IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	we got approved!!	QUOTE (SraCastillo @ Apr 16 2009, 02:51 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> For those who remeber me my husband and i got approved on April 13th, 2009 and today he got his passport. the interview was a breeze we were only asked general questions and one important one which was how a girl from brooklyn ended up with a guy from DR? other than that it was the generic questions such as when how we met and if we were married before or had kids. my husband got his passport today and the only strange thing is that on the visa stamp it says IR1 and we tought we were going to get CR1 instead because we still haven't reach our 2 year anniversary. is it common that even though you are CR1 on the stamp says IR1? Why you don´t write to them so you can find out before taking any decision about traveling and getting air ticket? If the Consulate printed it by mistake, they can reprint it and you wouldn´t have to pay anything. It was their mistake. I am advising you because a couple of years ago they printed my gender wrong on my B1/B2 visa, and I asked to them to correct it. PM I can give you a phone number where you can call and do an inquiry about this and request to have it corrected in case there is a real mistake there. Congratulations, very happy for you both.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	K-3 vs. CR-1 for fastest entry	QUOTE (marends @ Dec 23 2008, 02:12 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My Chinese fiancee and I were previously approved for a K-1, but unfortunately she couldn't come. We got a 6-month extension, but still she was unable to come (family issues). When we requested a second extension, Guangzhou said "Sorry, you'll have to apply for a new visa." So now we've decided to just get married in China, and we're debating whether to do a K-3 or a CR-1. Question: Which is faster to gain entry into the U.S.? I understand that we'll have to adjust status, etc., with a K-3 once she's here, whereas adjustment isn't necessary with the CR-1, but for us the extra time once she's here for AOS, green card, SSN, etc., doesn't really matter because we'll at least be together for all of that. The most important thing is to finally be together as soon as possible. So which is faster for entry, a K-3 or a CR-1? Many thanks. I've also posted this topic on CandleForLove. If I were you I would file for a CR-1, K3 is faster but then the AOS takes some time. I didn't know about the CR-1 before we were approved because I didn't read enough here	R de la R	Female	Dominican Republic	2008-12-23 13:18:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Question about visiting my wife in Philippines	QUOTE (ShdwKnght @ Mar 17 2008, 10:03 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hello, I have a question about something that I have seen mentioned once or twice. Is there a rule that I have to have visited my wife in the past 2 years, and if there is, and I have not, will it count against me in the visa process? A little background: We met on the internet in June 2004. I went to the Philippines in November of 2004 for a 10 day visit to meet her in person for the first time. I decided then that I wanted to marry this woman and be with her. So, in January of 2005, after giving a 1 month notice, I left my job, and moved to the Philippines on Feb 2, 2004. She had found an apartment for us, and was waiting for me. After getting there, I received my retirement disbursement, not a lot, but I figured it should be enough to last us for at least a year. I thought I would be bringing her back with me. (How little I knew). I paid one years rent on the apartment, 1 year on the cable TV and the cable internet. We were married on May 25, 2005. It was about that time that I found this site. I knew absolutely nothing about the visa process. I learned about the affidavit of support, and knew that I would need to be working when I filed for the visa. So, September 28th, 2005, I kissed my wife at the airport, and with tears in my eyes, watched her ride away as I walked into the terminal, and the flight back to the US. I figured with 10 years at my old job, and leaving on very good terms, I would come back here and go right back to work. I was wrong (again). There were no openings there, so no way they could hire me back right away. I applied for jobs at other places within my field, and while waiting for those, just to have some money coming in, I took a job at a fast food restaurant making a little over minimum wage. So I was nowhere near the 125% above the poverty level line. I decided after 2 months (this was around Christmas time 2005) that I would put in for training as an Asst Manager there, as no one in my field was hiring at Christmas time, and it would mean a couple of extra dollars. Now, while this was going on here, my wife was in school there, so I was still her only means of support. Well, to make a long story short (ok, maybe not short, just not as long) it was September 2006 before I finally got my old job back. The only catch was, I had to start as a new employee, making the new employee rate. So far, at this point in the story, it has been 1 year since I left, and no return trip yet. We were talking on Yahoo everyday, from the time I got home until time for one of us to sleep. The computers and web cams were never off. As you can guess, I have had to build my vacation time back up, and I am finally getting close to what I was making before I left. But, in that time, prices for everything else have also gone way up, including air fares. Every time I think I have saved up enough to finally go visit her again, something else comes up, and there goes that money. It is very frustrating for both of us. I have also been trying to save enough so that when she gets here, we can find our own apartment, buy furniture and all those other things we need for day to day living. Plus all the costs that are associated with the visa process. I plan to be there for her interview, and then she will just fly here, and I will meet her at the POA. So we are looking at around $2500 -$3000 for those flights alone. So, the basic question is: is it going to hurt us that I have not been back yet? Or, should I just bite the bullet and go? I really do miss her, and seeing her everyday on Yahoo just makes me miss her more. Believe me, I wish I could visit her on all my days off, or at least at Christmas and her birthdays. Rick You made a mistake quitting your job without asking first the procedures for having your wife with you. My best advise to you is try to get money and go to visit that woman as soon as possible or you will get in trouble. Forget about saving money for the future for buying house stuffs for the house, give your love to her now not later on. Take that plane and go to visit her. Try to get a flight during the week let´s say on Wednesday they are cheaper than over the weekend. Good Luck!!!!!!!!!	R de la R	Female	Dominican Republic	2008-03-17 21:43:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	K-! approved!!!!	QUOTE (EdwinandMary @ Mar 8 2008, 03:38 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The interview was rather easy with me being there. The interview began by asking me if I knew English and what i did for a living. Then the gentleman (an American fully capable of speaking Spanish) asked me to leave so he asked Mary more question. Mary freak out and didn't want me to leave, but i had too. He asked her how we meet, and gave her a test with photos that i submitted with the I-129f petition. he asked her when and where was the photo's taken of us. After that, they told her to call me, and when i arrived the gentlemen told us we passed. The whole interview took about 10 minutes. The visa was given to us the next day. Thank God, the that visa process is over. Now the Battle with the Carta Blanca, We submitted all the papers for the on Tuesday at the office of immigration, they said they don't see a problem, and the Carta Blanca should arrived in 5-10 days. We are very happy, I bought the plane tickets to leave already. Just waiting for that Carta Blanca. I really couldn't do this without the support of Mary, our families, and the VJ friends. Thanks alot guys....Edwin&Mary Ahora yo tengo todo que yo amo...... Congratulations !!!!!! Good Luck	R de la R	Female	Dominican Republic	2008-03-08 20:28:00
