So you already sent the DS-230 with the stuff they asked you to send? I wasn't sure since it's not listed on your timeline. If you did, then you should hear from the in about two weeks, either if it's an RFE or a case completed auto message at their number.

I'm not sure how soon they schedule appointments with the US embassy in Tokyo, but for most they make the appointments on the second week of the month for the following month. See if you can find other members going through Tokyo for CR1 visas and ask them. But if it works like most embassies, and there are no RFEs, you should be able to have an interview while you're there with her.

Diana


Actually I just paid the IV bill and sen off my wife's DS-230 with all the stuff requested today.
So you're saying if there is an RFE it will be within the next two weeks? That would be great as I dont leave until the end of July. I could have everything sent in before I leave.

How about for the interview? I'm assuming I should bring a copy of my birth certificate and passport but should I gather anything else before I head to Japan?

Thanks guys.


hey amastar, im so happy ur almost thru NVC

u should definately hear case complete before end of JULY for sure.. after they enter ur wifes ds230 they take about a week to have ur case completed.. so call them after 3 days and see if ur ds230 has been entered into their syste.m. if the operator says its been enetered then that means its under review and u should be done within next 2 weeks max from my guess..

i am flyin to india to be with my husband during the interview also.. im takin a copy of my birth certitificate, some phone card bills, and my us passport ofcourse..

good luck to u and the new babay and ur wife!

ull be fine.
just enjoy ur time there..

if u sent all docs to nvc as requested then u shouldnt get an rfe good.gif

Hi Hyd617,

I have question What documents did you send to NVC with your DS-230? and when you pay IV fee online well you able to get bar code page and checklist of what document we need to send to NVC with DS-230?

As I need to do the same thing for my brother in law Thanks

Infinitboy



hello,

i paid the iv fee online and then after about 3 days i was able to print out the barcoded sheet, and mail of ds230 packet to nvc please see my signauture it has more details about exact dates..

since i am the petitioner, choice of agent i mailed off my husbands docs to nvc
(after he DHL's them to me)
packet included:
cover letter
ds230 part1 and part 2 filled out by him but part 2 was not signed by him
his PCC for passport office and PCC for local police office
his original birth certificate
his passport photos ( i think 2)
his copy of his biogrpahic page from passport

i think that is about it, and i made an EXTRA copy of the ds230 packet and mailed it with the whole package

hope this helps..

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures** Awaiting VSC Approval ?? **
[quote name='KipandSarahJayne' date='Apr 28 2008, 12:33 PM' post='1795532']
I've noticed that we're all going a little bit insane with the waiting for our I-130 approvals from VSC (fondly known as the Vegas Service Centre). So, I thought I'd give you guys a good link for the next step so that you can be occupied productively while waiting for your turn to hit the jackpot ..... this should keep you busy for 5 minutes instead of going bonkers about where your approval is.

http://www.visajourn...p?showtopic=117
As you will see, there is tons of info on emailing your choice of agent or faxing if you wish.

The forms you'll be dealing with are below .... it's time to become familiar with them and also to prepare any documents you may need

Forms

The impending immigrant will need to look over the following 2 forms:

DS-3032 (choice of agent form)
http://www.state.gov...ation/80023.pdf

DS-230 parts 1 and 2
http://www.state.gov...ation/81807.pdf

The DS-230 form is a bit of a pain if you've been travelling to the US and back a lot as you'll need to list ALL of your visits etc .... so it's definately prudent to start this ASAP so that you can have it all together and organised.

The USC spouse will be receiving a copy of the Affidavit of Support (AOS), I've added the following links so it's easy for you to send to them incase he/she wants to look over it now and start preparing.

I-864 (AOS)
http://www.uscis.gov.../form/I-864.pdf

or, alternatively the I-864EZ
http://www.uscis.gov...orm/I-864EZ.pdf

Of course, we now have the online payments option which will shave even more time off our wait at NVC.

