I'm excited that a lot of January filers are getting their NOA2 at the moment.. Means that us February filers probably don't have to wait too much longer :)


Let's hope so! Think good thoughts February filers! :thumbs:

Man, how long does it take for them to generate the Agent of Choice thingy? I called again this morning and nothing. You don't have to talk to an operator do you?


Mine took about 20 days from the time the NVC gave it a case number to when the 3032 was generated. I could tell from the voice system - didn't have to speak to an operator. Hang in there. I saw some who took less time, and of course, some who took a bit more. It will come!!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresIn AP, not denied but please read and help if you can
Husbands interview was May18, 2009 Cairo Egypt

Bad news.. My income for 2008 was just under the required amount, even though it was brought to their attention that time was taken off for travel and also sickness.. and that this year, 2009 I will earn more with new job.
NVC did inform me that it was up to the Embassy to decide whether to look at 2009 income. A letter from new employer was also sent. The embassy says I need a co-sponsor for my husband. Problem is.. I do not have one. I wrote to my State Senator and just sent in the form allowing him to talk on my behalf.
I have not heard back yet .. but still praying..
He was given an AP paper and told to send required documents then wait for phone call.
Has anyone had this happen?

If in the end.. if the embassy refuses to consider 2009 income, will I be able to resubmit financial documents in January 2010 showing income for 2009.. also... will it have to be paid for again? Is there a time limit? Any help here would be appreciated. Lara and Mohamed

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresJOINT SPONSOR
Since being short on required income last year, though this years income is
clearly high enough and they dont care..
I have a few questions about JOINT SPONSORS.

1. DOES THE JOINT SPONSOR NEED TO LIVE IN THE SAME HOUSEHOLD?

2. IS THERE A DIFFERENT FORM THAT NEEDS TO BE FILLED OUT
BY THE JOINT SPONSOR OTHER THAN THE I-864a
( WHEN JOINT SPONSOR RESIDES IN A DIFFERENT HOME) ( IS A RELATIVE)

IF I DO NOT FIND A JOINT SPONSOR:
3. CAN I REFILE A NEW I-864 FINANCIAL AFFIDAVIT NEXT YEAR ( 2010)
TO SHOW HOW HIGH 2009 INCOME WILL BE?

ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!!

No, they do not need to live with you, be in the same city/state or even be a relative.

2. IS THERE A DIFFERENT FORM THAT NEEDS TO BE FILLED OUT

( WHEN JOINT SPONSOR RESIDES IN A DIFFERENT HOME) ( IS A RELATIVE)
Would complete the I-864 just like the Sponsor

If you mean to do so to aleviate any responsibility a co-sponsor would have - I do not believe this is possible.

Well, I don't know much about the joint sponsorship, but I know I didn't make enough last year either; I was unemployed for about 3 or 4 months out of the year, but I got a new job in May of that year. So I sent in my tax forms and a letter from my employer stating that with my new job, I would be meeting thier requirements. My I-864 was approved without a joint sponsor on my income alone (I also don't have ANYTHING in my savings accounts) AND I have a dependent (my 5 year old son whom I don't get support from his father). Like you, I am also applying for a CR-1 visa for my husband. So unless they've already rejected your I-864 or told you personally that you need a joint-sponsor, you might want to try it alone if you make enough with the job you have now. Hope this helps. Doesn't really answer your question regarding joint-sponsorship, but it might give you something to consider. smile.gif


I traveled alot in 2008... without pay and
MY husband had his interview May 18, they ask for joint sponsor
2008 income was just under the amount needed to do it alone
I sent in proof of current income 2009.. which is clearly high enough
they still ask for a joint sponsor

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresWhen 2 year is lifted on CR1 question
Ok folks.. My question is simple, when the 2 year condition is lifted, what all needs to be done.
On our paper work it says 3months prior to the 2 year anniversary the conditions will be lifted.
or to renew it.
Now... is it 2 years of his arrival date --- or 2 years from date on visa?
then
next question...
will we need to bring in tax documents again to show proof of income as
original filing? Or .. what? to renew it after the 2 years stated.

QUOTE (Jaiden @ Mar 7 2008, 07:59 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hi everybody!

I am struggling with the relationship proof affidavits for I-130. Do they have to be notarized? Has anybody successfully used non-notarized affidavits? Do they have to be notarized by an American notary? helpsmilie.gif

Thank you!



