IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresInterviewed on I129 and in AP now want to file IR1....PLEASE help not sure what to expect??

You are in AP which means they are checking the relationship out probably. Lagos is a hard place to go through. Being in AP means you are stuck for now. Pushing another visa there won't help as it will end up in the same place. Didn't you file the Cr1 to be able to file the K3 ? See if you can contact kelly1290 or Afrilaskan Queen. They have had bump rides and may be able to provide some ideas.



Thanks for the info........Just because you file a K3 doesn't mean you automatically file for the CR1/IR1 as well. You have to request the approved I130 onto the embassy, which means you adjust your status in the SO's home country. Otherwise if you interview on the I129f (which we did) the I130 stays in the states to be later processed with adustment of status once the benificiary is here in the USA. You must specifically request the I130 to go to the embassy, which is what makes it the CR1/IR1.

I'm hoping someone can answer my question. My husband and I have filed for a K3 visa. He got his NOA2 for the I129f and the I130 in February and interviewed on the K3 in April. He got put in AP and was told at the time of his interview was due to his medical not being complete at the time of the interview (they notified us 20 days prior to his interview and we didn't have time to complete the entire medicals). He was told he should contact the embassy until they give him an appointment at the 1pm designated time. I have emailed them and keep receiving the same answer that he is in AP and they will contact us once the process is complete. My question: has anyone gone through something similar and then opted to file for the CR1/IR1 and how did that work out?? We have begun the process and I just want to prepare myself for what to expect. I have read mixed messages about this process and just want some guidance. I'm mainly concerned that we will have to wait forever for an interview or that they won't even give us an interview until the AP is finished with the I129f. Thanks for your help regarding this.





Not even ONE person has ANY advice/thoughts?? WOW......I really thought SOMEONE would respond to my post and give me some direction.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresK3 approved IR1 interview scheduled should I wait??
QUOTE (christeen @ Dec 15 2009, 04:12 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
If you have the chance to get the IR1... it is the BEST visa as you get the GC when you enter for 10 YEARS!!! That means you get the SS#, can get the Drivers Licence and work when you enter and NOP ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS... Don't worry bout the other $$$ as the K3 would cost you $1010 plus the filing fees!!!! For 1 month (since your interview is the 22nd of January) without a moment of hesitation I would trade that wait for the IR1... No questions!!!



someone said that I could risk being put back into AP again for the IR1 and that by going to the interview regardless of the outcome it could cancel out the K3 visa. Does anyone know if this is true or not?? Please remember I am also dealing with the Nigerian embassy......

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresK3 approved IR1 interview scheduled should I wait??

This is my situation: Filed for a K3 visa had interview on the I129 in April got put into AP got called back into the embassy yesterday for another interview on the I129, which got approved....YIPPPEE!! However, while we were waiting to be out of AP (8 months) we went ahead and paid the additional fee of 470.00 for the I130, which turns it into the IR1. The NVC approved the I130 and scheduled an interview date for January 22 at 7am. I was hoping when Ademola went for his interview yesterday they would just do the IR1, but the NVC hadn't forwarded on the documents needed to complete the case which is why they did the K3. I'm not sure if we should wait and go to the interview and just do the IR1 or we should just forget it (lose the 470) and do the adjustment of status here. This would also mean he wouldn't be able to get a job until the EAD is approved, which you have to have an active AOS filed. I worry that there is a risk that they might not approve the IR1 even though the K3 got approved. Has anyone heard of this happening? Does anyone have any words of wisdom or advice for me......it would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks

Sorry for all those typos. I was typing fast.

If they have the appointment set up for the CR1, they hve recieved word from the NVC. That is the good news.

You will have favor.



Thanks Missy......just learning as I go along. Its all sooo confusing and everytime I call I get different information. One person will say they are two seperate cases and then someone else will say they go together. They must both be in their system though right? That would only make sense to me, but this is Nigeria after all and as we all know they don't exactly do things the way they should....lol. I'm going to email the two receipts I got from the NVC for the two fees I paid so he can print them out to bring with him along with the appointment letter they sent him for the I130 interview in January. He is going to come online this weekend so I can quiz him and ask him the questions I think he will need to know. He should be fine, but I just want to make sure he's prepared........so much STRESS!!

Asking him to come in is in responce to the AP. You do not actually get a seperate interview, because you filed a different petition. Technically they will schedule one going through the mostions, but he is the sam eperson so the same responce will happen. They will just adjust it when the give him his Visa. Make sure he has proof that you paid the fees at the NVC.

