CaribbeanI AM THE AGENT

Hello Everyone,

I am new here and what a process!!!! I am my husband's agent, and will receive all documents pertaining to our case. We just completed the DS230 and am waiting for the link to make payment. When I send off this form and all the supporting documents do I need his original signature on the DS230 and actual passport size pictures and original bc and marriage license?

I appreciate and await your replies..... :whistle:


These links will help you too, take a look and see what documents are aplicable in your case, they will need to be provided and mailed along with the DS-230 to NVC.

Yes the signature on the DS-230 Part1, must be original. Yes actual passport size pics. Original/certified copies of marriage license and birth certificate.

PS. DS-230 Part 2 must not be signed, completed - yes.

EVERYTHING CORRECT, BUT THE MARRIAGE LICENSE...IT NEEDS TO BE THE MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE, NOT LICENSE.

You'd better write the consulate and ask them about it, anyways, I have never heard about two police clearances, generally they will still accept that one at the time of the interview. The email is immigrationrio@state.gov

National Visa Center (Dept of State)Case Completed but issues on I-864
My best advice is to consult a good CPA or tax specialist in your area. You may need to file returns for those three years. At the interview proof of filing taxes was one of the major documents they asked for.

You received a false RFE from NVC, that happens...I myself got three false RFEs. Now related to the financial situation I would recommend you to talk to the experienced members cuz I am not sure about the answer. Just forget about the REFs...

Good luck!

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresMarrying a US Citizen while on Visitors Visa
I have read this recently:

http://www.visajourn...2-tourism-visa/

But it's very clear that all cases are different, the most important is NEVER LIE TO THE OFFICERS AT PORT OF ENTRY AND NEVER OVERSTAY YOUR TOURIST VISA!

BTW, the pictures came right after the G-325A forms, first my husband's G-325A, the ziplock bags with two pictures of him, later my G-325A, and after that my pictures in another ziplock bag.

Hi Heitor!!

The date is not necessary!!! When I took mine, I went to a shopping mall close to my house in one of those picture stores (where they print digital pictures) and told them I needed pictures for a visa to America! They already know what type is that, and if they don't, tell them it's 5x5cm size (inches are not very common in Brazil). Now if it's for a G-325A form, you will have to write your full name in the back of the photos, make sure you will write her name on her pictures too. I also put mine and my husband's pictures in a ziplock back, and wrote the full name on the outside part of each one's pictures (I wanted to make sure the pictures wouldn't get lost), the ziplock bags you can buy in most of the supermarkets too!!!

Good luck!!! Send me messages if you have other concerns!!!

CanadaTricky Vaccinations?

How has everyone handled getting all their vaccinations? I'm only missing about 6 for the visa (I realize they're not needed for the visa itself, but are required for AOS so might as well), according to my doctor after looking at my previous recorded vaccinations and telling him that I'd had chickenpox in the past, but two of them seem to be impossible to find - Influenza type B and rotavirus (both apparently childhood vaccinations). What happens if you're unable to find a clinic in your city that does these? While expensive, travel clinics seem to handle the rest. :wacko:

Hello! NVC website has the list of vaccinations required, but not all of them you'll have to take. Most of them are related to your age, so I recommend you to write the doctor you are planning to appoint your medical with and ask him/her or his/her secretary to find out about it. I was worried about it too because it will be me plus two kids having to go through the medical examintaion, so I was wondering how much that would cost :unsure: . The secretary of the doctor wrote me back listing the vaccines and the ages they are required, and when I realized, I will need just one and the kids will need two! :yes:

So maybe just look at the list of the panel physicians close to you and find out about it!! Good luck!!

CanadaLPR traveling to Canada by car, is necessary a visa?

As many times as I have driven across the border into Canada, no one has ever even asked if I had insurance, let alone if it was valid in Canada. If you're worried about getting turned away for that, I'd say it would be incredibly rare for that to happen, if at all. It might be written on the books somewhere, but I've never heard that come up with anyone.

And I can confirm that your green card and brasilian passport are all you need to get across the border and back again. We've done it many times.

Enjoy!

Thank you very much! :D

I found out with my husband that our car insurance will cover us anywhere, so if they ask it shouldn't be a problem, anyways it would be nice to run across the information.

Thanks again!

You should be fine.

Visitor Visa Exemptions

http://www.cic.gc.ca...visit/visas.asp
Many people do not require a visa to visit Canada. These include:
persons lawfully admitted to the United States for permanent residence who are in possession of their alien registration card (Green card) or can provide other evidence of permanent residence;

BTW, is that true that when you travel by car your insurance has to be valid in Canada too? Thanks.

