IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Urgent question !	Hi. I've asked this question before buy I didn't get any clear answer.I'm getting ready to send the form DS-230 and required papers.my question is :Is the court and prison records required ? even it said this in the instructions packet : Court and prison records Applicants who have been convicted of a crime must obtain a certified copy of each court record and any prison record, regardless of the fact that he or she may have subsequently benefited from an amnesty, pardon or other act of clemency. Court records should include: • Complete information regarding the circumstance surrounding the crime of which the applicant was convicted • The disposition of the case, including sentence or other penalty or fine imposed. I have never been convicted of a crime so will I still have to submit a paper from the court stating that I have no prison records ?? You need police records, if your records say "NO ENTRY' you do not need court and prison records	MaydayDas	Female	Romania	2007-06-14 07:04:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Social Security Card & Green Card	Thanks KS, I checked the box on the DS-230 part 2 about a SSN to be assigned to me so I was hopping I gonna get it in the mail.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Travelling while petition pending	Hi guys, this time no question, a lot of members asked if they can travel or get a tourist visa while the petition is pending. The answer is yes, there is no law that prevent you from asking. The main problem is to proof that you are leaving enough behind and that you are not willing to immigrate on that tourist visa. I had an interview for a tourist visa and the consular office gave it to me. I'm allowed to travel for 3 months. So my suggestion is that if you want to try just make sure you have enough that will make you come back. A job is the first thing they ask for, a house, a car, a bank account. I was told not even to bother to try, well, I did and I got it. Now, I don't know how the story will be at the POE, but for now I got my visa, I will let you know how it goes. Best regards Good to hear they gave you the visitor visa, other people were not so lucky what I heard.....and yes the POE is where they can deny your entry so be prepared to convince them your intentions. Good Luck	MaydayDas	Female	Romania	2007-04-25 05:27:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Military orders	We are also in Germany,...I moved to the USA in Dec 03, married feb 04, and moved to Germany Mar 04 due to orders. I have since, done AOS, and Removed conditions,..as expedited Citizenship was not offered to me at the time, and I was unaware of it til 12 months ago, and by that stage, I had already applied to Lift conditions. I live near Frankfurt. My hubby is on his second tour of Iraq since being here. I like Germany, it has afforded us the opportunity to travel a fair bit. and with extra pay in the form of COLA, its fairly inexpensive. Good Old RYANAIR.!!!! yea, you can go around very cheap....it must be hard to have the husband deployed, hung in there and do some traveling the time gonna fly faster ......

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Informations about processing time of K1 Visa	thanks a lot. right now everything helps! To fill in your timeline, go to My Assistant, then Add/Edit Timelines. Are you checking the status of your case this way? http://www.visajourn...h...c=27315&hl= As far as documents for Frankfurt go: Packet 3 contains a cover letter, a checklist with detailed instructions, instructions for the medical and some forms: DS 230, DS 156, DS 157, DS 156K The USC will also need to provide an I-134 and it would be a good idea to have updated letters of intent written for both you and your fiance. David is mailing his info back to Frankfurt tomorrow - next step is the medical (no appointment needed in Frankfurt) and the interview, as soon as it can be scheduled. Hope this helps.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Informations about processing time of K1 Visa	My finance (US Citizen) has filed our petition for I-129F to NSC. He received the NOA1 that the petition has been received june 21st 2006. We tried to look up on the internet (www.uscis.gov) to find out more about the processing time.When we checked end of june I-129 F was shown on the schedule but since july it is not posted any more. My finance tried to call NSC but the only answer was that he has to wait until 90 days until he should call again. Now I am a little bit worried that something might be wrong. How can we find out about the status of our Petition? And in addition to that, what kind of documents do I need when I got an interview at Frankfurt Germany? It is so confusing and looking up different webpages does not really help because there are more and more informations! Hopefully somebody can help me. Thanks in advance!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	2 MONTHS SINCE NO1 YET NO RFE....WHO IS IN THE SAME BOAT?	Hey, I can understand how you feel. We got our noa1 from nsc in june as well (date of receipt june 21st). Since then we did not hear anything new. Today I found out that the case must be forwarded to csc since nsc does not work on k1-visa anymore. First I was really shocked and now it is just disappointed because you cannot really tell how long it will take until they will give you further informations :-( Just my little rant. I got my NO1 back in June yet I still have no RFE? Is this common. I originally sent to Texas Service Center but was Transfered to CSC. Words of encouragement please. :-(	Ngoc-Anh	Female	Germany	2006-08-20 16:00:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Informationen ueber Wartezeiten und K1-Visa	Hallo, wie lange hat es gedauert von dem Approval bis du letzendlich in die Staaten gegangen bist? Mein Verlobter wird so wie es aussieht Ende Dezember/Anfang Januar fuer 6 Monate 'deployed' daher beten wir jeden