IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	CR-1 time specifications	I’ve got a quick question for the group – hopefully someone can assist. I’m curious as to whether the CR-1 process has time limitations/benchmarks similar to the K-1 process. For example, I understand that under the K-1 process once my fiancée were to receive her visa she has 60 days to travel to the U.S. (I think that’s correct….could be mistaken) and once in the U.S. we have 90 days to marry. Does the CR-1 have similar time constraints? Once she receives the CR-1 visa does she have a certain timeframe in which she must travel to the U.S? The reason I ask is I would prefer to utilize the CR-1 path versus K-1 or K-3. Once the visa is approved I wonder if we’ll be told she must travel to the U.S. within ‘x’ days. I’m trying to anticipate any future problems. We have to get out of the contract for the apartment we currently have, get rid of furniture and other household belongings that I don’t want to ship to the U.S., et cetera. I guess I’m concerned about having enough time to do all of those things. If there are time constraints that we must meet as part of the CR-1 process it would be good to know in advance. At the moment I’m not aware of any such constraints. Am I mistaken? I mean if she receives the CR-1 visa in July for example and we decide for various reasons that it would be best that she not make the move to the U.S. until December, is there anything within the CR-1 process that prevents this? Any assistance or comments are greatly appreciated.	maadams2004	Male	Dominican Republic	2008-10-09 03:05:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Lawyer advised to file Single, even though Married	SerenityHope is correct. I was actually concerned about the same issue as this is the first filing year under my marriage to my wife who is a Dominican citizen. I called the IRS helpline and spoke to a representative there. She told me that I could submit my return with the applications for ITINs for my wife and step-daughters simultaneously. The woman told me I needed certified copies of birth certificates and passport if passports were available. So my wife went to get the birth certificates for the three of them, they're getting certified and translated, and she'll send them to my CPA stateside for filing. I would think that this would be preferable to filing single as it does show an official shared financial status. Official documentation that your non-U.S. wife/husband is your dependent.	maadams2004	Male	Dominican Republic	2009-02-06 12:33:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Interview - can anyone give me a heads up?	Hi again! My interview is scheduled for Tuesday and I'm pooping myself. I've checked and rechecked the list of documents to take but I just want to clarify a couple of things... The medical results - will they be sent from the doctors to the Consulate here in Frankfurt? Do I need to pick them up and take them myself to my interview? I went to the doctor the Embassy said I needed to go to and did my medical yesterday - so what now? And the DS 230 Part II - do I fill it out before my interview? There's a part where I am instructed not to complete until the consular officer instructs me to - Question 35 - but the rest of it - can i go ahead and fill it on now? And the I 846 - my husband is required to fill that out and I'm supposed to take it with me to the interview - right? I'm too scared to phone or contact them myself - please can someone give me a heads up!	liawilson1978	Female	South Africa	2009-03-12 12:21:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	IR1/CR1 letter - what now???	hi and thank you for your response!!!! we had our interview yesterday, and as far as i was told all our papers were fine and in order, the only thing missing was the medical which had not been FWD to them - i had called the doctor the day before and the day before that to ensure that all was in order, and they had told me that my file had been sent on monday to the consulate - so i think my medical is somewhere out there in the consulate floating around. should i be worried? this whole prosess has left me so paranoid... the embassy told me to come next week to pick up my visa, so i'm hoping all's ok! thanks for the heads up on AZ...I just want to GET THERE!	liawilson1978	Female	South Africa	2009-03-19 01:34:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	IR1/CR1 letter - what now???	Hi all, I'm Lia and I'm new here Ok here's the story... My husband is military, we're here in Germany until the end of the month when he's scheduled to PCS to Arizona. We received a letter about notice of approval of "relative immigrant visa petition", about 2 weeks ago. It says here "that petition to classify the beneficiary as an immediate relative of a united states citizen has been FWD to the american consulate in frankfurt." Ok one question is - what does this letter mean - i'm a total newbie to all of this - and my end basic down to the bone want/wish is to be able to be with my husband asap... we received the "yellow check list" and my case number the day we filed here in frankfurt, along with the I-864 and the I-865 forms which my husband still needs to fill out now as far as i understand i need to get a medical and contact the consulate in order for them to give me an appointment once i have all the documents i need - only waiting on my german police clearance... I'm sorry this is coming up all jumbled. I visited the States before on a J-1 visa - so I have a SSN, does this help us in anyway - considering that I might be in the "system"? Since my husband is leaving in about 3 weeks - does anyone think I'll be able to get an appointment that soon? If not I'll be going back to SA where I hope we can carry on with things timeously. So if anyone can offer advice - anything - like how far we are in the whole prosess,what to expect e.t.c... you'd only be helping me! thanks all!	liawilson1978	Female	South Africa	2009-03-07 01:18:00

