IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresSaveable Forms

So we are starting to prepare our forms for NVC wayyyy in advance. After filling out the DS-230 I noticed that I couldnt save it at all with Adobe Pro. After some research I finally found what I was looking for. Foxit reader. Now I can type, edit and save my info on those un0saveable forms. DS-230, I-864 etc. This program works perfect so far. Thought this would be a good share for those who want to save thier info on the forms. :)

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion 15 on I-130

You should be able to put either one. If you put none then it will save you from filling in the address etc. As long as whatever information you put is correct you should be fine. Personally I would put none. Hope this helps you out.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresMy I-130 package. What do you think?

I have the saved PDF formats of all documents we sent as well. The only reason we made duplicates of what we actually sent is in case something happens to the computer then we have a hard copy. But as long as you know what you send and have access to it then you should be fine. I think its more of a comfort thing smile.png

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAugust 2013 K-1 Filers

For those are still waiting for their application to go through, I wish you best of luck!  Like what my future mother in law said: Your relationship is being tested, and once you go through this process your bond will be stronger.  On the other hand, we do have technologies available to us now-a-days people didnt have before that allow us to do facetime/skype video chat, rather than phone calls and waiting weeks for physically mailed pictures and letters.

 

When I was working on K-1 application in late July, my lawyer told me a minimum of 9-12month of wait, with heavy emphasis on 12 month.  I felt bad for weeks after that. I used the visual tools available on VisaJourney, and pinned my timeframe to 7-9 month(by looking at 2012 stats on CA center during the same timeframe).  That will be roughly March-April 2014.  After I applied in August, I booked 3 trips to see and to travel with my baby in China in early Sept, Thanksgiving(Late Nov), and Christmas(late Dec). Thinking about booking a 4th trip targeting around Feb to April.

 

We were extremely lucky, our application was processed by the CA center, and they were much faster than this time (Aug-Oct) last year.  Before Sept trip, I received an RFE, that told me my application is being worked on.  Then was approved right after that trip.  App approval (NOA2) left alot of questions, because I had no way of knowing which stage of the process I was in(is it stuck in US, is it being mailed to embassy, etc etc).  Plus my lawyer told me his job is done. I used many previous forum posts from this website to guide me through this period.  I was very nervous, mostly because of the native Chinese characters address I had to put on the application may not be correctly interpreted by the embassy.  For those that live in Asia, you know address can be very tricky, unlike the very uniformed address system in USA.  Because of the much much earlier approval than anticipated timeframe, I was able to plan my trips differently.

 

Before Nov trip, my baby got the physical packet 3, that was a huge relief(address was correct).  During the Nov trip, she got an email Packet 4.  That allowed her to schedule her interview in Dec.

 

My Dec trip involved picking up her passport with her (did that at a bank in China), and that was the second best day I had during the whole process, first being approved during in person interview at embassy.

 

I came back from my 3rd trip on Jan 6.  As I am writing this (Jan 10, 2014, 7am PST)  My baby is on a flight arriving at SFO very shortly. (Extremely happy)

 

Now we will be starting our much longer AOS process.

 

I wish everyone the best!

This is for benefit of those that are going through Guangzhou, China embassy.

 

 

10/24/2013 NVC left -> Guangzhou, CN

11/05/2013 Guangzhou, CN received

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAugust 2013 K-1 Filers

called NVC today.  If you call later around 8:20 (PDT) I got a human on the line in 10mins.  I asked for my case #, and wanted to conclude the call, but the lady volunteered the status of my case.  It was forwarded to Guangzhou as of yesterday.  (10/28/2013)

 

I used the case number to lookup on CEAC site, and the case# only works under "Immigrant Visa" rather than "non immigrant visa" section.  I was confused, thought K1 was a non-immigrant visa.

 

When I looked up the visa, it only say" case is ready for interview when schedule at consulate" and not much else.  Will I expect this page to be updated as things progress?

Ours changed to Post Decision activity smile.png you check yours too!

 

What does that mean really?  I just called NVC, lady on the phone said they did not receive the case, wait 8 weeks.  I was on hold for a bit less than 30mins. (7PM pacific time when I called).

 

My NOA2 date was 9/17/2013.  Does anyone have any luck retrieving more information about their case?

RFE was about lack of petitioner passport photo.   %$#^%$#^$!!!!

 

Anyway...  from all the posts I've read in this forum, when an RFE is issued usually means NOA2 is ready to go once the RFE is saitisified.  Correct me if I'm wrong.

 

 

Got RFE, notice date 8/29/2013.   Going to deal with that this week.

PhilippinesDay 9 in the USA...Funny Things She Asked
QUOTE (Frank+Jocelyn @ Mar 28 2008, 11:09 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
That is so freaking funny because my wife is asking me the same questions here in Texas specially does about the Trees with no leaves and about the Squirrels hahahah.


When my husband was visiting the US, he observed that no one in America should ever be hungry because there were so many squirrels to eat. It was one of the things that he told his friends about America. yes.gif

I actually ate squirrel the first time I went to Benin. It was the best meat I've ever had. But I don't think we will start eating it when we move to the US.

Really nice. It's good you are keeping track of all this. It will be fun for her in a few years to remember how strange she found everything.

P.S. If she wants larger bags of rice, tell her to go to Louisiana. We sell them as large as they do here in China.

PhilippinesAny Teachers Present?
I'm a teacher, but I'm not from the Philippines and I took my tests (NTE - pre PRAXIS) just after university. However, I'm currently teaching in a district that recruits teachers from the Philippines. I don't know exactly what their contracts require, but I feel certain they are obligated to take the PRAXIS. There are several hundred teachers from the Philippines in my district.

Is she taking a course or studying from a PRAXIS preparation book? I'm sure she will do fine.

Good luck.
