Uh-oh! I wish you send them the checklist highlighting where it mentions only needs to be filled if different.

 

They sent me checklist for the exact same thing. When I called they said you must fill it in leave no blanks. Can't believe they cost me another 30 days for something so stupid.

I always get stuck with the bad ones, Haven't gotten any of the helpful ones as of yet :-(

 

 I had Mike today, I got the stern "Wait 30 business days" and nothing more.

It would likely be faster to move an elephant to the US compared to a human! I love that everyone is bringing their pets. When I moved to the US, I brought my Border collie with me. There is no way that I could leave her behind. She was only 7 months and it was harder on me than it was on her. We had to go Dublin to Chicago and on to Dallas/Fort Worth. They lost her in Chicago! I should have claimed her as over-sized baggage and checked her in for the DFW flight but they couldn't find her. Finally after me totally flipping out, they found her in cargo but that poor dog was crated for 21 hours total and I didn't get to see her until I landed in DFW. I remember getting her out in DFW and laying newspapers on the floor of the airport and she squatted and peed and peed and peed some more. She was so relieved, poor baby!

 

That's awful. We will be driving with the bird from Toronto to Florida. It should be interesting but I can't wait. I am beginning to wonder if it will ever happen. This process has been going on since March 26th, 2013. We are at the mercey of the NVC.

Hah! My husband has a blue and gold Macaw Parrott he is bringing to the U.S. with him when he comes. We applied for the birds "Visa" last month to import him and he has his visa already. I hope it doesn't expire before my husband gets his:(

I am writing a employment verification letter for my husband to take to his interview and have it signed by my boss. can someone tell me who i address it to? To whom it may concern?? or u.s embassy Montreal?

Well, I have sent all my husbands court records which we got the checklist for but we are still waiting for his LONG FORM birth certificate from Thunderbay. I sent a letter to NVC that we have ordered the birth cert. and to please complete our case and that we will bring the birth cert. to our interview. I even sent a letter from Service Ontario that the birth cert had been ordered. Saylin do you think they will move forward or will they require the cert. before they will schedule our interview in Montreal?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - March 2014

We are still waiting for our court records... The problem is none of the courts have the records anymore. These charges on my husbands record are old, I mean the most recent was 14 years ago and they are stupid little charges. I have two letters so far stating that his records have been destroyed and they are certified from the court. Will this be enough?? HELP.

So, we are still waiting for court documents from Orangeville and Brampton Ontario Canada for our checklist. I am so desperate I texted Mayor Rob Ford for his assistance.

Yes.  If the person was not required to file then they need to include a letter stating why they were not required for file (made under the amount, were unemployed, in school etc...) 

 

 

They use an electronic fingerprint system.  

 

If he was convicted he will also need the court records, not just the fingerprint records. 


BTW each police check is different.  The one I got from the RCMP looks different than ones people have obtained from commissionaires. 


 

We have all his court records and his police certificate. I read that they will fingerprint him at the consulate. Is this correct?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - April 2014

Ok, I have questions. Do they fingerprint you at your interview??? Ok, next question. Saylin the police cert I am sure you are familiar with in Canada are on a long yellow form. Well back when my husband was told at the border that he needed a waiver to visit the US I think that all that came up on their screen was that he had a assault charge. They had no way of knowing what kind of assault because on the yellow form all it says is assault. But when he applied for the waiver he had fingerprinting done and a more detailed report he received that stated it was assault 266cc which is simple assault which is why he was granted the waiver . I just read that as a general rule, simple assault or battery is not deemed to involve moral turpitude for purposes of the immigration laws. So this is giving me hope that we will not be denied a visa at our interview. If they see it was just a simple assault and not a crime of moral turpitude how could they ask us to get a waiver. I wish i could get answers. I am not sleeping well at all.

I am going to Montreal to be with my husband for the interview. Is it better for me to stay at the hotel or go into the interview with him. I am super nervous but don't want him to mess anything up paperwork wise.

We have our interview scheduled for May 21st. The operator told me I will need to bring updated I-864 for 2013 and my transcript. I filed as Head of household for 2013 because I am the head of household my husband did not live with me in 2013 and I am a single mother to my son. Is this going to be a issue at the interview?

I called the NVC on March 7, I think it was...and was told by a very nice lady that the Case Complete was actually on 3/5. 

 

The next thing we got was the email of 3/10 saying that they'd "completed the domestic processing" and gave in the same email the interview date of 4/15.

 

I was stunned and happy, because I'd expected it to take longer to get an interview. 4 more days to go to the interview...!