Medical

Here is the NVC link for finding the doctor in your country who you will be seeing, I suggest you also familiarise yourself with where it will be happening and what you'll be screened for .... and yes you will probably be checked to see if you've had a sex change blink.gif .... so don't be surprised if they ask you to remove your underwear.

http://travel.state..../info_3739.html

Also, please begin to look at your doctors site and find which innoculations will be required for your medical and start them ASAP as it will probably be cheaper and easier on your arms if you've already had them, instead of turning up to the medical without them.

Interview

And finally your interview, here is the link to find out if there are any specific guidelines for your Embassy/Consulate.

http://travel.state..../info_3742.html

This is the link for all the required documents to also bring with you on top of your relationship evidence

http://travel.state..../info_3741.html

Photographs

And don't forget ladies and gentlemen, you'll need a few US sized passport photos for this process, if you haven't got them start finding someone in the your country who does them .... these are the guidelines

http://travel.state..../info_3740.html

Goodluck to us all during this VSC game of roulette for our approvals ..... at least this should keep your mind of it all for a while.

Though the total time inside the Consulate may take upto 4 hours, actual interview in only around 30 min. by 2 officers.

Considered, hyd rose.gif

There was another funny talk with her too. She wanted to bring some spices from India. Almost her luggages are full. So I joked like this: 1 KG spice may cost Rs.100 ($2), but if the luggage is excess, you need to pay Rs.1,000 ($25) for extra 1 KG, which makes sense ??? So, she was convinced...

We are so excited for your hubby's medical and interview, he is in our prayers star_smile.gif

It was so convenient to pick up the passport from VFS office. Only thing is they update their system every business day at 3PM. Passport pick up is between 4:00PM and 5:00PM. If there are no show, they will immediately courier it. Other thing, Fathima told me they want a copy of the passport to pick the passport. She had taken all the files again to pick up the passport.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresMedical Update
QUOTE (lotofpatience @ Jun 26 2008, 11:52 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
FYI, about medical in our case...

Lab expenses (x-ray and blood test) - Rs.800 ($19)
Physician expenses (only MMR was needed, rest all antibodies were there on her blood)
MMR charges - Rs.150 ($4)
Physician Fee - Rs.700 ($17)

Total medical fee - $40. Pretty cheap !

Also, Dr. Vijayalaksmi handed over the medical report to her on the same day, so she's done with medical. It is NOT a sealed envelope and the form is NOT I-693 too. I was confused with that form. When I did my medical in the U.S as part of U.S green card, it was I-693. Anyway, physician has those forms. You need to just print out the medical cover letter as part of Packet 4 forms, that's all!

One photograph is needed at Lab and another one photograph is needed at physician's office, that's all!

Now, it is waiting game and she has another 6 more days for interview! Just waiting at Chennai!

Good luck to all people who are waiting and Congrats to those who have completed this procedure rose.gif




Hey loto ..What are you upto man?? I guess you are ready to kicking.gif kicking.gifI really liked your postings which gives lot of info and laughing. I was out of VJ or thinking about immigration process b/c this damn VSC is much slower headbonk.gif headbonk.gif in moving than big elephant rofl.gif rofl.gif it looks like they just have empty heads without any brains laughing.gif laughing.gif

I wish you good luck to you and your wife ...

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures** Awaiting VSC Approval ?? **
QUOTE (KipandSarahJayne @ Apr 28 2008, 12:33 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I've noticed that we're all going a little bit insane with the waiting for our I-130 approvals from VSC (fondly known as the Vegas Service Centre). So, I thought I'd give you guys a good link for the next step so that you can be occupied productively while waiting for your turn to hit the jackpot ..... this should keep you busy for 5 minutes instead of going bonkers about where your approval is.

http://www.visajourn...p?showtopic=117
As you will see, there is tons of info on emailing your choice of agent or faxing if you wish.

The forms you'll be dealing with are below .... it's time to become familiar with them and also to prepare any documents you may need

Forms

The impending immigrant will need to look over the following 2 forms:

DS-3032 (choice of agent form)
http://www.state.gov...ation/80023.pdf

DS-230 parts 1 and 2
http://www.state.gov...ation/81807.pdf

The DS-230 form is a bit of a pain if you've been travelling to the US and back a lot as you'll need to list ALL of your visits etc .... so it's definately prudent to start this ASAP so that you can have it all together and organised.

