IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - May 2014

 

Hello FD&MDVL,

 

It's not an exact science, unfortunately. We are all going by the timelines of other members ahead of us. Two weeks seems to be the current wait time, give or take a day or two. If your docs were received on May 6th, then you should hear something by this week.

 

Good luck!
 

 

I hope and pray that's true. My docs were received April 29th and I still have not heard anything. No checklist, no case complete, nothing :cry:

Hello Joanna,

     We are flying from Bangkok to LA. Yes that is the total price including taxes, seats and 1 piece of luggage per person.

     Its China Southern Airlines. They receive  government subsidies so they can beat anybody on the planet on price.

     Yes from their wiki it looks like they service Malaysia. Use Orbitz to book flights with them for the best price.

     Only go on China Southern's website to sign up for their frequent flyer program, then register it with Orbitz to get credit for the miles

Congratulations! All the best for the interview!

ok.. 24-25 Apr is not too bad.. still ridiculous but hey! Hopefully both of us will be lucky and have a case complete by end of next week!

 

Good luck to you too!!

 

Me toooo!!! Well my documents were all received on the 29th of April so we're pretty close. I don't however know what 'scanned' means. Does that mean input into their system? If so, that would take another 5 day to a week after being received, right?

 

Anyway I want a case complete by May, not too much to ask right?

I eat less when stressed! I look terrible. A bag of bones with black bags under her eyes. :(

 

How I wish I ate less when I am stressed!!! My husband's not gonna be able to put his arms around me when we meet if I go on eating like I am! :ranting:

  Hi Rayan&Joanna,

 

  No I have T-Mobile just to call and text my husband and I pay as I go.  So nothing itemized. :(  I do screen cap on Skype. They say if you ask for them

they will send it but I have sent letters, e-mails the T-M and Virgin which is what I had before,  I get no answer from them even called and I get nothing just frustrated and hang up.

 

Oh okay... screen cap on Skype is as you go right? So each time you chat, you screen cap as well? I think Skype only allows history for the past couple of months. It never really occurred to me that I need to document my entire relationship with my husband! Haha... Anyway, this is Joanna. Ryan doesn't know about the existence of VJ! :rofl:

      How did you get the phone logs is that land line or cell? I requested logs from my cell companies but they never answered back. 


 

 

Hey Soloenta

 

I have logs for my cell phone bills. I get them electronically so I just had to search for them and print them out. I've not tried printing other logs like Skype and Gtalk. Too much if you ask me... Do you not get itemised bills sent to you?

   Awww thank you sweet heart and yes way big of a age gap but he got her the Visa quickly heheheeee.  I'm just paranoid from reading so much here and it's why I stayed away for a very, very long time. 

 

    I agree, everything is possible with God and I have faith that we will get a great counselor and we have some heavy duty proof we are the real thing.  I had to ask a friend to write a letter is all because I do hate having pictures taken of me.  I never look the way I really am hahaaa even my husband said hey that doesn't look like you at all.  Besides very and I mean very little pictures the rest is pure gold.   Much luck to you my friend in your interview I know all will be well.  All Embassies are so different and I'll be praying for you as I pray for all who needs it hear.   (F)  (L)  (F)

 

You are so sweet! I agree! Sometimes the more we know the more paranoid we are. I dont think I have much to worry about since my husband and I are only 2 years apart, are of the same faith and this is the first marriage for both of us. He lived with me here in Malaysia for a year and a half before he left for the States. I'm not planning on printing a million pages of our chat logs and skype session and stuff. I have a couple of phone logs and some photos. Some money transfers too. I don't know if I'm under-preparing but none of the interview reviews I've read said they asked to see all those. Pictures, yes. They ask you to identify people in the pictures apparently. But like you said different embassies are different.

 

Praying for you too!

 

God bless!

