K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDamn damn damn
I heard from the Embassy - got Packet 3 days ago - but I told Paul they mentioned that they require I-134, 1040 and W2 for the year 2004. It does not say this anywhere on the website; Paul wrote to the Consulate about 10 days ago and they responded last night saying it is required. So now it seems more than likely it will take another month before I have all the documents. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr :bonk: Am fed up!!!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI need help I-130 crisis
uhm - you might be feeling a bit hopeless, but don't fret, aye?

Forms you need:
DS-230 - http://travel.state..../info_3190.html
I-864 - http://travel.state..../info_3730.html
General NVC stuff - http://travel.state..../info_1335.html

NVC Electronic Processing wiki entry page - http://www.visajourn...onic_Processing - the DS-3032 form yer spouse needs is in there, as a d/l link. get it, send it out to her, she needs to fill it out, print it, sign in, rescan it in.

My handy-dandy 'online payment portal how-to-guide' - http://www.visajourn...ost__p__3560467

MEP info: http://www.visajourn...-cuidad-juarez/

You don't have to USE MEP, if you don't want to - it saves a lot of time with waiting, for scheduling, after NVC is finished .

You've a lot of reading to do - I suggest you read all I've posted here - let it sink in for a few days, and then call NVC, beg for MEP inclusion.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI need help I-130 crisis
ya, you have the login # - it's called an IIN - it was IN the AOS Fee bill that you received via email - recheck it - it also contains the NVC # - with these 2 things, you can login and eradicate 'nothing'
DarnellMaleChina2011-01-25 00:08:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI need help I-130 crisis
HEY !

congrats on using the online payment portal - that's a big deal, always.

AFTER yer payment is accepted for the AOS/I-864 - you must review the portal again about 4 to 5 days after you've paid -
you'll notice that there is a receipt to be printed. INSIDE OF THAT RECEIPT are instructions on what to do, with an barcoded sheet to include for sending off the I-864.

The IV fee is pegged to the DS-230 form, and won't show up to be paid until the DS-3032 (from yer spouse) has been accepted.

HOWEVER.

MEXICO HAS A NEW ELECTRONIC PROCESSING SYSTEM in place for NVC. I strongly suggest you call NVC back, since you've NOT SENT IN ANY FORMS YET, and beg to be included on the MEP, Mexico Electronic Processing, System AT NVC.

Once they allow you 'in' - you'll need to OPT IN - and you'll need a special DS-3032 signed by yer spouse, to be emailed in.

I've a wiki entry here for 'NVC Electronic Processing' - if you search the wiki with those exact terms, you'll find the how-to.

Good Luck !

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI 130 and K 3 Visa for resident in london
ya, sorry, technically correct, to apply for the K-3 visa, ya file to the embassy in that country -
but - one isn't allowed to file for a K-3 until an I-129F petition is approved, and in this scenario,
an I-129F isn't allowed to be filed UNTIL the USCitizen spouse has received a receipt notice on the I-130 petition.

Confusing as heck, ah?

----
Going forward, suggest your USCitizen spouse file the I-130 to the Chicago lockbox, but before that, have her read the guides here at VJ.

Good Luck !

fee of 330, I THINK, is to process the I-824, and usually, that's not needed.
DarnellMaleChina2011-02-09 13:19:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI-130 process and fees
nvc - 404 for IV, 88 for AOS.
is additional monies for civil documents at NVC,
and more monies for medical exam after NVC, but those are paid in the 'local country', not to NVC, not to USEmbassy.

I think fees are covered here?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresIR2 visa for a child

How nice so it turned out I was correct. Doubted the information i provided as others started to join. BUT I dont think that it would be possble to Apply for the US passport first it's not possible. Why? because she would have had no proof of US citizenship.. she she has no choice BUT to file with USCIS first after the child enters the usa,


The 'apply for USA Passport' 'tree' actually works, without filing that other paperwork.

Usually.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedureswhat else do they want?
ah - RFEs suck, much.
BUT - please note is a 'three stage process', aye?

First stage - electronic notification that you will receive an RFE (without indication of what it's for)
Second stage - USCitizen Petitioner RECEIVES a postal letter from USCIS, carefully detailing exactly what evidence 'they' want back.
Third Stage - USC Petitioner returns the evidence TO USCIS.

So for now, you've gone through the first stage, and yer waiting for the second stage. Now would be a great time to read the RFE thread in this forum.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresWhen NVC sends case to US embassy?

when your case is complete,then it goes to the embassy for interview,


eh - not really.

'case complete' time tick is only for 'NVC have all documents in the casefile'
and then
a Final Review is performed.

Final Reviews used to be quick, 2 to 3 days - now is taking 8 to 20 days because of a longish queue.

Once the Final Review is completed,
THEN the casefile jumps into a new queue (mostly) for Embassy Scheduling.
For some countries, scheduling is only done a certain week of the month.
For other counties, it's done all the time.

It's really hard to determine what is what with the OP, he/she's deigned NOT to choose a country for the beneficiary in his/her member profile.
DarnellMaleChina2011-02-10 13:45:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresWhen NVC sends case to US embassy?
it depends, really on which country it's going to.

MOSTLY, though - it's scheduled before it leaves.

It's hard to answer you directly, though, as you've not updated yer profile to reflect any country for the beneficiary. Could you do that, soonish?

Yes, for what it's worth, I don't believe a word, as we have had approvals. What annoys me is that TSC had the nerve to "hoodwink" our senator into thinking WE were the ones who were at fault for complaining too early. It has delayed our senators urgency on the case due to incorrent info from TSC.

However, we have her FULL attention now.

I just get the impression however, that NO ONE can get through and do anything here, and THAT is very frustrating!


I'm a watching for outcome from you, from yer Senator's ILS person. I hope you get some movement this week, really !

this 'movement to TSC' has turned into a boondoggle.

I filed July 30th and was transfer to the TSC also
MY attorney said it's a good sign that I could be
approved sooner than longer than at CSC.
Only less than 60 days to approval he said
Good luck and at least the backlog in Ukraine is light
and not back logged like csc.


Ya, apparently your attorney and I know something about this TSC actions ;)

He says 60 days or less, I'm saying 45 days or less.

Hang in there !!! At least you beat the 'November Rush' for petition submittal - the I-130 filing fee goes up on 23rd (24th?) November - and it's gonna get WAY backlogged after that - as more people sent it to beat the rush.

1lovingyou2 - THANKS SO MUCH for citing yer source. It means a lot, especially as TSC has f(*@&#$ed up most of the casefiles that were transferred to it.

IMO, this 'process' you've described should get the ball rolling at NVC, but - I'm not certain if it will open the 'casefile processing' binary bit, or not. IF IT DOES - great. That would mean the IIN and AOS fee bills can get sent out from NVC (via email) following my 'normal' process over at http://www.visajourn...ost__p__3560467
