K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsK1 Denial at Lagos what do I do next to get him here soonest?
Well am not an immigration expect,and this what my own understanding is telling, first the C O is not doulting the relationship, look at what he told him am sorry I can't approved ur visa at this time,but that doesn't stop you guys from getting married,i think what was going on in the mind of the C O is u have visited three times with a year, what stop you guys from getting married or is it that you guys re not sure yourselfs,secondly they re nit sure if the man is completely separated from his wife,debbie this is my own little understanding,they still av a very good case,and the best for them is to go ahead and get married here in lagos and file for an i130 petition,one thing I av learnt in this immigration process is that there is nothing like as quick as possible, it's all about time,take ur time and make the best out of it,thank you

I quite understand the aspect of visa availability as USC. I only wanted to know if the line "Your case is now being processed" actually means they are already on my case or they will be attending to it soon as is expected of USC petition as against LPR.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresF2a upgrade- what do you think
Hello all, I am new on the forum and want to hear from experienced minds.

Hubby filed my i130 as LPR with PD 04/06/12 but just became USC on 06/07/13. He called VSC same day to upgrade and got the response pasted below. I would like to know if this particular sentence "Your case is now being processed" means that they are presently on my case and hopefully, should hear something soon. Has anyone got a similar mail and what's the status update:

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsIts been 36 business days, yet no IV bill !!!!!!

Its crazy, its sick and it doesnt make any sense at all. Do NVC also take 30 business days to answer their calls?. I sent in my ds261 since May 31st, 2014.  its was scanned on the 3rd of June 2014.  I am still waiting to get my iv bill. got a checklist for not submitting page 9 of 9 i-864 form, sent it already. but does that mean i wont get my iv bill invoice till the AOS checklist is reviewed?. Please help. Is anyone experiencing or has ever experienced this?, what did you do about it?.

Also, do you have him on a joint bank account or utilities?  Something like that

 

NOpe, But we could open one of those, its just that it'll be a new account and not much money deposited in it, but does it matter if its new?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresdocuments for relationship evidence

 

You need a variety not just one thing. Emails, IM's, chats, facebook, yahoo, Whatsapp, Skpye and the most important that  you must have for lagos Phone log records and pictures with family and friends.

 

Bank accounts and such not that big a deal we don't live with our spouses so not that heavily weighed.

 

make sure if you have any red flags you address them all

 

1. religious difference

2. divorced

3. Children previous relationship

4. Age

5. Race

 

Oh yes red flags, my spouse is divorced with 4 children and i know their names, age, school they attend, how much he pays for child support and they live with his ex-wife. Only the youngest visits him once every month. As for age difference....blush.png , he's about 20 years older....... but we got all the phone logs and pictures they'll need. Its all so scary, am so nervous cos i don't want us to get an "RFE" at any point. 



Quality, not quantity.. a sampling of chats, sms, pictures etc over time are fine

 

thanks so much.

my wife fell of the staircase in her house and broke the bone on her left hips which was terrible and the Doctor at the hospital has immediately perform a surgery on her which was succuessful.  the broken bones was replaces with a metal joint and she has no one to take care of her right there at the hospital her sister lives away too far and a friend who has being helping her wasnt stable with her due to her job.

 

So I will like to knw if theres a way to have Nebraska service center expedite our CR1 case so that I can go be with her and take care of her because she told me the doctor will have her go home on friday and the road for recovery is 8 to 10 month... So will it be possible to have Nebraska service center expedite our CR1 case, Our case has being with them since Novemeber and it almost 5 month now.

 

 

 

Any suggestions and please help with a phone number to call the USCIS For expedition
