IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Still no receipt . . .	A word of advice, if you are using an Iphone or a smartphone, try downloading MagicJack app.  I call NVC for FREE and line is still good on a 360kbps internet bandwidth.   Looks like to resolve your problem, you will need to keep calling them--at zero to minimal cost as much as possible. Good luck!   Thank you for the advice! I guess continuing to call is my only option. I will simply try to find the least expensive way to do so!	AMproductions	Not Telling	Peru	2013-10-28 16:21:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Still no receipt . . .	Does anyone have any other suggestions as to how I might contact the place for requesting a resend of the receipt (I-797)? Preferably online.	AMproductions	Not Telling	Peru	2013-10-26 15:49:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Still no receipt . . .	I don't have a solution, but you may find using Skype to call them a cheaper alternative?   I might have to try that! My internet is a little choppy though, it likes to come and go as it pleases which might be a problem. But that's a great idea and I think I'll give it a go.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Still no receipt . . .	Hi everyone,   I'm having a problem with my wife's I-130 application. You see, we're both here in Peru so our lawyer suggested that we send our application to my mom in Washington first so she could then send it for processing. We sent it to her late May. She then sent it on June 3rd to the Chicago lockbox. On June 12th I got my G-1145 email notification which stated that we should receive our Receipt Notice (Form I-797) within 7-10 days.   On July 16th our case status changed to this:   On July 16, 2013, the post office returned the notice we last sent you on this case I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN as undeliverable. This may have serious effects on processing this case. Please call 1-800-375-5283 to update your mailing address for this notice to be re-sent.   So of course I called them. They said that the problem was I tried having them mail the receipt here to Peru. So we changed the address to my mom's house in Washington and the gentleman told me to wait 10-15 days for the receipt to be resent. So I thought that was that. After 15 days we still had no receipt so I called again. This time someone told me it's supposed to take 15 days to one month and to please be patient. So after a month I called again. He told me not to worry and call again at the end of the month if we still haven't received it. Well being here in Peru I have to buy minutes in order to call to the U.S. And being that we still haven't received the receipt, I'm a little skeptical about continuing to call if I'm just wasting my time and money. The last time I tried calling they attempted to patch me through to another place where I could make my request. However there was over an hour of wait time and being that I'm in Peru I didn't think I would be able to schedule a callback. So my question is this, is there another way I can request that they resend our receipt? I'm worried that our case is being held up unnecessarily. And needless to say we would like it to be moving along as fast as possible.   Thank you in advance.	AMproductions	Not Telling	Peru	2013-10-23 13:45:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	I-864 Questions	You should go to the NVC filers thread read post #1 and #2. http://www.visajourn...ary-2014/page-1   You are the petitioner and the sponsor even though you live in Peru as a US citizen I hope you still been filing your US taxes. You have had to have filed the last 3 or show reason why you weren;t required to.   Do all three really need to file? If its just you and your wife you need to be above $19334. Each of you files a I-864.   Thank you, I read both the posts and unfortunately neither fully answered my questions. I have not been filing my taxes, nor have I ever as I've been living with my parents up until I came here to Peru on vacation. We plan on moving in with my parents upon arriving in the U.S. And we will bringing our son with us as well. So I really don't know exactly, only that I obviously cannot reach $19334 on our own and thus we need the assistance from my parents. So I'm unsure if they need to file the I-864's or I-864A's.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	I-864 Questions	Hello,   I have a couple questions regarding the I-864 form I was hoping you all could help me with. See, I'm currently here in Peru with my (Peruvian) wife and we were recently approved for her I-130 application. So it appears our next step is to fill out the I-864 form. However, neither of us are employed so my mother, father and a friend of ours (who lives with my parents) is going to be providing the income necessary. But I'm a little confused about filling out this form. I'm fairly certain that I would check 1.A I'm the Petitioner. I filed or am filing for the immigration of my relative. And then for wherever it says income I would write Zero as I haven't held down any job. And then in part 6, numbers 6-9, I would fill out that information regarding my parents and friend, correct? And then would I check 11 and have them fill out I-864A's? Or would they be Joint Sponsors and fill out I-864's?   Thank you so very much in advance,   Adam	AMproductions	Not Telling	Peru	2014-01-13 13:47:00
