IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - May 2013	we got approved/NOA2 on May 3rd.   after waiting for more than a month (and calling as often as we could), we still have not received our NVC case number. husband called USCIS etc, they said they lost our packet so now we have to scan and send the I797 notice so they could find it (somehow). We have all our docs ready to be submitted to NVC and was hoping to get an interview date in June/early July. Now, we dont know!   Anyone else in the same boat? Any idea what we can do to speed up the process? It's getting very frustrating especially when it's so near the end!   Appreciate the help, thanks! Edited by JP and Tee, 09 June 2013 - 02:26 AM.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - May 2013	Getting a case number in 2 weeks would be considered fast right now. Was your I-130 approved at a local office? Many approved there are waiting a month just for the case to be shipper out to NVC. Have you called USCIS to confirm the case has been sent out yet? If the case hasn't been sent out, there's no point calling NVC until they do.     Nothing to worry about. Case numbers take awhile to assign, even once the files have been received at NVC. Just keep calling once a day, it'll be assigned soon    Hi Saylin thanks for your reply. So you think itd be better to call USCIS first to see if they've sent it out? My husband's been calling the NVC office to ask, but to no avail. They said it should be there May 24th, but it was not. Appreciate the help, we're anxious coz I am 5 months pregnant and overseas!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - May 2013	Got the NOA2 in the mail. Husband called NVC helpline almost everyday. So far, they haven't got our case number so we're still waiting. We got approved on May 3. is it normal to wait this long? It's been almost 2 weeks and I am anxious!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - July 2013	hi everyone, thought i'd just drop a note and let you wonderful people know that my visa has been approved. I had my interview on Aug 1st, although not without some drama (AOS form was missing a page) but that all didn't matter since I got approved.   Picked up my passport on Aug 2nd, and leaving for the States tomorrow, Aug 6th. Very excited as I haven't seen my husband for about 3 months! Hopefully POE will be uneventful and we'll soon be reunited. He asked me if he should give me a hug or do a side-hug since my belly is so much bigger than when I left the US in May! I'm due the first week of Oct so we're going to have a lot to do before our firstborn gets here!   Thanks for your help, eveyone, and good luck to those still going through this journey. It's been a long wait (we applied Aug 18 2012) but it's so worth it!	JP and Tee	Female	Malaysia	2013-08-05 03:51:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - July 2013	Someone help me... So I got a checklist for my husband's IV packet and they are saying that the marraige certificate isn't the original, but the problem is that it is the original. I called nvc today and he said he'll have a supervisor look at it which will take 3 weeks. I'm scared that the supervisor will tell us the same thing in 3 weeks that it's not the original. So I'm thinking if they are really just asking for the nikah nama (which is the Islamic marraige certification). Anyone send their nikah Nama? And if that's not what they are looking for then how can we prove that the marraige certificate is original? It has translation seal and government seal and all of it. I still am going to send the nikah Nama tomorrow but I'm just wondering if that's what they want. Because if it's not then me and my husband need to figure something else out. Thanks a lot   We sent both our original (in Malay) and translated one as well. No checklist so far.	JP and Tee	Female	Malaysia	2013-07-16 20:18:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - July 2013	Goodness you guys will like Colorado Springs better for sure (winters aren't as long or as bad) but he is moving during the hottest time of the year! It's very dry in Colorado.  FYI.   If you look for housing off base I suggest Fountain over Colorado springs.  You'll find a large community of military (both AF and Army) there and it's a quick drive to the Springs.  We have friends there that work at Schriever (they're AF.)   We used to live on Gold Rush Dr, not too far from work and there's a shopping center right across the road I could just walk there	JP and Tee	Female	Malaysia	2013-07-07 12:13:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - July 2013	Yes, my husband is in the army. He is currently stationed in Fairbanks, Alaska. He is moving to Ft Carson in August. We were hoping to be together already but ...   JP and Tee I sent you PM     I replied	JP and Tee	Female	Malaysia	2013-07-07 08:19:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - July 2013	You're a bit different being from a military household.  The USA is always, and rightfully so, proud of their serving military and veterans.  My husband is a USAF veteran.   Looks the the other poster has a husband in the army.   Co Springs - He must be at Fort Carson.  I don't live too far.    We used to be based in Ft Carson. I miss COS. It's a beautiful place. Seeing the Royal Gorge burnt down after the fire was real sad, we visited the bridge a couple years ago	JP and Tee	Female	Malaysia	2013-07-06 21:27:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - July 2013	Pregnancy normally is not a reason to expedite.     Remember that after getting your visa you have 6 months from either the interview date or medical date (check with your consulate/embassy to see which it is and refer to your visa in your passport) to immigrate to the USA.  Having a baby in the USA is NOT cheap and medical plans rarely add women who are already pregnant.  (currently... that should be changing) Research your options!  I hope you all have healthy and happy children.   My husband was concerned about me delivering in Malaysia. I think the image he has of a Msian hospital is a small thatched roof little hut with a witch doctor ready to assist delivering the baby! Silly man. We actually have quite modern facilities here at our hospitals, and the cost would definitely be cheaper than in the US Edited by JP and Tee, 06 July 2013 - 07:29 PM.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - July 2013	Hi everybody, Just checking in. This is my first post. I've been in NVC since 13 April 2013, reading this treads since May. We already sent our documents, receive AOS Checklist 17 June, mailed the correct one 19 June. So we are waiting for Case complete. We request expedite but they didn't approve. I am pregnant. My due date is 28 September. If somebody has ideas on our case can write me, please, because we are on the edge, don't know what to do anymore and my due date is coming very soon. You can see our timeline for details.  Thanks!!!!   Our due date is not far from each other, I'm due 1st wk of Oct (could be closer tho!)   Is your husband military? Mine is, and he included a letter from his CO supporting his request for an expedite. I also included a letter from my doctor, as well as the letter we sent to the congressman and senator. I'm not sure how we got expedited, maybe the senator's office helped since the assistant did call and ask my husband for more info.   Before I left the US, we went to see our panel doctor so I'm already on their medical records etc, which means no problems when it comes to delivering in the US.   PM me if you'd like more details, I totally understand how you feel. Just thinking about delivering away from my husband is enough to stress me.	JP and Tee	Female	Malaysia	2013-07-06 19:20:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - July 2013	I'm glad you're almost done!   When is your due date?  When you book your flight make sure you know when the cut off date is for the airline to allow pregnant women to fly!  They have different rules per airline.    Thanks! I'm due first week of Oct, and my doctor will provide me with a doctor's note/cert saying I am fit to travel. I'd be in my 32nd week or so, and I've checked. So far most airlines still let 32 weeks pregnant ladies on the flight, provided there's a dr's note w the due date and all. I'm hoping that'd be the case when I fly home. Hopefully there won't be any problem at the interview/with our packet!	JP and Tee	Female	Malaysia	2013-07-06 10:06:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - July 2013	you don't count, lass.    pregnant women with expedites and NO NVC Scheduling simply don't count.       sorry..    -=-=-=--= I know yer ecstatic - I would be also, in the same scenario, but no, I'm asking about 'normal' scheduling bits - yer not 'normal' at all.        I know what you mean. Honestly I didn't think our request would be granted and was ready to forget about plans of going back to my husband at least for a few months, but hopefully there won't be any problems after this. We applied in Aug 2012 and I thought it'd be done by now...	JP and Tee	Female	Malaysia	2013-07-06 04:42:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - July 2013	HI everyone, Would like to share our experience, hopefully it'll be useful to others in the same predicament.   We requested an expedite due: - our file was lost between USCIS/NVC, which set us back a good one month (still better compared to others whom I've read experienced a wait time longer than ours) - i'm pregnant and will probably won't be able to fly if we wait out the normal processing time   Our request was granted and the file was sent to the US Embassy in KL on Friday. I tracked it on DHL using a tip shared by a VJ member and it was received by an embassy staff on Tuesday, July 2 2013.   At the same time, my husband sent an email to the embassy asking what we should do next. They replied and said they haven't received our file yet and to wait for further instructions.   I then contacted the panel clinic in Penang and asked if I could arrange for a medical exam. The doctor said they wouldn't do it unless I have an interview date and the letter as well and that it would take 4 days to have the results. I find that emailing get better results as my phone calls went unanswered. The doctor is rather nice, answered my emails and said I could arrange for an appointment as soon as I get my interview letter since they normally won't do one since the med exam results are only valid for 6 months.   On July 3, I emailed the embassy and asked for an expedite, since I'm hoping to get everything settled by the end of July so I can fly still.  I also asked for an electronic copy of the interview letter as I've read that some people never got the interview letter when it was sent out in the mail, so I requested for it to be sent both via email and normal post.   We didn't hear anything as July 4th was a day off, but on July 5th, I received an email from the US Embassy KL with: We have received your file but there is information or forms to confirm on completion of documents.  Please confirm as mentioned in the attachment.  Please provide your phone number too.   They sent me a checklist and asked me to send that as well as the Form DS230 WITHOUT ANY PHOTOCOPIES/ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS. So I filled up the forms and ticked all the boxes indicating we already have all the necessary documents, then rushed to the post office to mail them using fastest mail service available! I emailed the Embassy back, informing that I'd mailed them out and provided my phone number as well.   