IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresPASSPORT EXPIRY GUID

what about my old passport as i send copies of old passport ,when i will appear for interview in embassy ,i will have 2 passports.Do u think that new passport will not create any problem for me .Plz help me


you should go and get your new passport ASAP. I had this same problem. If your case is still in USCIS, you can send new passport copy to them, if its in NVC then send new copy to NVC and If its already completed and you are waiting for your interview, just take it to interview as you wont get visa as your passport will expire in less than six months.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresInterview date assigned

Hi Vj's
first of all I would like to thank for all the help i got from this site and those meambers who are very helpfull.

I got my Interview date on 4thof Oct here in Bahrain ,
My question is do i need to call the embassy here to find out if they receive my papers ? or wait for their call?(USEM Bahrain) or i will go on the said interview date?

One more thing is How could i find out if the papers are with them?

Your response is hearty appreciated

Many Thanks and Good luck to all of us!

You can call NVC and ask them if they have shipped your file already. I dont think that Embassy will call you unless they need some more documents or there is something wrong. Best of luck for your interview. :thumbs:

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresNVC sent case to embassy, but no interview date yet.

Also, if a case is expedited, shouldn't we get an e-mail from NVC stating that our case was approved for expediting?

I guess you should receive confirmation email from NVC. But one thing i know is that if the case is expedited, you have to schedule the interview by yourself. just call NVC.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCopy of form DS230 in Interview

Hello,

My wife who is the beneficiary has already gotten her interview date. I read at http://photos.state....cket 4 Info.pdf that she needs to take a copy of DS230 form along with her during the interview.

The problem is that when we submitted this form to NVC, we forgot to make a copy of it. What should we do now? I am guessing that the officer during the interview should have the original form for her to sign, and the copy might not be required. But, I am not sure and don't want to take any risk.

Two questions:
1) Is the link above valid and shows an absolute list of all the documents that she needs to take during the interview? Is there anything else besides what is listed that she should take with her?
2) How can we obtain the copy of the DS230 form that we have already submitted?

Any guidance will be much appreciated.

Thank you!


First of all, i wish you wife very good luck for the interview. Secondly, Once you receive packet 4 from NVC, their will be a list of documents needed at the time of interview. I dont think that you will require copy of it. If you still want the copy of DS 230, just print out a new one.

I don't think that you will be able to obtain the copy of DS-230 from anywhere and your file might be on the way to embassy at this time.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresThird time I have posted this question.

thank you soo much
ah nice so if the Email template it doesnot require any signature and it goes via beneficiary Email i think it's faster way ...i just need to make sure i send it correctly to this Email: NVCInquiry@state.gov
there is no problm if i just copy and paste the Email template with no big change In the expression ?


First make sure that you call NVC first and give them beneficiary email address. There wont be any problem copying template. Just make sure that your information is correct. Dont forget to put beneficiary's complete name and case number in subject line.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresThird time I have posted this question.

Happy New Year Everybody, I hope this year brings peace and happiness to everyone,i appreciate your help in advance
My first question:
what is the best way to send DS-3032 form to NVC :
1.via express mailing
2.via beneficiary' E-mail adress (following the E-mail template in VJ wiki
My second question :
I was looking at e-mail template , It doesn't require a signature from beneficiary. I assume when responding via email a signature isn't required?? am right?

thank you

Thank and Happy New Year to you as well.

ANS#1: I would recommend you to send it through beneficiary's email as its the fastest way. I followed VJ template and my DS-3032 was accepted in few days. Just make sure you call NVC first and have them put the beneficiary's email in their database otherwise it might go to their spam folder.

ANS#2: No, it doesn't require signature if you are sending them email.Yes you are right.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresWrong passport number on VIsa

Hi to every one.
I have just received my CR1 visa with my passport at my home in spain. While looking at the visa,i made sure,embassy has put booklet number under passport number heading. Now i am confused,if they have done it by mistake. All pakistani passports have passport number written just on the front page in the upper corner whereas booklet number is written on all pages of passport.


so any advices are appreciated.

Regards

Call Embassy or go to embassy. They will change it for you.

*Police certificates are required for each visa applicant aged 16 years or older, based on where each
applicant lives or has lived previously.

*Police certificates are also required from all other countries where the applicant has resided more than
12 months. Present and former residents of the United States should NOT obtain any police certificates
covering their residence in the U.S.

*Generally, applications for police certificates should be made directly to the police authorities in the
district in which you resided. The police certificate must:
*Cover the entire period of the applicant's residence in that area, and
*State what the appropriate police authorities records show concerning each applicant, including all
arrests, the reason for the arrest(s), and the disposition of each case of which there is a record.

*If you have any questions about where or how to apply for police certificates in other countries, you
may communicate directly with the U.S. consular office processing your visa applications.
NOTE: Police certificates from certain countries are unavailable. Detailed information is available from
the NVC or the nearest United States immigrant visa processing post.
