IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresMedical querry
Will it really effect if I decide to change medical exam lab?

I have already scheduled for a medical interview on 11th of November at Leelavati hospital, but now looking at plans, I feel I should be better doing it in Breach Candy, since it will be much more nearer to the hotel I will stay in. Leelavati hospital will be more than 2 hours away.

Another thing is, should the photograph submitted for medical needs to be of 2x2 size with white background, or Indian standard size will work?

Thanks for any help good.gif

There will be a 394 rupees courier fee at VFS, other than that, no other fee. Finger print fee gets covered with that $400 you will pay in NVC.

Best of luck at NVC and then later for interview good.gif

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresi864? handwritten or typed on computer?
You have to listen to NVC's voice AVR, if it says your bills have been generated then yes, you can pay the bill. As a matter of fact, we paid both our bills on the same day.

Secondly, I don't know about hand written, but when we sent our I-864 forms, they were not in Capital letter. we used sentence case and it was well accepted.

And for the sake of every one, please fill in your time line timeline.gif Others will be able to respond you well and also it will help others smile.gif

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresChecklists of our I-I30
You don't need to send any original copies, so just your photocopy of marriage certificate is enough.

Do write down details under each photograph, you can stick all the pics in one sheet and also stick out printed details under each of the pics.

I am wondering if marriage contract and marriage certificat the same thing? I doubt it is, but as long as the marriage is legal in your country you should be allright.

You have to send 2, 2x2 photos of both beneficiary and petitioner, I do see you have listed photo, but just making sure they are 2 of each of you.

And your cover letter should be with table of content and seperating each evidence that match up with the table of content.

Best of luck, hoping for a speedy approval good.gif

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresWhere to submit medical?
Update-- called VFS just a while ago, and they said I can submit medical either with them or can take directly to the consulate. If I submit at VFS, they will provide me with a receipt of document submitted, which I will have to carry to consulate.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresReally at a dead end over erroneous tax filing
I don't understand much of tax system, but after reading the threads of visajourney during tax season, my husband did file as married and applied for my ITIN.

Here is what happened, he applied in April, and in August he got a letter from IRS stating they can't issue me an ITIN since I don't have a SSN, my husband still hasn't got any returns as of this date and he stopped calling IRS anymore.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresQuick Question ABOUT DS-230
NVC sends the letter to choice of agent, whoever you choose as your agent to be. Usually its best for the beneficiary to complete the form, your wife too can complete it and email it to you, you can take a print out of the filled form, sign it and post it to your wife along with other documents such as PCC, your birth certificate, your passport photocopies, two 2x2 photographs of your with white background, marriage certificate, any divorce certificate..............i hope that's all and I am not missing something.

Do go through any of the guides and you will be fine, but to your basic question, its the beneficiary who needs to sign, part 1 and part 2 should be unsigned.

Once you submit your documents, you will have to keep calling DOS, to know the status of your case, that's how you will get to know if they put her in AP or if the evidence given are satisfactory enough for the Consulate.

If they are satisfied with the extra proof you send, plus if they aren't putting your wife through AP (administrative process), then I guess its a matter of 4-5 weeks.

Hoping for the best good.gif

221g is the white slip, asking for more evidence. And that's what you got. Make sure you load them with evidence, even throw in some affidavits from friend and families, if you need format of affidavit, do message me your email address and I will send you.

Basically you have to convince them that your relationship is bonafide, so include everything you think you can, from phone bills, emails, chat logs, letters with postal stamps on it, money transfer receipts, boarding pass of you joining her in India, your passport's photocopy showing your visits to India after marriage, hotel bills.

Hope you get through it soon.

Did you go through k-3 or CR-1?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresIncome Tax clearance certificate for Beneficiary
No its not, this question was asked a couple of months ago too and the answer was same.

As an example ELW from India said how she had to submit those tax papers in the early 90s but it stopped by late 90s.

Your wife has already got her PCC, which takes care of any fraud being committed or not committed. When a person acquires PCC, it basically covers up notifying Indian government that you wish to immigrate from India and you have no obligations to be fulfilled anymore.

So you can relax about tax matter, no one is going to ask anything in the airport.


On a side note: Are you from Delhi that your agent has said you need to get those clearance from New Delhi? If you aren't from Delhi then I don't see why would you need to go all the way up to Delhi, each district has their own tax collection office.