Middle East and North Africa	age different	I know this might be a little off- topic here, since my husband is the USC and I am German (no ME-NA involved)- but still, even though both of us are absolutely fluent in both languages (which I consider a huge plus!), every now and then we have a little language based misunderstanding. Sometimes it's more the feeling to a word or the way it's spoken than the acutal meaning that causes these misunderstandings... This is just to show that no matter how closely related the two cultures are and no matter how well each one of us knows the other one's culture (both have lived in the other country for years)- getting married to someone from another country, continent or culture is most likely never going to be a straight forward thing but implies lots of tolerance, patience and humor! But it's well worth it, I think Good luck to all of you!	sophyie	Female	Germany	2006-10-04 02:17:00

Middle East and North Africa	honeymoon with the WHOLE family?	I know it's none of my business, but still, this is a public forum after all... So here's my 2 cents. first, I loved this thread. Remember? It used to be about honeymoons and families... I loved it because it gave me a little bit of an insight in a life and culture I know next to nothing about. then, I thought it was kind of funny (premarital sex or not?). now, I just find it sad. (and still can't stop reading ) Why can't you just agree on disagreeing? As long as both of you are happy with the marriages you live- where's the point? You won't convince one another of what's "right" or "wrong" anyway.	sophyie	Female	Germany	2006-10-14 12:00:00
Middle East and North Africa	honeymoon with the WHOLE family?	I honestly didn't even know there were men that are "feminists" . (Might be a language thing though, I'm pretty sure in German we would use the term "feminist" only for women) To the whole "pre-marital sex or not"- discussion: I think it should be every woman's (actually every couple's) decision, and as long as they agree with one another- I don't see why anything should be illegal... actually, by making something illegal, it might be even more interesting to some.	sophyie	Female	Germany	2006-10-13 13:35:00

Might be surprising, but Lufthansa flies FRA-PDX nonstop, I don't know about France though... btw, my most disliked POE (and that was years before I even started thinking about immigrating!) was O'Hare.

Middle East and North Africa	NA/ME and Illness	I went for my bladder infection (calcium in the water and also ice cold water wudu and baths...hehehe ye I am not so tough as I thought) She prescribed me some antibotics which work within 3 days (same as in the USA) Generally I donnot trust any doctor cos I have had bad experiences (in the US) with them... I opt for natural medicine... but I was pleasantly surprised with this doctor. Propably a really stupid question to ask, but do you have access to cranberrys/cranberry juice or something alike? That might help a lot with the bladder infection... also: drink as much water and tea as you can... btw: in German supermarkets they don't refrigerate eggs either (we do at home though)	sophyie	Female	Germany	2006-10-16 11:12:00
Middle East and North Africa	Ramadan Kiss	I think it also is a matter of "intuition": I find it strange that people very often just don't notice that they are dressed (and/or behave!- thinking: taking picture without making sure it's ok) inappropriately- and that happens so often, no matter where in the world you are.

Middle East and North Africa	Ramadan Kiss	I find it a little sad to see pictures like that, because it shows a lack of respect and (also of interest) for the country and culture you're visiting.

