Help me out here people...maybe they teach math different in the Philippines but I count 45 days from when NVC got their case to when there case was complete....

Congrats though



No, you math is correct...I meant that ti took 4 days for DS230 to be recieved and approved. Which is the major portion of the NVC process.

NVC case completed in 4 days!! From the time they recieved the package until they completed it. Am now only waiting for appointment date for interview.

Check out our timeline...less that two and a half months from mailing of I130 until completed case at NVC. We are very lucky and very thankful for the speedy process.

I don't know what to tell you about your two vehicle issue. Only thin I may be able to tell you to to speak to an operator at NVC and ask them VERY specific questions.

Being a student does not categorize you as unemployed. Student IS your employment.

I wish I could be of more help to you, but would be interested to know your final results. Keep me posted.

Do you have to do that I-864..meaning perhaps you could have done teh I-854EZ. Do you exceed the 125% of teh poverty guidlines? If so, then you do not need to use any assets on the I-864EZ.

When i went to DMV they told me i can use my international driver's lisence that i got from the Phil.but after that i also took the test at DMV and i already have my driver's lisence.
Now i am reviewing for the board exam,i bought books for the USMLE,trying to review on my own first as what my friends here told me,then i will try to get in touch with a review center like Kaplan...
Teaching is good but then i'd rather work in a clinic or hospital setting,for the mean time i am enjoying myself as a housewife taking good care of my husband while he goes to work;glad he likes asian food...and of course trying to be patient waiting for the NVC to send my son's schehdule crying.gif ...we are asked for further documents that we're working on now. ...kinda depressing..


My wife is an IM. Can you offer us some detail about the USMLE?...from what we understand there are 3 steps. After passing the first...my wife would then be able to go into residency and complete Step2 and Step3 while in residency. Is this what you have been told?

She i studying now..as best she can; though it is difficult for her with trying to complete the VISA process.

Interesting about you MA attetmpts. I presume you mean NOT as a Physician Assistant, but as an actual MA...doing billing as stuff like that. Yes, in the States you need to have the respecitve cert or license now-a-days.

Have you tried teaching? at the college level. Surely with your MD you could teach A&P or biology, at the least. That is what we have spoke about and are looking into. Some college will hire MDs without a license to do research. Would like to know the specifics of what you have attempted.

Please, let me know.

Also. My wife's cousin own a travel agency, she said that Grace could drive on her Filipino license for a time. Did you look into that or were you told differently? She would get her driver's license soon after getting her.

You know all that I did(which i am sure everyone else is doing) is be VERY detail oriented. Read the instruction several times and I sent them all they asked for and them some. Even sent 150 photos to USCIS.

My wife did the same with her portion of the proces. Perhaps its related to my wife's career field, which is more likely.

I am a veteran and I even sent a copy of my DD214...don't think that was a facotr, but just maybe the application went across the desk of a veteran.

Thanks, I'm getting to k now how this works a lot better now it's just the tiny questions.

Thanks a lot,

The DS3032 Choice of Agent form is only filled out by the beneficiary. You should put the address where you would like the NVC to send all correspondence and fees related to your petition. They send a copy of the DS3032 to the petitioner. But this just shows what was sent to the beneficiary. Hope this helps!!


Save yourself ALOT of time and have the beneficiary send this form via email to NVC. Look for a template form on this site...fill the blanks using the beneficiairy's information and email it to the given email address. Will save you TONS of time.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresi think ill be stuck at NVC for 2 months or so..
ok:

if one files married, seperate the standard deduction is.....$5350

if one files married, joint the standard deduction is....$10,700

These are the amounts that can be deducted from the total income for the year. It dependes upon which tax bracket he would fall under, based upon his total income and then after dedcutions. Does not mean that he will pocket an extra $5350...the afore mentioned determines those totals.
He can file you and your child/children as exemption which would all be a tax credit.

I was in your position last tax year and I could not file jointly b/c no ITIN and no SSN yet, as my wife and child are not here yet. And this year I will have to do the same, still no ITIN and no SSN. So, I am sacrificing that money in order to have a simple processing of CR1 and also to NOT include my wife's income, which would throw us into a higher tax bracket and(potentially) have to pay more taxes.

I wish that I could give you a single "yes or no" answer...its such an individual choose and thoe factors change alot from person to person.

I think that if you want to process as quickly as possible through NVC and reunite with you hubby..just have him file his 2007 tax married yet seperate. But have him get the documents for the ITIN and process that on the side, unrelated to the the VISA process.
BooraiMalePhilippines2008-11-17 00:40:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresi think ill be stuck at NVC for 2 months or so..
Xylide:

not matter what he MUST file his 2007 tax returns. You will process no further without that.

How he decides file depends on what is important to the both of you.

Married but seperate will not require the ITIN and he can complete his 1040, mail it off, and await IRS response.

If filing married, joint..then you will have to process an ITIN and wait for that response once that number gets processed then he can file married/joint..but he would also need proof of your income from PI; if you have any. That will need to be added to his 1040, along with the ITIN, then he can send that to the IRS and wait for processing...then once he gets a response from teh IRS...his complete 1040 from them...he can then send that to NVC for AOS processing.

Depends on what is important to you.......the time or the money.

I hope it goes well for you.

But I think you bigger issue is the tardiness of him filing.

the tardiness of him filing his tax retursn, si what I mean. The IRS does not like tardiness with tax filings.

Take not offense to that; I would just not like to see you have to pay more to the IRS, because the tax returns are late.


he didnt file late..


not saying he file late, and im sure he did get both but you go back and ck or ask irs and you will prob see they amended the return within the system to not show jointly and he prob would have gotten letters explaining this at the time



Exactly, if filed before April 15th and filed joint...the IRS would have ammended to married seperat, spent the tax return check, and he woudl have gotten the ammended 1040A....that should be sufficient for NVC processing of AOS. Should be no problem, if this is the case.


no we didnt spent the money. a check was delivered to my MIL address like 2 months ago and it was still there until now. he cant do anything yet because he is deployed.. I will ask him to call IRS and clarify things as soon as he gets bank in the states..

and he did file his 2007 taxes using turbo tax, i was just relaying what i SAW on his tax return ..

AND NO HE IS NOT TARDY!! innocent.gif


sorry, i meant send, not spent, my poor typing.

I hope he is safe, wherever he is deployed. I am an Army Veteran myself. Serving during the Gulf War, in Somalia, and in Bosnia...then a humanitarian mission in Cuba.

i saw my hubby's tax return from turbo tax and it says that he filed married jointly even if i got denied of ITIN..


if u were denied number it may still read as originally sent but within the system it has been changed to reflect otherwise and if he was to get return it will be less than originally stated both federal and state returns



ya he got both federal and state tax return..

and he didnt FILE LATE...

Sorry, to tell you, but the IRS won't allow it..they will change it there.

But I think you bigger issue is the tardiness of him filing.



HUH was this necessary??? headbonk.gif


the tardiness of him filing his tax retursn, si what I mean. The IRS does not like tardiness with tax filings.

Take not offense to that; I would just not like to see you have to pay more to the IRS, because the tax returns are late.


he didnt file late..


not saying he file late, and im sure he did get both but you go back and ck or ask irs and you will prob see they amended the return within the system to not show jointly and he prob would have gotten letters explaining this at the time



Exactly, if filed before April 15th and filed joint...the IRS would have ammended to married seperat, spent the tax return check, and he woudl have gotten the ammended 1040A....that should be sufficient for NVC processing of AOS. Should be no problem, if this is the case.
