IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresThink I've lost the chest X-ray from medical and they want it at PoE!
I agree. My husband came from the Dominican Republic last year and even though we brought the x-ray in our hecked luggage no one asked for that. Besides, maybe they have something about it inside of the "mystery envelope" that everyone comes in with. He came in through JFK International and I saw no doctors waiting to check them there. If that was the case wouldn't you have had issues at the doctors office in the first place. Take it easy and come on over!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresAOS I-864
Correct. they want to see the amount your supposed to make this year. That includes any automatic raises you get but its an estimate you can get from your employer. Ask them to mail or fax you a letter with yout current yearly income if you dont know it.

on the same boat here..
Doing an AOs and the priority dat is a month and half behind my file date and I just recieved a letter from the MSC stating that my case is still pending and im waiting on an appointment date so to contact them back only if I have not recieved any notice in the next 90 days. I mean like really 3 months. Especially after they know they have given appointment dates to people who files months behind me. This system is absolute garbage. I thought this govermnet was by the people for the people. Seems more like the only attend to themselves.

Wow, this is great!!! So many NOA2 from VSC and in such a short time. WOW WOW! It made my day. Congratulations! God bless you!


Congrats, our NOA 2 was approved today too. And it looks we filed around the same time. Things are picking up at VSC.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMy NOA2 Approved!!
Wow, VSC is working fast!! Just received the NOA 2

Just received an e-mail that states:

"On October 15, 2009, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E). Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283.

If you have questions or concerns about your application or the case status results listed above, or if you have not received a decision from USCIS within the current processing time listed*, please contact USCIS Customer Service at (800) 375-5283."


So, I guess my question now, is what is the next step?

I am going to visit my Fiance for a long weekend in about a month, I will bring the copy I made of the original petition with me to give to him, anything else I should be doing between now and a month from now when I see him.

Very happy!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWe got our k-1 Visa!
My fiance and I went to his interview on Monday ( did the medical earlier in the morning) and then had to go back to the medical offices on Tuesday to pick up his results, then back to the Embassy, where in about 20 minutes we learned that he got the visa. :dance:

Overall, it was an easy experience and we are thrilled to have this leg of the process over! Thank you to everyone here that helped me in the process.

2010 is gonna be a good year!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsUSCIS overlooked my I-129F?

NOA2 is the long wait like 6 months.. really. So you should be getting your's anytime soon. Check other people timelines from date submitted on their NOA1 and you will see many don't have their NOA2 yet.


I understand that. I've been waiting more than 7 months now, though. And since the processing time-frame is listed as beyond the date on which I received my NOA1 (I received NOA1 on 6/27, and they're now looking at July 2nd), can I now go ahead and put in for a service request?

I sent my I-129F petition to USCIS, and it went to the Vermont Service Center. I got my NOA1 on June 27th, but haven't received NOA2. I've been checking their processing times on the website, and they just recently updated their dates - the processing timeframe is listed as July 2nd! Did my application get lost / overlooked? Or is my NOA2 possibly en route? I signed up for electronic notification, and nothing so far. Any help / tips would be appreciated, I'm kind of freaking out ...

That makes a lot of sense. I agree that I don't want mine turning into that either. It'll be interesting, I'm sure, since I know my idea of what I want is going to differ with my future MIL's idea... but I stand firm in the belief that it is OUR day. She already had 2 weddings, damnit. laughing.gif

Are you going to go to Brooklyn or Manhattan City Hall?

Your talking about the size of your family reminds me of how every time I mentioned to someone close to me that we'd be going to City Hall, they would invite themselves. "can I come?!" I had to say to everyone that no one is allowed to come. Though Scott says he cannot tell his parents they are not allowed to come to our wedding, so I suppose parents have a pass to that rule. My only exception is one friend who I would really like to have as a bridesmaid, but she doesn't have her Greencard yet, so she can't risk leaving the States, and we may have our "real" ceremony later in Montreal. So I may want her as my witness.

And yeah, 35 is a nice small number. There are 30 people I think I would like to invite, but I have no clue on Scott's side... already larger than I'd like, but at least it won't be one of those huge hundreds of people things!


i havent even met my future mother in law yet!!!! ahhhh lol i cant wait to go to albania FINALLY!!! lol i spoke to her on the phone a couple of times (even though i dont speak albanian and she doesnt speak english) and she sounds sooooooo sweet, like the sweetest little albanian woman in the world!! lol

i dont know yet if we will go to brooklyn or manhattan city hall...i hadnt really thought about it lol...if we went to brooklyn city hall, we could walk home laughing.gif

adriano wants to get married in the church also (i dont, but am willing to do so for him)...we havent finalized plans, but we toyed with the idea of getting married in the church in albania and then going out with his family afterwards

