IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresG-325a question

Heya everyone! 

 

I'm currently filling out the G-325a for my spouse (beneficiary). There is a question that asks: 

 

Applicant's last address outside of the United States of more than 1 year. 

 

I'm not quite sure what to put here because the question right before this one asks for his addresses for the last 5 years. Do I just list his current address here?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresGetting ready to file Cr-1/ forms question

I realize I need to file the I-130 as well as the G-325a. Do I send one copy of each form for both my husband and I? I saw on another site that 4 copies of the G-325a needs to be sent in for each person so I'm a bit confused. 

 

 


Married4Life13FemaleBelgium2014-01-02 15:41:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresOk time to get started.

She's right!  There is such a thing as too much information. I was completely confused at first too but just follow that link and you will be ok smile.png  That's the same guide I followed and I mailed out my I-130 this morning. Good luck to you!

I had about 15 people at mine and it wasn't a problem. I just included a few pictures of them with my husband and I and our I-130 was approved with no RFE. :)

To get your facebook log go to "settings"...then under the language area you will see a link that says "Download a copy of your facebook data".  They will then send the data to you by email. IIt took me about an hour or so to receive the email so be patient :).  Your complete log is sent and messages from all of your contacts will be in there but you can quickly copy and paste messages from your significant other into a Word document.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCase number but told to wait I receive an email.??

30 days after the number is assigned?  UGH! I thought NVC was going to be faster than USCIS but I guess not. :( I flew through USCIS in less than 4 months..


Married4Life13FemaleBelgium2014-07-03 11:05:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCase number but told to wait I receive an email.??

Since you already got your Case #, call NVC again tomorrow or the day after and find out your IIN. At that time give them the beneficiary email ID and confirm your email ID with them. You need both these numbers to log into the CEAC website for submitting DS-261, Pay AOS fees etc.

You should not wait for NVC to send you emails. Once you have the two numbers, you can continue the NVC processing by logging into their website.

 

The thing is WE CANT LOG IN :(  They said we must wait for the email. Trust me Im sure we have all been trying to get in that site. NVC must have changed the process.  I have had the case number, IIN, and the BIN and I can't do a thing yet.

I want to pay the AOS fee now!  I have never been so anxious and excited to pay a bill in my life. Come on NVC! Move it!!   :crying:  


Married4Life13FemaleBelgium2014-07-01 23:11:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCase number but told to wait I receive an email.??

I got my case number, invoice ID number and beneficiary id from NVC when I contacted NVC.  I tried to give my email address and my spouse's email address to NVC.  He told me to call next week to give him my email address and my spouse's email address.  Should I call again to give NVC our email addresses so NVC will email us? 

 

Also, I have attempted to do so and received the message below:

"Please be advised that the case that you have attempted to access is not eligible for further processing by the National Visa Center at this time. Please contact the National Visa Center if you believe that you have received this message in error. "   What does it mean?

 

 

 

I was given my case number last week on the 24th. They told me to call back this week to give them email addresses too. I was finally able to get the IIN and the BIN but I can't do anything with them until I get that blasted email!

The wait times are long. I'd file then just let them know when you have changed your address.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresExpedite/file sent to embassy - How to fill out DS-260?

No, I haven't logged into CEAC yet.  I received my expedite email on July 18th.  When I try to login to CEAC it just says that my case is not able to be further processed at this time.  I think perhaps it's like that because my expedite was accepted before I even had an NVC case number, so that website hadn't been opened up to me yet.  I'm guessing maybe they'll open it and let me do the DS-260 sometime soon.  I'll contact my embassy soon about it.  I would love to see the "in transit" information and be able to do the DS-260.

 

 

Ohhh that makes sense!  You don't even have the case number yet! :)  I think I mentioned previously that my AOS fee is paid. I haven't submitted any documents yet.   I'm sure they will contact you very soon. Things are going to move very quickly for us! 

 

My husband is shocked that my letter to the NVC got us the approved expedite. 


Married4Life13FemaleBelgium2014-07-19 08:06:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresExpedite/file sent to embassy - How to fill out DS-260?

Yes, emailed the two phone numbers back prior to expedite approval.  Yes, I do believe that our processing will be done directly at the embassy.  I am fine with that, as it is sure faster than still sending things to the NVC...but I am also curious why some people who expedite at the NVC stage still seem to have to send documents to them and wait for their cases to complete before being sent on...whereas we were sent directly to the embassy.  

 

Still curious how the DS-260 works for people in our situation, as it seems it's an online-only form.  Perhaps the embassies make the form available on the website for us when they receive our cases?

 

 

My DS-260 was made available today and my husband is working on that already. I wasn't told it was available. I just happened to check.  The NVC told me that if I sent them the AOS package I was going to overnight today then my case would be stalled until they reviewed it. Boy am I glad I didn't send it.  I read online that the AOS and IV packages are taken to the interview. When did you receive your expedite email? Have you logged CEAC yet? Mine says it is in transit to the embassy. I bet this is going to move very quickly for us! :)

My case was just expedited too and I had just paid the AOS fees. They told me NOT to send any documents to the NVC. Have you emailed the two phone numbers for the beneficiary yet?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresDS-260 vs DS-230

OK , disregard.  I see the DS-260 replaces the DS-230. I assume after I fill it out it can be printed and sent to my hubby for his interview..

 


Married4Life13FemaleBelgium2014-07-30 19:00:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresDS-260 vs DS-230

Does anyone know the difference between the DS-230 part I and the DS-260? 

 

I haven't submitted the DS-260 (online) yet because I was waiting for a piece of info from my husband. Yesterday he received the DS-230 from the embassy and it appears to have the same questions on it. 

 

Do I submit the DS-260 AND have him take the DS-230 to the interview? Seems like double the work to me.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresExpedite Approved - CEAC Case Status READY - Help!

My case was expedited at the NVC stage too. If you aren't sure what to do then wait for the embassy to send you the packet with instructions. As soon as my ds-260 unlocked I filled it in and printed off the confirmation page. That won't slow you down. Once the embassy sends you the packet your case will go very quickly so you can take a deep breath and relax until then. :)  (Thats how our embassy worked)

Is he still married? I read this as he is just waiting for the paper to arrive in the mail.  Either way,  I would wait until the packet is complete before sending it off as well.

 In Belgium you can stay with your spouse as long as you have an Apostille marriage certificate. The process is completed while you are there.

I called the Belgian embassy about this.  They told me that because I am married to a Belgian citizen then I would not need a visa to stay there.  I can just pack my bags and go if I like. The key word is citizen. In your case I'd just wait on the USCIS for a few more months. Both of you moving to another country will create a whole new dynamic in your relationship. Neither of you will have family or friends close.

 

Hang in there ok?   (F)

USCIS Service Centersugh..

Ok I used USPS and sent it the PO Box but when I track it on their site it says the address was incorrect and I sent it here: 

 

USCIS
P.O. Box 804625
Chicago, IL 60680-4107

 

Odd. Guess I will just have to wait and see. 

 

Thank you for your reply :)

I sent my I-130 packet to the USCIS on Saturday signature required but I mailed it to the PO Box address. *bangs head on keyboard*. It was supposed to make it there yesterday but I messed up. 

 

Has anyone else made this mistake and was the packet forwarded to the right address or sent back to you?
