USCIS Service CentersNot able to check my case status :(

You dont have to worry. Had seen this happened to some and they all got the NOA 2 approved.

However, please talk to tier 2 to ensure it is just a computer issue, not to do any thing with the application.

United KingdomWhen to schedule the Medical

For us where my wife is from India, the medical can be done only after we receive and interview letter. We need to present that to the medical institution for the medical check up.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)civil documents

Hello,

You can fill in the ds-260 form and submit it. You wont be getting any additional mails or checklist for the ds-260 as far as I know.

The civil docs should be send to NVC once the ds-260 is submitted. In case if you haven't send the AOS docs, should have to do that also.

Just make sure to send all the docs in a timely manner since if affects the interview adte.

All the best!

 

Vinny

National Visa Center (Dept of State)IV documents

Dont worry. PCC is not mandatory at NVC stage if your consulate is Mumbai. But just make sure to bring it for the interview.

Also, if you look at http://www.passporti...ect/welcomeLink, you can submit an online application for PCC and I dont see any requirements for the interview Email in this.

 

All the best!

You can also request to expedite your case since it is behind the schedule, and I remember reading in VJ some other user doing the same.

Ask a USICS officer to expedite.

Anyway it looks like you are so close to an approval. 

Hope you will hear the good news soon.

If it is at your local office, try for an info pass. That way you can talk to the officer in person and probably he can work on your file.

Also have you received any transfer notice on your case?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsservice request done... feb filer 2013 help needed

I finally got my NOA2 on Jan 31.. after 1 WHOLE YEAR of waiting for it.  No kidding.  My NOA1 was Jan 31 2013, and NOA2 was Jan 31, 2014. 

 

I went through all the same ####### as you guys.  

 

What worked for me in the end was the congressman (we think!).  We first contacted the congressman's office at the beginning of November.  Because of Thanksgiving and then Christmas, no one was really too keen to try to do anything about our case.  

 

Well, I finally called them yet again on Wednesday this last week.  After finally explaining my whole story AGAIN, they seemed to actually clue in to how long it has been.  The liaison promised me she would contact the district manager from USCIS to inquire about our case.  Then on friday, my husband got a call from the Orlando field office because they had lost our marriage certificate and his birth certificate.  He hauled #### into the office with the documents and then the officer said he was approving our case.  A few hours later it showed up on the website (and that's the first time the website ever showed anything for us).

 

So, we think it was the call that the liaison made that did it.  Or it could have been the ombudsman, because we had a request in to their office but never heard anything back.  Or maybe it was the fact that we kept harassing everyone.  

 

But the moral of the story---service requests are pointless and do nothing.  You need to get congressman involved, ombudsman, and go do an infopass.  Sometimes those work.

 

Good luck!

 

Yes, please contact the congress man. This delay is not usual.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsFebruary 2013 I-130 Filers

Hello,

 

I hope most of the feb filers got their approval. And I believe others who haven't got the approval, they are really close,just in a matter of days.

 

I do have question, how many of the feb approvers have got their NVC case# so far? Is there any place we can find out this info?

 

Thanks

Thank God!

Mine also transferred to Nebraska.

But the web page says they are processing Oct 1 2012 cases...

Are they just bluffing or is it the actual status? Who knows.. :(

Hi,

 

I am also a Feb filer with priority date on 2/26.

I just called USCIS and they said, it is been touched 2 weeks back and waiting to get assigned to an officer. it haven't been transferred to local office yet. They said I can expect an approval by 1 st week of October.

God know how it is going to be.

 

Also, it looks like it takes about 3 months to get teh visa after NOA 2 approval. So hope to bring my wife here by the end of this year...

 

 

Vinny

Hello everybody,

 

I am also one of the chosen one for the destined endless wait.

 

My NOA 1 was on Feb 26, NBC. Still waiting on my NOA2.

 

Just checking how things are going with February 2013 filers.

 

Sadly, I am not able to see much approval for Feb filers so far.

 

Thanks

You likely won't get an rfe for that question. A lot of people get it wrong and a lot don't answer it (or answer it correctly.) I wouldn't worry about it.


Thanks a lot NikiR! I hope for the best!
Take care!

Hi,

I am Vinny and I am newbie here. I just got confirmation on the delivery of my I 130 for spousal CR1, but now I realized I left the notorious question 22 on i 130 blank!
I am not sure what will happen on this.. Will I get an RFE? In my case, my spouse is in India where we have two consulates issue CR1 visas.

What should I do to correct this data?

Thanks everybody for your help!

Thanks a lot VJ for all the valuable info..

Vinny

My I 130 was also transferred to NBC. I am not sure what caused it but it looks like sometime NBC processes really fast.
I hope for the best!

Check if you local embassy allows DCF (direct consulate filing). Normally DCF seems to be faster than normal route of going through USCIS

Vietnam4 months since app. went to consulate: worried?

 
Did the HCM consulate ever send you a packet 3  to fill out and return to them? 


What is packet 3? Does the consulate send to all case or just k-1 cases?

NVC will be much faster than USCIS!!

Good Luck!!

VietnamNew here and very confused!
TF, I am glad to hear that.

