I clicked on the CEAC link, and it asks for the NVC case number and an Invoice ID number? There is no Invoice ID number mentioned on anything. Does this apply to our visa process?

Oh wow, okay. I just sent mine off today... should I fill this form out too and send it off to the same place as well??


My forms are guaranteed to get there on Mon, which mean they'll receive them on the second?

United KingdomRoyal mail tried to deliver on Labor Day

They did it. I called Royal mail concerned... but they said not to worry, they don't like keeping embassy mail in the local office, so they try again either later or the next day :)

 

 


I paid for next day delivery.

Yeah - never buy the ticket until you have the necessary travel items IN HAND. The cost to change the tickets these days is TOO high!

CanadaAfter Package 3 is sent ? What should i do next ?

It doesn't hurt to call the DOS. It's not like it will affect anything :) I'm not sure about wait times for your specific visa, or how it's supposed to go, but I know it doesn't hurt to call the DOS ;)

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI-30 Cover Letter - Is this sufficient?

I experienced an RFE shortly after sending in my husbands I-130... ours was based in London.

We sent a cover letter similar to yours and got accepted two days after sending :)

However, I would suggest sending an affidavit of bona fide marriage explaining how you two met and leading up to your marriage. :)

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresPhotos

You can send real photos, but you probably won't get them back.

 

Options are:

Print them out in color on paper

 

or

 

Put ones you like on a USB and get them printed out at a local photo store :)

 


TomandCatieFemaleUnited Kingdom2013-09-25 16:14:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresA straight up question, give it to me straight.

Honest, and educated. 

People ARE trying to help, but it DOES come across like you're cheating the system and trying to find the fastest possible route. Which is unfair to a lot of people who work hard and went about things the right way.

 

Now, in all HONESTY, I would be VERY careful doing AOS after getting married in the states. Sure you get to be with her and not leave, but you better have some good proof that she wasn't planning on marrying you beforehand.

 

You've got to look at this situation from the officer's point of view. She just up and left, then got married and wants to stay. Fine. However, does she have a car back home? Where does she live? Is she giving up her house? Does she have kids? ect... ect...

 

Most people will not leave these behind and just suddenly want to get married. Not to mention, that if she did anything like SOLD her car, or SOLD her house, that shows she intended to STAY. There's a very fine line. Be careful with what you do. It's best if you do either the K1 or the CR1 route. K1 is faster, but still a little lengthy. However, it's not immigration fraud, which is what you'd be doing unless you had solid evidence. 


TomandCatieFemaleUnited Kingdom2013-09-26 16:40:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFiancé forgot he was married before!

I've read all the comments here... and although I'm no expert in visas. I can honestly say that this husband of yours sound EXTREMELY shady. NO ONE and I repeat NO ONE forgets they were married. Celebration, no celebration, doesn't matter!  Unless he suffered some rare freak accident and can't remember certain things, then personally this looks like a giant fraudster. Be really careful. If my husband ever told me he "forgot" he was married before, I'd be gone by now. That's a HUGE trust issue.

 

What was he going to do when you got married? You have to put down any prior marriages you've had an supply proof of it being dissolved? How does he "find it out" on facebook? Unless he was purposely searching her name? 

 

Two things you need to find out.

 

1. Was his ex a USC?

2. What else is he lying to you about?

 

Marriage is a lifetime commitment, don't go into it on a "giving him the benefit of the doubt" and then 10 days later find out he's a giant liar.  Does he have parents? Why didn't his family ever mention it? 

 

It doesn't matter if you never asked him that question. That's the kind of thing people would bring up in a relationship ANYWAY. 

My husband told me he was married before 3 days after meeting him? So... the forgetting thing will be hard to prove and I doubt you'll see any approval. Sorry :(

You're K-1 :) So  ring the NVC and they will tell you your invoice # :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK-1 Visa DS-230 Part I Confused!!!

Question 1: If you received your letter before Sep 1st, then you do the DS230, not the DS260.

 

Question 2: DS Part 1 and II are filled out, but I think they mean don't fill out the bottom part of part II which says on the form "Do not fill out below this line" 

 

Not sure about question 3. 

 

Not sure about question 4.

 

Question 5: DS2001 can be sent off all together, or later. It's a form telling them that you're ready for the interview. So unless you have EVERYTHING you need for the interview RIGHT NOW in your hands, don't fill it out and send. 

 

Question 6: I would think you would need to fill that out. I'm not sure though.

 

I'm sure others on here will be able to answer the others better :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDoes age difference affect approval?

jUST GOT DENIED A HALF HOUR AGO CAUSE IAM 19 YEARS OLDER THAN MY HUSBAND

THE INTERVIEWER TOLD HIM WE COULDNT PROVE A BONAFIDE RELATIONSHIP ....EVEN THO WE HAD 150 PAGES OF CHATS ..... 40 PAGES OF PHONE RECORDS....... ABOUT 75 PICTURES OF US TOGETHER .....ALL THE BILLS AND RECIEPTS FOR WHEN WE MET IN PERSON.....AND ABOUT 15 LETTERS FROM FRIENDS AND FAMILY.COWORKERS ECT...AND SO MUCH MORE BUT IT MADE NO DIFFERENCE./........SO DONT EVER TAKE ANYTHING FOR GRANTED 

 

Yes, but looking at the country, it isn't surprising. I'm sorry you were denied :(

 

However, as Lost_at_Sea said earlier in the posts, some countries it will be a big red flag if the woman is older than the man because of their "child bearing age" beliefs. That and Nigeria is one of the toughest immigration locations.


My fiancé is 13 years older than I am as well. Some other VJers have much younger fiancées or wives. 19-56 and 22-65, I read their posts the other day. Both of us are safe and would be fine, tongue.png

 

I am not worried too much since we've been in relationship more than 5 years now and I've met one of US Embassy Consular Officers in Jakarta for my job assigment a while ago. He told me, their COs are well trained to determine whether someone is lying or tell the truth. 

 

The bottom line is- as long as the relationship is real - nothing is really need to worry about. kicking.gif

Hooray for the 13's ! dancin5hr.gif

 

We'll be fine!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDoes age difference affect approval?

Yeah! I remember you lurking around the site helping everyone out, to get your mind off of it :D 

Looking back I feel so horrible I bugged you so much to help me out! You must've been so preoccupied with your own worries!

Without your help, I would've been toast!

Haha! I wish I had your composure, it's getting down to the wire and I find myself biting my fingernails down to their nubs! :D


TomandCatieFemaleUnited Kingdom2013-09-12 16:51:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDoes age difference affect approval?

I've worried a bit about this too. My husband is 13 years older than I am. But I'm sure as long as you have enough evidence (photos, emails, affidavits, ect...) then there isn't too much to worry about.

 

They do this stuff daily, I'm sure that they can tell who's real and who's not,  by now. I wouldn't freak over it. Just be prepared!  good.gif

 

*As Lost_At_Sea stated, this stuff is more for the interview, than the petition* :)
