IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresHow often do people fail the interview?

Hi, I applied for K3 last year, and we have been living in Florida for almost a year now (we moved here October 21st, 2009...and my interview was just over a year ago, October 8th...ahhh, the memories!). :)

I wouldn't worry to much about the interview. You guys are already married, and the only reason I could think of where your wife can get denied is if she had a criminal or civil conviction (based on NBI records) or if she was ineligible due to her medical results. She should just be relaxed, and know how to answer basic questions about you and your relationship (like how you met and such). She should also have with her a copy of the petitions and the supporting documents that came with them (sometimes Embassy people lose stuff and you just want to be prepared...I walked in there with a briefcase chock-full of stuff in case they needed anything...never underestimate the value of a piece of paper. :) )

Click here and scroll down to give your wife an idea about how our interview went and the questions the Immigration Officer asked me and my daughter: http://www.visajourn...le.php?id=64018

It's all a formality...the IO even apologized that we had to wait so long (during the whole visa process, that is). lol God bless you both, I'm sure your wife will pass with flying colors and bring home the pink slip!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCo-sponsor can count his wife's income on his I-864?
Hi guyz thank u so much for ur kind helpful information. I decided to use only her brother's income as it is sufficient.Thanks again for everyone.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCo-sponsor can count his wife's income on his I-864?

It says on the form I-864 to file the I-864A if using the co-sponsor spouse's income. Does your wife live with her bro?

If not...then she files the I-864. Her brother files the I-864. Her sister-in-law files the I-864A (because she lives in the same household as her husband).


Thanks a lot for ur help.Yes my wife lives separate than her brother & sister-in-law's home.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCo-sponsor can count his wife's income on his I-864?

Er,

As Teya told, your wife's brother's and brother's wife's income can be included.

Your wife will file - I-864
Your wife's brother will file - I-864 (assuming he lives in different address of your wife)
Your wife's brother's wife will file - ??? (I don't know if it is I-864 or I-864A)

Since they (brother and brother's wife) are combining income, it seems I-864A.
But since brother's wife has different address of your wife, it seems I-864.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCo-sponsor can count his wife's income on his I-864?
Hi , my wife is my petitioner and her brother is my co-sponsor(I-864).So i want to know that can he include his wife's income in his I-864?? Like in the question of Current Annual Income ,can he write his income + his wife income in this??
He has filled his last 3 years of tax returns and he has included his wife as a dependent.Means they file the tax returns together.So can he add his wife income or not??? Or Should his wife has to fill up form I-864A (or I-864 separate)??

Your help will be appreciated.

Now only option is just wait. You can send emails to Embassy once in a while (may be every week or two) to enquire it.

It can take few weeks to months. Keeping passport with them is a good sign, BTW.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresNVC: What is Checklist??

I'll never know. They just sent the checklist letter saying the passport photos were missing. We had some extra photos and we measured them and they were 2 x 1 3/4. The NVC doesn't explain if the photos we sent were the incorrect size or if they were simply lost and missing. So we took them again and made sure they were 2x2 and sent them back to the NVC.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresJust a question on the fly

They pass it all along (at least it was the case for me). I know because at the end of the interview, they gave me back some of the photos, chat transcripts... that they didn't want to put in the brown envelope for the POE. Those docs I got back were the ones my fiancée sent along with the I-129F to USCIS so yes they travel all the way. I don't know if USCIS and/or NVC keep copies of the docs. I would say no, otherwise they would need a storage facility the size of Texas to keep all the petitions over the years.
That said, they can still ask you for more documents at the embassy if they consider what they got isn't enough.


Good input......... :thumbs:

No AP is needed. There's a stamp on his visa that serves as a temporary green card for one year. The actual card usually arrives within a month.

That's correct. I've been at this more than 2 years now. I know pretty much what to do. Just making double sure.

Even with all the correct papers, there is no guarantee. I've waste almost 2 years already with my K-1.

Please take the time to read the form instructions. They are very useful and contain many answers.


Yes you are absolutely right,it contain all the answers itself.But Anh map,i think mostly people(like me and others) knows their answers but all they are just ask for double confirmation and check. Because this immigration stage is too tuff if somebody will make a small mistake then. What do you think??
Er NealMaleIndia2010-10-28 12:50:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion regarding I-864

Thanks for reponding,

Could you clarify what you mean by "any Household member's income if he/she is living with you at the same address"

Do they have to be a relative or anybody living with me at the same address?


The "household member" is:
->A relative who has the same principal residence as the sponsor and is related to the sponsor as a spouse, adult child, parent, or sibling;

->A relative or other person whom the sponsor has lawfully claimed as a dependent on the sponsor's most recent Federal
income tax return even if that person does not live at the same residence as the sponsor;

->The intending immigrant, in certain circumstances. (See "How Can the Intending Immigrant Be Considered a Household Member"?)

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion regarding I-864
If you did not worked for this year then its fine.But have you any past years tax returns documents?? You are not making any income for this year then you can use any Household member's income if he/she is living with you at the same address. If thats not possible then you can use any Co-sponsor.It may be anyone like your relative or any friend.

Good luck

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresi need to know something

DCF is Direct Consular Filing.

Some petitioners if they live in the beneficiary's country for some period of time, they are eligible to file I-130 petition at the U.S Consulate over there, rather than filing at the USCIS in the U.S.

For DCF people, I-130 will be processed at the foreign consulate, no NVC involvement, and interview at the Consulate. It is much faster and all the steps can be completed in few months time.

EVEN IF AM DFC ?ITS TAKE ALL THAT TIME ?


You should receive your interview letter and packet-4 after 2-3 weeks of submitting your packet-3.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresi-864

Here it is:

You will add Line 21a - 21g on line 21h.

In line 21-c you can put 0 (since you already added your husband on line 21-a)

So line 21h would be total 2.

If you have any specific situation such as dependents or sponsored any other persons in the past, the total count will change.
