US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Vaccinations for the Medical	QUOTE (CarolineLovesPaul @ May 6 2008, 06:25 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hey guys. Just received the info to arrangement my medical and would like your thoughts on the vaccinations. Would you recommend having them done at your doctor's or wait for the medical? The costs look quite steep, in addition to the exorbitant bill for the check up, but it's not clear if all are required. I assume I'll be able to get confirmation of the ones I've had from my GP. But any further information would be appreciated. Cheers. Paul I dont know if this would help for you...but i called the doctor from that list and ask an appointment for the medical exam...then she said without question that i need to get two vaccinations (DiTe, MMR) before i go for the medical...so after when i took my HIV and syphillis test i called the doctor and ask a date for the medical. And then i got my HIV and syphillis test on tuesday, and wednesday morning i got my vaccinations and after i went to the doctor on the same day to get the medical... Best of luck	ldshgirl	Not Telling	0	2008-05-06 15:50:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Regarding RFE for K-1 Visa...	QUOTE (Scott & LC @ Sep 27 2008, 03:11 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hello everyone I was just wondering... we filed for K-1 Visa in June and we received the NOA1 on 24th June. So it's been 3 months now, the last time they touched our petition was 9th July and we haven't heard from the USCIS since. So I was wondering, how long does it take them to let you know about RFEs? 3 months have passed and we've got no news... so does that mean we've steered clear of RFEs? To those who have been issued RFEs, how long did it take for them to let you know? Hope someone can shed some light on this Thank you! Yeah, we were touched i think only twice before our NOA 2. So it doesen't mean that you'll get an RFE, they'll let you know just in time, and they will also let you know, why they gave it to you and what they need... So I would say, you guys are totally fine, and you don't have to worry about REF's... Best of Luck	ldshgirl	Not Telling	0	2008-09-27 17:07:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Entering on B1/B2 and getting married	QUOTE (Cham @ Sep 25 2008, 06:09 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If you enter the US on a b2 visa to get married I believe this is illigal... not sure...so anyone??? To enter to the States on the B2 visa and get married is illegal. But one of my friend just did it, and they are married like 7 years ago... she's still illegal and can not do what she really wants... they already has 2 kids and they was born in the US, so they can stay but there is still a chance that the gov will send her back to Hungary without her kids... :S So my advice is to do this K1, it is so much easier and it is worth it!!!!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	IR-1/CR-1 questions	Hello! I will apply for the IR1/CR1 visa for my wife of 4 years who lives in Hungary. I am a USC. I lived in Hungary from 2009-2011, and for one of those years I did not have an income, so there will be a one-year break in my tax information for the Affidavit of Support (I did not file taxes for 2010 because I had no income). Will this effect the Affidavit of Support because there will be a missing year, or can I simply give tax return information from the three previous years in which I actually filed taxes? Second, once I apply for the visa, can my wife come visit me with the Visa Waiver Program, or will this adversely affect the visa? Third, is a photocopy of the marriage certificate sufficient, or should I send them the original? Lastly, this visa includes issuance of Permanent Residency for my wife upon entry to the US, but I'm wondering if we will still have to pay the filing fee for an adjustment of status? To me right now it looks like the only fees are for the I-130 and the Affidavit of Support? Will there be an interview at the Embassy in Budapest for my wife to pay? Thank you all on this site for your wonderful help!	varuna	Male	Hungary	2011-07-06 13:49:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	I-130 questions...do I need this?	Hello! I am a USC. My wife and I were married in October, 2007 after the acceptance of a K-1 fiance visa. She adjusted her status and was issued a 2-year Green Card. We moved in 2009 to her country, Hungary, so I could study for 2 years. We missed the Removal of Conditions deadline (idiots...) so her Green Card is no longer valid. What I wonder is, must we now apply entirely from the beginning with I-130 (for which I assume we will be granted CR-1/IR-1 status so she will automatically get Permanent Residency upon entry to the US on this particular visa)? Is there any other option for us, since she's already had a Green Card and we've been married for more than 2 years? Since I established residency in her country, we could do Direct Consular Filing there, but the Embassy in Budapest will no longer accept form I-130 as of August of this year, and I am home now and cannot travel there so soon. If we must do this, then I have two questions about form I-130: First, #22: If we petition I-130 and it's accepted, she will receive Permanent Residency upon entry to the US. Should