Hi everyone! I am working on my I-130 Petition and I got to the biographic information. Obviously I am stuck so I am asking for your help.
On G-325a:
This form is submitted in connection with an application for:
Naturalization
Other (Specify):
Status as Permanent Resident
I have to check one of the above. Is it status as permanent resident or should I check Other (Specify): and put I-130 Petition?
Thank you good.gif


You should check Other (Specify) and write I-130 Spouse

It looks like this: Other (Specify): I-130 Spouse

That is what I wrote on my G-325a and it was approved.

Your case has moved the fastest I have ever seen. Congratulations for that! I wish I saw more people move that quickly. As for the packet, there is just the one where you send the DS-230 in with all required documents. The other packet you hear about is the appointment letter with instructions for what to do to prepare for that interview (so nothing to worry about). It looks like your doing fine. Good luck!

Anywhere from 3 days to two weeks. Depends how busy they are.
CSC is not busy all the time and has proven to be better center that vermont (at least right now) so be patient you have to wait little longer till you get the approval.

Don't worry because they love money more than you do.


It is CSC. What worries me is that my mom sent the same petition few weeks ago and it only took the 3 days.

How do you determine if you have been HIT! I just got my NOA1 and I tried adding my case number to my portfolio but the system is responding with a wired message:
Validation Error(s)
You must correct the following error(s) before proceeding:

* Customer Portfolio Insert Failed
* Attempting to add a case that does not exist. Check the app receipt number.

And I HAVE!!! I cheeked and I checked and I checked. I assume that it probably takes few days for them to add me to the system because I got my NOA1 on Nov 1st, but does anyone know how ling?
Oh and back to my original question: How do I determine if I have been HIT!?!?
Thank you all!

Emo, I have a question for you, since you filed earlier than us, how did you find out that you had the NOA1 already? I seem can't dig out in my brain to remember in any of those forms we filled out that we were asked to put our email address so they can send us notification if they were able to received our papers. It has been 3 days since CH lockbox received our papers, still no word. I may sound stupid but I'd like to know how can we possibly received an NOA1 in my husband's email except from receiving a hard copy? and since we don't have the receipt number yet, we cant track it in case status online.


I got my NOA1, the hard copy I mean. It was 8 or 9 days after CH lock box received my I-130. After you receive it you can go to USCIS and register with your case number.

I went to the USCIS website to check my status and here is what I got:

On October 27, 2008, we received this I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN, and mailed you a notice describing how we will process your case. Please follow any instructions on this notice. We will notify you by mail when we make a decision or if we need something from you. If you move while this case is pending, call customer service. We process cases in the order we receive them. You can use our processing dates to estimate when yours will be done. This case is at our CALIFORNIA SERVICE CENTER location. Follow the link below to check processing dates. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case. Just follow the link below to register.

BUT, I didn't send it FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN, I sent it for my wife!!! Shouldn't it say FOR SPOUSE???
Please help I am freaking out!!!

Yes. I would wait until they tell you it has been generated. I sent both the emailed DS3032 and the hard copy with the barcode. From my own experience and many others that I have read, it seems like they process the hard copy the quickest. Try both.

2 yr marriage compared to just married


CR-1 is conditional visa - meaning that in event of divorce or else you can loose it and IR-1 is unconditional visa meaning you can't loose it. Most of the time CR-1 is given to a spouse and IR-1 is given to child or parent. Sometimes a spouse can be granted IR-1 visa if the marriage has existed more than 2 years. If you get the CR-1 thow you will have to file for removal of conditions 3 months before your second anniversary.

hi there,


i would stronly suggest to re do it all over again..

download the new PDF and fill it up all over again..

that is the best way you can do it if you really prefer using computer and print it and send it to your wife...

that is my husband's suggestions too for we did have that kind of situation before while we are still proccessing my K1..
hope this suggestions, helps yah and clear yah mind out?!

It will not work. The same thing happened to me and the only way to go is to leave it empty and add it afterwords with a pen. I tried to solve this bug for a week before I gave up. I tried everithing even editing the document with adobe acrobat proffesional, but I couldn't do it because the file was encripted. And I couldn't find a version of it that is not bugged. So don't waste your time trying.