You visibly were put in AP because of medicals not being finished. You knew that going into the interview, but now you know the AP consisted of more. He was going to be put in AP whether he had his medicals or not. Has he ever applied for a student or visiting visa??? If you answer yes, call me on that one. So did my ex.

Comming in sooner could be good or bad. There is not justification either way. The home visit and neighbor interviews went well and he got the Visa or they went bad and he is denied.

You can't get confused with the 2nd interview. Even if he made it to the interview for the CR1 in Janurary without being out of AP, he could still remain in AP.

Your situation is very unique so it is difficult for people to give you advice.



Thanks Missy. He is soooo freakin out right now and its making me crazy. The home visit with my father in law went well so I think this is good. I'm just concerned they won't realize the I130 is completed, since the NVC still has the paperwork and hasn't sent it out yet. I want him to be able to work once he gets here and not have to wait the 6 months it takes to file the EAD and you have to have an AOS (code for more money) in process in order to file for the EAD, which I did not know. No, as far as I know he's never applied for any other type of visa than the one we have filed.

Sorry, you asked if this has happend to anyone else and I cannot say I have seen a case like this... Have you tried looking through the threads and doing a search to see if there are similar cases...

Now at first glance I would say to go to the earlier interview and let them know then that you have the interview for the IR1 in January. Best case scenario is that they can switch you from the K3 to the IR1 and save you the troble of AOS... I have seen other cases where the consulate did this, meaning they went to the K3 interview but since the I130 was approved and at the consulate they issued the IR1/CR visa... Hope that is the case with you...

If they want you to come in and it seems like the AP is done, then I would say go ahead and come in earlier... If there are any issues then you still have the January interview to fall back on...



Thanks Christeen for at least giving me your opinion. This process is soooo difficult and I'm so freaked out right now by all of this. Anyway, the problem is that the NVC has not sent the documents onto the embassy. Our plan is to go to the interview and for my husband to explain to them that we have a date already scheduled in January and that we want the IR1 visa instead of the K3, since we already paid the money and can save ourselves a few steps by doing that. I sent an email to the embassy today requesting they contact the nvc to expedite the documents to the embassy, but not sure that will do any good. I guess its just another waiting game again......Thanks again for ur answer to my post! :-)

So here's the situation my husband and I filed for a K3 visa and it got approved and he interviewed on the I129 in April of 2009. We were only notifed of the interview date 20 days prior to the interview so he was unable to go back for his second appt to finish his medical so because of that we were put in Administrative Processing. The case was just sitting there for months and nothing was being done (or so it seemed to me). We decided to go ahead and pay the fee and file the I130 with the NVC since we were waiting anyway. The NVC has finished the I130 as of November 24 and we just got an appointment for an interiview scheduled in January. However, since that happened the embassy did a home visit for the I129 and just called my husband this morning to come into the embassy much sooner for an interview. He did explain to them that he has an interview already scheduled in January, but the woman was insistant that he come in. I am just wondering if anything like this has happened to anyone else? Will the embassy realize he already has the I130 interview scheduled and let him interview for that? My husband is planning on bringing the letter we recieved from the NVC stating the I130 case is finished and the date of the interview for that case. I'm just so anxious and confused about what to do. I don't want it to get all screwed up?? Our goal is to obtain the IR1 so he doesn't have to apply for adjustment of status and pay an additional 1000.00 once he gets here since we already paid the fees with the NVC. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

Don't know if this will be a problem at his medical, but depressed or not...it's bound to raise eyebrows when someone carves words into their flesh. There are many ways to show someone how you feel without mutilating yourself, and I wonder if it will make the medical officers worry that he is currently or has a history of mental illness. Is this any kind of red flag to you?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresHow to track your case after being sent by the NVC to the embassy

I am wondering how to track my k-1 fiancee case after being sent by the NVC, its been 2 weeks after the NVC informed me that my case has been forwarded to the consulate, the NVC operator told me that it was sent on the 7th JAN 2010, when i emailed the consulate, they informed me that they only received a wire copy and are waiting for the hard copy!!!!

I am wondering how long does it take for k-1 case to be sent to the consulate, especially that the NVC sends the packages through DHL service which usually delivers in 2 to 3 business days!!

I would like to know if anyone has ever experienced that ?

I will be pleased to hear from you guys.


we experienced the same thing with this consulate. our file left NVC on 11/12, but an email from the consulate told us pretty much the same thing that you were told: they had only received the wire copy, waiting for the hard copy. Salim called the consulate several times over the next couple of weeks, and finally on 12/2 he was told that they had the file, and was given his interview date over the phone. (Our interview is next Thurs, 1/28, which also happens to be his birthday!) 2 days later, on 12/4, he received packet 3 in the mail with all the instructions. so the time frame you are describing mirrors ours very closely, and I would say that you should hear something VERY soon. good luck with your journey, I know how hard it is to be patient with this process, and especially with this particular consulate!

