IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCan wife visit here on a visitor's visa while I-130 pending?
Hi,

the best solution... got to your local embasssy and get the answer, because i think it depends from country to country and also most important the time frane you are looking at and also it also depends on FINANCIAL capacity of the USC.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures221 (g) Administrative Process for CR-1 Visa
hi,

My case was also of 221 (g), I had to submit additional paperwork and I was done in 2 days. for AP, they count working days. So just 5 days of the week... so for you it will be a agonising wait of 2 more weeks. After that you email the consulate. And go to the Consulate Personally.

YOU call the DOS number and give your case number and ask them if the APis over and You will get the reply.

God Bless. I hope you are done soon. I know how it feels to be on 221g

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresPassport question for the beneficiary
hi,

If you have your marriage certificate... apply for a name change from the passport office where your wifes passport was issued and you will get back the passport in 7 working days and there will be a fees of 300 Rs.

In the I-130 application mention your wifes new name with husbands last name attached to it.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresWhat's next, how far along are we?
hi,

when you pay fee with I-864 its the last payment.... now wait for them to accept the i864 , then you will be told to fill out ds230 forms... with that send the documents as per the requirement of your consulate. and your case will be completed. ds230 is to be completed by the person who is immigrating....

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresAppointment Posts & Sending NVC original civil documents
hi,

You can send the certified documents or notarised documents.... thats what I feeel.... photocopies can be notarised from any agency which offer notary services.

Originals have a chance of being lost.

This is my personal view

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresConfused!!!!!!WHAT DOES THIS MEAN????
hi,

lady jane is right....this is an AP and it will probably be more shorter I think... Less than A MONTH. I am sure it has gone for your name check .... guess something got to do with common names and stuff. Once your passport is taken.... dont worry.... it will come with visa stamped on it. Just pray it moves faster between washington and embassy here in India.

God bless...... Pray...thats alll we can do to expediate the case

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresWhat is Denial per 221(g)??
hi,

I also had a 221g .... they give 221g when they want additonal information from the petitoner as well as the benefciary...on the 221g paper which is signed by the consular officer... it will be mentioned what they require... submit them the documents to them... you have a period of 1 year to submit stuff for 221g... submit them asap so you can get your wife to u. 221 g DOESNT MEAN YOUR VISA IS DENIED. IT JUST MEANS YOUR CASE IS ON HOLD.


I hope this helps

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedureswhats required for NVC?
hi,

When i say certified photocopies they have to be notarised in Local Indian court... and you to put stamps on it ... and get the stamp of NOTARY on it. In USA... there are many companies and laywers, courts who offer notary services.

MGK>>>> there have been instances when people have lost originals with the NVC, which is more problematic..... since you would face problems with the CO. I know notarised copies work....... Personal view.. Each one to his own

JigiMaleIndia2008-02-26 11:59:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedureswhats required for NVC?
hi,

the above answer is right by sahil...... but the main thing ... submit all notarised or certified documents which are mentioned by sahil. ALWAYS KEEP ORIGINAL WITH YOU AS YOU WILL SUBMIT TO THE VFS 10 DAYS BEFORE YOUR INTERVIEW DATE. All documents should be in English ONLY.

I hope this helps

Please gather as much evidence of ur relationship. Email copies, Phone bills and other stufff. Photos and affadavits from your parents/relatives(OPTIONal)

God Bless
