I then hoped up on the bed and took my pants down to check I'm a man, at 6'5 and 20 stone i would be the worlds ugliest woman! I then looked up to see a builder looking through the window at me, our eyes causal locked as my gentlemen tackle was being fondled, we had a moment, was it love? I though it was weird there were no curtains.


You know I needed this, I actually called my husband in the UK just to read him this... thanks for the giggle and your story.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI-130 payment
Like I said I understand now that I messed up on the payment aspect of it, but am I going to have to start it all over and resend it or will they just ask for another form of payment?
I am so stressed out at this point... I am so lost as to what I am doing, I love my husband so much and I just want to be able to take him home with me but I keep getting lost in all the paperwork... I went through the london embassy because we thought we could file there because we are both in the UK but they wouldn't let me because I am not technically a resident I am only here for 42 weeks instead of 52. So I used all the information from their website to build our packet and then was told it had to go to chicago... I am so overwhelmed at this point I can't stop crying. I worked for two months putting it together what i thought perfect because I didn't want them to deny it... I am ready to pull my hair out, and it has all just started.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI-130 payment

Petitions filed at a stateside lockbox have specific payment requirements. It is likely your file will not be accepted with the credit card payment form.


Does this mean that I am going to have to start all over or will they just request a different form of payment? I made copies of everything I sent, but I sent original receipts and a couple of cards that we have received from friends for the holidays, and I didn't make copies of those.

Oh my I am about to have a panic attack. I have been looking through these threads. I married my Husband in December of 2011 and just finally got the I-130 package out today. I was trying to get all of the info needed to show we are a real couple because we are not living together right now because of school and work obligations. Anyway I got the info from the USCIS London Embassy website, they had a Credit Card payment form... I printed it out and mailed it in, because I am living in the UK but not a resident I had to send it off to the chicago lock box.... but everyone else is talking about paying by check or money order... did I do something wrong by sending in the credit card payment form from the london website?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI-864 does this apply to both of us?
Thank you Aaron, I just found out as well that our Joint sponsor will be retiring this year cutting his income in half which is still enough for 3 people but with a 4th do I need to look into finding a bit more income, or since I should be working by that time will the combined income work together?

Thank you for the quick reply, I was just worried because I know in some states they consider things to be combined... like cars etc I wasn't sure if medical bills were included

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI-864 does this apply to both of us?
I just found out I may be pregnant, but I am leaving to go back to the united states in June and my husband will be staying here to wait out the VISA process... Only issue is if I am pregnant I may have to go on state medicad because I don't have medical insurance back in the states because I have been out of the country for 7 months and do not have a job back home. Now I guess I am asking since we are married and I have to go on medicad to have the baby does that jeapordize the I-864 since it talks about not going on assistance? I have a friend who is sponsoring my husband into the country and makes more than enough money to cover us. Then the next question if I am pregnant do I need to list the unborn baby on the I-864? sorry to be so confusing..

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresNOA1 Timeline
I am sorry I am sure this has been asked before but I stink at finding from past threads.
I have been looking through alot of peoples timelines and I have noticed that most people get their NOA1 within a few days...
I sent in the I-130 from the UK but I had to send it to the chicago lockbox because I am not a resident in the UK I am only here on a student visa.
Well I filed this two weeks ago this coming monday, I have been checking my email constantly, I even have my family back in the US checking the post daily...
As I stated in a previous thread I know there is probably going to be an issue because I sent in the London consulate payment form because when I formed my packet I thought i could file in London... and I was so frustrated the day I sent it out I accidently sent in that form. I am just wondering if it is taking so long to hear from anyone because I didn't file from within the US? sorry to be such a pain and ask a question that I am sure has been asked 100 times before.

I don't have access to my US bank account other than a Debit/credit card.... I have to file at the chicago lock box and they want a money order in US dollars... I have NO clue where to buy one here... I have checked my bank and they said they will do a international bank transfer something or other and give me it in US dollars... do you know if USCIS will accept this? or where i can get a money order from? Just want to make sure I get the right thing before i pay the bank £20 for it and its not accepted

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresUSC living abroad question
I am having issues getting a money order in US currency as I stated in another post.. I am going to send my mother the money so she can get me a cashiers check in the US... BUT I was thinking it would be easier if I just sent her the whole package and the money together she gets the package and puts the cashiers check in it and then mails it to the chicago lock box... will that make any difference in our case because of it being mailed from the US and me (the USC) lives in England... after reading all of this stuff I am so scared of being accused of any kind of fraud.. also I keep hearing about this auto expedite thing... so of course I don't wanna jeapordize our chances for that. sorry to keep on you all the time with all of these questions

To Whom it May Concern
Our case number is xxxxxxxxxxx My husbands name is James xxxxxxxxx DOBxxxxxxxxx I am LaShanna xxxxxx the petitioner DOBxxxxxxx. I am wanting to file for an expedite on grounds of financial hardship. My husband is self employed as a dispatch rider in London and due to the cost of fuel it is hurting us both severely financially. He works 60 hours a week on the road trying to make ends meat and by the time its said and done with fuel cost the company that he is self employed through sends him a negative pay slip where he ends up owing the company money. This week alone it was -£15. I have attached a copy of his most recent pay packets. I spoke with a gentleman at the NVC and I am worried this will hurt our case because he is the one in financial hardship. The sooner he gets here the better because we are able to maintain a steady income here in the states without worry of any financial burden. I am having to wire him money to survive right now just to pay bills which is causing issues on this end because I am now paying for both of our bills and as you can imagine the cost of living is much higher than it is in New Mexico. As you can see in the past 3 weeks he has only cleared £144 and that is before taxes and national health is taken from his wages which is no where near enough to survive on in London. If there is anyway to expedite this and get him here sooner it would be greatly appreciated. I hate to think of my husband having to exist in such hardship.
Thank you for your time and considerations.
LaShanna xxxxxxxxxxx

I am hoping this is enough to help our case and not hinder it, I also attatched copies of his wage slips ... but it is getting so bad he can't even afford to eat, I am hoping that doesn't hinder him from getting his visa... do you think I did the right thing?

be careful with just getting married and him leaving, my friends wife is from Germany and she came over and they married... she had to go back to Germany and when she came back the next time they arrested her and denied her entry saying that she didn't have the right visa when she married a US citizen...

Hey I came to the UK back in August, I met my now husband in september, we were married in December and just started the process to get him moved to the US *laughs* its a long process hun, I am still in the UK on a student Visa, but I have to head back to the US in June... all you have to do to get married is go to the local town hall and give notice that you are getting married that can take a bit to get an appointment so plan ahead! I filed my I-130 a couple weeks back, and I think we are going the CR-1 route... I am still confused on what all we need to do... I just know the I-130 is gonna get the ball rolling