Hi all!!!

It's been a month that I am living in the U.S. with my husband and I already got the Green Cards in the mail (mine and my children's). So my hubby and I were planning a car trip, and we considered Canada cuz from Mandan, ND (where we live) to Winnipeg it's around 6 hours by car, so the doubt came up: "Can I, a LPR enter Canada with my Green card and Brazilian passport? Or I will have to apply for a tourist visa to Canada?"

Thanks in advance! Good luck everybody that is waiting, hold on, it's totally worth it!!!

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussioni-751 March 2014 Filers UNITE !

Gervl, good luck with your RFE! 

 

I received a letter confirming the address change and the website was updated but no RFE yet. 

 

The only thing that comes to mind is sending as many months worth of the same evidence you have already provided showing a trail of you guys having the same address. 

 

We provided 24 months worth of bank statements (just the first page with the address), any bills showing our different addresses over the years, email confirmation from USPS showing confirmation of address forwarding service for both of us, letter from work showing each other as emergency contacts. 

 

I am hoping I sent enough at the beginning so that a new RFE is not needed.... fingers crossed (for both of us!!). 

 

I changed my address right after I had my biometrics, that was on April 17th and we moved on April 23rd. The next day I filled out change of address online at USCIS webiste. It didn't seem to be a problem for me. Good luck anyways!

Hey guys! Got approved! Didn't get any notifications, but decided to look up at the website this morning and there was the "Congratulations..." message. Just looked up few minutes ago again and it changed already, now it says "USPS reported they picked up your card this morning..." and they give me a tracking # and a link that if you click it shows up right away when it'll be delivered. I'll be getting it Saturday the 5th. This is a big relief and I wish all the best of luck to everybody else that has been waiting!

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussioni-751 March 2014 Filers UNITE !

Hi guys! Congrats to everybody that got approved! 

 

My husband got text updates on June 12th and when I went to check online, this is what I saw...

 

"Initial Review

On June 12, 2014, your Alien Registration Number was changed relating to your I130, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN. Please check our website at www.uscis.gov for further updates on your case. Please wait until the end of normal processing time before calling customer service at 1-800-375-5283 for live assistance.

During this step, USCIS initiates the background checks of the applicant/petitioner and identifies issues that may need to be addressed either during an interview or by asking the applicant/petitioner to submit additional information or documentation. USCIS reviews the applicant's/petitioner's criminal history, determines if there are national security concerns that need to be addressed, and reviews the application/petition for fraud indicators"

 

So obviously I understand the # changed, but why "relating to your I-130"? We petitioned for removal of conditions. Anybody knows what's going on?

 

Thank you very much!

Hi everybody! Just got biometrics appointment letter in the mail, 04/17/14 in Fargo, ND. Glad they have this office close because we originally thought we would have to go to Saint Paul, MN. I got mine and my kid's letters as well, with different times though, it works ok!

Congratulations Isis and Troy on getting your NOA today! You should update the time line with the actual date on your NOA and not the date you received it though!

 

Oh ok! I'm guessing it's the "receipt date" on the top of the page then? If so It'll be 03/21


There! ;)

Hi everybody! Updates, updates...

 

Just got my NOA in the mail. It's an extension letter for one year and it says I can work and travel. Curious thing though is that the "Verification of Inclusion of a Dependent" came along too for my two children, so I guess we're in the right track!

 

Good luck everybody!

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussioni-751 March 2014 Filers UNITE !

Hello,

Just wanted to follow up. Today I received a I-797 for my daughter in the mail. It was different than my wife's and it said," Verification of inclusion of a dependent in filing of form I-751". It was only a paragraph long and state that she was giving a one year extension and she could travel..blah,blah,blah. So I guess that's how it's done. A I-797 for the Principal(My wife) and then a verification of inclusion I-797 for the dependent.

Thanks for keeping us informed! I'll prepare for that!

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussioni-751 March 2014 Filers UNITE !

 

Hello,

Same thing happened to me. My wife is from Dominican republic and received her I-797 but my 9 year old step-daughter was not on it and did not receive one herself. So, im assuming this is normal, i've been seeing different responses to this all over the internet. Hopefully someone can confirm whether this is the norm or not.

Matt

 

Hi in the petition I also had my two children that came with me, so if I don't get a letter for them, what happens? Check was for a 760.00 payment (505+3 biometrics fee). I'm with California Service Center.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - May 2012
Hi Saylin!

Your march NVC thread helped me A LOT!!!

I was reading again everything and I saw about AOS bill, you say that it's 88,00 USD per case? What do you mean?

