IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	A quick question on the 130.	Hello! I'm filling out the 130 and the guides and example awesomely explain most things but - question 21 which asks the last address my husband and I lived together is a problem...we've never lived together! I visted him for about a month in the UK but it's just been visits between us, and no "living together". should I just write none? I put the address that I was at when I spent time with my husband in Pakistan. I had no RFE's and it worked well for us!	BellaChele68	Female	Pakistan	2010-03-01 16:48:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	NVC document vs Embassy document ,, please help	here we are now,, interview date April 07 2010. But what with this all..( this is part of email what we receive from NVC,, confusing part of email,,) Reminders * Any original documents that were requested by the NVC but were not submitted to the NVC must be brought to the visa interview. What Any original documents that were requested,but were not submitted to the NVC. So far i know NVC will not send document to embassy if we did not send all requested document to NVC. This is confusing. * The applicant must bring his/her medical examination results to the visa interview in an envelope sealed by the medical office. OK this will be done next week,, * The applicant must bring the correct size and number of photographs to the visa interview. They must measure 2 inches by 2 inches (5 cm by 5 cm) on a white background. Yes we will get two picture,,, * IF a sponsor filed an I-864 (Affidavit of Support) AND provided the NVC with proof of an IRS Federal Income Tax Extension in lieu of a Federal Income Tax Return, the applicant must bring the sponsor's most recent Federal Income Tax Return to the visa interview. Sponsor did not file tax extension, so this is ok,,we don't need to bring anything else, NVC will send our document to embassy. * Failure to present all necessary documents to the Consular Officer will result in the applicant's immigrant visa being refused at the initial interview. And also this.. Visa Interview Requirements FIRST NAME - LAST NAME must bring the following to the visa interview: * Any original documents that were requested by the NVC but were not submitted to the NVC * The medical examination results if not submitted to the Embassy/Consulate by the physician * The correct size and number of photographs * Valid passport for all traveling applicants The following table lists the documents requested by the NVC and whether or not the NVC received them. Please note that even though the applicant may have provided the NVC with a copy of a document, the applicant is still required to bring the original document to the visa interview. We send original document to NVC, did this mean we need to get all that document again and bring it to interview? This is for IR1 visa. Hopefully you kept copies of everything you sent to the NVC in triplicate. Make sure your beneficiary has a copy of every single bit of paper sent to the NVC. With the NVC you sent copies of your birth certificate...they will want the originals potentially in the interview. Anything that you sent that was a copy of an original (such as the BC. police certificate, etc.) make sure your beneficiary has the originals in hand before the interview. Depending on the country, if the police certificate is older than six months you may be required to obtain a new one for the interview. Keep two copies for yourself in case there is any sort of emergency AND make sure you send your package DHS, FED EX or USPS in trackable form and request a signature for the package. Good luck!

They do not have to be a family member... But have them fill out an 864, send in their income proof (tax returns, employment letter, pay stubs) and proof of their citizenship/LPR and you should be fine... Thank You So Much it worries me alot......... My Aunt has only her and her husband on their tax return and she would be willing to do it for me......Her income is about $55,000 I hope that will be enough income to cover his sponsorship.....

My husband is in Ghana........and we are getting ready to start all our paper work ......My biggest fear is the I 864.

And If I don't use my Dad's income can I use another family member who does not live with me as a sponsor to get my husband to the states. Thanks	Heather Rae	Female	Ghana	2009-11-19 21:43:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	ATTENTION TO ALL APPLICANTS FOR GHANA	Looks like interview dates have been suspended until they can clear the backlog in U.S. Embassy in Ghana I'm hearing it will take a year just to get an interview date which I pray is not true. Cause I haven't made it that far along myself yet.....and don't want to have to wait so long. There is no legal action that can be taken as far as we know of here at least I haven't heard of anything people are writing letters to officials and senators and all and it has been recognized but still no changes have been made. I have a friend who has been waiting since December 2009 for an interview date for her husband and still hasn't recieved one..... So there are many people waiting and no new so far has come through. All I can tell you is hang in there like the rest of us. and Keep praying......... If you case as actually been sent to the U.S. Embassy you can email them and I believe you can email NVC but what the response will be I have no idea really. I hope I have helped as much as I can....... But will be happy to answer any questions or any concerns and keep communications open. Heather	Heather Rae	Female	Ghana	2010-06-30 11:40:00

My office has recently received a response from their agency in regards to your case. The I-130 petition was received in their office on 12/13/07. They are presently processing petitions in this category dated 7/30/07. The office also advised that in order for any petition to be expedited the beneficiary must have a severe medical condition that has to be treated in the U.S. The illness of the beneficiary must be documented with certified letters from doctors and hospitals. Than upon review by the USCIS, a determination would be made. If you do not hear any response as to the status of your wife’s current petition within 90 business days contact our office.

I understand and hope that for all of us that something changes soon with this process! I have a hard time just sitting back and doing nothing!

Hi, It's very difficult to get track of every procedure they take, I believe your process is now at USCIS and as soon as you get NOA 2 which is the approval of your I130, your process will be sent to NVC. Are you applying for K1, K3 or CR1 visa? Mine is CR1, so we submited I130 and don't need to submit I129, so after approval of our petition on I130 our process was sent to NVC and my husband use to call them to get a status. I send an email every week to get a status from them and they usually take 5 working days to reply, but it's ok. If you search for timelines similar to yours in here, you may understand the step by step for your case. I'm not awared about military records but I believe you will get everything you need from the links below. I've also sent you a flowchart with the step by step for CR1 visas, if that is your kind of visa so that you'll be able to know where you are in the process. http://travel.state..../info_3177.html http://travel.state....ilitary_records http://travel.state..../info_3190.html http://travel.state..../info_3830.html Good luck! Virginia Thanks so much... we are fairly new here (it took us forever to get our paperwork together for the I-130... we are so busy, and frankly, the whole process is overwhelming- I don't see how there are so many immigrants here if it takes all this!)

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Need your prayers	I do hope that all will be cleared up soon, and that you will find a clear diagnosis soon- cancer free. I know this must be so upsetting, but please try to stay as positive as possible, after all there is no cancer now so far, right? I'm not sure what a "cancer marker" is, but it sounds like its just questionable, right? That being said, I will say that I do have my husband on my medical insurance at work right now even though he is not living here now... I thought it would make sense since he does spend time here visiting until he gets his green card, and he doesn't have dental insurance in Canada so we are getting some work done for him now. There was nothing on any forms about pre-existing conditions that I filled out for him. Basically, he is my husband so he is going to be covered... Plus, you don't have cancer now if I'm understanding correctly (hopefully) and so it's not a pre-existing condition anyway I would think. I wish you the best... In my opinion, I would get your husband to cover you in the US since it will give you more options. All the best to you...	lilykouki	Female	Canada	2008-04-19 11:49:00