That is awesome that your P3 got to Adriano faster than expected. Ours got to Scott yesterday but he is a big ol' procrastinator and it's stressing the hell out of me! We made a deal that I can't get upset with him until Monday, and if he hasn't sent it by then, they I get to lose my sh*t.


haha, yea i was getting very annoyed with adriano because he tends to have the same procrastinating ways...i needed him to physically write me the name of his high school (for the form ds230 because i dont speak albanian)...all he had to do was write a text message with the information...it took him WEEKS to accomplish this task...this is the reason why it took me so long to mail him the damn packet!!!! lol im like 'sweety, ive been waiting a MONTH for you to write me one word!!!!' ranting33va.gif

my financial documents (and virtually everything else short of his birth and police certificates) are currently in transit on their way to adriano in albania...the international express mail should take about 6 days, which means they *should* arrive on monday...hopefully, at that time, he can just walk over to the embassy and hand deliver (rather than mailing) it to speed things up a bit

best wishes!!

eek, I still have to gather some of my financial documents... but we don't need them till the interview, which is still months away, and since I'm self employed I'm hoping to get 2007's taxes into them. So I guess I shouldn't freak too much about that yet. (Actually working on taxes now... OCD)
6 days for express mail? That seems like such a long time!
Best wishes to you too! I can't wait till this is all done and not stressing me out anymore. blink.gif



6 days IS a longggg time for express mail...thats what my fiance gets for living in albania...oyy...yea the embassy in tirana is weird, because you have to mail in EVERYTHING...it sucks, because then it will almost always take longer to schedule an interview that way...the good thing is that everything is done now...all we have to do interview day is show up and hope for the best!

oh boy do i know the feeling...when i think of the last time that adriano and i seperated i start to cry...we were kissing and i was crying, he was trying to hold it in...as he began to walk away i said 'non partire!'

are you referring to the i-134? i think the one that i sentto adriano had the same date...i was confused, but that was the one on the official website, so i went with it...all of the other forms (ds230, ds156 and ds156k) have 2008 dates on them, and are thus not expired...my packet hasnt been mailed to the embassy yet, so i cant say what the result of all this will be...hopefully it works!!

i have also gathered all of the required documents on my end, and i mailed them to adriano today...they should arrive at his home in albania in about a week (yes, even express mail is THAT slow....unless i want to pay 150 bucks for fedex, i have to wait a week)...then we will FINALLY be sending in our packet 3...god i cannot wait for us to get that interview date...what a relief that will be!!!

oh ok, I was just asking as I had seen a few threads where folks said they were tracking on DHL. I thought it unlikely as I have never heard of this before and its way to close to being good customer service to give us access to where our petitions are. unsure.gif blush.gif wacko.gif


they dont give any tracking information out, but a couple of people have seemingly 'cracked the code' that nvc uses as their references when sending the packets to the embassies...the system was accurate in mine and many other cases, so i think its fairly reliable

if you go to the dhl website, you can go to the tracking section and choose to 'track by reference' and then you can enter a reference in this form: EXP 28 NOV 2007A

you then want to choose dates about a day or two before and after the day that the nvc said your package was sent to the embassy...if nvc told you that your packet was forwarded yesterday, you would put 'EXP 19 DEC 2007A' and choose the dates 12/18 to 12/20...it should show a package being shipped to the city of your embassy, the weights of each package vary depending on how many packets were in each

mine was alone, but im sure that packages going to the phillipines or china are much heavier

has anybody heard of the embassy sending out packet 3 before they recieve the hard copy of the petition? like, is it possible for them to send out packet 3 only possessing the electronic copy?

i've heard anything about electronic copies at all. Is it just certain embassys? maybe someone with experience can shed some light on situation.


well, the NVC sends the embassy an electronic copy of the petition and then they mail out the hardcopy

my question is whether or not the embassy will mail out packet 3 before they have received the hardcopy in the mail

cool, thank you smile.gif
that will be the USC who has to call and deal with that, right; I can't...?


i think you can call...once the petition reaches the nvc, they always ask for the beneficiary's information...so its all about you sistah...i would give it a whirl

We just recieved our NOA2 notification today....so Im here for help and the next step. How can I contact NVC to find out when they recieve our file? How long does it take from Vermont on average and how can I get my new case number? Has anyone attempted to contact their embassy in advance with the new case number to request an interview and packet three with provisional file made???

Thanks.


i just got my NOA2 on the 20th, and my docs are already on their way to the consulate (if they havent already arrived there). the NVC recieved my case 3 business days after my NOA2 and they forwarded it to the consulate two business days after they recieved it...SUPER FAST (too fast in my case, because they forwarded it to the wrong consulate, but ah well)

i would give the NVC a call tomorrow

hope that helps!!