Around 430pm July 5 2013, I received a phone call from a lady working at the Consular Section, asking me if I have all the documents needed for the interview. I told her I have: - birth cert (petitioner and beneficiary) - marriage cert - passport bio page - police cert from Australia & Cert of Good Conduct from Malaysia - husband's divorce decree - evidence of support   She asked when i got my police certs and I said the Aussie one in Aug 2012, and Malaysian one in Sept 2012. She said that should be fine as they're valid for a year. I was told by another VJer (who got the info from the Min Of Foreign Affairs staff) that the Msian COGC is only valid for 3 months, which made me worried coz it took 2 months to get it!   Since I haven't had my med exam, getting a date next week is kind of pushing it. A friend suggested I do the interview first and send the med exam results later, but some of the documents are still with my husband and he's mailing it to me tomorrow so we're more comfortable with waiting for a later date. The lady told me she'd send me the interview letter once she receives my letter so I could get my med exam done.   She then asked what date I'd like for my interview and I said any date in July would be great since I'm planning to leave by the end of July (hopefully no complications!). She said they have no availability and that Aug 1st would be the best date, which is fine with me! Sure, I'd love to get a July date but it's definitely better than September!   So now, the only thing I need to do now is the medical exam then the interview. Some members suggested getting the vaccinations done before while you're waiting for your interview letter (and I was contemplating that as well), but later on glad I didn't as I found out I didn't need to do them all before my POE. I was also told by the panel doctor I wouldn't need to get any vaccinations since I'm pregnant. Some of them can be done in the US once you've arrived so I think that's what we're going to do (especially after the doctor confirmed and said I needn't any except the tetanus shot I got at the prenatal clinic a couple weeks ago).   So there you have it.   Thank you everyone at VJ for sharing your experiences. I hope my lengthy explanation has helped some!     Edited by JP and Tee, 05 July 2013 - 10:41 PM.	JP and Tee	Female	Malaysia	2013-07-05 22:37:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - July 2013	This might be a stupid question, but should we be calling the NVC or DOS to find out our case number and everything? We got the notice that our case was shipped out on the 25th from the NBC, so about when should we expect it to arrive? We've called the past two days and they said they haven't received the case yet.   You just have to keep calling USCIS til they say they have it. USCIS/NVC lost our file for over a month and seems the same thing happened to quite a few people! So keep calling and asking.	JP and Tee	Female	Malaysia	2013-07-02 11:22:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - July 2013	Have you called DOS to confirm the embassy has your package? Don't rely on the tracking trick here on VJ as it's not 100% guaranteed your case was in that package.   I checked CEAC site and it says case is "ready". I take it it means it's at the embassy already. What do you think?	JP and Tee	Female	Malaysia	2013-07-02 11:02:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - July 2013	Don't believe NVC 100% on what needs to be done as they're not dealing with your case after it's sent out. But, even if the package does need to be sent to the embassy, it doesn't matter who it's sent from. It'd actually make more sense coming from the beneficiary as the IV package is all about the beneficiary.   Again, my suggestion: wait until the embassy has received your case from NVC (call DOS to find this out), then once they do, contact the embassy on the next steps.   For expedites, it differs by consulate/embassy. Some want all packages and fees before an interview date is scheduled, while others will just say bring all missing packages to the interview.   Awesome! Thanks for this. I tracked the packet via DHL and it was received by the embassy at noon today. Will wait for the embassy to get back to us, but my husband will be mailing the IV packet to me so either way if the embassy wants it mailed to them, it'll be faster coming from me since I'm in the country.   Thanks Saylin for your help!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - July 2013	NVC told my husband he should send the IV packet to the embassy, since he paid IV fee but hadn't sent the packet yet. Will it be okay for me to send the packet from Malaysia? Or it has to come from my husband in the US? I'm a little hazy on what happens with the IV packet. It has to be reviewed by the embassy before they set an interview date?	JP and Tee	Female	Malaysia	2013-07-02 01:35:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - July 2013	Thanks, Saylin! My husband sent the AOS packet and just paid for IV fee. He however has not sentt he IV packet to NVC as he was waiting for the fee to go through. He was told to send the IV packet to the embassy directly. My question is: Would it help if he sends it to me first, then I send it to the embassy? I was thinking it could save some time (rather than waiting for him to send it later) as our packet is in Hong Kong and should arrive in a day or two from NVC. He emailed the embassy asking for info and all they told him was they had no details and to wait for their email. I don't know what to do. Should wait then overnight it to KL embassy/just mail to me so I can mail to embassy?	JP and Tee	Female	Malaysia	2013-07-01 19:46:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - July 2013	hi everyone!   My husband sent in an expedite request a couple weeks ago. He spoke to a few Tier 2 NVC IOs who said we have a strong case and our case would probably be granted an expedite. It never hurt to try so we decided we would. He included a letter from his commanding officer (CO) (he's military) and explained our reason for expedite (i'd be too pregnant to fly and we fear there'd be some complications with the baby since it's our first one.) We also included a doctor's note.   