The USC spouse will be receiving a copy of the Affidavit of Support (AOS), I've added the following links so it's easy for you to send to them incase he/she wants to look over it now and start preparing.

I-864 (AOS)
http://www.uscis.gov.../form/I-864.pdf

or, alternatively the I-864EZ
http://www.uscis.gov...orm/I-864EZ.pdf

Of course, we now have the online payments option which will shave even more time off our wait at NVC.

Medical

Here is the NVC link for finding the doctor in your country who you will be seeing, I suggest you also familiarise yourself with where it will be happening and what you'll be screened for .... and yes you will probably be checked to see if you've had a sex change blink.gif .... so don't be surprised if they ask you to remove your underwear.

http://travel.state..../info_3739.html

Also, please begin to look at your doctors site and find which innoculations will be required for your medical and start them ASAP as it will probably be cheaper and easier on your arms if you've already had them, instead of turning up to the medical without them.

Interview

And finally your interview, here is the link to find out if there are any specific guidelines for your Embassy/Consulate.

http://travel.state..../info_3742.html

This is the link for all the required documents to also bring with you on top of your relationship evidence

http://travel.state..../info_3741.html

Photographs

And don't forget ladies and gentlemen, you'll need a few US sized passport photos for this process, if you haven't got them start finding someone in the your country who does them .... these are the guidelines

http://travel.state..../info_3740.html

Goodluck to us all during this VSC game of roulette for our approvals ..... at least this should keep your mind of it all for a while.

good work sarah .....I got everything ready except NOA2 and my wife in my hands ......lol those two are missing now...may be i should call 911 ....lol rofl.gif rofl.gif rofl.gif rofl.gif tongue.gif

I just spent half an hour updating this, I hate the stupid rich text editor! It keeps losing line breaks and putting the wrong colors in the wrong places etc! And now I couldn't even edit the bad post above, had to do a whole new post... mad.gif




THANKS I APPRECIATE IT!! star_smile.gif

i called NVC today, and operator said my AOS fee was generated today, and i assume DS3032 was generated also..
can i be updated??


That's correct Hyd. Your DS-3032 is generated. I wasted 2 days for DS-3032 sending just because of their crappy IVR. devil.gif



loto whats IVR??

and ya our ds3032 was sent last night even thought ds3032 wasnt generated LOL i guess we took a risk. but it was generated as of today soi guess we r good.. and plus they wont get to my email today, prob after few days or so.. so then they can log itinto their system since mine is generated now

After calling docs in India and digging around through the CDC site I've found out that only the first shot is "required" of any vaccination series ... the second is 'recommended' if needed - but in talking to the Dr's they have never given more than one and it "has never been an issue" in the words of the doc my wife is planning on seeing ... Also, as we know, the laundry list of vaccinations is just everything they can think of - but the reality for an adult only requires a handful of shots ...

SOOOO - In short, the process takes one day and the next day report is ready for pick-up!

I hope that my paranoia (thanks a LOT, hyd ... LOL tongue.gif) resulted in enough helpful information for others to be saved from their own share of being scared lol


Rajee, did Delhi announce the July list ?

I am thankful to Hyd to point out the July list for Chennai star_smile.gif



RAJEE im glad everything sorted out for you and your wife!

ur welcome guys!

actually LOTO i called NVC and told them im not on the july list in chennai and she said somethin like as of june 1 08 they changed process and POINT of COMMUNICATION will be from NVC not chennai.. NVC will assign the date, and sent the docs to embassy.. NVC will send US interview letter not EMBASSY.. so basicaly ntohing in and out from embassy to us..

annd i asked then who are those ppl on the list, she said those are cases that havebeen waiting at chennai i the past, and cases received before their changes ( like yours) she said not to wory ( i confirmed this with both chennai and nvc) that i will be NOT on thelist and my date has been assigned by NVC not chennai!

so everything about my date is in interview letter.. and chennai will be receiving that thru DHL next week which will have allour stuff we sent to NVC (originals) and interview letter!

we just have to show up on july 28 8am!

thats all

gosh allthese new rules and procedures!! driving me nuts good.gif