Middle East and North Africa	More kids with second marriage?	Both of my children were birth control babies.... it's the only way I can conceive... and I'm not old Now that scares me! 50 is the new 30! I can add a little bit of a view from the "other" side: Of all my friends back in highschool I always had the "oldest" mum. She had me when she was 35 and where I grew up- that was considered quite old. I LOVE IT! I never had one day in my life wishing I had a younger mum. She's an artist, she's a little "crazy" in a good kind of way and she most certainly lives up to the "50 is the new 30"! Now she's 60 and is planning to work in the Australian outback for 6 months and then come to see me in the States- fortunately her health allows all that.	sophyie	Female	Germany	2006-10-29 16:20:00

And no matter how little you sleep, force youself to get up in the morning. It takes me a good week to get back to normal and that is with a 9 hour time difference. Greetings to the icey Seattle!

Middle East and North Africa	muslim marriage tips	Our expectations (and what we lived before in Egypt) of marriage: "Don't expect me to be an American husband."

Middle East and North Africa	muslim marriage tips	I dislike the Christian/Muslim lines that are being drawn, as if we are two different species. You enter the Christian threads and no one is posting how this is only applies to Christians. They have been been quite welcoming of the entire forum. Seems to me, the same courtesy should be extended to the non-Muslim VJ members in the Muslim threads, and their contributions should be both welcomed and valued. Seriously, I don't get the distinctions that are being made and the things that have been implied. I realize we all have different beliefs even when we share a religion, but it seems obvious to me that focusing on our similarities rather than our differences would be less divisive and more in accordance with your religion, whatever it may be. Lesson learned I post in an islamic woman's forum and I'll keep my religious questions there from now on. Just was trying to gain insite from as many peeps as I know who are muslim because I was under the impression that the expectations that Allah has of us as wives are different than in other religions. For example I read that if a muslim wife rejects her husband's come on for sex, the angels curse her from the time she sleeps until the morning. That isn't anything I've ever heard of in Christianity so things like that is what I was looking for. You're right though....this is not the forum for religious discussions. I think that's kinda sad- found this topic highly interesting. I like different views to things and have always found something "useful" .	sophyie	Female	Germany	2006-11-27 15:04:00

Now we have seen everyones thoughts on 'muslim marriage tips', when does the 'christian marriage tips' thread start? Jackie I guess in a "christian marriage tips"- thread you'd find very similar posts What has worked for me/us in the past is to not try and change the other, treat each other with respect and be tolerant and patient.