I've read on VJ that pregnancy is not considered reason enough to grant an expedite but we thought we'd just try since our packet got lost for about a month between USCIS-NVC   and that threw our timeline off.   My husband also reached out to his congressman and senator and was then contacted by the senator's assistant who asked for some info. I don't know if that helped but a few days ago, we were told our expedite request was granted!   Our packet is on its way to the KL Embassy, and hopefully we'd be able to get it expedited as well.   So if you feel you want to try and get your case expedited, send an email with supporting documents and wait. Maybe you'll get it, maybe you won't, but to me, it's important that we try because if not we'd still be asking if we could get it!   Looking forward to getting this whole immigration process done. not terribly impressed with the American bureaucracy at this point! I used to work with the government of my country, so I'm very well aware of how fast/slow the government can work!   Good luck to everyone, I understand how you feel especially since we applied in August 2012, and thought we'd be done by May! Pffft.	JP and Tee	Female	Malaysia	2013-07-01 11:07:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - June 2013	I recommend you guys to call NVC in the morning, they usually have two people frequently picking up the phone in the morning and both are nice. I rarely had any problem with them. Not to mention that the wait time is a lot less than evening time (I usually call around 7-8 EST time).   My husband usually would call NVC around that time. Unfortunately he ended up talking to a really rude lady this morning. But we got told our expedite request was granted, so it kinda lessened the sting (of having to deal with a rude person on the phone!).	JP and Tee	Female	Malaysia	2013-06-28 07:09:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - June 2013	wow, what's with today's NVC staff today? My husband called coz he tried to pay the IV fee today and it didn't work.

I was born in South Africa but I applied as a UK citizen! What does this mean for my application? I was living in the UK from my 16th birthday but I did go to boarding school for around 12 months in total over the next year and a half, do you think I need a police certificate 8-O I'm absolutely screwed if I do, they take about 6 months!!! I have a UK police certificate though!   Where did you go to boarding school? In the UK? From what I understand, they want the police cert from any country you lived in for more than 6 months after age 16 so if it's UK, then you should get it from there as well, i guess. I had to get one from Australia since I studied there for a few years and Malaysia since I live there too. I could be wrong. Anyone can confirm this?	JP and Tee	Female	Malaysia	2013-06-27 09:28:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - June 2013	Once you send the IV package, if everything is fine, then you should have a case complete early July. An interview for early July will be highly improbable for you. It'll most likely be August at this point.     Thanks Saylin! we're hoping it'd be early/mid next month (we also requested for an expedite but no status update on that one yet). A little worried about having the interview early Aug since i probably would be too pregnant to fly   am hoping for a smooth process afterwards.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - June 2013	Hi everyone. Our NOA2 was May 3rd but somehow our file got 'misplaced' so when we got to NVC, it was on June 11. Anywho, I emailed the DS3032, got accepted, got our case number and IIN. My husband has paid the AOS bill, got the packet reviewed and he paid the IV bill yesterday.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	I-130 MARCH 2013 FILERS!! NBC	I filed my 130 in U.S for my wife and son living abroad in march 12 and received my i797c on march 19. Its been almost 6 weeks since i last heard from them. Is this normal wait time or should i call them up? Also, does this make me a march or april filer? Thank you   If you do a Direct Consular Filing (you're filing from abroad), usually processing time is less. But if you go thru the normal filing (youre in the US filing for spouse abroad), then the wait time for NOA2 is usually around 5-6 months. Could be longer/shorter, depending on your luck. You should get NOA2 in Sept I'd think.   Filing in march makes you a March filer.   And med exam for CR1 will be done before the interview as the results have to be brought to the interview.

It depends on your luck really!   Just be patient and make sure you have all the necessary documents so when the time comes and you get your NOA2, you won't be wasting time trying to collect them and get your packet together.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	please , who knows what it means , help me	why we should do that again , its there problem , not our , if they want to denied it ,its ok , but with respect and without mistakes , i will attack them every where    The issue here is your previous petition was probably incomplete, thus the denial. If you refuse to refile/correct the mistakes made, then you won't get the visa. Simple as that.	JP and Tee	Female	Malaysia	2013-07-06 22:19:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Police reports? How recent do they need to be?	I read that it's better to get the background check/police cert before you start applying because they can take a while, especially if you need to get them from several countries. Better safe than sorry. Good luck! On another note, I need to get a police clearance cert from the Australian Federal Police. How soon should I do it? We plan to file after mid of this year.