 

wow, it only took 5 days from case complete until you had your interview scheduled. That's amazing! Tomorrow will be 5 days for us.

Only when going through this process is a situation where one dreads weekends and holidays, especially federal holidays..... :crying:  :goofy:  And where we are anxious to spend money on paying a bill.....!

 

I see you got your case complete email on 3/10. Was your interview date in that email or did it come later or by calling the NVC??

guys, I know this is beating a dead horse.... but I am on hold with NVC right now.. I want to verify the line item that is supposed to be used for the AOS .    Line 22 is my TOTAL income.. Correct?   My Friggin lawyer is using AGI.... which I know is INCORRECT...  Before he sends out the package, I want to call him again and insist he use the TOTAL income as per the NVC instructions.     He keeps telling me as long as the number is greater than the Poverty level for a family of 4, they won't kick it back.  I barely slept last night because I am so worried I'll get a checklist...  

 

 

Opinions please....  I know I'm probably koo koo for cocoa puffs for worrying  but I really can't take this stress. The lawyer needs to do this correctly . ####### did we pay him for?? 

 

Your lawyer sounds like a idiot. If numbers are not correct they will kick it back you know this and I know this. I am surprised he doesn't know this.

Just got off the phone with NVC. Case Complete as of yesterday. OH, thank God....  I have seen some other Montreal people on here say they have a interview scheduled for May 21. Does anyone know if they usually do all interviews on the same day??? Is there a good chance we will be scheduled for this day as well??

I got the same message as well. It didn't say it was transferred to NVC. But it did say at the end : For approved applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include USCIS sending notification of the approved application/petition to the National Visa Center or the Department of State.

 

I think once we receive the hardcopy it should have more information on it.

 

I thought for sure our petitions would have been approved the same time. I got transfer email on the 12th as well and my date on notice was nov15. still waiting.

Ok, just an update, I was sent an RFE on the 13th. They requested a g-325a and passport photo for myself (not sure what happened to the 1st ones sent last march). Also they requested the translation page of the wedding certificate, and copy of the divorce decree with judge's signature (original divorce info was just a copy of the case record from the public case info website).

 

I mailed all the info back to them, plus a sent a ton (well 35 or so) of photo print outs of our wedding ceremony, and pictures of us together from my visits this year and last. I'll keep the thread updated so we can see how long they are taking to re-visit a case after an RFE is responded to. Thanks all! Hang in there everyone!

 

 

 

why did they want g-325a that wasn't on the list was it?

Will we ever be approved?? I believe we filed our petitions at the worst possible time fellow March filers. The Dream Act which allowed illegal's to file for status got us all backed up. USCIS should of had them file a different petition other than the I-130. It is not fair!

aptiger I think our files are glued together, mine was transferred to the CSC and touched on the exact same days as yours...here's hoping we hear something soon!

 

Parrish 77?  I was recently sent to CSC on Nov 13. It looks as though they are moving pretty fast. Was your application pretty right on? I think I may have made a mistake where it says list all relatives and their relationship. Well I listed my husbands relatives but I wrote step-son and step-daughter instead of just son and daughter. I thought they wanted their relationship to me. DAH! So stupid now that I think about it.

found this on USCIS Processing Page today.

Read the email from USCIS field office director:
THE REASON WHY IT IS TAKING SO LONG TO GET I130 APPROVAL IS DUE TO DACA (deffered action for illegal immigrants). WE ARE SUFFERING FOR TRYING TO DO THINGS THE LEGAL WAY. PLEASE SPREAD THE WORDS AND TAKE
ACTION. EMAIL YOUR CONGRESSMEN AND STAY ACTIVE. THAT IS THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE CHANGES.

Please see the following information which describes the workload shift from the NBC to the field. NBC is seeking to bring on additional staff to assist with their increased workload due to DACA.

When I asked this, I meant to ask:
Of the ppl, with a pd of march 21 - 29, who have already been transferred, who has the USC living inside of the US? It seemed like anyone already transferred, with a pd of after march 21, has the USC maybe not living Stateside. ??
Sorry if my previous post was too vague.

 

Our PD is March 26th and have yet to be transferred. My husband is living outside the US in Toronto Canada. I just called USCIS a few min ago and they gave me same story processing Oct 2012 applications. So frustrating....

I just filled out a request. I picked Non delivery of ASC appointment notice, and in the text I just said I haven't received anything but transfer notices, and asked if there is anything that can be done to move the process along to an approval or resolution, just playing dumb smile.png I'm sure they will ignore it, but figured trying to poke them with a stick might help somehow. 

 

I just did same thing last night. We will see....
