IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresPls help. I need advice pls!!!!
Hi I'm Cristina from the Philippines. I have question anyone can answer. My concerned is I have 2 interview scheule. The october 18 and November 13, my mistakes because when I received an email from Nvc telling me that they received the docs for preprocessed I thought that's the time I should call the usem. On the email there's a link and I print it out . Saying preparation for interview . And there's note important call usem for registration of delivery address. So called when I talked to the agent her name is Stephanie she booked me for interview for October 18, 2013 come October 2 I received an email from Nvc telling my interview will be on November 13, 2013 so I called the usem again I asked them what schedule should I get. They just told me that it's up to me if I'll go for October 18 if ever I'll go for the interview and my papers is not yet there they will just send me home. I'm not sure if I'll go or just wait for November 13 but since me and my husband really miss each other were praying October 18 is lucky for us to have an interview. I would like to take chances. But guys do you think I'll go for the October 18? Does gonna affect my visa release? Pls advice Guys from your experience

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresPayment after visa issued

You mean $165. Yes yo can pay on the Elis site for USCIS. I believe you got the instrucions whe you got Visa. This fee is to produce your green card. No pay no green card is sent. You have a year to pay.

alright thanks for the info.. Also on my interview on 18 at usem do I need to prepare a sworn statement for my godfathers and godmothers that they witness our wedding and it is bonafide? Or pictures and western union receipt , wedding rings,wedding album, plane ticket That my husband used when he went here our plane ticket when we went to borracay and Palawan are enough?thanks again

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresJust recieved case complete but have a medical exam question

Hi,
 
So we finally recieved a case complete! However, a couple of weeks ago my husband found work at a restaurant but ended up having an accident due to the kitchen having wet floors with no protective rugs. The doctor said it's a lumbar strain but two weeks later and he still has problems standing for more than 10 minutes. We're going in for a consultation on Monday and he may need to go to a physical therapist for x-rays/therapy.
He can't currently work due to the pain but he says it's getting better. I read that the strains can take months to heal properly.
 
Will his back injury cause problems at the medical exam and with our approval? He also has minor scoliosis, could this have any effect on our case?
I thought the whole medical exam was just to check for transmitable deseases...please tell me if I'm wrong!
 
Thank you!







hi just want to give you answer yes it won't have any problem because I ask the dr that did my physical exam they are more conservative with issues in lungs problem. HIV too. If you will go to st. Luke's go there early morning . Like me I went there for 3:30am I got finish 3 pm. I did my medical for 1 day only. You just have to be there super early. Thanks

CanadaHPV vaccine requirement to adjust status status?
QUOTE (DonnaB @ Feb 11 2008, 02:26 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hi

I just had my medical today in London and heard about the HPV requirement for the first time. I am turning 26 March 8th so I will be in the age range required. My visa interview is March 12th so I had hoped the adjust my status around the end of May.

I know to have the full 3 doses of HPV vaccine it takes 6 months. Do I have to have had all 3 doses before I adjust? The nurse at the doctors surgery said if i had had the first one it shouldn't be a problem, but i don't think she really knew.

Please can someone tell me if I need all 3 before I adjust? And does it have to take 6 months to have all 3?

I am very worried this will put back everything and all of our plans.

Thanks for your help


For the vaccination records the HPV insn't necessary. I didn't get one for my AOS. Good day

In the appoitnment letter comes the things that you must bring to the interview. No photos are needed. You only need your passport, your appointment letter and your marriage certificate as a proof of name change (if you're woman). Good luck.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionDo you have to have an interview too?
QUOTE (Kathryn41 @ Apr 3 2008, 05:28 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Generally not. Some people do get called in for interviews if their evidence is not definitive enough to indicate a legitimate marriage, and some are called in for what are called 'statistical' interviews - that is they interview 5% (just an example) of the straight-forward cases and your file was one that was selected.


Oh, it's good know that. But still is the possibility unsure.gif

i just like to inquire if in case you get an rfe because of photos with nvc, 1.) is it better to wait for the letter of missing docs from nvc ( my inlaw called nvc and the operator said its the photos, and we received also an email from them about this case of missing rfe).
2.) what format should we follow to send the missing pics to expedite the delivery to them
3.) any other options/suggestions about this case.

thanks. any help is highly appreciated


The pics must be 2"x2" and I suggest you that its better if you wait for the RFE letter because you must return it with your answer. Good luck

Maybe the problem is that her resident card have a maiden name too, isn't it?

malego77FemaleMexico2007-08-10 21:33:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNOA1..maybe......?

