K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresDepartment of State to Close K-3 Visas if I-129F and I-130 Petitions Approved and Received Together
Hi we got married December 26th, 2009. Soon we will have our marriage contact back with in the next two days, and will start sending out the forms. We are unclear now after the Department of State to Close K-3 Visas if I-129F and I-130 Petitions Approved and Received Together.

From what we understand is that we will be issued a CR-1 visa now? Instead of the K3 visa. Is it asking us to send in both the I130 and I129f forms in at the sametime instead of waiting for the NOA1 to send in the I129f like it asked to do for the K3 visa?

We would appreciate any help or advice. We have tried to call USCIS on what to do and each time we call the line is buisy.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresquestion onf filing for cr1
Me and my wife are getting close to filing the I-130. We almost have her new passport and change of status. I'm going to be their in April to celebrate her 21st birthday and when she receives the passport and change of status. Do I need to send it to chicago or can I take it to the embassy in manila to have it sent?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresEvidence of a Bonifide Marriage
Hi fellow JV. I have a question to ask. Can I use the wire transfer's to my wife's bank account as documentation showing co-mingling of financialresources. She has no job at present to wire money back to me to show co-mingling. I can't add her name to my bank account until she has a SSN. I would appreciate any advice on this.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresEvidence of bona fide marriage.

That looks good. Should be more than enough for the intial submission. We didnt have that much and we got approved. :thumbs:


Thank you for your reponse.

What did you send in for proof of a bona fide marriage? My husband is thinking about getting afidavid's from my family who attended the wedding. It looks like that would be more of a hassle cause it will need to be notirized, cause we live very far from a place that can do that. I don't want it to be more of an expense cause I want us to save as much money as possible.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresEvidence of bona fide marriage.
I have searched and found a web site (http://www.***remove...umentation.html). I was wondering if anyone used the info on this website as a guide. We was just recently married back in December of 2009. Most of things listed on their we are unable to get cause they require a social security number. I was wondering if the list of documents I have listed below would be enough to prove bonafide marriage.

*wedding invitations
*wedding announcement publication my husband hand printed in the local newspaper of his hometown.
*copies of plane tickets and motel reservations that show us traveling togeather on our honeymoon, and when he comes and visit this month.
*My husband has phone records that shows he has called. I am unable to get such documents cause all I have is a prepaid cell phone with smart load. He does have receipts that shows he has helped keep load on my cellphone.
*pictures of us before the wedding and during the wedding with my family (His family wasn't able to attend our wedding cause they couldn't afford to come. We plan to inform them in the cover letter as to why his family was not able to attend.
*Copy of my passport that shows my new married name.
*Copies of cards that we have sent each other
*Copis of the the wedding cards from both our families to us
*Copies of the name tags on the wedding gifts to us

Does anyone know if this would be enough information to prove that their is a bonafiedl relationship. I would appreciat any information or help.