Also had one more very important question, Its about the interviews and this is where im confused. My dad is retired army and met my mom in italy and he told me they both had to go through an interview but my fiancee tells me only she has to go through one. Can someone tell me which is correct? and also if I do have to do one can I do it in Lima Peru with her? if so that would be perfect because I would love to bring her back to the states, would be a lot of fun.

Also had another question, My fiancee was working on getting a work visa before us decinding to start the K-1, she was denied because the officer issuing the visas told her she was in the US too much and should stay in Peru for a while, This was about 4 months ago. will this effect our chances of success?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK-1 Visa for my fiance from Peru.
Hello everyone,

My name is Francesco and yes I am a us citizen. I fell in love with a beautiful girl from Peru, I met her back in 2000, she was in Maine on a work visa and we kept in touch with emails. Back in 2004 we decided to date and in January of 2005 I went to Peru and had the best time in my life. I love Peru I had so much fun with my Fiance and seeing the sights. Later in 2005 She got a visa to work in Vermont for over a year. In 2006 (October) I asked her to marry me and she said yes. It is now 2007 and were ready to do the k-1 Visa. I was just wondering what the chances are of her getting approved, can it be 100% if we don't make any mistakes? and I keep hearing about port of entry, can they deny her at POE even if shes been approved in Lima? I was also considering an attorney I would like any thoughts on that. I figure if I get one I wont mess anything up. anyway were just starting and I know its going to be a long road I just want to make less stress as possible for both of us. any input for a newbie would be most welcome.


Sincerely,


Francesco.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNOA1 n 2 and how they effect me.
Thank you all very much, I can't tell you how much you are helping us. I didn't even know about having her certificate translated. I will also need mine translated since I was born in Poggimarino. Thanks for the info guys.

Do I have to send me birth certificate? can I send my citizenship instead? I believe the guide said birth certificate, citizenship or passport. I might of read that wrong.
The reason im asking is because when my parents lost thier home to a house fire last year I lost my birth certificate. also lost my citizen ship but I was issued a new one last month after almost 3 months processing. The officer that was reissuing my citizenship told me that there is a chance i wont get it.. so yeah that was interesting.

Quick question about the police certificates.

My fiancee has been to the US a few times on H2B, Student, J1 visa. She has been in three places, Maine,Vermont,NH, Does she need certificates from all three? I read they only need them if they have lived in the locations for more then 6 months. Is this correct? if it is the only places she has been in for more then 6 months was in Vermont on her J1 visa.


Thanks

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCanadian Police Certificate
This is an update for people who were interested in getting a Canadian police certificate from outside the country. I am not saying this will work for everyone. My husband lived in Canada for 2 years. He is now in Brazil, immigrating to the US. We went through COmmissionaires to get a name-based certificate. we submitted this and were initially told it was not acceptable. I sent letters to NVC indicating that this was a name-based certificate based on CPIC search by RCMP and was identical to that we would would get if we were "present" in Canada. I also contacted a state congressperson who inquired for us as well. While her office did not get any additional information, 2 weeks later we have received notification that Gustavo is scheduled for an interview. The letter that was sent from NVC says the police certificate was accepted. What ever the reason, I am grateful and can't wait for this process to be over so our life together can begin.

When you file your petitions your documents are put into a file with an attached bar code. Everywhere your file goes the bar code is scanned and this shows up as a touch on your portfolio. They scan the bar code to keep track of where your file is at all times. A touch could be them filing your file in a stack of folders awaiting adjudication or someone picking up your file to process it. Most files are touched many times before approval. Since you just filed the touch that you got was maybe them putting your info into a folder and them filing it in the waiting piles. Any other questions just let me know.... good luck.

Also try candlefor lovr.com which is a site for American Chinese relationships with information that is specific for China. I come to both sites and have received valuable information on the process from both sites. We received our visa March 20th after only 152 days.

Hi Dan
A good place for info on Guangzhoc and the visa process for China is Candleforlove.com. Everyone at that site is in Chinese-American or Asian relationships and has some great info. Me and my wife were very lucky and we have one of the quickest timelines that they have seen. I was very lucky and everything seemed to fall into place. I also grew up in Rochester and Webster New York and moved to Maine in 1970. Good luck in your journey.

Jim :D