    I don't know Ryan&Joanna but if you go to the Egypt Embassy review you will see horror stories and AP lasting up to 3 years.  I don't understand it.  I did read one lady was older than the husband but they approved a 97 year old man marrying a 18 year old and they aren't supposed to be above the law so they say.  It seems they can do what ever they want and no one can stop them from what I've seen.  The interview is what scares me the most. :(

 

Wow... 97 and 18? Not to appear judgmental but that is a really big age gap. I think if we're genuine we should not have too much to worry about. At least I hope that's the case. After all, what do they gain from keeping genuinely married couples apart? Since we do see many fraudulent people on here filing for a 'spouse' I guess they're just being careful, sometimes over careful.

 

Let's hope and pray for the best. Nothing is impossible with God. You'll do just great at the interview. Don't worry :)

    What can I say, at the Egyptian Embassy they insult the petitioner to the beneficiary laughing at pictures and saying things like "why don't you marry a pretty Egyptian" saying your wife is so fuggly you should just marry one of your own.  Anything to agitate and infuriate the husband.  Haven't heard this happening to the wives or female fiances.  It's really shameful the way they treat people just horrible. 

 

Are you serious Soloenta? Why would they do that? Infuriate the husband for what reason? As if this process is not infuriating enough!! Arghhh

Just talked with NVC guy..

He said that they received both packages and already started reviewing.  

:dance:  :dance:

 

Hey we sent the docs on the same date! I hope they're reviewing mine tooo! Somehow I just don't feel like calling NVC anymore. I hate being put on hold, especially when I'm calling all the way from Malaysia!

Hi everyone, I have a question can I start DS-260 and go back to fix any mistakes before submitting?  Thanks for any input...

 

Yes yes you can for sure! I did that! Just save and then you can go back and edit it as many times as you need to :)

Congrats Dhodan!

 

Don't worry - blue crab is right - you'll get the visa in your passport and your document package (don't open it!) on Thursday =)

 

Thank you Rusberri, Just wishing you a very happy pleasant flight!dancin5hr.gif

First of all, congratulations on your approval!

 

Next, you can calm down, because that piece of paper you received will allow you to collect your passport, which will have the visa affixed to it by the time you collect it on Oct 31. The visa is not produced immediately, it'll take a day or two, and that's why they tell you to come back and collect your passport later. They will also give you a packet to bring to the US with you.

 

I reckon if there was trouble with your application which required an AP they would have not told you to come back and collect the passport on a specific date.

 

Hope this helps!

 

Thank you Blue Crab. It really helps!

Thanks again.

Today I had the interview, the Interviewer was a lady, she asked me the typical questions! she said congratulation your case seems grate! Then another Indian-Malaysian lady gave me a short paper with appointment, she wrote my name in Pen and the time of the appointment! the appointment letter says; you may come to the embassy to collect your passport on 31 Oct 2013.

 

What doest this mean? what do you guys think? I fear the worst, there's something they call AP, or administrative processing! that could take months or even years! I hope to pick the visa on Thursday instead of un empty passport!! ClockWatch2.gif

I got a message from NVC saying that my case has been transferred to Kuala Lumpur U.S consular. NVC didn't asked us anything, straight from CSC to consulate, they said; your case is no longer located at NVC, all the inquiry must submit to KL consular. What next guys? can you speculate any Idea about the next stage? Thanks.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)The Waiting room for fiancé visa case number is it 10 days or 20

Guys, I used to read your forum everyday to see any improvement. I sent an inquiry to NVC on 6/24/2013, after long wait I got an answer from NVC saying: We received your inquiry regarding this petition:KLLXXXXXXXXX. Fiied Miss xxxxxx on behalf of Mr xxxxxxx. The NVC completed its processing of this visa petition, and forwarded it to the U.S consulate or embassy in Kuala Lumpur. Malaysia. 

 

You must resubmit your inquiry or request, and all future correspondence to the U.S consulate or embassy in Kuala Lumpur, because this petition is no longer located at the NVC. 

 

What Next? what about the I-134 or I-1864 story, I didn't hear it from them. I don't know the next stage, but I will try to contact the KL consular. do you have any further information that you can help me. Thanks guys I have got plenty of information from your forum and VJ in general.