I enter "Budapest, Hungary" on the right side, or the American filing office on the left side? Second, part D number 2: We applied for and were granted the K-1 fiance visa, then AOS a few months later. I know the required info, but I'm not sure what to write about the "Result." We abandoned the Green Card, so should I state this? Or should I just state the K-1 was accepted? Third, I would like to fill in the I-130 with pdf on a computer, but I cannot fit all the full addresses of former employers. Are partial addresses OK, or should I fill this form in handwritten? Fourth, must we concurrently file I-485, or is this included in the filing of I-130? Thank you! Joseph	varuna	Male	Hungary	2011-07-15 14:52:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	G325a question re: address dates	Hello! On form G-325A under "Applicant's last address outside the US of more than 1 year," how can I enter a final date if you still live there?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Addendum needed for I-130 cover letter?/how much evidence of bona fide marriage needed?	Hello! I will briefly explain my situation, and I would like to know if an addendum to the I-130 cover letter would be needed to explain some things about our relationship. My wife is from Hungary and she came to the US on a K-1 visa in 2006, we married in 2007, and she received conditional LPR status. We basically abandoned the Green Card without removing conditions(though without filing the I-407, since we thought we would just wait it out and do DCF in Budapest. We moved there so I could study, and I finished my degree in June, but we could not afford the DCF at that time and as of August 15, 2011 the Embassy in Budapest will no longer accept I-130's...bad luck since I am back in the US now to work for the summer). Now I am finished with school and will start a proper job in September, 2011 and we are planning on IR-1 status since we've been married for 4 years come October. I'm wondering if the above information would be considered a problem in this petition process. Or does it look bad to admit that we had planned on losing the LPR status and trying again? Also, since we have been married for four years, will I still need to include many pieces of evidence of our relationship? I plan to have two Notarized letters from family members attesting to our relationship, as well as some photos and emails. We do not have a common bank account or any assets yet since we've lived out of the US for 2 years. The best I can come up with right now is our marriage certificate, letters, photos, emails, and an envelope or two with both of our names at the same address. Thank you all for your help!	varuna	Male	Hungary	2011-07-27 14:21:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	I-864 pay-stubs from one job, letter of employment from another?	Hello again! I will have a joint sponsor for my I-864 Affidavit of Support. In my own Affidavit, however, I will not have pay-stubs from my normal academic job starting in September of this year, but rather from my summer employment. Is this OK? Or should I just wait and see if after I petition with the I-130, perhaps by the time they need the I-864's I will have worked for three months at my normal job? Thank you!	varuna	Male	Hungary	2011-07-27 14:57:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	explanation letter needed for I-130?	Hello! Below you can read an explanation letter for the I-130, which I thought might help clear some things up. Is this letter necessary for our situation, and if so, is the format/wording appropriate? Thank you! Addendum to I-130 Cover Letter/Explanation of Case I, Joseph XXXX, being the Petitioner of this I-130, met Dora XXXX, the Beneficiary, in June of 2005. We began a romantic relationship shortly thereafter, and petitioned for the K-1 fiance visa on (date) which was granted on (date). We married on (date), at (address). Subsequently we applied for the Adjustment of Status and Dora XXXX was granted Legal Permanent Resident status on (date). We moved together to Budapest, Hungary in April/May of 2009, without removing conditions from Dora XXXX’s Legal Permanent Resident status, thereby effectively abandoning her status. We moved to Hungary so I, Joseph XXXX, could pursue a Masters degree from the Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest, Hungary. Though we have had every intention of settling in the United States upon completion of my degree, we moved to Hungary without removing conditions and had planned on re-applying with Direct Consular Filing at the United States embassy in Budapest. I have moved back to the United States since the US embassy in Budapest will no longer accept form I-130 effective August 15, 2011. Thank you for your attention to this petition. Respectfully submitted, Joseph XXXXX (address)	varuna	Male	Hungary	2011-08-05 14:44:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Enough evidence of bona fide marriage?	Hello! Below is a list of what I'm including as evidence of our bona fide marriage.

We never had a joint bank account unfortunately, but we filed taxes jointly. -emails dating back to 2004 -copies of mailed envelopes with both our names at the same address -an apartment rental agreement with both our names -US marriage certificate -tax transcripts for 2 years, Married Filing Jointly What do you think?
