IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresMailing in i864 + IV together ?

AOS has its own barcode cover sheet, attach it in front of the AOS package.

IV has its own barcode cover sheet as well, attach it in front of the IV package.

Group them separately and put it in the envelope and mail it.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedurescontinuation sheets format

Put it on a blank paper, not a second G325A form. Just make sure to do the following so there's no problems: put both the beneficiary and petitioner's names and dates of birth as a header, as the title mention its a supplemental sheet for G325A, and include the question number and the actual question, then continue the information. Then just include this paper behind the G325A form. And on the G325A form, on the question number, don't forget to write in 'see supplemental sheet for more info' or something similar to that.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresIR-1 or CR-1
I think yes she should get IR-1 visa. You can point out this issue in visa interview. Also you can do at POE. I heard that some people got CR-1 visa and after getting that visa they have waited some days to complete 2 years requirement. After that they did POE and they have told to the Immigration Officer at POE and they got 10 year greencard(IR-1).In your case u have completed 2 year before your interview so you can resolve this thing at Interview time. Good luck to ur up-coming interview.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresPacket 4 from Embassy

Sorry good information but a little confused on package IV. What is the VFS office? The way I read the NCS procedures you get you Case number and payment number. Second you pay. Third you get the Application and the package 4. The beneficiary has to have all the stuff listed and send to the NCS right? Then your wife also needs a complete copy for interview plus medical, plus a fresh police report. (Ukraine) Am I understanding all correctly? Thanks


VFS Global is a trusted partner to the U.S. diplomatic mission in India and manages the administrative function of the visa application process.So here we have to submit all docs to VFS office prior to the visa Interview.I dont know about your country specific process.May be you have to follow NCS,but i am not sure.Somebody from your country can answer ur question.
Er NealMaleIndia2010-11-04 11:25:00

Yes, LoTo is right.If you have interview letter in your email then you can go for medical exam. After that print out the regarding forms(like DS-230) of Packet-4 from the USCIS website and submit all your docs to the VFS office.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresi864 and i864a

Thanks so much for all your input guys, much appreciated. Wow - its confusing for me and I dont have to fill out the forms!

The household size is currently 3 - and when i arrive it'll be 4.


The household size will be 3 during the form I-864 fill up and submition.
Er NealMaleIndia2010-11-04 11:16:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresi864 and i864a

What if her father claim somebody beside beneficiary on his Tax return then what would be the Total Household size 03 or add number of claim person....... Little confuse on this part :bonk:


Here her father is household sponsor not a co-sponsor.So even if her father claim somebody as a dependent on his Tax return,hes/she will not be counted. There is no colum in I-864 for adding the dependent of the Household Sponsor. But suppose if her father lives at other address and he is going to file I-864 as a co-sponsor then he will list his dependent children in Item#21 d & other dependents in Item#21 e. So here the household size will not be affected.Here her father is sharing his only personal income.
Er NealMaleIndia2010-11-04 02:05:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresi864 and i864a

So I can conclude like this. If I miss anything, please let me know.

Even if the petitioner wants to show one of the joint sponsors' I-864A (because this one joint sponsor/household member makes enough income), it is recommended to include both the joint sponsors' I-864A (husband and wife joint sponsors in this case) so that each joint sponsor is aware of the other joint sponsor's contractual obligation.

Loto


If your conclusion is right based on anh map & pushbrk's above information then i think it looks like weird to me,IMO. What you think LoTo? If it is right then let me know,so i can change my database in my mind.
Er NealMaleIndia2010-11-04 01:01:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresi864 and i864a

That's correct :thumbs:

Petitioner's and the household member's(dad) combined income is above poverty guideline, any other household member's income is NOT needed.

Show dad's personal income if they have married filing jointly. If dad has filed taxes separately, it is even easier.

Loto


:thumbs: ......Thanks LoTo.
Er NealMaleIndia2010-11-03 14:14:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresi864 and i864a

Whether an I-864a asks for household size to be totaled or not, the fact that Dad is married will have an impact. I would advise an I-864a from each parent.


But i think after combining the income of petitioner and the household member(dad) is above poverty guideline then dont need I-864A from her mom. Let see what other say??If i am wrong then correct me plz.

Richi's wife will file I-864 and her father will file I-864A. Now the household size in I-864 is as follow and there is no household size in I-864A.

Item #21 a - Richi(beneficiary) ------------------> 01

Item #21 b - Richi's wife(petitioner) ------------> 01

Item #21 g - Petitioner's Dad(household member) --> 01
=======================================================
Total Household Size = 03

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresWhat next after visa obtained

Take care of and local requirement for leaving the country: CFO stamp, exit clearance, etc.

Make travel plans to the U.S.

Arrive in the U.S. and process through the POE.

Wait for your Social Security Card and "Green Card" to arrive in the mail.

SS typically takes 2-3 week and "Green Card" typically takes 4-6 weeks.

If you don't receive your SS card in a timely manner, visit the local SSA office and fill out an SS-5 to apply for an SSN.

At the 21 month point, submit the proper documents to file for removal of conditions and receive a 10 year "Green Card"



At least those are the plans that my wife and I have once she gets her visa. :thumbs::innocent:

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresImmigration... but 24 years ago..

Rumba,

Sponsor's obligations under a Form I-864 will end if the person who becomes a permanent resident based on a Form I-864 that you signed:

1) Becomes a U.S. citizen
2) Has worked, or can be credited with, 40 quarters of coverage under the Social Security Act;
3) No longer has lawful permanent resident status, and has departed the United States;
4) Becomes subject to removal, but applies for and obtains in removal proceedings a new grant of adjustment of status,based on a new affidavit of support, if one is required; or
5) Dies.

Note that divorce does not terminate your obligations under this Form I-864.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresSubmiting more information

Its too late to frontload your petition.. I tried to do what you want to do and the info never got put in the file but was recieved by USCIS.... its a waste of time and $.IMO.

on another note.... if it did make it to the case folder, by the time the file gets to HCMC, the CO may see the late addition and wonder why are you adding more info.. is there some issue in the case that you are tryng to compensate for...

all you can do now is get it together with the interview paperwork and hope they look at it... they are well known for not accepting evidence or even looking at it at the interview in HCMC...

Hi kapad...congrets. On that day me and kapad's wife has the interview at same time. We both also called on same window for interview and we both got APPROVED.And yeah that CO lady was nice. She was just asking standard questions. When i went to VFS before interview to submit my docs then they have returned my 2 local district police pcc. She told me we need only Regional Passport Office PCC. Even during the interview time they were not asking for local PCCs. One more thing they have returned me 2008 & 2007 years returns and also IRS transcripts. They have just kept my wife's 2009 year return.They just need only main docs,bcoz they want to make the Yellow(brown) envelops lighter.During my waiting time i seen that they were just focusing only on marriage album.Thanks to everyone who helped us.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresquestion about the I-864 forms
Its always better to print forms directly from the USCIS website.Sometimes they sent expired or previous version forms. It happens to me,i got older version forms of DS-230 and other forms in packet-3. Mostly they also sent you the same forms which are available on their site.But on USCIS website you will get always the latest forms.

Er NealMaleIndia2010-11-21 12:42:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresWhat form does my sponsor fill out?

Sometimes, people confuses with the terms, Neal.

They will think it is my father, so he is household.

If he has not shown his father as a dependent in the previous tax returns or his father lives at different address, I doubt his father would be under household definition.

:thumbs: Thats correct LoTo.

@Mikhail : Please confirm us that you and your dad are living at the same address or not?
