I'm sorry people for acting the way i did. I guess i was irritated from some of the replies. i will read the guides and understand them before i post questions. I only acted like that because i want my girl to be with me and when people tell me i cant have a cosponsor for the k-1 i was sad and try to be rite and argue with people who know more than me. I'm going on the cr-1 path and try to read and understand the guide. Alot of people recommend the cr-1 because my fiancee can get the green card easier. sorry for the way i acted please forgive me and i will be on my best behavior on these forums.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion on DS-230
Wow...like I said...this is an awesome forum.

Thanks so much for the rapid replies. Your posts made me happy i stayed awake all nite looking for a way to expedite this painfully, deliberately, slow process.

And as an aside...You helped me win a bet with my wife! ;)

Devbit, you say that I should date the forms when I send them...let me ask you this, will it look odd to the NVC if they send me her forms on the 20th, I recieve them on the 24th...but mail them back on the 25th?

Cuz my plan would be to have her fill them out and have them waiting here when the NVC package arrives. I would then send her copies immediately. The NVC won't say..."How the heck did these get to Thailand and back so soon"? LOL. that is why I am confused about the date thing. Or are you saying I should wait a week, date them, then send them back.

Sorry if I am being redundant (or simple)...ZERO sleep late nite. Thanks again for your help!

Doc-cute, Do you think the NVC does not care one way or the other if the barcodes are on the paperwork or not? I ask because maybe they gave you a break and would prefer the barcodes in most instances. Thanks again for your reply!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion on DS-230
Hi, like everyone in here, I am looking for a way to speed up this process.

I am in the states and my wife in Thailand. We are to the point where I have paid the 846 fees (await the package) and the NVC has received her petition designating me as our agent.

I have already filled out the 846 and await the NVC's actual documents, before submitting, with any additional requests.

Looking at the flowchart, I see my wife needs to fill out the DS-230 (signing page 1 but not page 2).

Here's where I am trying to save some time:

Could I just have her download the forms, fill them out and send to me? This way they will be ready when the NVC sends me, the agent, the actual forms. I would then place them in the NVC's included envelope and send back to them. Is this cool or will this anger someone?

I understand there is a question asking if "anyone helped fill out the forms?" Would it be wrong to just say yes and admit that we are trying to expedite the process??

Anyone know where the best (legal and current) copy of this form can be downloaded?

I thank you (very much) in advance. Both for your time and this great forum.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresTranslated docs
I apologise for myn plethora of questions, but the search feature is down.

After exhaustive research in this excellent forum, I have decided to (have my wife) download DS230, sign and send to me (as agent). I will then fill out and submit to the NVC.

I now they are going to ask for some extras...like PP-bio page and birth certificate. Does this have to be translated? Probably a stupid question, but she is far from BKK and cannot find a translater in her town. Suggestions would be appreciated.

BTW...I know there is a link that shows what extra info the NVC wants for the 230...but for some reason I cannot open it. Can someone tell us, aside from the items mentioned above, what they might be?

One more question....Her passport has her signature in Thai. Should she sign the (first page of) 230 the same or in english? Thanks so much and know that one day i will offer help to a newb as well.

Hi,

My wife and I are at the -submit 864 and DS 230-stage.

I am about 20 hours away from her (she's in Thailand) and we would like to hire someone to help her dot the I's and cross the T's in Packet 3.

Sunbelt's pricing seems to be a ood deal....too good to be true?

Please offer your opinion on this operation. I have tried the search engine but it is down and we don't want to lose what little momentum we have.

Thank you very much.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresDS-230 Supporting documents
Thanks for that link! It says we will need to copy the bio pages of my wife's pp. But it is in Thai. Does that have to be translated prior to sending to the NVC?

Also, on the passport, her name is written in Thai but the applications are in her english name. How should she sign the DS...in Thai (like her PP) or in English??

Hope I didn't thread-jack here...just searching for info and found this informative topic.

Thanks.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresIV fee generated...can send payment before arrival?

I was just curious. I have read that once an item from the NVC is "generated" that it is officially in the system and therefore, a timesaving method would be to go ahead and send fee (or item) to the NVC immediately.

Anyone know if this is true? I have paid the fee for my 864 and await the bill for my (Thai) wife's DS 230.

Anyone know the amount of the fee?

Thanks so much.


The IV fee must be sent in with the IV fee bill, which you don't have yet. The IV fee bill has the case number on it as well as a case-specific barcode. It also has to be sent to an address in St. Louis, not to the NVC in NH.

Most things can be sent in as soon as they're generated if you're willing to "self-generate" the barcoded forms yourself, as the shortcuts in this thread demonstrate. However, the IV fee bill is the one document that is as yet incapable of being "self-generated" because of an odd, apparently random check number that is assigned to the case number on the document.



Thanks for the reply/information, James. And the best of luck to you and yours.