Middle East and North Africa	Honor Killings	Here's a somewhat recent (from 2005) example of (non- arab) honor killings in a western country: THE DEATH OF A MUSLIM WOMAN"The ####### Lived Like a German" By Jody K. Biehl in Berlin In the past four months, six Muslim women living in Berlin have been brutally murdered by family members. Their crime? Trying to break free and live Western lifestyles. Within their communities, the killers are revered as heroes for preserving their family dignity. How can such a horrific and shockingly archaic practice be flourishing in the heart of Europe? The deaths have sparked momentary outrage, but will they change the grim reality for Muslim women? Hatin Surucu just wanted to live her own life. Instead, she became Berlin's latest victim of honor killings. Her Turkish Muslim brothers allegedly gunned her down for adopting Western ways. The shots came from nowhere and within minutes the young Turkish mother standing at the Berlin bus stop was dead. A telephone call from a relative had brought her to this cold, unforgiving place. She thought she would only be gone for a few minutes and wore a light jacket in the freezing February wind. She had left her five-year-old son asleep in his bed. He awoke looking for his mother, who, like many Turkish women in Germany, harbored a secret life of fear, courage and, ultimately, grief. Now her little boy has his own tragedy to bear: His mother, Hatin Surucu, was not the victim of random violence, but likely died at the hands of her own family in what is known as an "honor killing." Hatin's crime, it appears, was the desire to lead a normal life in her family's adopted land. The vivacious 23-year-old beauty, who was raised in Berlin, divorced the Turkish cousin she was forced to marry at age 16. She also discarded her Islamic head scarf, enrolled in a technical school where she was training to become an electrician and began dating German men. For her family, such behavior represented the ultimate shame -- the embrace of "corrupt" Western ways. Days after the crime, police arrested her three brothers, ages 25, 24 and 18. The youngest of the three allegedly bragged to his girlfriend about the Feb. 7 killing. At her funeral, Hakin's Turkish-Kurdish parents draped their only daughter's casket in verses from the Koran and buried her according to Muslim tradition. Absent of course, were the brothers, who were in jail. The crime might be easier to digest if it had been an archaic anomaly, but five other Muslim women have been murdered in Berlin during the past four months by their husbands or partners for besmirching the family's Muslim honor. Two of them were stabbed to death in front of their young children, one was shot, one strangled and a fifth drowned. It seems hard to fathom, but in the middle of democratic Western Europe -- in Germany, a nation where pacifism is almost a universal mantra -- murderous macho patriotism not only exists but also appears to be thriving. It may even be Germany's liberalism -- and its post World War II fear of criticizing minority cultures -- that has encouraged ultra-religious families to settle here. The problem is that much of this insular and ultra-religious world is out of public view, often hidden in inner-city apartments where the most influential links to the outside world are satellite dishes that receive Turkish and Arabic television and the local mosque. Tens of thousands of Turkish women live behind these walls of silence, in homes run by husbands many met on their wedding day and ruled by the ever-present verses of the Koran. In these families, loyalty and honor are elevated virtues and women are treated little better than slaves, unseen by society and often unnoticed or ignored by their German neighbors. To get what they want, these women have to run. They have to change their names, their passports, even their hair color and break with the families they often love, but simply can no longer obey. (...) The Turkish women's organization Papatya has documented 40 instances of honor killings in Germany since 1996. Examples include a Darmstadt girl whose two brothers pummelled her to death with a hockey stick in April 2004 after they learned she had slept with her boyfriend. In Augsburg in April, a man stabbed his wife and 7-year-old daughter because the wife was having an affair. In December 2003, a Tuebingen father strangled his 16-year-old daughter and threw her body into a lake because she had a boyfriend. Bullets, knives, even axes and gasoline are the weapons of choice. The crime list compiled by Papatya is an exercise in horror. And the sad part, said Boehmecke, is that it is far from complete. "We'll never really know how many victims there are. Too often these crimes go unreported." In many cases, fathers -- and sometimes even mothers -- single out their youngest son to do the killing, Boehmecke said, "because they know minors will get lighter sentences from German judges." In some cases, these boys are revered by their community and fellow inmates as "honor heroes" -- a dementedly skewed status they carry with them for the rest of their lives. Currently, six boys are serving time in Berlin's juvenile prison for honor killings. "In a way, these boys are victims, too," she said. Sometimes they are forced to kill their favorite sister. http://www.spiegel.d...,344374,00.html Edited by sophyie, 05 January 2007 - 11:31 AM.	sophyie	Female	Germany	2007-01-05 11:29:00

Middle East and North Africa	Pregnancy and filing question	O ok... another even stupider sounding question. If she is in the process of getting her USC, does her time in the US count as a PR count for the one year or does she really need to be USC for this to count? Sorry if I am annoying or confusing anyone. That's a tough one. I don't know. My interpretation would be that you'd have to be USC and lived in the US before the birth of the baby (or maybe while pregnant?) It's an interesting question... what happens to a baby if the mother is going through the process of becoming a USC- that would be worth a call at a US embassy or at the naturalization office (if there's such thing)...	sophyie	Female	Germany	2007-01-23 11:32:00