I'm going through the CR-1 process with two children (stepchildren of my husband - the petitoner) and he had to pay just one AOS bill for the three of us! I wonder if it changed now that the IV fees decreased the value...

Three barcoded coversheets were generated upon payment, and three AOS packages mailed, but just one fee satisfied the three cases.

BTW, I hope that the IV bills were 230,00 USD when my hubby paid them lol

Well, I hope that everyone can have their interview dates scheduled asap, this whole thing feels a lot better after that!!!

Good luck guys!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - March 2012

NOOOOO, you shouldn't have, they specifically say to NOT send it again. I was freaking out too, and got mine exactly one week later, well i didn't get it, my husband did, the petitioner does not get the email, the beneficiary does. the second email may confuse them, call and find out.


Well I assumed they had problems with mine, that's why I resend that, and to be honest I don't see how it could delay the process...my husband has been calling them everyday and he haven't been having a lot of luck with the atendants, they told him that till last friday the other child haven't been available in the system yet!!! THAT SUCKS!!! They are making a mess just because it is a family case, they should do just like USCIS, keep all petitions together when it comes to family processing. Now we will wait till all the IV bills are available in the payment portal to pay them together and send the DS-230 at the same time too. We will see what happens...

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - March 2012
Ok, it's been a week that I sent to NVC an electronic agent selection and still no answer! I sent three of them, one for me and two for each children, and I got the children's confirmation already, and for the last one I sent (the younger child) I already got the IV bill invoice a few minutes ago, so I just decided to resend mine again, let's pray it works this time!!!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - March 2012

I'm not too familiar with multi-person cases, but this is how I see it:

1. Each person gets their own case number
2. You then submit three separate IV packages (each their own bar-coded cover sheet, their own DS-230, their own birth certificates, their own pictures, etc, etc) all included in the same envelope to NVC


Ok, so what about the DS-230? They are minors, so I will have to sign part I for them?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - March 2012
Hello everybody!

I've got some questions, I looked up a lot for answers but couldn't find! I received my case number from NVC on friday, but it's not only me going through the immigration process, I do have two kids and for each one of them a I-130 was submitted and my husband received three NOA2 (mine and other 2 for each kid) at the same day. So my questions are:

1) Is it just one case # for the three of us?
2) What about IV package? Will it be three for each one too? I am aware the fees will have to be paid for each one, not sure about the rest...

Thank you in advance for your answers, thank you Saylin for the very helpful link!
ISIS AND TROYFemaleBrazil2012-03-12 11:22:00
PhilippinesChildren 5 years old? Need NBI or police clearance?
Could you explain better the situation so we can help you?

I don't think the kids need to changes names, if that is what you meant...just fill in the forms with the names they have on their birth certificates.

My husband filed on august 24 and received NOA1 on september 1, we had a "touch" on september 6, but anything till now...I am relly preparing to wait more than we have expected, so hopefully we can keep in touch! I think that maybe we could get our NOA2 whithin this month...I don't know. My husband also thinks that the holidays should speed up their work a little, but other people just think it will slow down. So let's just cross our fingers and pray that all the couples that have been missing their spouses very much can finally get NOA2 and have their cases moving faster!!! Good luck to all of us!!!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI feel like my husband is being fooled by uscis

USCIS will never fool anyone. I know we all have different situations but its not right to label them that word.
Just follow through and go with the flow and your papers will be approved.


I agree with you but it's kinda hard to not think like that when people have been calling to find out about the I-130 petitions and the only answer they come up with is "We are processing july 16 petitions" or "It should take us more 90 days to process your petition" while in their own website it's clear to everybody that the processing time for I-130 is 5 months, and they have been giving the july 16 answer for 2 or 3 months already...

I am actually going with the flow and being patient to wait, but I would never dare to judge someone with a sick child that needs health assistance in Brazil.
ISIS AND TROYFemaleBrazil2012-01-28 12:20:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI feel like my husband is being fooled by uscis
Yeah there's no doubt your case needs to be expedited, your daughter is very beautiful and she should be fine soon, and it should be in america as in Brazil even private health insurance is very bad. Let us know how it turned out, I have my fingers crossed for you and wish you and your family all the best!
ISIS AND TROYFemaleBrazil2012-01-28 10:13:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI feel like my husband is being fooled by uscis
Hopefully your case will be expedited, we that live in Brazil know how bad health assistance can be here, and there's no doubt your daughter will be better back at home with you and your husband close to her, everything should be alright, just wait till the time they asked you to and then if no answer comes up, just call back...I know it's hard, I understand it but then now that you have asked for expedite there's not much left you could do. I'll keep you in my prayers! :yes:
