Ness and Keith and Nanay you'll all be ok.

Goodkuck to all,

Hi Sis,

My Husband also received that one and he scanned and sent it to me.. That was before we received our IV Bill from NVC.. What we did was we just ignored it..Since we are still waiting for our IV Bill thats why we cant send our DS230..

I think NVC send that form to those who didn't send their DS230 yet.. Im not sure if we need to use the address on that checklist, but we use the address in the jame's shortcut when we send our DS230.

This is a 3-pages packet.
1st page- "Checklist" next to the barcode; above the petitioner's name
2nd page- barcode coversheet; send to NVC ATTN DR
3rd page- Missing Document (OF-230-I)

Hi,

The NVC recieved my ds230 on august 29th and I still haven't heard anything about the case being completed. I have submitted all the documents that they needed and I know that there is nothing missing. It has been two week, when can I expect to hear "case complete" on their automated system? If I call them up and talk to the operator whould they let me know when the case will be completed or will they just tell me to wait?

Thanks for your help

I believe they do update the automated system every tuesday... patience girl... your almost there!

(Kay I'm not sure if you used the shortcuts or not?)

This is actually a good quesiton that I ponder myself almost everytime I update the list and someone has gotten their case completed. Some members have used one shortcut and they thus say that they've used none. Others used one shortcut and say that they've used shortcuts. In most cases people use one to three shortcuts but rarely all four of those. The shortcut collumn seems to be less useful than I originally thought it would be; it won't give you good information about how much days you win by using shortcuts.

Question! does the bank statement have to show everything???like blance?or it could be only both our names??

I would just show one page of the bank statement but for mine, that would include a beginning and ending balance for the month. They don't need to see where all your money went. I suppose they don't really need to see the balance either but I wouldn't advise blacking it out.

Thanks for the advice,,,

Translation for japanese birth certificate...CR-1visa

Hi everyone!!!
I need some help for CR-1visa....I just finished translate my birth certificate but on the USCIS website it says " All documents that are in a language other than English must be submitted with a translation. The person translating the document must certify that the translation is complete and accurate and that he/she is competent to translate from the foreign language into English."
How official does a translator need to be to translate my birth certificate ? From my knowlege basically anyone can translate it and it could be by myself.if so does it have to be notarized??
I am in Japan and my husband is in the US,we are trying to apply for CR-1visa and not sure where to start...what do i need to send within I-130 ??what do I need to send as Evidence of a bonafide marriage ???

Please help me!

Thanks

CR-1 visa if I want to work...

QUOTE (YuAndDan @ May 5 2008, 12:23 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

CR-1 IS work authorized, the I-551 stamp in your passport, and later the green-card you receive in the mail allows you to work.

You don't file it if you're getting a CR-1. The I-129F is if you wanted to get a K-3 visa.

I don't think there is a spot on the I-130, but there is a spot on the I-129F. I guess if you really wanted to give them your e-mail, you can put it in the cover letter. But when you get your NOA1, you can put your email into USCIS's website to get updates and check your case online.

Im working on the CR-1 also ....whats I-129F??? when do you have to file it??

how did you send then your email address?? did you write on one of the paperworks u submit?

Your post is confusing. Have you sent your I-130 yet? If not, providing email address is optional. USCIS never emails regarding the petition.

From what Im getting advice from ppl,I guess I will just send phone bills , joint bank account statement,passport copy and some pics of our ceremony and party....hopefully thats enough.......

One more thing...

The historical averages don't take into account the new NVC ONLINE PAYMENT system which is shaving HUGE amounts of time off the overall process.

I would guess that with the new payment system, there is NO difference at all in time to completion between the two paths...

What do other people think about this?

whats NVC ONLINE PAYMENT system ??
