IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsPraise God I'm approved!

Everyone!! Oh  my God!

 

Oh my God! Everyone! I'm approved! I checked the USCIS website just now! Oh my God! And I had to keep on checking and clicking it just to make sure if its true and the website isn't just malfunctioning. Hahaha, anyone here July filers who got approved already! Check your statuses everyone! All praises to the Most High! Thank you everyone for the prayers! Now we're heading to the next step. I'm not sure what the next step is yet but we'll get to that. Hahahaha!

 

Don't loose hope everyone! I really believe that what I did last night was the reason why this miracle happened. For the first time in my life I knelt down and prayed and talked to Jesus Christ my Savior with all my heart. I had complete faith that everything will happen according to His plan. You might want to do this, believe and give thanks for an answered prayer even if it hasn't come yet. God is good all the time!

 

Just a summary, our petition was accepted July 25, transfered to Texas Nov.22, and approved today December 3. I think our case was expedited because I'm a Filipina and that benefciaries form Phils. are said to receive a benefit of expedit as a relief for the recent Typhoon Haiyan. Yes it is indeed fast! My husband and I are truly grateful for this wonderful time in our life!

 

Keep on praying everyone!

Congrats :) we also got approved December 3.

Hi,
 
I brought 2 copies of SLEC online registration form, 3 pcs 2X2 passport photo (with my full name written at the back), copy of biographic page of my passport, they will ask for appointment letter, I just show them the barcoded copy of the instruction letter from NVC with my case number (ACL letter). you have to photocopy all documents in letter size. And I brought water as well.. lol! Arrived there at 5:40am and the process went smooth in the morning. Done with everything at 10:30 am except for the immunization. Need to go back at 1:30pm for vaccination and I had my vaccination at 4:50pm. Gosh! Got the result and cd at 5:30pm. But I'm lucky though because most of my batchmates need to go back the other day for immunization. Good luck!



You're lucky :) . You're done in just 1 day .

i think every operator at the nvc gives a time frame but the usual timeframe i get to see through peoples timelines for reviewing the AOS and the IV packages is from 15 to 20 business days that is when someone can expect to hear something back as for the packages

 
how long it took the expedite you did at the NVC to be reviewed by the us embassy in Philippines ?




15 days .. But it was denied ..

Yan ? JoyNot TellingPhilippines2014-02-07 07:37:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - February 2014

So they will review AOS for 3-10 days not for 30 days?


We did expedite . But it was denied by the embassy. And my friend who did expedite also told to her that they will review their AOS for 3-7 days ..

Ok here we go again, another checklist...this time for the IV Package.  I know I've seen someone post this exact thing, but doing a VJ search only yields results from 2010 & 2011.  I can't find the one that was on the monthly threads here.
 
______10 - PASSPORT POLICE CERTIFICATE:____________________________
Indian Police Clearance Certificates should be obtained as follows:
All Indian IV applicants aged 16 and above, residing in India, should obtain police
certificates from the local Passport Office. 
Indian passport holders applying for visas outside India should obtain a statement from their
local embassy or consulate confirming they have no criminal record. 
Non-Indian IV applicants residing in India should obtain police certificates from the District
Police Station serving their area of residence. 
Indian police certificates are not available for foreign (non-Indian) applicants applying
outside India. 
[J8B 03/05/2014]
 
 
My husband's original (plus 1 copy) PCC was included in the IV Package we sent. It was obtained from the Passport Seva Kendra. It is not local police.  It is dated Dec. 19, 2013.  So it is not more than 6 months old.
 
Is this a false checklist? Should I call them? Why would they issue this if the PCC was included in the package?



















Hello, we received that also about the PCC I submitted my Original NBI plus a photocopy . All my civil documents were clip together , I thought it was lost, so I called them .. The nice lady told me that "disregard the email you received ma'am, no need to send another copy," BTW ,better to call them to confirm .

We're on the same boat :( and my husband already filed ITR2013 which he filed single . But he already amend his status from single to MFJ.. The preparer was the one who put MFJ . My husband insist that we need ITIN but the preparer told him that he just only need my signature .. Better to call IRS then :(