Tag, dass es bis dahin fertig ist, aber meine Hoffnung schwindet von Minute zu Minute	Ngoc-Anh	Female	Germany	2006-08-21 04:02:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Informationen ueber Wartezeiten und K1-Visa	Mein Verlobter (US-Buerger) hatte im Juni unsere Petition I-129F in Nebraska Service Center eingereicht. Er hat die NOA erhalten, dass die Unterlagen am 21.06.2006 eingegangen sind. Seitdem haben wir aber leider nichts mehr gehoert. Man kann online auf www.uscis.gov die Bearbeitungszeit verfolgen. Aber aus irgendeinem Grund erscheint nirgends die Bearbeitung von I-129F-Antraegen. Ende Juni war I-129F geposted, aber seit dem nicht mehr. Dies irritiert mich einwenig. Mein Verlobter hatte versucht dort anzurufen, aber man hatte ihm nur gesagt dass er bis zu 90 Tage warten soll, bis er wieder anrufen kann. Kann mir jemand sagen, wie die momentane Wartezeit aussieht bis zur Genehmigung des Visums? Ausserdem welche Unterlagen werden benoetigt, wenn ich zum Interview nach Frankfurt muss? Es ist alles so verwirrend! Vielen Dank schon mal!!!!	Ngoc-Anh	Female	Germany	2006-08-20 07:29:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	update of I-129F Form	thanks got it now and yep definetly the wrong form!	Ngoc-Anh	Female	Germany	2006-08-21 09:21:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	update of I-129F Form	the expiration date was june 30th. we filed that before that and get our NOA june21st. But since then we did not get any updates. And when I learned about the questions according to IMBRA I was wondered because I could not remember anything about that. So I looked up again and in deed there is nothing mentioned about IMBRA. So now I am even more confused because if this was the wrong form, why don't they let us know (2 months passed already since NOA1)	Ngoc-Anh	Female	Germany	2006-08-21 08:42:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	update of I-129F Form	I tried that link and severeal other links but everything that refers to i-129f I cannot open for some reason. is something wrong with my pc or with the link? I have no problems open other forms.	Ngoc-Anh	Female	Germany	2006-08-21 08:28:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	update of I-129F Form	I've learned that there is a new form of I-129F which ask questions referring to IMBRA. I tried to download it from uscis and several other pages to make sure that we've filed the wrong one. But for some reason it won't let me. Can anybody send me the current I-129F Form? Thanks a lot	Ngoc-Anh	Female	Germany	2006-08-21 08:00:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	confused about schedule on uscis	Hey Gary, this is really upsetting. Maybe it would not be too bad if my fiance won't be deployed by end of this year for 6 months which will cause a even longer waiting time and maybe more problems	Ngoc-Anh	Female	Germany	2006-08-21 05:34:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	confused about schedule on uscis	this sucks!!!	Ngoc-Anh	Female	Germany	2006-08-21 05:17:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	confused about schedule on uscis	oh no! I just looked up at the I-129F Form we filed and could not find anything about IMBRA. So it looks like this was the wrong form. Do we have to wait until they give us a note of the wrong form or can we go ahead and send the right one?	Ngoc-Anh	Female	Germany	2006-08-21 05:10:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	confused about schedule on uscis	Oh man... I guess I really did not understand. What does IMBRA means? Is it a good sign if there is nothing coming in the mail since the NOA?	Ngoc-Anh	Female	Germany	2006-08-21 03:46:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	confused about schedule on uscis	oh great, but well if they work faster than than schedule....it does not bother me!	Ngoc-Anh	Female	Germany	2006-08-21 03:31:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	confused about schedule on uscis	Now I have to post again because I am really confused. According to uscis csc is working on filed with the receipt date of march 06 2006. Now I read that many people got their NOA2 approved eventhough their NOA is may 06 or later. How is it possible? Of course it is great if this is that way! Everything is so confusing!	Ngoc-Anh	Female	Germany	2006-08-21 02:11:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Does anyone filed to NSC with no note of forwarding to CSC	Hey, it's me again. Is here anyone else that filed to petition to NSC but did not get any not of that the case has been forwarded to CSC? The only think we got until today is that the receipt was june 21st. What if they lost the file somewhere in between NSC and CSC?	Ngoc-Anh	Female	Germany	2006-08-22 06:55:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	New and confused!	Welcome to my world (probably to many other's world as well!)	Ngoc-Anh	Female	Germany	2006-08-22 09:22:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	USCIS site	From what I've seen, I don't believe there will be a list of how many touches you get...only that the date will change when and if you do get them. But like what was said previously, it's random...some people get a lot, some none, some in between but you never know if it's a good or bad thing...the only thing you can contemplate is that they're (CIS) is doing something. So just sit back, relax and focus more of your time with your S/O rather than stressing over CIS's incompetence. Good luck to ya! how true is the update list on uscis for the cases. I really cannot believe that a file is sitting there for 2 months without being touched....I know german offices work that way but I thought they were actually the only one!!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Possible to sign up at uscis twice	I got a question. My fiance sign up for the online update on uscis. I did not know that he did so already so I went ahead and sign up again. Is it possible to sign up twice?	Ngoc-Anh	Female	Germany	2006-08-24 14:43:00
