question on the AOS(i864) bill doing the shortcut cause I'm tired of waiting for there letter, nvc phone system says bill generated. using the aos bill copy provided under the shortcuts, but have a question about whether the case is IR1 or CR1

If this is a spouse of U.S. citizen-based and the marriage is less than two years old, then CR1 is the proper category. Otherwise it is IR1 for spouse of U.S. citizen.


thanks it looks like it's CR1 Then, As were just approaching our first anniversary.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)Documents Requested by NVC
QUOTE (j.debonis @ Jan 22 2008, 12:16 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I can't locate within the IR/CR guide nor in the NVC flowchart when the NVC requests the forms from the beneficiary..i.e. birth certificate, copy of passport, marriage cert, police clearances, etc. When does the NVC request these within the NVC process? Do they request these after all forms (DS-3032, DS-230, and I-864, including all fees) have been returned and entered into the system or do they usually ask these documents to be sent in when the DS-230 is mailed to NVC? Also, when they request these documents, will they notify me, the U.S. citizen or will they notify my wife...and how do they notify, by letter? Thanks for your answers.

James




they usually ask for these documents to be sent in with the DS-230 which will come after you pay the IV BILL

IMPORTANT!!!!

Note that the link labelled "HERE" in the 4th paragraph in the DS-230 section is to the OLD DS-230 Part I coversheet.

The correct link to the current DS-230 coversheet (whether you are sending in just Part I or Parts I and II) is HERE.

I'd correct it in the post above, but unfortunately one is not allowed to edit one's posts after a certain (very brief) period of time.



when i click on this link for the ds 230 cover sheet it gives me an board error

you just need to go to the local/nearest philippine bureau of immigration office to request for an extension. i believe it's for 59 days but i'm not sure as to how much this costs.



when i was there earlier this year it was around 2000 pesos

Long and short of the story is, we could have done the same things you did, we could have harassed the embassy folks, but we didn't, cause eventually we knew the schedule will come. I know it's easier said than done! Haha. But when it's there, it's there. smile.gif My suggestion is analyze other people's timelines to get an idea of how long on the average a type of visa is being processed. I did it and guessed our K1 packet will arrive on the 3rd week of Jan. It did arrive on the 24th!

Everyone here deserves kudos for enduring the sacrifice of spending time apart in exchange for a lifetime of being together! wink.gif . The wait is all worth it in the end.


your k1 which is a little different than the cr1 we have to wait for the NVC to assign us our interview date and they only do that once a month. where as yours gets sent directly to the embassy and the embassy schedules your interview.

Check with Presidential Proclamations by the President or news. The holiday might be observed on a different day. This usually happens.


it's also known as Araw ng Kagitingan and looks like it'll be April 7th from what i see it's celebrated on the Monday nearest April 9th hopefully someone else can confirm this

Philippinesinterview charges other than the delvery fee
are there any other fees during the interview other than the vis delivery fee because people at my wife college(LPC) where she teaches keep telling her that they charge a $100 fee for the Consulate. we already paying the document verification ahead of time. i think half the people there are uninformed and that there trying to mislead her (they even tried told her the ds 230 form was wrong the one from the website the nvc sends you.) please note we are cr1 visa not a k visa

also her interview is April 9th which is Bataan Day and sometimes president Arroyo declares it a national holiday should i ask about another date or do you think it will be ok?

just need to clarify the St. Luke's Medical Center Extension Clinic that she goes to is located at 1177 J. Bocobo St.

now i booked her a hotel(Best Western Hotel La Corona) that is on the corner of Del Pilar and Arquiza Street but people keep telling her that it is a long ways from the medical center and that she will pay 1000 pesos for a taxi ride it doesn't look like it's that far from the hotel on the map but she keeps insisting that those people in the college know manila. is it really that much far and that much.
