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.

Loto


:thumbs: Thats correct LoTo.

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

What happens if OP's father lives at different address?

Loto


You are right LoTo.The OP said ,"there a part of my household, it is my father". So what does that means? Is her dad living with her at same address or its just like for relationship??

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresWhat form does my sponsor fill out?
Your father is living with you as the same address,so you will fill out I-864 & your dad will fill out I-864A. Here both of your income & assets will be combined.Also you need last 3 years or tax returns including W2s or IRS transcripts,copy of citizen certi,copy of passport,last 6 paystubs,job letter,bank letter(optional) and one proof which will shows that you and your dad are living at the same address.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresWhich paper needs to be submitted at VFS

It is ok either way.

If you complete medical before VFS visit, you may hand over to VFS.

If you complete medical after VFS visit, you can bring it to the consulate.

Nice flexibility, huh? :star:

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresWhich paper needs to be submitted at VFS

Just paid Rs.387 and got the receipt. None of the documents (not even photocopies) were submitted at VFS since it was submitted to NVC.

Loto


Yes LoTo you are right.They ask only for Rs/387 if you have already submitted all docs at NVC.But people would like to bring all photocopies for their satisfaction.. :P

Brings all originals and photocopies of all documents. If you have already submitted at NVC then you dont need to submit it again.But if you have not submitted PCC then you can submit it.Also you need to submit the envelope of medical exam result and courier fees of Rs.387 at VFS.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI made a mistake

speaking from experience, if theres any marks cuts and bruises on you document them and the events.take photos of your injuries, without letting on that youre doing that. start building a case for domestic violence. it works both ways. you seem to have morals and you are being played. a mistake is a mistake. you entered into this in good faith, you shouldnt be punished for that. tell a close friend or colleague whats happening, so that you have a witness too. once youve got some evidence together for your own sake, go see a divorce lawyer and take some legal advice. i can tell you it doesnt get any better if you dont take action.
good luck my friend.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresOn POE ,do they stamp I-551 or only arrival stamp?

No I didn't get the above image, I only got the CR-1 written down and the exp date. Let's just wait and hopefully you will get the GC with no problems. I am still waiting for mine. It has been a little less than 4 weeks since I arrived.


Hi Nica...thanks for the information. Yes i will wait and see for GC. And you are almost very close to get ur GC very soon. Did you find or got any job?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresOn POE ,do they stamp I-551 or only arrival stamp?

Neal,

IMO, normally they will put a I-551 stamp with 1 year validity.

The visa page you're talking about is the one issued from the Consulate which will normally expire under 6 months time and it is just single entry visa. Once you touch the U.S soil, this consulate issued visa gets expired.

Whereas, I-551 stamp authorizes traveling outside the U.S, eligibility to work etc. and it is temporary green card until the plastic card arrives.

Plastic card will normally arrive in 3 to 6 weeks time. If you get a Welcome letter before that, you can track the plastic crad in the USCIS website with its Receipt#.

I would pull others who experienced similar situation like you, Neal,

Loto


Hi LoTo......thanks a lot for your reply.I have decided to wait for plastic GC to arrive within 3-4 month.If not come then to make the infopass appointment.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresOn POE ,do they stamp I-551 or only arrival stamp?

Look at the "arrival stamp" it should say "admitted on 11-23-10" and then it should say CR-1 and the date of expiration.


Hi i have seen the arrival stamp, it only shows the admitted date Nov-23-2010 and there is not written CR1 and the exp date. Have you got the above(above image) stamp in your passport?
Er NealMaleIndia2010-11-24 10:52:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresOn POE ,do they stamp I-551 or only arrival stamp?

No worries,you are fine. I had the same situation before, you will get a welcome letter together with your receipt number in the first 2 weeks, that you can always check your CASE STATUS online, after that you will get your green card in the mail before the expiration of your I-551 stamp in passport.
if you have any other question feel free to ask


Hi, but they did not put the I-551 stamp in my passport.I am talking about the following type of stamp. Do they put that type of stamp in CR1?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresOn POE ,do they stamp I-551 or only arrival stamp?
Hi guys,i just reached to USA today morning.First i went through the UC citizens/GC holder line.I gave my passport and the sealed envelope to the immigration officer.After that he took my fingerprints & picture and he put arrival stamp in my passport.Then he directed me into the passport control office.Over there another immi officer has opened my sealed envelope and after that he took my sign & fingerprint on one form and asked me 2 questions.They did not put any I-551 stamp in my passport.I have only the visa page which was issued my consulate. There is a line in VISA stamp which says, "UPON ENDORSEMENT SERVES AS TEMPORARY I-551 EVIDENCING PERMANENT RESIDENCE FOR 1 YEAR".So should they do put any I-551 stamp in passport?They forgot or what? Or is it fine??

Your help will be appreciated.

Thanks

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI'm Worried about the medical

john_007,

As everybody is suggested, overcome this situation before you go to the medical with the U.S panel physician.

If still it persists at the medical, do the following:

Read the guide: http://www.cdc.gov/n...pdfs/hguide.pdfAlso, talk to the U.S panel physician about this, and possibly to the U.S Consulate as well.

Normally, they will be "more worried" about the communicable disease of public health. But, if they say you need a medical waiver, they will advise you.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresHow to calculte current annual income for I-864?
Hi , how to calculate Current Annual Income of USC? My wife earn $10.70/hr and she works for 40hrs/week. Her gross income of last 3 years from 1040 forms are as below:

2007 = $11435
2008 = $17226
2009 = $19839

Now in her last paystub the Year to date(from 01/01/2010 to today) earnings is $10,468.Its little low becuase she didn'd worked for 3 months(jun,july,august) as she came here(india) for marriage. So now i am confuse how to calculate her current annual income??

1) Should i have to take her hourly pay and multiply it by 2080. 2080 is the number of hours a full-time person works per year (based on 40 hours a week) ??

2) Should i have to use figure from 2009 year??

3)Should i have to use the current Year to date Income(which is $10,468) + Pay of rest of the weeks of this year(No of weeks * 40 *$10.70) ??

Please guys give me some sunshine... ur help will be highly appreciated.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAfter interview

1. If you apply with K1 status, your card will also say "valid for work only with DHS authorization". I believe you do not need to apply for a new one until you have your greencard (which will remove teh "valid for work only with DHS authorization" clause)

2. You need the sealed envelope that is sent with your visa

3. No, even if they do stamp it it doesn't mean anything for K1s. You need an EAD.

4. Passport/Visa/Sealed envelope should be all you need