So did you ever find out why your friend's son didn't get married when he went to Vi?t Nam?

I was just wondering what is the age gap between you two?




HaleyDNot TellingVietnam2013-07-18 08:43:00
VietnamNew here and very confused!

 
Seriously how can you marry someone you have not even met. Even if the best intentions are there, online and reality are not always the same. Marrying in Vietnam culture is a lot different than in Western culture. What happened to your friend's son, happens many times here and is very common even amoung Vietnamese marrying another Vietnamese. The wedding gets called off at the last minute for many different reasons, mostly one side of the family disagrees about something, or the bride finds a richer man to marry. I'm not even joking. I've lived here for 4 years and have seen it all first hand.
 
Come here as planned and get to know her personally in person. Do some traveling together. Sure, a dam hoi is a good start and will help your guy's visa process if that is what you both wish to do after your meeting together, which hopefully it is and makes you guys even closer. However, meeting one time, getting engaged, and then applying for a K1 wont be the easiest road by any means. A dam hoi will help though for sure. Make sure to keep records records records of everything. Receipts, chats, photos, airline records etc......
 
I am not meaning to talk bad about Vietnamese women by any means by what I said above. I married a Vietnamese woman and am the happiest. She is a wonderful wife and mother to our son. Life is great. You just need to be open minded and not have a one track mind clouded by bad decisions and judgements because online everything si perfect. It is easy to be taken advantage of here. So keep that in mind, but try your best to cover all your bases and give it the best chance you can.
 
Good luck







TighField, I agree with Chris & Trinh. Any relationship is hard work, when you face someone everyday, there are ups and downs in one's life that the other needs to know how to listen and comfort in order for the relationship to last. Talking online everyday probably will only shows you one side of the person. But in order for you to truly knows the person and if that person will be a good wife a good mother you need to interact with her in person to see. So on your trip maybe for the first 2 weeks hang out with her and her family then 3rd do the Dam hoi if you really want to start the visa process.

Don't be offended from this next suggestion ok. I am just putting it out there since I don't know your relationship details. Is there any doubt that she wants to use you to get out of Vietnam? How long have you guys talked online? Vietnamese are fairly conservative so why did she suggest she wants to marry you first? And how come her mom doesn't mind if the wedding is in the US or in Vietnam? She doesn't want to see her daughter in a wedding dress? Those were just some red flags for me and it could be red flag later during the interview.

VietnamCase completed at NVC.. What next?
Yay just received our interview date!! August 13

We are so nervous now. So many things we still need to prepare and organize.


HaleyDNot TellingVietnam2013-07-19 19:53:00
VietnamCase completed at NVC.. What next?

I have K1 Visa and I just got my case # from NVC. I was under the impression I can go ahead and fill out the forms requested and they will contact my fiance for interview date and so forth.
Or do I just wait until they send him that information?
They verified our emails when I called to get the case number.
I saw others actually called NVC for interview date, so I'm not sure if I'm supposed to do that...
I still have to send my fiance an updated intent to marry letter and the i-134 forms and proof of income to go along with it.




Yea, I called them a few times since my case was completed but they say they won't know anything until they schedule for an interview. I am getting more nervous by the day. I didnt turn in any evidence when I turn in my I-130 form so I nope they will let me give all the evidence during the interview.

HaleyDNot TellingVietnam2013-07-17 17:46:00
VietnamCase completed at NVC.. What next?

I'm on the same boat as you are! Just wait and hope fully you receive a good news soon! I applied for my daughter's birth abroad certificate and they not even look into all the evidence or ask for DNA test. The only thing they look at is the flight ticket that show the time that I'm physically in Vietnam with my wife. 
 
Good Luck


Are you waiting for an interview date too? When was your case completed?

VietnamCase completed at NVC.. What next?
Hi everyone!

Our case for CR-1 was completed at NCV on July 2nd and we are waiting for an interview date. How long will it take before we received an interview date? I have read something about packet 3 and 4, what are they and will they sent via email or snail mail? When should I contact the NVC or the consulate in Vietnam if I haven't heard anything from them?

Background on our case

I met my husband while working in the same company in Japan (by the way I am also Viet). 1 month after we started dating my husband got transferred back to the factory in Vietnam and fortunately 2.5 months after that I also got transferred to the factory in Vietnam. While we were separated we texted and talked via Yahoo.

I visited him for Christmas, 2011 during my business trip there. Then at the end of January 2012 I officially moved to Ha noi to live. At that time we decided to move in together. At the end of May my husband proposed to me. Then a month later we found out that I was pregnant so we moved up the wedding for July. Filed the petition in September and I went back to the US in October awaiting my son's arrival.

When my sons was 2 months old I took him back to visit my husband.

So I would like to ask are there any red flag in our relationship that you guys can see? Since I never thought about marrying him and filling for the visa I didnt do a good job a keeping evidence. We have some photos but not a crazy amount.

Will the CO ask for. DNA test for my son and husband?

VietnamDNA Testing procedures at Ho Chi Minh consulate
Do they want the DNA test for every case? We are waiting for an interview date now. I am the petitioner and my husband and I have a son. Do you think they will request a DNA test for my son and husband?

Also, can the petitioner attends the interview too?
