QUOTE (mikeleighb @ May 8 2008, 06:25 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hello everyone,
I see this date is finally here for me. I fully realize that this is just an estimate but i do have some questions.

1. Is there any chance of getting any real information? I remember calling every week months ago asking where is my receipt and getting nothing.

2. Will they even recognize that i am overdue? the uscis website says Aug 19. will they even consider my call or just blow me off?

3. if anyone thinks i should call, what do you suggest i say or ask? is there anything i can do to get them to actually look at my case?

For some reason i feel that calling will be another waste of my lunch hour, so please let me know what you think.

Thanks everyone!


hopefull soon you are just about that time it should be approved and going overtime.
I know another VJer that just got his NOA2 and he filed end of August. He had his congressman and senator look into it but nothing worked.

CSC received our application on 10/9/2007. Chicago supposedly processed that last Monday but so far the check hasn't been cashed. We will give it until the end of the week before pursing matters with the USCIS. It is concerning that there are still several late September filers who haven't yet received their NOA1s. I got quite excited last week when I saw Chicago had processed applications on our date but as each day passes I am now getting more worried whether we will ever see a NOA1.



I am totally frustrated,I mailed mine September 24th,texas recieved on sept.27th,as of yet,nothing,no check cashed,no NOA1,I get different answers from USCIS each time i call.
according to their website they are on Oct 22.I too , was getting very excited when the chicago lockbox was posting almost everyday their progress,only to be let down even more.
Is this torture or what? unbeleivable.



Hope you get answer soon! good.gif

Does anyone know if NVC pick other Express Except DHL ? Thanks!

don't worry about tracking.....it will never be or also never be shown received. only in customs

expect P-3 6 to 8 weeks....check DOS about 5 weeks to see if mailed
P-4 with interview date 3 to 8 weeks from return of P-3

that's how it's been recently

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedurespermission to study?
QUOTE (marends @ Aug 9 2009, 06:00 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Dear All: My wife came to the U.S. on a medical B-2 and is currently adjusting status to permanent resident (CR-1). She's received her travel document (advance parole) and her Employment Authorization card. She really would like to attend a few classes at the local community college. At what point during AOS is she allowed to study? Does the employment card give her authorization also to study, or does she have to wait for her CR-1 visa (permanent resident card)? Thanks.



I could be wrong but there should be no reason why she can't take college course as long as she is in the US legally.
Be sure you can get in state tuition. Paying out of state could be a deal breaker, unless of course money is no object.

QUOTE (WolfRhan @ Aug 12 2009, 09:08 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hi,
My wife has her interview on 20 August in Guangzhou.
Well, her instruction packet didn't inlude the requirment for form GIV-24, but her friend told her she needed it.
She called the consulate and they confirmed she needed it!

So now we are filling it out, does anyone have the instructions or know how Question 7 differs from Question 6?
(There is an online instruction link, but its broken)

Are there any more forms she may need?

I expect this will go well and she probaly has way more stuff than she could need.

So, bonus question - how does she get an SSN? We need that ASAP so she can apply for a learner permit.

Thanks

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresChat Logs - specific format required?
QUOTE (chinesestunna @ Aug 10 2009, 07:46 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hi VJers,

So my wife and I are doing preparation work for her interview and one of the documentations that we are bringing is our chat logs both in MSN and Skype. Here's the issue:

1) For Skype, since I have 4.1 it doesn't give you the chat logs in a special window, but rather inline from the chat window. So what I have done is make the chat window display all our chats from the beginning and copy/pasted to a Word doc. My wife is insisting that this will not work, that it has to be within the specific "Skype History" window and screen captured instead of copy/pasted. She is also insisting that despite all the chat entries has my name on it, the call entries only say "Call to <my wife> " instead of "Call from <me> to <wife>", and that this will be a problem.

2) For MSN, same deal, since I don't use MSN but rather Trillian, my logs are not in the same format as MSN - not in a special history window but a txt file with all the time/dates and participants clearly marked.

She is adamant that the Consulate General will reject these documents because they are not in the "correct format" and I feel that's extremely unfair given that there are different software available and people can't control how the software renders the actually recorded content.

What do you guys think?


the main thing is that you have a good representative examples - like once a month showing activity. there is 'no' format just that it shows that dates and time you where chatting. don't go too overboard, i.e., 1000 of pages.

good luck

My wife is applying for the CR1/K3. According to time lines, this will take almost a year to process. Can she apply for a tourist visa from the nearest embassy/consulate in China after we've filed for CR1/K3?

Would the tourist visa interview officer think that she's going to come to the US on vacation and not leave the US because she has a husband here?

Also, does anyone have experience applying for Chinese tourist visas to the US? Do Chinese tourists need to go with tour groups? Or can they roam freely?


yes

probably

if she gets a visa and is granted entry into the USA she can roam freely... the big question is will she be given a visa and allowed into the USA...

My wife did exactly that through the consulate at Shengyang. She was here for 3 months then returned to China to wait for the K-3 interview.


ask on
www.candleforlove.com

I think it's a bad idea unless she has been granted before i.e., she is not a risk and will return. - she's rich and has more to lose by being in the USA illegally.

On Monday when I was printing out evidence for my interview in 2 weeks, I wanted to get an updated call log for Skype, since the last time I saved it was back at the beginning of March. Unfortunately, the program didn't work, and I remembered seeing this thread where other people were having problems also. I just tried the program again now and it worked! No problems whatsoever. Perhaps everyone else should give it another try too!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsThere is no status update for the passport number submitted?

Gown, you beat the system!  I'm surprised you didn't have to submit a 27 B/6!  Kidding!  Don't look up the form--it's a reference from the bureaucratic movie Brazil.

 

Have patience, and keep checking.  Once it changes sometimes everything comes together, or as Gowon say, maybe it doesn't change at all, but you will get your visa.  Good luck!