I was married to my wife in China on February 1, 2008. I had here get members of family to write affidavits, as well as others who attended the wedding. They were notarized by Chinese notary. I hsd some from people here in the U.S.complete letters too. they signed in front of notary here.
Is the notary required? Probably not, but what can it hurt! The people who know you and love you are willing to help. JUST be sure to have them include all the information, such as name, address, etc. on letter. Good luck!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresFinally....CR1 + K3 APPROVED on 05/08/2008
Today, I recieved an email notice that both I-129F and I-130 were approved! I know this is just another step, but I could not be any happier at this moment. We did not have any touches prior to this. The online case status was changed to APPROVED on both applications.
After reading the email that said the notice was mailed May 9th, I rushed to the post office to see if by some miracle the postal service had delivered the hard copy, but no luck. You can bet that I will be checking several times a day for the next few days.
Congratualtions to all the others who have recieved thier NOA2. For those of you who are still waiting, please have faith, do not lose hope!
My thoughts and prayers go out the victims of the earthquake in China. I pray that the loved ones and families of all those on VJ are safe.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresMix-up with NOA2 from USCIS?
I received in the mail on March 14th our NOA2 with a Notice date of March 6, 2007 (saying our petition has been approved). I have been calling the National Visa Center to see if they have assigned us a case number, but still nothing as of today. Then tonight I received an email from the CSC saying they approved our petition and sent us our NOA2 in the mail on March 27th. We have already received our NOA2 in the mail! Are they sending us another one? Our on-line account has finally been updated today saying we were approved and the last touch was on March 28th.

I don't understand, especially why the dates do not match up. And we still do not have a case number from the NVC. I guess we just keep on waiting... :huh:

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion on requirements for Part 2 of DS230
My wife is from the Philippines so we have to send in Part 2 of her DS230 to the NVC along with all attached requirements. One of the requirements asked for is a copy of her passport. Does anyone know if her new married name needs to be changed on the passport before we send in the DS230? (we filled her 1-130 with her new married name) Or does she just need to change her name before her interview?

For those also from the Philippines...NSO is taking quite a long time to send us the certified Marriage Certificate and Birth Certificate (we sent a request in sometime in mid-February and still haven't received anything). We would like to send in our DS230 as soon as we receive the NSO documents and don't want to waste anymore time going to the CFO and applying for an amendment to her passport if possible. Also, do I (the foreign spouse) need to be present for my wife's CFO seminar?

Thanks for all your help.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedureshelp please with NOA1 number
Just try calling USCIS and have them transfer you to an immigration officer. Tell them your check has been cashed, but you cant read the the receipt number on the back of it. The immigration officer will look up your name and give you your case number. Just be patient because we were put on hold for about 45 minutes before we were able to talk to an officer.

Thats what we did to get our case number, because we also couldn't read the number on the back of our cashed check (and we still have not received our NOA1 in the mail). The officer was surprisingly very friendly. Just make sure they hear you clearly in the way you spell your name. If one letter is off your information will not come up.

Good luck

GORISIKH,

Good question about weather to send in a I-129F for a K3 visa or just wait out the I-130 Petition. We are in the same situation. From all the information I have seen, it really seems to be mixed bag. Some people are having their I-130 processed really fast (6 months until visa is issued) and others seem to have to wait an extremely long time. I just looked at the timeline on this site and it said on average it will take over 250 days from the time your NOA2 is received until you get the actual visa. It probably wouldn't hurt to just send in the I-129F petition, just in case INS looses something with your I-130 or there is a hold-up with it for some reason. The only downfall to sending in the I-129F, it seems, is the additional application fee you have to pay. Otherwise, it seems like it makes a lot of sense to send it in, especially if you are in a rush. Two seems better than one to me.

We haven't yet filed our I-129F because for some reason USCIS either lost or never sent us in the mail our NOA1 receipt. We were able to get our receipt number from the back of the cashed check and with the help of an immigration officer (over the phone). However, we still to this day have not received the NOA1 in the mail and they said it may take 40 to 60 days for them to send out another one. We can not file the I-129F until we have the physical NOA1 to send in a copy with our petition. The immigration officer said he wouldn't advise sending in the I-129F without a copy of the NOA1. It really sucks. So, depending on when we receive the NOA1 in the mail we not not even file for the K3 visa, because our I-130 may be pushing along. We will have to see where we are at when that happens. Any thoughts on this?

I would love to hear other comments on the topic. Good luck!

Jacob

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresHELP!!!- After being married here, my wife left U.S. BEFORE we applied for AOS. To return, is K-3 ONLY option now? (cross-post)
HELP!!!- After we were married here in the U.S., my wife left the country on 12/29, BEFORE we applied for her AOS, to attend to "problems" back home. There was no REAL medical-like emergency, though. Of course she was on a single entry K-1 visa. Although I educated her about the consequences of leaving (such as the fact that we would probably have to go through THE WHOLE K-3 visa process), she was in panic mode and left anyway. This was clearly a rash decision that I protested vehemently, which she now SEVERELY regrets. Panic is over, and she is stuck back in Russia separated from me AGAIN, and we are both miserable about it. We on this list all know that the K-3 visa process will take at least as long as the original K-1 did. Does ANYONE know of any way to get USCIS to renew visa for another entry WITHOUT having to go through the ENTIRE K-3 process???
ANYONE with ANY ideas, please respond!!!
Totally vexed, heartbroken and lonely again.
