Congrats!!! Good luck to you on your journey!!
 
As part of the next steps, I"m assuming you'll have to submit a police certificate from your country of residence (India?) Did you already get it? If not, how would you go about getting it. I've stayed in US/Canada all of my teenage and adult life and have recently returned to India in the past year.
 
Curious to see how you're planning the steps.
 
Congrats again! =)

Actually I am the USC...
My fiance is from India and he has yet to start working on the police certificate. This was way unexpectent and we really thought it would not be till aug when we would receive noa2 and of course he is on business trip and won't be returning to patna in another 6 days but I will let you know what he did and keep you informed if you like!
 
Yes, please contact them and speak with a Tier 2 immigration officer. Tell him/her your situation. In my case, I got a mail from them saying that they've lost my file. I hope to god that's not what's happened to you too.

Well it depends.....our petition was at NVC for about 2 weeks then sent out to Mumbai. They had it for about 2 weeks and I checked Mumbai consulate website for interview dates and our BMB number was on there, so now my fiance has 1 month and a week till interview.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsChange of Consulate

When my husband and I tried for the K-1 route, we thought he would go to the Delhi Consulate because Patna was closer to Delhi then Mumbai and we put Delhi on the application. After it was approved we found out it went to Mumbai because they covred  over Bihar state. It seems it goes by the address you put on the application.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresQuestions Before Sending in the I-130
It sounds good to me but if you have pictures of the wedding and you with her family, I believe you will be set. To answer how much is to much. I can't answer that for you. We sent a page a day of our chat logs since the time I sent the petition till a week to his interview and I still wonder if we should have sent more, but guess fiance and I will find out when they call him for another interview date! I do wish y'all luck!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresMedical Worries
I would think he will be ok, but have him take just in case. Has he had the xray done in the past? My fiance xray came back cloudy and had to have a spectum test done and could not be interviewed until consulate received the results, my fiance also smokes.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresmispelled name on India marriage registered certificate
My husband and I just gotten married on April 22 in Delhi India. While on honeymoon I noticed that my name, the USA citizen name was mispelled. My name is melissa and the certificate says malissa. On the registration of hindu marriage certificate I had to sign it. So I wondering if this will cause a problem when I get back to the states and file cr1. We also contacted the court on this matter and they said it will take a month to fix this problem. Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresMisspelled name on registration of marriage in India

great!

 

if your marriage certificate is like ours you should be fine. Ours has out passport photos on the MC along with our full names, DOB and signatures i would guess that if yours is like that too then at the infopass appt it should be verified that its not a problem at all!

 

hoping for the best for you!

at the worst case you will still have to go through the hassle of correcting it but probably not!

 Now my marriage certificate of registration of Hindu marriage act does not have our picture on it, but it does have my date of birth, address and my signature on it. My Hindu marriage license has my picture on it. I guessing I should bring both documents in.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresMisspelled name on registration of marriage in India

Thanks to the both of you for all the help. After the denial of the K-1, I trying to not freak out over stuff but this has us freaked out pretty bad.


Mel&LalFemaleIndia2014-05-08 11:17:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresMisspelled name on registration of marriage in India

I don't know how much of a problem it will create if you send the packet with 1 marriage certificate (that is spelled wrong) and then update the packet later once its fixed? Or do you send the packet without the marriage certificate knowing that you will send it as soon as you get it corrected? Maybe call and speak to tier 2 and see what they recommend?

 

also see how long it will take to get the marriage certificate fixed, if its less than a month i would wait and send everything together and correctly the first time, since sending incorrect MC or not sending the MC at all might delay processing by more than a month anyways so it would have been worth it to wait for the corrected MC and send it all together!

 Ok I talked to a tier 2 and he advised me to make an info pass appointment to look at the marriage certificate and to see if it will cause a problem.


Mel&LalFemaleIndia2014-05-08 09:22:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresMisspelled name on registration of marriage in India

You shouldn't have to go to india to get this fixed. we used an agent from Your Man in India and he fixed hubby's birth certificate (which had a completely wrong name) it costs a little more (around $100) but they did all the legwork at the municipal office and got us 4 certified corrected copies to submit. oh and it was done relatively quickly (under a month)

 

hope that helps!

That's great!!!! I will let the husband know about this so, we can start working on fixing this problem. Do you think I should wait to file after we get the marriage certificate fixed? I really wanted to get the ball rolling on the petition since I know its going to take some time.


Mel&LalFemaleIndia2014-05-07 06:10:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresMisspelled name on registration of marriage in India

Do whatever you have to do to get the marriage certificate corrected.  What that will be, is up to the court.  I don't see a reliable way around it.  I take it you signed this document with your name misspelled.  Is that correct?


Yes, both my husband and I are surprised that we did not catch this. I am thinking of sending both the registered marriage and the Hindu marriage also which has my picture on it to prove its me till I can afford to return to India to fix.
