IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresIRS transcript and unsigned 1040 income tax

If you have the transcripts, then don't bother sending in the 1040s or W2s. NVC much prefers the transcripts, so you're perfect :)

She's right on. Don't give too much. Just give what they ask for. 3 years of transcripts will do. :thumbs:

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresDo You need a seperate G -325 for children of wife

This is not correct. Children don't need G325a forms but do need birth certificates with their petition, while the spouse's birth certificate is not needed until the NVC stage. Yes, one petition for each person but with the applicable supporting documents. Follow the I-130 instructions for a step child. Supporting documents are NOT the same.

Correct.
I-130 for husband and each child.
G-325A for Husband and self (person applying)
I dont think the children need G325A. i sent all of mine just like this with all of our birth certificates including mine, husband and children, marriage certificates, and other supporting docs.

And who should decide that litmus test, for what is a quickie relationship, and what is one that has been 'tested'?

I was wondering the same thing.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI-130 Case Status
"Card/Document" Production.....It could mean that your NOA1 is being produced? I dunno. ;)

I would call first and ask what it means. It doesnot hurt to ask.

Then wait for your NOA1 in the mail. Usually gets there before the 30 days is up.

All the best.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresNOA2 wrongly says beneficiary is in US!
I assume you are in the US. Call USCIS # and put in the change. I had a similar problem where my name was spelt incorrectly. I called and they made the changes, gave me a reference #, and sent new documents reflectign the changes. So do call to rectify the issue ASAP>

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresNow Believe that marriage was for immigraion
So sorry to hear of your plight. You can report him to Immigration. There is a hotline for this just research on it. I have a good friend who reported her Ja'can husband for fraud and the investigation is underway. He was GAY the whole time and married her (while she was deeply in love) for his papers.

Unfortunately, the one that is TRULY MARRIED AND REAL AND IN LOVE often do not see the signs. Again, the signs were there but failure to recognize can cause evident harm.

I advise you to let Immigration know immediately. Take care of your baby best way one knows how. People makes mistakes and we learn from them.

With this kind of case, it makes the Immigration SO HARD to believe those who are truly in love, married, been together for a long time and those whose marriages are really and truly real- to get their status expeditiously.

Again, I am sorry to hear. Life goes on nonetheless.

PS. De man want a kick inna him head. HURTFUL! :ot:

Be Blessed.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresNVC LIES

Benefits designed by the government are designed to show this respect.

Exactly. instead of us saying thank you for your service to the original poster we complain that he/she is giving up his/her's life and should not deserve special priveleges.

There are some jobs that any citizen can undergo and there is no nebefit attached no health insurance, no nothing. And other jobs you get benefits. Same for military. Sign of respect.

Thank you original poster for your service. Please return to us safely and I hope it all works out for you.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresNVC LIES
I agree with Brit on contacting the military help line. You may get through faster.

I can't believe what I am reading here! In general things are expedited BECAUSE of military affliation. There are so many reasons for this. Military folks are in high combat zones and an order to go to these areas can be cut at any given time. Yes we understand that tax paying citizens are deserving of the same treatment (and I agree!). However, it is not always easy to be fighting for a country, giving up your entire life to loose your hearing, sight, leg, arm, LIFE and have to live with LOSS for the rest of your life if you survive to not receive some compensation or priveleges.

When you become a veteran that honor of knowing you fought for your country is worth it and many have to live wih serious losses for the very country they fight for.

If you do not think they deserve special priveleges, then try doing what they do with the greatest strain on the family and then see.

They were brave enough to sign up and fight; they need to be treated well.

That's my 2cents.

Well they DO honor the military. However, if your documents are not matching up according or in compliance to the requirements, then they WILL not expedite. If its cool, they do.

I think priorty is sometimes based on what's in the package, ie, who is the petioner and history in reference to military, veterans, expedite, etc.

Honestly the AOS is the main issue I see here, not so much the age diffrence cause people do truly fall in love. But why can't she get a job and work? They may think she can afford a cruise but can't afford to work or support him while he is in the US will be the issue.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresEmbassy Lost marriage Cert..
I just can't get it. NVC is playing with people's lives sometimes loosing items and such.

One thing you must ensure is to write the case # on the top right hand corner of EVERY SINGLE piece of documents so that if something does become lose, they know whose it belong.

I received an error also from them cause they spelt my son's name incorrectly. I told them I already sent off Birth certificates and such to them before. Now they want me to make copies of passport and send for them to process change. I am frustrated with them sometimes.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresDS 3032 sent, what's next?
Call them about the seperate petition to see if your case # or IIN has bene generated.

Once they receive all the docs for the first case, then you need to wait till its process and wait for further instructions. I would advise to call them to see what is the status on both. Like way2go said, send the AOS docs too.

DS-230 requires a copy of your wife's passport, where the name is going to be different.

True you can also submit copy of her birth certificate which shows orignal maiden name and submit marriage certificate which shows new name.

I agree wtih NavyK. Sometimes the QUALITY of the pen and its ink extraction is important.

Other times, it depends on who reviews your documents. Some can be lienient, others can be #######.

@Foxy...

One the other 2 cases it showed as paid on the same day. However, when you click on related cases, it shows up with only 2 cases instead of 3 but the operators confirmed that the 3rd case int heir system is indeed PAID.

They told me to create my own cover letter and mail in with case # on it.

That's what I will have to do.

Plus another told me one way to answer part 21 (4 household size that I know) and another told me to put kids somewhere else. I did not claim the kids on my last tax report because my status was single at the time.

I am so confused and frustrated. The NVC operators cannot help. :wacko:

No Luck for me tonight... operator did say your getting really close.

The file was scanned into the system Monday. So I am updating my timeline to reflect it.

Thank you....I am sure you will get your # soon.

Since you got your Case Number and I am presuming that you gave them both your email addreses. Now NVC will correspond with you through those email addresses and not through regular mail. You will get an AOS Fee bill email in 5 - 6 days from the time you got your case number. your alien spouse will get an email of DS-3032 but you don't have to wait and I trust that it was already sent using email DS-3032 form.

You can always logion to the NVC Payment web site to check to get to the next step or wait for the email, which pretty much happen on the same day (I got email of AOS fee on 7/25 and the Payment system was available to pay on the same date - just a few hours early).

I did not say I received my case #. I was asking about tracking but thanks for the information.


Congrats Jill& A. :dance:
