IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Pictures rejected	We scanned all of the photos we wanted to send and color printed them on standard 8.5" x 11" paper. We also made a single sheet collage of ourselves and our son from his birth up to the time of sending for ROC. We sent the color printer copies with lables as to when and where the pictures were taken. If they wanted the originials at the interview then we would bring them.   Originals were not needed as we were approved without an interview.   Hope this helps.   J&L Edited by John+Lourdelie, 18 March 2014 - 04:44 PM.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Proof of relationship chat logs question	I hope that would be enough too but I see you are still in the early stages so you might want to consider some written correspondance too such as email and letters just to be safe in my opinion (if that counts ) Not to worry there. Plenty of letters and emails going back and forth.	John+Lourdelie	Male	Philippines	2010-08-09 13:11:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Proof of relationship chat logs question	All of our chats have been video chats so the text portions only contain text from when something is not understood because of accents, noise and such. A log of our actual chats would not make sense to anyone. Maybe not even us. I plan to include a log of the times we chatted which shows dates, times and length of chats. I hope that will be good enough for the powers that be.	John+Lourdelie	Male	Philippines	2010-08-08 12:15:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	What is the expected wait time for a NOA1?	Yes, you have to send with your filing. Sorry, now you have to wait. Don't worry though. It won't take long for you to get your NOA1. John	John+Lourdelie	Male	Philippines	2010-10-29 20:37:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	What is the expected wait time for a NOA1?	Typical is 7-10 days by US Mail. Did you file a G-1145 E-notification form with the I-130? If so you would have gotten your USCIS file number and could look up your status on the USCIS website. If you did not file a G-1145 you have to wait till you get your NOA1 to get the number.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Is this good?	Everyone gets dumped in initial review. Nothing to get excited about. Now you have the long wait till a decision is made and you get your NOA2. I-797 will be sent to whatever address you listed on the petition. Good luck on your journey.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Stress out on Black Friday and not from shopping	Hey, your files sitting in that mail room is what costs the $500+ in fees that you pay to the NVC.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Inconsistent use of beneficiary's middle name	If a document asks for a middle name you put it down. If it asks for a middle initial you put it down. It does not matter if you never use it. If you have one you put it down. Pretty simple. Never leave blank spaces if at all possible and never misrepresent the information that you provide. If there was no middle name you would enter NMN or NONE. John	John+Lourdelie	Male	Philippines	2010-11-30 14:05:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Paying for ALL of THIS??	Just like in every other walk of life, some people have more money than they know what to do with, others make enough to live comfortably, still others just make the cut and some require the assistance of a sponsor. Love strikes everywhere whether one can afford it or not. John	John+Lourdelie	Male	Philippines	2011-02-19 17:55:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	receipt number not found?	Generally it is in the system by the time you receive the I-797 (NOA). Since it was just a holiday weekend I would give it another day or two. John	John+Lourdelie	Male	Philippines	2011-02-22 18:14:00

For example Case #WAC00000001 just got their NOA2 Case #WAC00000002 should be next in line to be reviewed??? Maybe this way, we can at least know how many cases are before us.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	January Filers	I got touched today. Is it because I called the USCIS customer service line and that's why it shows a touch, or is it because those SOBs are finally accessing my file????? the suspense will kill me yet!!!!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	January Filers	Congrats to those of you who have received a NOA2 as well as a touch! Apparently I cannot log in to check my status because I exceeded the log in attempts blah blah blah! lol LOL, About how many attempts was that?? I usually get my 5 logins per day I dunno really, it was more like there was en error in recognizing my password and then I tried to log in 3 times and it locked me out. On average I usually check morning, afternoon, and night.	Dwarf_Ogress	Female	0	2007-04-10 20:53:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	January Filers	No touch yet Lucho! Checked twice today already:( No touch for me either. For as often as I'm checking this site and USCIS, y'all will be some of the first to know. What do you think, another week? 10 days? The waiting is killing me! I'm just picturing my paperwork gathering dust in that huge building from the photo from Karin und Otto... (sigh) Shoot, I feel like I am gathering dust! Hang in there!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	January Filers	I didnt receive any touches; Good luck everyone! So when you checked your status online there was no change in the date or do you mean the date changed to reflect your NOA2? You received an email right?	Dwarf_Ogress	Female	0	2007-04-06 16:00:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	January Filers	January Filer Hi Everyone, GREAT NEWS! NOA2 APPROVED I got the notice today by e-mail! I am estatic! The last processing action taken on your case Receipt Number: *************** Application Type: I129F , PETITION FOR FIANCE(E) Current Status: Approval notice sent. I filed in Texas and my packet was transferred to California. Waiting to hear from the other January 2007 Filers! The system does work. Yes! To err is human,but to really foul things up requires a computer Congrats! That should mean that I am merely a week away from my approval!	Dwarf_Ogress	Female	0	2007-04-06 15:55:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	January Filers	I sent my I29 on January 23 to the CSC. No word yet as to whether the packet was received. Lucho: About time Slacker! lol Hi futuremrs... what USPS,, can access to this website? You posted here that you checked your status and they received it already? You should have received a green half slip if you sent your package asking for delivery confirmation and signature. This piece of paper has your tracking number on it and if you go to the website www.usps.com and click on the link for tracking packages, and enter your package number and if it has been at least a day, you should have some information as to where it is at and at what time etc. You will get confirmation in the mail too. Hope that helps! Edited by FutureMrs, 05 April 2007 - 11:01 PM.	Dwarf_Ogress	Female	0	2007-04-05 23:00:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	January Filers	I too have started to gather the necessary items to mail to Marlon. I think we'll be seeing some NOA2 action within the next week. Good luck to all of us! The 4 of us with 1/29 should compare our WHOLE journey and note the country differences etc! If I read correctly, the instructions at http://www.visajourn...mp;page=k1guide titled "What to send to your fiance(e) once the I-129F is approved (Receive NOA2):" require only a COPY of the NOA2. This can be scanned and emailed when it arrives. Why wait to send the remainder of what the beneficiary will need? I'm sending the package next Monday. George You are quite right George but I have some extra items that I need to get before I can send Marlon anything as I need a co-sponsor. When I went to Jamaica to see Marlon last month, I already took him the original I29 packet that I had submitted.	Dwarf_Ogress	Female	0	2007-04-05 18:15:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	January Filers	I thought so Luis: Just go by the K1 Visa flowchart and gather everything like the employer letter, bank statements, I34 etc... I have to have a co-sponsor so I need to get all of his information too.. To all waiting NOA2, contact the IRS to get a tax transcript for 2003-2005, it takes about a week to get it in the mail. I am just trying to be ready when the time comes!	Dwarf_Ogress	Female	0	2007-04-05 18:13:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	January Filers	Man, I am soo tired of constantly re-checking my case status to see not even a touch! Yes I know January has started blah, blah, blah... I am happy for those who have received their NOA2s and/or on towards their final destinations! I guess I am just tires, senioritus, I am less than one month away from graduating from ASU. How do we get through this strenuous process???? I love my man and he is certainly worth it but I can't help feeling lonely from time to time and sneaking a glance at the hot new neighbor! lmao i just can't wait to hear some good news! GO GO GO for ALL January NOA2s!!!!! Thanks guys, I feel better after whining! lol Girlfriend.........what did I tell you about that? You will drive yourself crazy, you know. I know, you were so right! I envy you for your patience and wisdom. Did you ever go nuts?	Dwarf_Ogress	Female	0	2007-04-03 13:26:00