I didn't tell her about my concern, because I don't want to freak her out and maybe I shouldn't even be concerned. she is also planning on applying at a university when she is in the us. what do you guys think? I think it would be easier for her to apply at a US university while she is still in germany and then come over on a student visa. She does risk secondary if she has been denied a visa, i would double check cuz she will have to do that new electronic vwp, and it may not let her come over on that if she has been denied. I got this from the travel.gov site "A recent visa denial for any reason could result in denial of an authorization via ESTA, additional questioning at the port of entry, or denial of admission to the United States. Applicants who are uncertain of whether they qualify for VWP travel may choose to apply for a visa. " http://travel.state....thout_1990.html She would probably have to provide a ton of evidence that she is coming back if they even did let her through, and she might be denied the student visa if she applying for it while in the US, and she cant stay on a visitors visa to goto school, or the vwp. Also tell her that if she thinks she may ever want to marry him and come over to the states, the more she screws around with the visas the higher her odds are of AP, not something I would want to risk. thanks danu, exactly what I was thinking. on her facebook profile she said something like "stupid ESTA". need to asked her what exactly she meant by that. I have always made sure that I only applied for visas that I was pretty sure I can get and never travelled on the vwp more than once every two years if at all. I know they are considering marriage at some point. hope I can help her. thanks again	FranziskaS	Female	Germany	2009-06-08 17:33:00

That's what I am doing right now, but I also don't have any expenses living with my parents. Mat and I never talk on skype, he thinks the whole video thing is weired. From germany I can dial certain numbers that I can find online. Right now I am calling for 1,8 cent the minute to the US. welcome, viknkam	FranziskaS	Female	Germany	2009-06-05 02:58:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	March 2009 K1 Filer	how do I get our picture to display on the lefthand side below my name? timeline is frozen. been 12 days for csc since the last noa2. annoying. did I tell you guys my fiancee has a puppy since mid may and I can't see them it is our first dog. my soon to be mother in law called the senator have him call uscis. senator promised that our petition will leave uscis within 60 days. I think my fiancee thought he meant I have the visa in 60 days. really hope we are approved in less than 60 days. enough whining for tonight. hope you are all hanging in there. tonight my thoughts are with the victims of the Air-France-Flight AF-447	FranziskaS	Female	Germany	2009-06-03 19:49:00

I found three alone in december filers that already had their interview date, but didn't put in their NOA2 date. not that it makes our approvals come faster but it seems like it also I believe that each month about 5-10 members abandon their timeline. I was happy to see that vj sent out a notice to update timelines. enough complained for the day. welcome, josh Yeah, our timelines are already messed up why play with them more? Anyway, the May filer was nice and corrected the error almost immediately after I drew his attention. I'm still looking forward to the first March filer approved by CSC again a sort of march filer got approved. they sent their petition on 2-10 and got noa1 on 3-11. they got their noa2 on 5-22. sometimes I think people put in the dates as noa1 and noa2 when they recieved it in the the mail. that's what I had saying in my timeline for the first week, when I noticed this link which says where to find your noa1. anyways, May has passed, shall June be our month. I've noticed a lot of petitions got approved in a three months timeframe, so this has to be our month, pleeeeeeease	FranziskaS	Female	Germany	2009-06-01 01:34:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	March 2009 K1 Filer	you are right about money. you guys will probably have the greatest day of your life not matter how little you spend. and friends and family know how to make the best food anyways. many people don't understand that we want to have a wedding this year without a big party. but we rather save our money for next year. the only thing that confuses me is that I whish I could pick my wedding date this year to have our wedding next year on the same date. but right now that seems impossible to plan. I also want to go back to germany for my grandparents 60. anniversary december 17. 2009 . So I need to manage to get married and file for aos in time to get an AP before dec. 17th. every now and then I am afraid I won't make it. also our best friends are getting married on September 19. this year.......meaning I really need this NOA2.....soon...please..... btw we got a new puppy, well, my fiancee gets to enjoy the little boy.....so sad I can't see him in person....
