IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresif you have USA its not mean u can Enter USA
it will be okay. since its a CR visa. you are married to a USC and you have a valid visa.. you might be in question in POE. security questions perhaps..as long as you are suspicious.. but since you have been in Qatar long enough to have a residency visa.. just go to US from QATAR.

CANADA has bad relationship with UAE but Canadians can still travel to UAE :D

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresImmigrant Visa for Spouse
if you do not plant to migrate you can file for tourist visa, your husband works here and just have evidence showing that you have your life here and intend to go back.

if you plan to go to us for good.. file DCF.

girl, they are correct. There is no specific time frame. It can be faster or slower. But just to shed some hope, i saw 2 cr/ir filers who got everything done in about 5 months. But there is no guarrantee.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresUS taxes while in I130/IR1/CR1 proceedings

Edited; I see that someone already posted about the acceptance agent. Note that if you have an IRS office in your area, you can take the passport or documents directly to that office to be copied and authenticated so they do not have to be out of your hands. You can do this even if you are sending the authenticated copies to Austin.



have you already applied for your wife?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresUS taxes while in I130/IR1/CR1 proceedings

My NRA spouse is from the Philippines I am the USC, I am going to try to send in her original voters ID(which has her picture on it) and birth certificate. We can not send in her passport because she only has one and also she is in the process of getting it changed along with her SSS card to married status and name change. I am not sure if these 2 ID's will suffice. Any light on the subject would be great. I did read the instructions for the ID requirements for w-7 so I think I will be ok. Thanks for bringing this topic up Speedwell.


hi. i read in some forums that US govt needs it to be validated or something, authenticated that it need ot go thru DFA and be notarized by US accepted agency.

My husband and I decided that I will just send him my passport and have it notarized there in US. or present it to accepting agent or something just to avoid the hassles. Just a suggestion.

I do understand that she is in the process of renewing it. her SSS card may take some time. knowing government here in PI.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresPrevious k1 visa, no divorce, now CR-1- problem?
true. Its not yet too late. It might be confirmed she is married, but the divorce decree is separate. The wife should check with the state where the husband#1 lived maybe she can obtain a divorce decree. Or she can contact husband#1 to seek help.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresPrevious k1 visa, no divorce, now CR-1- problem?
i strongly suggest for your friend or her husband to find out if there was a divorce filed in las vegas for their marriage in 2007 or where his husband currently lives. Maybe ex husband will give her a hard time obtaining divorce papers. As what they advised, it can be grounds to lifetime ban in US. goodluck.

i was referring to ex husband
biaobiaoFemalePhilippines2013-03-23 09:09:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresPrevious k1 visa, no divorce, now CR-1- problem?
they have to check in las vegas if the marriage is indeed valid. In PI, if it was not reported to the embassy or consulate i doubt it will be on records. Best option is to double check in las vegas where they got married if it was registered. I do not their policy. She better be prepared during the interview.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresFiling jointly

Check to see whether your spouse, like mine, holds dual citizenship and two passports. We are filing immigration paperwork based on his being a UK citizen, and he is actually in the UK, so he needs to hang on to his UK passport. But we're sending his (original) Irish passport to the IRS! I've run this by three top-class CPAs, two of which handle immigrant cases, so I know it's a solid idea. They said it was "clever", lol.



i would like to ask if you have sent the original passport and if you have gotten it back already. thank you

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresNeed a PCC from Dubai? (split topic)

you dont need a pcc... you have to be physically present in dubai to obtain one...

 

 

 

 

http://travel.state....l?cid=9666#docs

Police Records

Available, only if applicant is physically present in the UAE.

Police certificates may be obtained by any person, regardless of nationality, by personally appearing at the Central Police Headquarters located in the emirate of residence or former residence. When appearing to request a police certificate, the applicant should provide recent photographs, a letter from the requesting authority, the date of residence in the emirate, and their passport.

Not available by mail. Post recommends that consular officers waive the general requirement to obtain police certificates unless the applicant lives in the UAE.

Most likely if you can file for your wife you should be able to apply for crba.. Don't worry. You have been given your options.. If your wife gets her visa before she gives birth and she can still travel. Then she can give birth there.. If she gives birth before the visa comes then CRBA is the best way.. Goodluck. I am praying that she can travel before she gives birth

you might want to include NSO birth certificate, marriage certificate, nbi clearances.. documents needed for the NVC stage so that your husband can just mail the package from california to NVC :D

 


biaobiaoFemalePhilippines2014-04-25 03:31:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI'm the beneficiary, Should I send my NBI Clearance, Police Clearance to my husband?
Yes you can send it.. Include nso copy of your marriage certificate and birth certificate too.. Passport pictures too..

Nbi is valid for a year..

Anyways it will be same amount for sending with or without the other documents...

Just secure a copy upon interview too

You don't really want to obtain your NBI clearance this far in advance, as it could be too old by the time it is needed.  If you already have it, fine.  After the petition is approved, is the time to get the NBI clearance and the NSO certificate showing no other marriage than the current one.  These last two documents should not be obtained too early.


Isnt the cenmar needed only at the interview?
