IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresHello eveyone- new to VJ-- Need Some wisdom and Guidance

Hi! Congratulations on your marriage and baby!!

 

The K-1 Visa is for Unmarried couples who intend to marry within 90 days after the Non-USC's arrival to the US.

 
After the baby is born (if your wife is not stateside you can apply for the baby's US Passport, etc.)

 

 You need to file the Spouse Visa... :guides:  found here:

 

http://www.visajourn.../content/guides

 

Best Wishes!! And don't worry many of us have filed all of our own paperwork without an Attorney... and in my case my Attorney SLOWED OUR CASE WAAAAYYY DOWN!!!! and kept the $$  :no:  :ranting:

You can use the search feature on this site to and search "alien number changed" and it will give you many instances to hel you relax but basically it means that if the Beneficiary has never had an Alien Number on file with USCIS then it means one has been assigned for identification purposes of the alien.

 

If the Beneficiary has had ne associated it just means it has been attached to them again (and your petition) and can be used to identify the Beneficiary.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Best Wishes on your journey!!!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresSputum/Medical Test 8 week delay, Reschedule Interview?

 

 

I understand that.  What I am not understanding is what we should do regarding the interview?

 

Do we reschedule it?  If so, should we just say we want it for a day after the 8 week period?  How will they get the approved medical paperwork?

 

Does anyone have any actual experience with this?

 

 My Fiance has just finished his treatment. I wrote the following post for general reference and it may be helpful for your Wife's case as well.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresShould I tell my wife to leave her JOB

I know many have already said it, but I will provide my 2 cents. My wife and I had already gotten plane tickets and she quit her job. We were to have the interview in September 2013 and fly out in mid October 2013. We went in for the interview and she was denied the visa. This came as a shock but we made due(still trying to get the visa now). Not trying to scare you, but this can be a reality. I would wait until you are officially approved for the visa.

 

Also not wanting to scare you but we have a similar shock for us...

 

My Fiance and I  thought it would go quickly once we were approved but he actually lost his job when they found out we were approved for the visa. A little later his savings ran out and he went to live with family to wait for the interview and got sick with TB just before our interview and medical exam.

 

He just finished his 8 months of treatment and retesting... Ojala we will receive the visa soon!!

 

Things happen... let it unfold as it should... God knows what best and why...

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresHow to prove that NVC messed up?

 

Tier 2 rep doesn't apply at the NVC.  The OP can speak to an operator to place the request, if they get nowhere with the operator, they can speak to a supervisor.

 

Ahhh excellent!! Thank you for clarifying that! I just knew I had seen several cases call in for the Expedite... :-)  

 

Glad you were able to give the right path...


Enigma23FemaleDominican Republic2014-08-23 13:00:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresHow to prove that NVC messed up?

Thanks for your answer. Now, I will write a letter, I will send a copy of ORIGINAL one that I sent back on March, and include a copy of the certify receipt that I got from the post office. Is that enough? I will call them later nd inquiere about it.

 

I believe  you can just call to begin the process to request the Expedite. They will then ask for or tell you how submit your proof... I think you will need to speak with a tier 2 rep. It does sound like you have really solid grounds for the expedite and approval.

 

Good luck!! I am sure you will get it!! Keep strong and stay on them...

I submitted the translated copy, and copy of marriage certificate. received RFE stating "petitioner submitted translated nikah nama, need nikah nama in original language". Apparently there is a rule - donot submit translation without accompanying original language copy. duh ! :(

When I called NVC I got the Case Number and the Invoice Number. With those numbers I was able to log onto NVC and submit DS-261 after I was invoiced for AOS payment. After 2 days it showed AOS Fee Payed, then I send in the AOS Packet, now I am waiting for IV Invoice. I never got an E. Mail from NVC for anything,

How can you send your IV packet without the bar code cover sheet from NVC? I hope for your sake they did not loose some of your papers. I send my AOS papers after it showed payed on the NVC web site including the bar coded cover sheet. Now I am waiting for the IV invoice, then after that shows payed, I will send the IV papers with the NVC cover sheet. I think it is not good advice on VJ to tell people they can send both AOS and IV papers together. These are all originals and sometimes hard to get.

why would you say that?? There is nothing he can do about it!!! They get so many Visa cases a day...it takes time. With the things that happen in the world these days, everything is taken seriously, I wouldnt be suprised if VSC closed down for a few days because of your remark, and that would delay everyones case.

Your internet activity will be looked at by the Government....I'm sure!

you make me sick protest6wz.gif

first of all moto-zutto, you are a k1 filler so before you say anything, make sure you think about it. you have no idea about the ordeal and torture people with I130s and k3s are going thru at vsc, petitions that have been pending since 2007 and early 2008. maybe you havent seen how csc is approving petitions left and right and we at vsc are sitting in a corner. looking at your timeline, you filed recently so you cannot feel the pain yet of having to wait for eternity. what hurts us more is that there are cases filed after ours that have been approved and the director said it is because when boxes come in, they pile it on top of the old boxes and there is nothing he can do about it! now is that fair to us moto-zutto??? is it fair for the director to say that he cannot do anything with the incompetence of his staff? i guess you must be ok with that? you must be ok if they treat you unfairly? you must be ok with the fact that your petition could get on the bottom in a few months because newer boxes could be piled on top of it? if thats fine with you, then its you who make me sick . mad.gif

Okay moto-zutto we are all upset with VSC I am sure she did not mean anything by it, she was just upset. we are all here to make this a place of encouragement.

What illegal things? If you are talking about the fraudlet docs............ The lawyer knew about that from day one before he took the case and things were going well with us until now..........So that's not y he is pissed off.........

So thanks but NO THANKS for your comment

Sweetness I am sorry you are so upset and everything has taken so long, however relaxing a little bit and taking a deep breath would serve you more. People are trying to help you,, it's just that sometimes the problem seems too big for them to deal with and they don't know how to help you solve it. Stay positive Mami and pray.