So I just tried call number 2 for the day...this is what I was told this time....

"There is a huge backlog of applications that have not even been opened yet. USCIS is telling customers to expect to wait 90 days before inquiring about receipt numbers."

When I asked her how anyone else would have called just yesterday to obtain a receipt number, she told me the policy just went into affect TODAY. I can't believe this sh!t. This can't be real.

How is someone supposed to wait for 90 days just find out if their application was even RECEIVED! Assume someone's app didnt get received, they would have to wait 3 months just to find out that they their application NEVER moved ANYWHERE.

What can I do? Is there anyone I can beat up?


2-3 wk ago my boyfriend called to immigration for ask for the case number. He only had the mail receipt and he said it number to the person who attended him and the person checked the case. Next, my boyfriend ask him for the number case. My boyfriend explained him that he need this case number for check the advances on the case himself in the USCIS page. The person gave him the number, he had not any problem... He had to explain why he was calling. He said because he had not any news about the case and it had passed already a lot of time... Have you your receipt from the post office where you sent the package? You could try it one more time... Good luck

Cuando te llegó la notificación via e-mail fue por que te registraste en la pagina de USCIS o por tu mail que pusiste cuando enviaron la I-129F?

Que pasará?

hi guys! my fiance called USCIS last week and we got our case number. whistling.gif

and then, we checked it on-line and it says that they received our docs last June 5 though we sent it May 17 and according to USPS, uscis received it on May18.

So, we are just waiting for the hard copy of the NOA1. And then my fiance called uscis again and they said we just wait for 45 days. We really wonder why is it so long? coz i know for others, they their NOA1 just after 2-3 weeks. unsure.gif

does it mean we will have our NOA2 the longer time? We are so worried... blink.gif

But I believe.. patience is always a virtue. so, we just wait and see.. innocent.gif


It´s the same case with us. We filed on May 8 and no hard copy of the NOA1. Many people are in the same problem, I think it is due to problem with the sistem who print the NOAs... I hope it no cause delays in get our NOA2... Good luck

Its been a 122 and we still havent got our NOA2, the estimate on the visa journey timeline says we should be get it around the 13th october though seems to keep going up daily. I called the USCIS yesterday and they told me that my petition is on the shelf, but could be anywhere from a couple of days to 2-3 months. Could this be true? will i really have to another 2-3 months or is it just protocol they tell everyone?

What have other peoples experiencing when they call?

I want our NOA2 already

I think that is faster if you go to your nearest SS office. I applied for my SSN the same day that I arrived to US and I got the SSN on 10 days. The "mistake" that I did, was to apply as a maiden name, because I filed the AOS as a married name and I have to change my SSN name.
When we got married (dallas Tx) they didn't ask for my SSN for got a marriage license, we only brought our passport as a IDs. Good luck.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsK-1 vs K-3, which is best
I tramited a K1 visa because it is faster than K3, but in that time, I didn't know that I know now about restrictions to travel in K1 visa (especially). I think that you would have little troubles to show that you meet the past 2 years, it's the the "weak point" for chose a K1 visa. Mine took 8 months since we filed until I came to US, I've read that K3 takes 1 year in average.

A lot of people have been told this but it is not true.

Your petition goes to NVC, where a new case number is assigned, and then it is forwarded to the appropriate consulate.

CSC does take some time to transfer petitions though.


So where in the world is the petition when the USCIS gives u this answer?
Anyone pls?


Maybe they already sent the packet to your embassy. Only wait a little more and if it's true you'll receive a letter from NVC saying that they already sent the packet to your embassy. Good luck

Are you in K1 process?
Well, I was to. I never received nothing from Juarez in Mexico. They send the packet by ordinary mail. My fiance (now my husband) received the packet in USA and I went to the interview with that packet. Actually the packet hasn't arrived in Mexico yet, at least nobody has told me nothing to this respect. If I had been waiting for I will never being in USA hahaha!!. My recommendation is that if your fiance/ee in USA will receive the packet you can go with it to the interview. Good luck.
