IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	April 2011 (USCIS) Filers	Don't worry about no SIF, others have recently posted that they have been assigned interview dates without an SIF. I have always believed SIF was just that and doesn't go hand in hand with anything else. Hi Ryan, Thanks for enlightening me, I like what you said SIF means nothing, Case Complete means everything^^. Praying we all get an interview date soon	Louis&Venice	Male	Philippines	2011-09-22 12:16:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	April 2011 (USCIS) Filers	Our case was completed and closed on 09/15/2011 per NVC yesterday. They said they tried to schedule an interview but were unsuccessful and that they will not try again til October to schedule it. The lady told me to contact the embassy directly and try to get a sooner date scheduled. I will be doing that today! I cannot believe we are finally done! Thanks to all who have guided me along and to the makers of all of the guides! This was super easy Time consuming... frustrating.. and a little annoying... yet easy! lol Wow youre so fast!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	April 2011 (USCIS) Filers	Gather up al lthe originals from beneficiary. NVC wants the originals plus a photocopy of each. I recommend you make a photocopy set for yourself too. Here is the official link to the government site: DOCUMENTS to send to NVC as per the government Thanks for this link...I think the big headache for me is getting my NBI here in the PHilippines, as it will take 30 days to get it...

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	April 2011 (USCIS) Filers	I would check out the EZ Spouse Guide on Wiki and NVC Guides. Start calling the NVc to get your case number and start gathering documents, police certificate, birth certificate, any translations, tax transcripts for the AOS, etc. Good luck!! Thank you, I'm still waiting for my hardcopy of NOA2 to arrive, then my father in law will scan and email it to me, I think thats the time I can start calling NVC...Veronica	Louis&Venice	Male	Philippines	2011-07-16 11:59:00

Philippines	Anyone here who has/had co-sponsor(s)? URGENT!	Hello everyone! I made this thread coz I wanna know if anyone's out there who has/had co-sponsor(s) during their IR1/CR1 visa journey! I really need your insight about my case. Please do help me For starters I'll be having my USEM interview on Dec 9th @ 8:30am. Hubby sent me a scanned copy of our co-sponsors ITRs & W2s (2010) in an email(coz we didn't include in our AOS packet the last three recent years since it was optional; only year 2010 was submitted). What do I need to present in the USEM interview? Both of my hubby's and co-sponsor's ITRs & W2s? Can I just have them printed out (co-sponsor's documents, hubby's gonna sent me his original papers thru LBC)? Or I must bring with me the original ones (I doubt it though that our co-sponsor would hand us/me his original documents)? Hi sis, Scan copy is fine, The consul did not ask it, what he wants to see is our wedding picture, that's all. You will do fine. Goodluck!	Louis&Venice	Male	Philippines	2011-11-21 08:44:00

Philippines	Soldier's wife and kids denied visa in Manila	QUOTE (ScottThuy @ Dec 22 2009, 01:34 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The reason it matters is because of the type of visa that would be granted the child... different if he is the father than if he is not... strictly a classification issue as well its built in to prevent people from taking children from one country to another without the biological parents consent. If it's really about the kids then it's not a visa issue at all. Seems to me that the Consulate is refusing to issue a Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA), which infact makes the Kids US Citizens and issues them US Passports. The only mention of a visa is "Parham's wife, and children can not even come to U.S. on an immigration or just temporary visa or passport because of the current probe into the kids citizenship." - There is no other mention of the wifes Visa procedings. P.S. I currently have 2 children at home in the Philippines 1 has gone through the CRBA procedure and we are still waiting on the NSO BirthCert for our baby girl...
