IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Approved!!!	I'm so happy. My visa was approved today....................This would mark one of the most happiest moment in my life!   The interview was in Lagos, Nigeria. Interview took just 7mins. Our PD was 6th August 2013.   I couldn't sleep all night and my interview was for 7am. I got to the embassy at 5am just to beat the Lagos traffic. Ushered into the embassy at around 7:20am.   Sat down and did all the formalities.   Interview was at about 8:20am.   CO: Good morning are you Mr XYZ   me: Yes   CO:is your wife Miss XYZ   me: Yes   CO: how did you meet your wife   me: We met online 3years ago   CO: Where did you propose to your wife and how do you communicate   me: I visit the US every month and we communicate on YIM   CO: can i see pictures of you in america and how many times has your wife been to Nigeria   me: (handed over pictures) she has been here once, she's scared of flying   CO: I see you guys had a lovely wedding ceremony, do your parents know about here (thats a trick question cos she was staring at my parents pictures)   me: sure they do, they are the ones in the picture   CO: perfect everything checks out, pick up your visa in one week at the address   me: (smiling like a puppy) thanks       And that was it. I appreciate the effort of DWHEELS, she is an angel, a confidant, a sister and a friend.   All the folks in our August 2013 chat room, everyone who has given suggestions, or even experiences you are all blessed   And to all those still waiting...................just believe, your is on the way.	godfadda6	Male	0	2014-09-02 04:34:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Someone Please Help	Good day guys,   I'm from Nigeria and sequel to some of my post here, I have eventually gotten married to my wife in tampa. I flew to tampa with my family on my B1/B2 visa. My problem is that my B1/B2 visa is going to expire in August.   I work for an airline, so I travel back and forth. My wife is scared of airplanes, so that means I have to do the 16hrs flight back and forth once a month to see her. We are about to beging the process of the CR1 visa, my question is that if we start the process this month (june) would I be able to renew my B1/B2 visa when it expires in August, and if I can renew my visa, would I still be allowed to visit her in the US pending with my CR1 visa is being processed.   I need direction on this please, anyone	godfadda6	Male	0	2013-06-08 15:46:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Can I visit my husband in the USA while awaiting a response from the USCIS?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Information Needed	Good day All,   I must confess, it has been a real journey for me and my wife. Sometimes information is easy, sometimes you are just confused.   Here is my confusion:   1. Me and my wife had gotten case complete (well thats what the email says) but I need to show the AOS at the embassy during interview.   2. We got this email 19th of July, my wife called the NVC and was told our interview has been scheduled for September 2nd   3. We are moving apartments, I told my wife to call the NVC and change the address which she had did, do I need to change the address anywhere else?????   4. Reading the requirements for the embassy, it states that I need to bring the original documents to the embassy, but I submitted the originals to NVC, does that mean I need to go to the embassy with the copies????   5. After the visa is issued, can I travel to the US and come right back to my country because I'm still holding on for transfer to the US from my company. I don't want to quit my job yet, I want to transfer, can i come back to my country and go back and forth till my transfer is finalized.	godfadda6	Male	0	2014-08-01 07:20:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Best Option	Thanks for your reply guys! We have decided to have a court wedding in nigeria and have a ceremony in the states later next year! I just hope all works well, with the timing and all.	godfadda6	Male	0	2012-09-22 11:02:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Best Option	thanks for your reply guys! I told her about the whole plan and she is concerned about the wait, we now decided that she comes to africa and we go to a marriage registry and sign the register, then she can file for me as a spouse, but our concern is that we just met in feb of this year....would that affect anything????	godfadda6	Male	0	2012-09-19 07:40:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Best Option	well she is the one in the US, i'm in africa...i have a B1/B2 visa and i have been to the US over 18times in 14months, training and all................so can't i just go get married to her and come back to africa and apply for a CR/IR visa?????	godfadda6	Male	0	2012-09-18 10:31:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Best Option	Hey guys, after reading through various post, i just have a tought i don't know if it is realistic and feasible, since we have chosen the date of the wedding, why don't we go ahead with the ceremony regardless of if the K1 visa goes through, and when the K1 visa goes through, we can just go back and have a court house signing of the marriage register which makes the marriage legal. Is that a feasible thing to do, as the date of the wedding is fixed.	godfadda6	Male	0	2012-09-18 04:16:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Best Option	It could be approved(K-1) by then but it depends on a number of factors that occur/could occur along the way. Not to mention processing times at the two visa centers can change at any time. Vermont is processing quite slow at the moment, but it could pick up suddenly and then California slow down and you could be stuck in that queue(if your application went to cali that is[depends where you live where it goes]). Not to mention if you got an RFE then that could put the process off for another month or so. Many things could happen. Also if your fiancee is from a high-risk country then the processing might be a bit slower at her embassy when it gets to the point after the NOA2. Do NOT make any plans for a wedding date, it can't be guaranteed at all that you will be approved by then. The USCIS doesn't recommend you do this until after you have your visa in hand. If I was you and you wanted a wedding at some point mid next year, I would be filing your K-1 in the next week or so and hope for a quick processing. You might not get approved by May but it could be close to it at least thanks alot hey sofia, but I have my tourist visa, if the k1 visa is not approved before the wedding, can i just go ahead with the wedding and change the status of my visa to an IR/CR visa??	godfadda6	Male	0	2012-09-18 02:54:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Best Option	thanks everyone, well we intend to get married in the US, we wanted to get married where both parents would be present, my parents are younger but her's are way older so the informed our choice of the US. Also, I just have a guts feeling if we start on time, the approval might be gotten before the wedding in may!	godfadda6	Male	0	2012-09-17 22:55:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Best Option	Hey everyone, my name is Ayo and I'm new to VJ. I have learnt alot from this site and I must commend moderators and members. I have a question that has been bugging my mind for a while now and I feel i can get a quick response here. I met my girl friend on an online dating site close to a year ago and we have been friends since then, I travelled to tampa to see her in april of this year and we just connected more, I also went to see her in May and asked her dad if it was ok to date her. In july i summoned courage to ask her to marry me and which she agreed to do and I gave her the "promise ring". When all thsi was going on, we have always been talking about marriage and relocation. Initially i didn't dig the idea of marriage and relocation, but when I spoke to my employers, they told me that if I can get my "papers" i can be transfered to work in the company's office in the US (i work for an airline in the US). Now my fiancee, her parents, my parents and myself have all agreed that we should have a wedding in May of next year, this is my question, is it adviseable we take the K1 route or the K3 route. also if we take the k1 route, when is the best time to start the application process, bearing in mind that the wedding is coming up in may of next year. I would like anyone who has meaningful information to please let us know	godfadda6	Male	0	2012-09-17 20:38:00
