hi xlyide in our case after i mail our additional docs, i called ACS to confirm if they got it, and they said yes...
i received my son's crba/ passport exactly 4 weeks after our appointment.. i didnt text delbros, it was air 21 who delivered my son's passport..


the CO told me that i can just mail the addt'l docs or drop it off but i decided to just bring it personally,so when i got there the lady at the window D told me that its just a drop off and i have to leave my hubby's passport but i told her that i want to talk with the examiner! but to my surprise, another CO called me and asked me same questions as what i had on our interview.. but thank god he said "OK" then he handed me my hubby's passport but did not tell me when i should received the crba and passport


im positive know you will get it soon! good.gif

coz if something is missing they will surely inform you smile.gif

noong nka usap ko sa phone na pre screener, sabi ko mam ok na ba yong sinubmit kung docs, she said we will review it, din kung may kulang is tatawagan nila ako, eh wla namang tumawag so nag antay nlng ako until may kumatok nga sa door namin na taga air 21....

ok na yun dont worry!!!


i hope to receive it this month coz im going apply her sscard also..but im worried that i wont get it this dec. coz of the long vacation di ba? i read on some members crba journey they received theirs 1 week,2,3 and urs is 4 weeks..

Hello,
We just had our appointment last Nov. 26 at the embassy for my son's passport. My son is 1 month old only and his birth certificate was released last Nov. 28. The consul ask his birth certificate and my hubby old passport so i just drop off the additional documents last tuesday Dec. 2. I ask the consul it takes 2-3 weeks to deliver the passport. I'm just curious why you took so long to sent the additional documents? And why your papers stuck at the NVC. tnx


the consul asked for his school transcript and since his mom passed away,he didn't know where his school things are coz he moved after he graduated..so i told him just send his old and new passport and he was busy at work and got some problems that caused the delay of him sending it..
i just said that ill be stuck at NVC coz he's going to file his tax for my AOS,and to file it he needs my ITIN,and it will take 4-6 weeks before he gets it... so its like ITIN then TAX and AOS then COMPLETE!!:D

anyways about your question. if you wanted to pursue IR1 be sure during the interview that its already after your second anniv. so they will give you an IR1 visa instead of CR1..


happy naman ako..hehe she can go now!hehe
do u think i still can get 10 yr. green card even i get CR1 visa then my POE is after our wedding anniversary??



i dont think so.. ive read several post about entering on their 2nd anniv but at the POE she was still given a 2 year conditional green card...
search the topic in here maybe you will find the thread and you will know what im talking about..

if i will have interview when he is here,that would be after our 2nd yr.we want to pick up the visa so we can go with him..
if he is not here,interview would be prior to our 2nd yr. so we will just wait for the visa and not to pick it up anymore..

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresjust wondering..
hello everyone,

since my husband hasn't send my aos to nvc yet due to his tax,and he is going to file it next year when he gets my w7 for my itin,once he sent it my case would be done and just wait for my interview and everything..

i am planning to leave after our 2nd anniv. on july 30th next yr. to get 10 yr. green card(hopefully) and he will come here to pick us and to have vaccation also,he will stay here maybe for 3 weeks..
so its okay to me now for my case to finish even the first quarter of next year as long as i can get an interview before he comes here on july 09..

i was thinking of which is better,
1. to have my interview before he gets here or 2. have my interview when he is here?
if i will have my interview when he is here, is it possible to request for visa pick up at the embassy?

what are the pros and cons?

pls enlighten me guys..

thank u so much

Hello

You write or fill in 'applied for' where her SSN or ITIN would go. You need to attach the W-7 application together with your tax return.

I'm an international tax specialist, and deal with these daily.

Hope that helps,

hello

so if my husband will file his tax with my w-7, will they process it now so he can get the was it transcript? so he can send it to NVC.. or they will process my ITIN first before they process his tax return?

My baby is eligible to become a USC but I have not had the chance to do so as Wife and Child are in Japan.

For this reason, I know my wife needs an ITIN until we get her SSN after her visa is approved but...

for the baby, the baby is 6 months old and has only Japanese passport - should I get an ITIN for her?

She is eligible to be a USC but I have yet to go to the Embassy in Tokyo to officially make her one.

Do I file ITIN for baby?

IRS accepted my wifes W7 but not my stepchilds.


what are the documents ur wife sent with her W7?

i only sent him notarized photocopy of my passport,and just notarized here at a public notary..

now, he is about to file his 07 and 08 tax with my W-7..i sent him just a notarized photocopy of my passport..
i read on some post that W-7 should be mailed to process the ITIN and then the return will be processed..
if im correct,it would take 4-8 weeks?? he needs it asap to be able to send it to NVC..

-for his 07, can he just file it separate so no need for ITIN? so he can send his AOS to NVC? and for 08,can he just file for extension and file it when i get to US and have my SSN?

i really need advice


Have your husband take the W-7 and both the 07 and 08 returns to his local service center. They will accept both returns and the w-7 and stamp and make copies. He can then send copies of the copies . You dont need to offically get the ITIN before the return is filed.


that'd help.. thank you..

So does one have to state the fact that the 2-year anniversary occured at the US Entry to qualify for the IR1 status instead of the CR1? Or at interview? Or after getting the CR1 visa and converting it to IR1 after entry to US?



In case you have celebrated your second anniversary before POE and have CR1 visa, you should point this out to the officers at POE. They are supposed to change your status from CR1 to IR1 and your GC should be unconditional. However, it happened to some people on this forum, including myself, that POE officers did not want to change the status, so a conditional GC was issued.

Just remember that you are entitled to unconditional GC if you are admitted after the second anniversary regardless of visa category.


what if your POE was 2 days or a week after ur anniversary?


Same thing, your GC should be unconditional. The law clearly defines second anniversary, it does not mention 2 days after anniversary or 7 days after anniversary. There is only "before" and "after" that counts.


if given 2 year greencard, is it considered LPR?
