IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedurescr 1/ir 1 help

This bit I misread and was not in the OP.

Even if your country accepted DCF, you would not be eligible.

Thanks Harpa for making me go back and re-read.


However, with that said. Your husband will file Form I-130 in the U.S. and eventually you will go for an interview in your country at the Embassy.

If the U.S. Embassy in Bahrain permits DCF then the entire process will take place within the country you currently reside. You will submit the I-130 to the U.S. Embassy in Bahrain and the processing of the application will take place at the Embassy in Bahrain with some backwards/forwards with the DHS here in the U.S.-- the interview will take place at the U.S. Embassy in Bahrain.

After the interview at the Embassy, you will hand them your passport and it will be returned to you with you CR-1 visa inside, you may then use this to enter the U.S. and you will become a PR upon entry. DCF is usually a much quicker process than the standard I-130 petition.

hi , is that true if the relatives or beneficiary is working abroad or outside his designated country .and they got married in the beneficiary country .

they should file a cr1 in beneficiary place where there is us embassy ? is the processing of visa will be in be in the beneficiary place even the interviews?or.


What I believe you are referring to is DCF (Direct Consular Filing) and while this is possible, I believe it only applies when both the beneficiary *and* petitioner reside within the foreign country. If you just visited to get married and will return home, then DCF does not apply to you, you will file the I-130 to the correct address stated in the instructions to the Form.

I am sure he is just fine Sarah, but I would be worried if Rich was anywhere near a hurricane too! When do you think he will be able to get over here?

Congrats Arnt!

Chasnik, I can't believe you still don't have a NOA2. Unbelievable. I guess I haven't been back to the January filers thread in awhile. Make sure to let us all know when it finally arrives!

Congratulations to everyone that has had interview success so far! I missed the January thread:)

Our interview is on Friday and I am praying it all goes well. I keep picturing Rich leaving his big folder of papers on the tube!



Just make sure you give him a strongly worded warning about calling you BEFORE he rips open the mailing for the Embassy after he gets APPROVED on Friday! There seems to be an epidemic (well, where epidemic = 2) of british boys going blind to words like "do not open" stamped on envelopes! :blush:


Oh I have warned him a hundred times about the brown envelope. I think he gets the point! How long before Tim gets his back from the embassy?

I CANNOT believe you guys are still waiting for your NOA2's! I haven't checked in awhile and I am surprised and dissapointed for you FutureMrs, Skymas and Len&how.

I will keep checking in and I will definitely keep sending good thoughts your way. It could be any of us stuck in this "black hole" so I really feel for you. :thumbs:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJanuary Filers

So I finally received news via snail mail from USCIS, it's an RFE. Not a big deal though, they are requesting Marlon's divorce decree that I had already submitted. I will pop it in the mail tomorrow. I called Marlon and of course he HAD to ask me if I submitted it with the petition and I was like yes I did! lol I had to explain to him that sometimes they ask for documents that they already have. I'm just glad I finally heard something! lol I was a tad bit disappointed but hey, that's all they asked for! I won't let it ruin my big day today!


Bummer, FutureMrs, but you have the best attitude! I would be so annoyed if they asked for something I'd already sent. Congrats on your graduation day:)

Hi Everybody!

I woke up to a new day and as always, I checked our case status first thing in the morning...

And we got TOUCHED!!!!

Yippee! I know it might take a few days or weeks before we get approved (hoping for no RFE), but it is such a great feeling to know something is going on with our petition. I can't help smiling and being happy :D

I hope this will be another great week full of approvals!! Good luck to all of you :thumbs:



That is awesome! You guys will all be approved soon. I'll keep checking progress here but make sure to let everyone know when you finally get those NOA2's. It could easily be any of us still waiting so I feel for ya. Hang in there :thumbs:

I was touched on the 26th of April. I called USCIS today and the young lady I spoke to on the phone basically said that my application was still pending that that it may take upto six months!! :blink:

I tried that route of wanting to change address; but she was not able to help.

I'm hoping for approval BEFORE the six months she so casually mentioned!!



Another 6 months my ###!! Why don't they try waiting 6 months!

Ooh, that makes me angry :angry:

Well guys, I'm gonna be positive here and believe that those of us with two touches have been approved and its on the way in the mail! I can't believe the upgrade has to happen now, just when we need an email the most. Although hopefully it will be fixed for the rest of you guys!

I was wondering that myself. I got two touches in a row and so far nothing today. I hope they've all been approved and just being snail mailed. I hope so! Although it would be a relief to stop obsessively checking email...

I can't believe this! I stayed off the computer for almost a whole week and still there is nothing. Now I'm reading that there might be another 45 days or so before anything happens?? This is so frustrating, especially when you think you are getting close to an NOA2.

Aaahhhhh!

Just enrolled to they gym, this should help me in the stress relief department. And also keep me away from the uscis site for a few hours of the day ;)

What do all you do to try to keep your minds off the wait? I need some ideas, this is just getting to stressfull. It is crunchtime.


I just joined the gym too Lucho! Maybe the waiting is so we can get hard bodies!! My parents are visiting for the next week so I am hoping they will take my mind off the NOA2.

Yes the SO visit definitly helps the obsessive checking... AND my obsessive VJing :) I've only been on to both sites 3 times or so since the 9th when my SO got here :)


Hmm, maybe something is really wrong with me! I am with my fiance in England and I still obsess over the NOA2. I don't like to think about how obsessed I would really be if we were apart like most of you guys. Lets all keep positive, we'll all have our NOA2s soon:)

I am glad this thread has gotten back on track. So far its been really good for keeping your chin up. I'm so excited!

By the way Stereodevil, I think you have been very helpful and I don't think your comment about Canada was rude or arrogant either. If Fukarse thinks it or any other country is better then he should take off. Its so easy to be a huge jerk and hide behind your username, isn't it?

Go January!
