Mo007, I just want to clarify something, you keep mentioning consular filing. Are you currently living in Melbourne? Because you are also saying that your wife is visiting.   If you are currently living in the US and your wife is visiting you in the US, then you aren't doing consular filing. Both of you need to be living you Australia for that to happen. If you mean that she will go back to Australia for her interview when the time comes, then thats just regular filing. Which also means that the process from filing the I-130 to actually being assigned an interview could be 9 to 10 months down the line and thats if you are lucky. Right now, NO2s are taking 6-7 months to be approved. And thats only the first step. Your best bet is to have your wife stay till her 6 months is up, don't let her overstay, have her go back to Melbourne and wait out the last couple months or so till the visa is issued.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	File I-130 before wedding ceremony?	You don't need a lawyer for this process. Almost everyone here is doing it themselves, as are we. You just need alil attention to detail and lots of patience. I would only hire a lawyer of your case isn't straight forward and from what you described from above, it seems it is.	B & G	Female	Greece	2013-06-20 09:35:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	File I-130 before wedding ceremony?	Once you are legally married you can file the I-130 as soon as you have the marriage certificate in your hands. You don't have to wait for your marriage ceremony to happen for you to start the process. I'm assuming by marriage ceremony you mean a wedding reception. I did just that. Got married in the US in April, at our local court house and we are having our wedding reception in Greece in July. We are sending our I-130 package today.	B & G	Female	Greece	2013-06-20 09:32:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	CR-1 Visa : Location of Marriage	Having a wedding dress in her suitcase or any other wedding related items doesn't automatically say I'm planning to stay to a customs officer. It totally depends on how up front she is when entering. For example, when asked about the reason of her visit, and she says vacation, and if her bags are then searched and a wedding dress is discovered, you can safely assume that the CBO will get quite suspicious.   If she says that she is here to get married and return home, then the discovery of the dress isn't an issue. She will questioned further about the wedding, so if you plan on doing that be armed to the neck with proof of ties to Brazil and that she will just be in the US for the ceremony and then return back to wait out her visa petition.   I did what you guys are planning on doing in April. I was there for 12 days. We got married at our county courthouse and then I flew back home. There is nothing wrong or illegal about getting married in the US. Its the intent on staying and adjusting status thats illegal. I was prepared to tell the CBO about the marriage if they asked me, but luckily only thing I was asked was how long I was staying and if I had and fruit or vegetables in my bags!   As for a wedding dress, to avoid carrying with her in her suitcase, she can either order it online and have it sent to the US address, or buy it in Brazil and ship it through to the US.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	I-130, IR-1/CR-1, Tourist Visa???	My cousin in New York is a teacher and her husband a NY Firefighter and show a joint return of over $145,000 and will co-sponsor my wife to come over, so I think I'm good there. We are going to be living at my mothers apartment (which she rents) and I will look for a job as soon as I go back. Here is the thing though. I was told that if I file at the embassy than I won't be allowed to travel until the process is complete. Is this true? I wanted to go back to NY and start to look for work, which is something I can only do by being there. Any suggestions here?   You can travel, you just have to be back in Greece to attend your interview at the US embassy when the time comes.	B & G	Female	Greece	2013-09-02 23:57:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	I-130, IR-1/CR-1, Tourist Visa???	Before you think about how you can move there, i would advice as other posters have, to first figure out your domicle situation in the US ( where or with whom will you be living with when you first get there) and second, you need to be able to meet certain financial levels before you can apply for I-130, be that from the US or from Greece.   As for a travel visa, first your wife will have to be able to prove sufficent ties to Greece for the US embassy to even consider a tourist visa. Ties can be a job, property owned by her etc. But since she is married to an American citizen, it will be unlikely they will grant it for the sole reason that they don't want her using her travel visa to migrate to the US, which is what you want it for.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	CR-1	A CR1 visa is issued to the spouse of a US citizen if they are married less than 2 years. It results to a conditional green card which is valid for only 2 years, the green hard holder needs to file for removal of conditions to get their 10-yr green card.   If the couple is married longer than 2 years, than a IR1 visa is issued and the green card is unconditional, valid for 10 years	B & G	Female	Greece	2013-09-12 09:08:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	I-130 application for Canadian spouse and U.S. Travel	She can travel after you have submitted your I-130 petition, and at any stage after that.   She can freely travel from Canada to other countries as much as she likes. There is no restriction on travel just because you have filed your petition.   For travel to the US, that's a different story. She must prove strong ties to Canada and must convince the CBP officer that she is only visiting, should the officer start questioning her reasons for entering.   Check out this topic for tips and advice on entering the US. http://www.visajourn...-you-can-visit/ Even though its in the K1 fiancee visa forum, the same applies for people filing for a spousal visa too.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Get divorced and then (re-)engaged	I would not risk it if I was you.   Right now most K1s are being approved in a relative decent amount of time. But think on this, USCIS has started flooding Services centers with backlogged I-130 petitions and most likely with a clear directive that these need to be dealt with asap.   And because USCIS is so very predictable, and because of the workload shift, K1 petitions will start lagging behind. Its inevitable, its the only way USCIS knows how to work.    As someone else posted previously, you might find yourself waiting for a NOA2 on the K1 petition for another good 6 months.

USCIS is not senting files to local offices but to 3 service centers CSC, TCS and VCS. There have been some approvals  coming in due to the transfers, most from VSC so your chances of a faster approval if you get transfer will increase abit.

From what I have been reading, Uscis did say that most files will be sent to service centres and some will be adjusticated at NBC. However by looking at the March 13 filer threat it seems they are now starting to transfer end of Mar filers. Maybe you will be getting your transfer notice this week.   Check out the thread for more info.   http://www.visajourn...013-filers-nbc/	B & G	Female	Greece	2013-11-11 07:24:00
