IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsCalled the uscis

. Last bit of info is that I am living abroad and that doesn't matter at all. If ppl thought u would be processed faster well forget about it.. 2 hours on hold for not too much info...


it doesnt matter if you two live outside US, u less there is USCIS office at the US embassy where you are living together, and thats DCF application. My husband and I are living in kuwait before, we sent our application May 2013 and hoping before his contract end ( which is month of July, so they have 2 months to get approve our case) we will hear goodnews, our plan is from Kuwait we will go straight in US together. But July came and nothing. Worst, I went home in Philippines and my husband in US, now we are 4 months being apart to each other. Its our 2 years anniversary this coming Nov 28, I hope to hear a goodnews from USCIS, husband is coming over here in Philippines this voming nov 25 .

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWhere are they in I130?

What evidence did you initially send in?


marriage contract, the birth certificate ,certificate of being US citizen of my son, and in our application they can see that we are leaving in Kuwait together. Pictures of us. Now we are waiting for the letter and see what they are asking for evidences. Actually my hubby is here with me in Philippines for one month vacation. How about you

malenliamFemalePhilippines2013-12-12 21:36:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWhere are they in I130?

 
Oh yeah, I guess you have to change address after approval and it reaches NVC. I also put Kuwait for my husband as the beneficiary, although will have to change it to Bangladesh after approval. Good luck!


Thanks a lot. I received an email today..it was RFE ..i dont know what they need more..we live in Kuwait together for 1 1/2 years..we had a onee year and 4 month old son..what else to prove a genuine marriage? Goodluck to you too..

malenliamFemalePhilippines2013-12-12 10:30:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWhere are they in I130?

NVC will send case to us consulate closest to beneficiary. What address did you put when you filed? Kuwait? You have to call and change address or do it online. 


We had put Kuwait and now im in Philippines. We did search and Unfortunately the only thing we can do is to wait until our case is already on NVC..thats the only time we can change the address..we can only change the applicant address thru online. And ly husband is here in the Philippines so he will figure it out as soon as he go back to US. Tnx anyway.

June filer.....transferred 11/27 to CSC....APPROVED 12/7


im a june filer too..got transferred ahead from you..november 24, beneficiary is from philippines. We still didnt get an approval..were not taking advantage of being automatic expedite, but our problem is when we applied we are living in Kuwait, then july , i went home in the philippines, maybe i will not get an approval early like all filipina beneficiaries here but my concern is, once it get approved and sent my case to NVC they might forward my case to Kuwait US embassy. Do you have any idea how to change address of benefeciary? My husband did change the address but that is only for changing applicant address..

anyone can help. Thanks

Its so deppressing. We have a one year and six month old baby. Everyday he learned new things and his daddy missing to see it. He visited us last november until december, but when he need to leave us again its a river flowing down my cheeks. Sometimes i just wish to receive an email saying our application denied so its over, i dont need to think,to wait, because i really dont like the feeling of wating until when?

I absolutely hate this too. Every day at work, the EXACT SAME people ask me when I will be moving out to live with my husband, then feign shock when I say maybe a year or more. I think they do it on purpose. I don't even know these people, they work on a different floor to me, yet they love provoking me :(


I feel the same way too. Me and my husband lived together in Kuwait for 1 year and 4 months, theres no USCIS office there so we just sent our application thru mail. The worst thing happened he went home in US when his contract finished and me and my son went back here in Philippines. People cant understand what were going through, they thought once you get married with USC you can come with him right away. Now they are thinking that me and my husband are already separated. Im just quiet. I know my visa will be approved in time, then ill surprise them.

malenliamFemalePhilippines2013-11-10 02:16:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsUSCIS has turned my marriage into a joke...
As simple as this..how come they were asking for more proof of a true marriage, well in fact going through with all this waiting, so deppressing, is a sign of true love and genuine marriage. 9 months had passed since we started this visa journey, our case is still in USCIS. I started loosing hope.

You are not alone! There are others on the same boat, and we all understand how frustrating and upsetting this is.
 
My husband and I spent 2 hours in line for our infopass, we explain that we never received our RFE letter (they never sent, but they keep telling us they did back in October), we bagged and demanded that they print us a copy, asked them to tell us what is missing from the 400 page file we sent...we already opened 2 service request and 30 days later still no letter... their answer to us is that we they were going to request NBC to transfer the files to them and that would take 30 days, plus 30 more days for them to get back to us. 
 
 
I left the Chciago office crying in anger. Why is it so hard for them to mail a piece of paper or at least TELL US what do they need from us. We did everything right, and someone at USCIS screw up, but obviously they wont admit it, there has been no progress in 6 months and now we are looking at having to cancel the honeymoon we have been planning and paying for 1 year and a half now. 
 
One thing I know though, I'm not taking a question mark for an answer. AS my husband says, we are going to throw them the kitchen sink. 
 







we also received an email last dec 11 2014 that our case was RFE. Weve waited for yhe hardcopy until month of january and nothing.hubby calked and they told us they will send another copy, february came and nothing mu hubby called again and same thing they told us,they will send another copy. He called again before the end of february finally USCIS admit their mistake, they had sent the hard copy in kuwait while infact month of july last year we already changed our mailing address. So they told us after 15 days we will hear frim them...after 15 days what we received is a ketter telling us...after 15 days you will receive the hardcopy for your RFE. i dont know why i want to cry...i cant understand why instead of sending the rfe hardcopy they sent us a letter to wait fir another 15 days again. 3 months had wasted ...
goodthing after they received they received the rfe..only one week we hot approved.

Finally we received the rfe hard copy last week of Feb. The first copy was sent to usDecember but they had sent it in a wrong address. Wehad sent the documents they had adked in RFE March 5, they emailed us that they received it March 13. I hope and pray for positive responce before the end of this month. For the meantime i applied as a dialysis nurse trainee in one of the hospital here in our place, to divert my attention.

Hang on tight everyone, you are not alone.
im feeling more pressured and deppressed coz all filipinas was already approved month of november and december because of typhoon yolanda. But i was left behind because of this RFE hard copy we still didnt received until USCIS admit their fault. May i just ask if what does EXPEDITE SERVICE REQUEST means? The officer in yhe USCIS main office told to my hubbu that he will send expedite service request to CSC where our case was transferred. I am confuse if they will rebiew our case again and will make decision? Or does it mean theywill send RFE hard copy again and we need to wai again. They've wasted 2 months.
