Question :
When do you usually setup the interview?

After NVC process or somewhere in the middle?


After NVC completes ones case, most likely Mid of every month interview dates are given out for the next month.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresDS-230 Q23: Educational Institutions - Only College or HS too?
Hello Falcon,

You might like to read this thread link . Hope it clears up your doubt.

And about question number 23 of DS-230, I just listed 3 institutes, that is my Senior Secondary school (I put it as Diploma)
Then my Graduation as Degree and then my PG. You don't really have to list all the minor courses you might have done like a computer course or taking an electronic class, things like that. Just whichever major universities or boards your spouse has attended.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI 864A
I don't think that would be allowed, unless you transfer your money from your account to your husband's account. Petitioner is the one who is the main sponsor and he can take help of any joint sponsor who needs to have a United states domicile.

A few countries do allow the immigrant to be the sponsor but I doubt Thailand does that.

Are you the only beneficiary or you have any child/ren too?

The obligations of the I-864 you signed don't go away with divorce.


OP mentioned about terminating i-130 petition, so that means his ex never make it to USA, so he isn't obligated for i-1864 of his ex-wife.

OP, for future reference, I doubt you will have much difficulty at USCIS or NVC level but be prepared to explain a hell lot during the actual interview at consulate level.

Also on a side note you will need to make photocopies of every document you send to NVC. So if you are sending your original birth certificate, make sure you also make an extra photocopy of it and send it in the package.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresDoes one really need DS-3032?
QUOTE (nimche @ Sep 2 2008, 11:58 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
IV bill is for beneficary to pay. If you are not your spouse's agent then how would you pay on behalf of your spouse? I kind of like this movement from your side, but NVC is not advanced as you think.
To me, they should do everything online.

Nice Try



With online payments a person from India with an Indian bank account can pay the bill right? Or anywhere from the world if that matters.

Its not a serious issue but as I said, I am just trying to figure out the significance of DS-3032.

And yes NVC should have more online case status updates rather than telephonic ones. People can check online 1000000 times without having to dial numbers and paying for Long distance calls whistling.gif

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresDoes one really need DS-3032?
Ahh thanks smile.gif , I didn't know that someone needs to be a choice of agent for IV bill to be generated.
trinketFemaleIndia2008-09-02 00:56:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresDoes one really need DS-3032?
Do we really need DS-3032 to be filled with this new online payment system?

Here is what I was thinking, by default beneficiary is the choice of agent. You get your i-130 approved, the said couple gets case number--> gets IIN--> gets invoice generated notice over AVR--> Pays both IV & AOS bill--> Sends both IV &AOS package with bar-coded coversheet-->Keeps calling to hear NVC case complete--> Once complete keeps calling to get an interview date.

Now the only thing out here is that CHOICE OF AGENT gets the interview letter, which is your NON-USC spouse (if you haven't filled up DS-3032) and in a lot of countries postal services aren?t reliable that?s why its better if the USC spouse gets the said interview letter. But isn?t it true that the petitioner gets the interview letter even if choice of agent is someone else? Let?s say someone have an attorney and since attorney is the default CHOICE OF AGENT, attorney gets the interview letter ALONG with the petitioner, right?

I am not trying to show any point here, but just trying to figure out how important DS-3032 is anymore while using all these short cuts to speed up NVC league of this process. And I am asking this as a general question, we didn't need to fill out DS-3032 because our attorney was our default choice of agent.

I don't recall ever hearing anyone say they get anything back at the end.



Every one with CR-1/IR-1 visa do get back original/certified copies documents submitted at NVC. Things like Birth certificate, marriage certificate, divorce decree.

Chill and take one step at a time.

First off, did you get your NVC case number yet? You should get it by now, so call the representative tomorrow and get it. Once you get it email your DS-3032 and make yourself as an agent. Do these two steps for now.

Oh and for your wife's part, just ask her to apply for her PCC right away.

Just one question, when you said

strange thing is that, american guy didn't even talk about having low fianancial support.. it was just indian guy who was repeatedly talking about that... Than the indian guy standing next to said, "your visa will be mailed to your home address"


Was the Indian guy asking the same while the American was interviewing your husband, or did he (the Indian guy) asked about financial questions during the initial round?

Congrats again, you will be with your hubby soon now, when is he planning to get to US?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresSo I think I've screwed up...
CR-1 visas are also going through fast pace in California, and since you are in LA which comes under CSC, there is a good chance your I-130 will be approved within 3 months or so and then with this guide you can deal with NVC within 1.5 months (new online payment). If your case is simple, that is no clear red flags then IR-1 is better than K-3

You do have some time before you file, so keep reading a whole lot and you will know which way is the best for you.

Best wishes to you and your would be wife for the upcoming nuptial

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresquick question about i-864
Because my husband didn't file taxes for the year 2005, 2006. And for the year 2007 he started working from august, so even though his overall yearly income is above poverty line, his taxes has been less than poverty line for the year 2007.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresquick question about i-864
So we are finally ready to send our papers to NVC. Took some time with the joint sponsor, arranging papers in order when you rely on someone else is kind of cumbersome.

Anyways the work letter and joint sponsor's pay stubs are around 2 months old, will that work or we have to get new ones? I kind of dont' want to disturb the already frustrated joint sponsor.

My hubby will submit recent pay stubs and 1 week old issued work letter. His current income is above the poverty line if that matters.
