Hello,

 

trying to schedule fingerprint for my wife. is there any difference between these two categories?

 

CR1- conditional IR1 spouse of US Citizen

and

IR1 spouse of united states citizen....

 

I am assuming is the first one that I have to select?

HI all,

 

while I was reading the interview letter I came across this statement regarding the police report. The police authority just handed over the police certificate to my wife..... so are they suppose to send it directly to the Embassy? pls see statement below.

 

under "required Visa interview documents and documents status code definiations

 

code- P

 

"You must request this police certificate from the issuing authority. After you submit your

 request, the issuing authority will send the certificate directly to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate

 for your interview."

First finish the medicals. then make the fingerprinting appointment. see the steps.

so we have to complete the medical before even scheduling the OFC appointment???

My thoughts exactly. I will email the consulate and see if its ok or else i need to reschedule.

 

 

 

I read some where on VJ, you just need to do VAC  atleast 1  night prior to interview,  I guess it gets updated overnight.

 

 

I guess the best way is to call and find out.

Purposefully coz i dont want to make 2 trips to mumbai.
 

 

 

but do you think sometimes it may take few days for the data to get transfer? do you think they need the record of the fingerprint at the interview?

Hi there,

 

I notice you scheduled the fingerprint already, did you purposely schedule it so close to the interview date? or were the date given to you? 

 

thanks,

you might also want to double check the instruction! this minor error will cost you a checklist and might cause delay by 30 days.

 

I "THINK" 1040 and 1040A is the total income and 1040ez is the adjusted gross income!

 

don't count on me but please double check the instruction.

 

do you have a sponsor? because the 2013 income is slight less than the poverty income requirement.

 

don't RUSH but take you time to ensure all information is correct!!

 

good luck.

 


How come filing status is  SINGLE for 2013!! did you guys got married in 2013?

Doesn't matter.  Mom is still the person with custody of the child, nothing is needed from the father.  Just the way it is in the Philippines.

Thank you Hank!

Hello! I have a follow up question on this... What if the illegitimate child bears the father's last name? Will a consent from the father be needed? My gf is a single mom and never got any financial support from the father.

Hi jennrg83! 

 

Congrats on all your progress thus far!!!! 

 

How long did you wait to call the NVC to see if they'd received your case? I'm agonizing over whether or not I should call them on Monday. But I think that would be too soon. I know it's only been four days or so since we got our NOA2, but it sure is hard to be patient, am I right? :)

 

Blessings to the next steps of your journey!!!! 

 

Hello Tee and Megan! How did you get it via text? Did you sign up on the USCIS website to get text notification for status changes? Did you also get an email? When did you receive the hard copy?

I cannot find any documents online regarding this one, I would like to know how much the filing fee (I-129F) is for petitioning for my fiance and her daughter. Will it be $340 x 2 or the $340 will cover them both?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresForm I-129

1. If an item is not applicable I will leave it blank instead of writing "N/A" right?

   I filled all non applicable items with a "NONE"

2. Does it have to be all capital letters when filling out the form?

The only all capital letters should be the last name

3. Is there a required paper size to use when I am to print the form? short or long bond paper is ok?

8 1/2 inch by  11 inch

4. Do I also need to include a passport style photo of my fiance's child (K2)? 

No, the only thing u need is the G-235A for both of you and both of you need a 2x2 inch passport style photo with a white background

 

GOOD LUCK !!!!

 

Thank you so much! Where does it say that the last name should be written in capital letters? I could not find it anywhere.
