IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - October 2014

does anyone knows if the ceac website updates just once a day or several times a day.. I can't help myself and I keep checking every hour or so waiting to hopefully change to n/a

My case updated once at 6:30 pm and I have gotten e-mails mid day to after midnight. I doubt if anyone knows. The NVC is like the Masons, so much mystery about how they work. Someone should produce a movie "The many mysteries of the NVC" LOL I have to laugh to keep from crying at this point.

Any CC for today? 

 

My scan date is 8/8. I called an hour ago and spoke to a lady who told me the same 60 day spill. She said that that don't disclose what scan date they are working on and when I asked to speak to a supervisor she told me there was none availible, I ask that she put in a request and she told me that she could not garentee when I would get a call back.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - October 2014

Does anyone know how we can contact a person at the NVC that really knows how paperwork is being processed so there is not so much confusion ?  The operators don't have a clue, and there are so many variations of the process right now. Its enough to make you dizzy.

Philippinesvisitors visa to the U.S

Has anyone from the philipines (wife or husband) visited the U.S while waiting for there visa?  My wife wants to come but I don't know if it's possible.

PhilippinesMedical St.Lukes

My wife went to her medical after i sent the AOS package. It was early but I'm glad she did because she ended up having to do a spuctum test which has a two month wait time for the results. By the time we get the results we should have an interveiw date. If you wait till you have a interveiw date and then get your medical you will have to reschedule if you have to do a spuctum test, which I am told is a common thing at St.Lukes.

PhilippinesPolice records exspire before case complete*****************

my wife got her record from the local police station in Bacoor. I sent that in with my IV pkg. She has one from NBI but we not send that one only kept it for embassy there. Do we need to send the one from NBI to the NVC?

NBI

PhilippinesPolice records exspire before case complete*****************

So I submited our IV package but I think with the extra wait times the police records will exspire before our case is complete. Does my wife and I need to get and send another one now or will the NVC allow us to bring an updated one to the interview?


charlie0225MalePhilippines2014-09-02 13:26:00
Philippineschance of getting a checklist?

It is not required. Just make double sure you put the correct figures (gross or Net income) in the right place. I got a checklist for this and it seems a lot of others did also.

Philippinesproof of relationship concerns

Ok I have a question for those who have expereince with interveiws in Manilia phillipines. My wife and I met in the beginning or November 2013. Then I went to visit her in January 2014 and we got married Jan 17th 2014 while I was still there. Since then I have visited her in feburary,March,June, and will visit her again next week September 14th 2014. We hope to have an interveiw date in November or December. I'm concerned we might have a problem when we interveiw because we only knew each other a short time before we got married. Any sugestions on how to handle this at the interview???

Philippinesmedical exam exspiring before interveiw

 

Ahhh, you really rushed things... for sure not the best idea as you are finding now.  If the medical expires before you get your case complete and an interview, guess what... you will be doing the medical once more.

Yeah when I told her to go ahead with the medical I was sure we would have a cc by now,ofcourse not long after everything came to a hault with the NVC. My bad. 


charlie0225MalePhilippines2014-09-28 20:12:00
Philippinesmedical exam exspiring before interveiw

 

If the results from the sputum test are negative you should have more than enough time to get the interview completed and fly to the USA.  Normally SLEC will get a new interview date setup for you... normally.

 

If positive a second medical examine is always required (with 2nd fee of course ;) ) anyway, but with only a 90 day validity.

 

The problem is we dont have a case complete yet. Last scan date Sept 8.

Philippinesmedical exam exspiring before interveiw

My wife took her medical exam at the end of July which was early but we had some concerns about TB and sure enough she had to take a sputum test. Everything seems to be fine with the test. It was over Sept 25th and she will get results on Tuesday afternoon. Our concern now is with the extended wait times at the NVC she might not have a interview before her medical exspires on Dec 25th. We hate the thought of having to take another medical and sputum again. Does anyone have any exspience with this? 


charlie0225MalePhilippines2014-09-28 14:17:00

How long does it take to get the passport back after the interview?  How long before you can fly?

PhilippinesNeed some advice

   My wife took her medical exam at the end of July and had to do the sputum, we got the results this week and they were negative. Looking back I see that was not the smartest thing to do. We did not have a case complete at that time she did here medical. This was right before the whole 60 days to review came about and I really thought we would be through this whole process by now. Plus I got a checklist on my AOS which has pushed the case out longer. Evrything is in now and we hope to have a case complete by the end of October.

 

So here is the problem. Here medical exspires December 25th. Even if she gets a early December interview I don't know if she would get her passport back in time to travel. At this point I don't know what to do? Does anyone have any experience with haveing to retake the medical exam? Or any suggestions what we need to do now?

PhilippinesWhat to exspect from a expedite

I would not wait for the Embassy to contact you, track your case and once you know it reach USEM, give them a call and talk to CO, they might let you do walk in for interview if not, they will give you closer date if your chasing for the time...good luck!

thank you will do

PhilippinesWhat to exspect from a expedite

Ok our case was completed last week 10/15. Yesterday the embassy in Manilia approved an expedite request due to the time we have for my wife to travel. I spoke with the NVC today and they said they were sending my paperwork to the embassey in Manilia today. They also said that the embassy in Manilia (not the NVC) would contact us about the scheduling of the interview. So what should we exspect now and is there anything we should do to keep on top of this situation? Please advise?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresquestion about police records

Ok today we recieved notice from the USCIS of the appoval of my wifes visa only to find out that it could take another two months before the NVC appoints a case number. My question is this: I called the NVC and was told that since my Philipino wife worked for two years in Dubai she has to have police records from the Philippines and Dubia. Does anyone know how we could go about obtaining police records from Dubia for her? She was only there from 2010 to 2012 working and now lives in philippines. Also does two months for NVC to post a case number seem right? NVC says it takes three to four week for the U.S to mail forms to the NVC and three to four weeks for NVC to give a number.

My wife lives in Manila, I'm a U.S citizen. We have approval of her I-130 visa and we are considering using "Rapid Visa" to help her us with the NVC process. At the interview is it frowned upon if you get outside help like this?

 

Also has anyone use "Rapid Visa"

This may seem like an odd topic but here it goes. My wife has lived in the philippines all her life and is getting prepared to get the medical exam for her U.S visa.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresgetting an interveiw appointment confusion

From my experience so far nothing is fast if the NVC is doing it. I am always in favor of doing things myself, no one will have the urgency that I have about getting something done. I have been told since I posted this topic that on K1 visa"s can set there on interview. It's not availible for K3. I hope this helps.

I'm a little confused. My wife lives in the philipines and we are waiting on our IV to be invoiced. The way I understood things is that when it is time for an appointment for interview to be made the NVC will handle setting it up. However reading through some of the topics I have run across several where it seems like some are able to set up there own appointment, Can someone explain this to me please. Thank you
