Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)Do I need Waiver
QUOTE (English Muffin @ Nov 22 2008, 10:43 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I'm confused. Why would you need a waiver because of your daughter-in-law's admission problems? Your daughter-in-law's immigration history will have no bearing whatsoever on you.



I am asking on behalf of my daughter-in-law. She is the one requesting the CR1 visa and her paperwork is at NVC and they are requesting a clarification as to her admission and visa issuance.

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)Do I need Waiver
Daughter-in-law was refused entry to US at port of entry. She was assigned an alien number. She was not given any paperwork. We are assuming she withdrew her request for admission and will not require a waiver. Case is at NVC and they are requesting court docs as on Part II of the 230 she answered "yes" when they asked if you have ever been denied entry at port. Submitted a full explanation and NVC says now need a detailed letter. Anyway had similar circumstances?

so i dont need the reciept for the I-130 NOA1 in I-129F.



Hold your horses. The example you quoted was for filing the two petitions together. If you've already filed the I-130 you need to provide proof you did so. The NOA1 is one way to do that. A copy of your cancelled check is another.

When you file them together, the I-130 in the same envelope with the I-129F serves as the proof it was filed.

"Proof" is the operative word.


Has anyone tried filing their I-129F for the K3 after the I-130 was sent in, without the NOA1 or cancelled check?

If so what were your issues or how did you do it?


Do you have a copy of your certified mail, return receipt? If you do not have a copy of the cancelled check? Do you have any proof that you sent in your I-130 besides a copy? Overnight receipt, etc.? If so, then you can mail in your I-129f with a copy of the I-130 and this receipt and they will accept it. I know about 5 people who have done this so far. Look under the thread that says "Sending in I-129f without NOA1 from I-130."

Thanks good.gif


If I send in the I-129f without the NOA1 on the I-130 where do I send it. The instructions say to send it to the same place the I-130 was filed (Nebraska in our case) however I know that Nebraska is not hadnling the I-129f nor the I-130 and am assuming they are forwarding them to California. Anyway know. Thanks

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresIR-1 Filers
Has anyone filed their I-130 in Nebraska in October and if so have you received NOA1? We want to file our I-129 but can't do so until NOA1 from Nebraska (actually I guess it will come from CA) It shows being receipted but check not cashed. Does the "other forms" on their timeline refer to I-130?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedureschanging interview location
My son filed the I130 for his wife on 10/26, received per post office at Kansas on 10/29 (UK citizen) They have not received received their NOA1 as yet. Since they are newlyweds and he is in US and she is in UK they have decided to take teaching jobs in Korea so they can be together while they wait for the papers to clear and her to get the visa. On the application they asked that when she has her interview it be in London. It will probably be during the middle of her contract in Korea before she gets the interview. Can they request that an interview be held at the US consulate in Korea?

I didn't see a thread started in the CR1 forum for October forums like I saw in the K1 forum. Sooooo...I decided to start one! Lets keep in touch, share our stories, filing dates, RFE's, NOA's etc etc.....

I just sent my I-130 off TODAY! Woo Hoo kicking.gif its outta my hands. I just wanted to get in the mail already and pray for a belssing of an NOA2 by the beginning of 2008. Sent it priority mail to CSC which is 30 mins from my house. Can't wait til I see that canceled check!!



Sent I-130I Nebraska on 10/26; received there 10/29. Check not cashed; no NOA1. Would like to file the I129f but unless check is cashed and the I-130 is forwarded to CA (which is where I understand they are all being processed) can't do.

I'm sure all the vets on this board are tired of this daily question, but keep in mind that dozens of people are just starting this process every day, and the "can I visit while the application is pending?" question is one, if not the, most pressing matters to most of them.

Information about this is all over this site, but scattered. I for one am a person who likes to hear personal experiences too, so I can make a decision based on what others in my similar situation have gone through.

The answer is yes, visits are allowed. But whether you will actually be admitted lies entirely in the hands of the officer questioning you upon entry. And face it, hearing you've got a sweetheart you're intending to/have married waiting for you in the US is going to set off a "he/she is just going to stay here forever" bell to that officer. It's your job to convince that officer that you have a life back in your home country that you fully intend, and will, go back to.

Anyway, I'm hoping people will post their experiences visiting the USC before and during the visa journey. I'm sure that all of us do visit legally, and do leave when we're supposed to. So, is there anything that worked for you? Hindered you? If you were ever denied, why? Were you able to remedy the situation and try again?

Going through customs can make your stomach turn, and make you feel like a criminal even though you've done nothing wrong. So, let's try to calm each other down and tell each other our experiences. I think we'll find that most of us are admitted (albeit with a little hassle, perhaps).

Vets, maybe this will cut down on having to answer the question 5 times a day!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNOA2 in the mail

Hi everyone!
Our I-129F petition was approved on 11/29 (last Wednesday) and I have yet to receive our NOA2 via snail mail. I actually received the approval email at 1 a.m. on 11/30 which stated that the letter was sent off.
I live in Florida and I know that the letter is coming from California but I wanted to make sure that it is not too late that I should be worried it's been lost in the mail? I figured I should give it until the end of the week - my NOA1 took a bit to get here but wanted to check with you all....
What do you think?
Thanks ahead of time!
