IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCongressional Inquiry
As you might have expected, the ones which have nothing constructive to add try to persuade others that there is we can or should do. This seems to be a problem that one who already has thier S.O. with them, by whatever means they chose would not be concerned with. However, this site has become a very popular place for some egotistical, judgmental people to jump in. I was very recently a victim of such. It is beyond comprehension. If the people here do not have some Knowledge of what you are trying to do, maybe it would be better if they found another passtime. Opinions,everyone has them but they are not generally expressed as such... When we attack each others ideas with negativity it only clouds the issuses. I may be wrong, but, IN MY OPINION, is it not all of us trying to bring our loved ones here. If not then maybe I am needing to look for another place for OPINIONS...John&Jean

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresUSCIS staff being rude
Hello, Sorry to hear about USCIS bieng rude. I have had rude people with the misinformation line. Some of them act like they had better things to do. Almost like you were interupting them. Yesterday I decided to do the RFE call, the lady I talked to was pleasant. I told her that I thought our case was outside normal time.[ RECD. date 7/27/07 ] She told me all about bieng six months behind... BLAAAH BLAAA HBLAAAH. She told me our case was with an adjutication officer. At this point I asked, so we shold hear some news soon? She said,to give it another sixty days. That is the same thing the misinformation line said thirty days ago. Anticipating this, I contacted my congressman earlier this week. After going to get the mail today, I discovered my timing was good. No not the NOA#2. Privacy forms from my congressman. I do not know if its going to help or not. The forms will be returned to his office monday. I will post the results as soon as possible... Good Luck to all John&Jean

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCR1 Question
Do CR1 visa applicants have a limited number available each month? I thought the spousal visa was not a limited number per month. When the case is finished at NVC do CR1 visas have to wait for a visa to "become available"? THANKS...john&jean helpsmilie.gif
john & jeanNot TellingPhilippines2008-02-29 11:19:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresAny new approvals this month?

john & jeanNot TellingPhilippines2008-03-05 18:39:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresNo G-325???
The G325 biographical data is not optional. The129 is. You will get a RFE, or entire package returned for missing/incomplete forms. You need to read,and understand the info in the guides section! If you do not understand, then ask as many people here will help! I hope this helps... john&jean yes.gif

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresAzz Wholes Flock Together ???
Well our case is finished at USCIS, so all should be good, WRONG!! Today I called NVC to ask if any forms had been generated. After about thirty minutes got to speak to an operator. The only thing that she can tell me is my birthdate is not correct!! The hell it isn't, I have sent two birth certificates, plus a copy of my passport bio page. Well sir you sent that to USCIS. We need a copy of you're birth certificate. Yes, I suppose you will,since I have already taken off work on two seperate occasions to get the same info for CSC. So the "nice" lady tells me we do not have those documents. But you will need to get the info to us before "we" at NVC can give you any info. GRRRRRR, I hope that I never deal with another GOVT. agency when I finish dealing with this!!! I think they are all INCOMPETENT IDIOTS... yes.gif
john & jeanNot TellingPhilippines2008-04-07 20:08:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresWrote a letter to my congress man
Not much he can do until seven months pass. I had all ppwk finished waited till seven month mark then had my congressman call. We got NOA2 twelve days after he called. So it took almost eight months to get past the USCIS. Be patient, it will happen!!!
john & jeanNot TellingPhilippines2008-04-12 20:05:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresWill past depression from 5 years ago, ruin my chances at visa medical exam?
Only answer questions asked! If they do not ask then do not tell!! The problems will not prevent you from getting a visa. however, if this info is asked about they have knowledge of it. It is important that you tell the truth. The worst that could happen is you will be sent for psych evaluation. This will create a delay, but many others here have had it. Unless you admit past drug abuse,no matter how long ago, then you should be O.K. But unless asked about it do not say anything. Only answer questions as they are asked, do not add anything extra! Do not tell lies, but do not volunteer indirect info. The one thing that will get you Barred for life is to admit past drug abuse. To have been raped and then sent for psych exam was not you're fault. Again, only answer direct questions with direct answers. If they want to know more then they will ask for more. To admit past drug abuse even many years ago, and just one time will prevent ever getting a visa!!!!
You should read about other peoples posts concerning the medical and the interview.

Best Wishes john & jean heart.gif

CONGRATS TO THOSE WHO GOT THEIR NOA2 ALREADY... HOPE WE ARE NEXT SOMETIME VERY SOON... goofy.gif :energetic:

We are Jan. 08 files for I-130 and got our NOA1 for wife, but lost NOA1 for baby. We can not read the numbers on the baby's check back. We tried to talk on the 800 number phone but all we got is machine language.
How do you talk to a person? Do you have any direct telephone number to CSC? Thanks!

Do the RFE thing, call the 800 number, follow the directions for typos,you will get you to some azz with an attitude, that may or may not help you. The last time I called she refused to give her name or I.D. # and was very rude. The second time I asked for her name and I.D. number she hung up on me. So Good Luck John&Jean

Hi guys here's the skinny, recd date 7/27/07 Notice date9/18/07 on noa1. Got RFE ten days ago. returned the requested info, it was delivered 2/14/08. I have been sitting on the release from my congressman for several days. To the best of my knowledge six months and thirty days must pass before much can be done. We will pass that mark 2/27/08. If all goes as planned they will have a congressional inquiry in there hands at six months and thirty two days!! I am sick to death of this zhit. After submission of the C.I. I will let the congressman deal with them . I will also be sending the ombudsman a complaint for the way one certain lady working at CSC chooses to act towards people on the telephone. If it weren't for my wife I would sell all here and go to another country. But have not ruled that out at this point. Good Luck To All ...John&Jean wacko.gif
