CanadaIR1 / CR1 - Montreal Timeline to Interview

Let us know if this helps with speeding up the process. My husband's uncle knows someone in Congress (I think thats what it is, I'm not up on my American political terms yet) and said he would contact him if it would help us speed things along.



Hi my husband is in contact with his congressman since end of sept, and they can't help speed up the process. He explain to him all our story and explain to him that I need a surgery, I'm waiting for 1 year and 1/2 in Montreal to have it. I also have to decline to job offer because I don't have any paper. So for us it didn't help at all. They only things they say it's I will have my interview soon.... If I look in the spreadsheet, there's only 4 couples in front of us waiting for interview...so I guess they are right...maybe soon...

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresDenied Entry, Will it Affect Future Application?
Hi, we had the same problem. My husband leave in Ct and I leave in Montreal. Last sept I've been denied to entry in US. Since then we got married in Montreal 2 months ago, we fill for CR1 and got a notice of action beginning of january. Since we got this paper, I went to visit my husband and didn't have any problem. I was afraid because when they denied to entry US, they took my picture and finger prints. But the border told me that with this notice and my wedding cerficate, it's fine.
Martine&DanaFemaleCanada2010-01-31 22:10:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresQuick Marriage in the United States
We try to get married in US, my now husband live in Ct. The goal was to get married on oct 10th 2009. The week before I went to the border, didn't say I'm going to get married, just go for a visit. The told me to go inside. So I went inside and they investigate, I had all the proof I was going to go back in Montreal, my lease, a letter from my job etc, etc.. But they denied me entering in US. They told me not to try to cross the border for at least the next 8 months because I will be definitly denied entering US. So we cancel our wedding, and had to plan again a wedding in Montreal for nov 28th 2009. Since then we apply for a visa, I got my notice of action and I try to go see my husband. The first time it went very well, the second not that well, they let me go in US, but it took almost 2 hours at the border, talking with the border patrol people, showing them proof I'm coming back in Montreal. So for me I don't think it's a good idea to get married in US if you don't have the right visa. But it's up to you, it's your decision, but I don't recommend to get married in US and apply after.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion about NOA2

We have a question. We are looking at the timeline for I-130 IRc1, we ask for similar timeline. On 20 similar timeline like us, only 5 didn't get any approuval. Most of the approuval we look are from peoples who files after us. Is it normal? I'm getting nervous because we didn't have any news yet and the peoples who files after us are already approuved. Should I be so worry? Is there anythings we can do? Thanks for your help.



Thanks alot, I will sit and take a deep breath and wait...Hoping we got approuved soon...

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresNew to VJ, Canadian seeking info...
Hi

Our story is not like your, but maybe you'll have an idea. Btw sorry, I'm french so my english writing is sometime bad...

My husband is from Connecticut, I'm from Montreal. We got married in Montreal nov 28th 2009. We filed for I-130 on dec 19th and got out NOA1 on dec 29th 2009, our NOA2 on may 4th 2010. Our files have been transfer to NVC and pay all fees and send all the paperworks they need and we are waiting for approuval. What I read for interview in Montreal it's between 3 to 5 months waiting. We expected at worst I'll be living with my husband in oct 2010. Hope it help for figure how long it take, but every case is different, it could be longer or could be shorter, just be patient. :whistle:

Martine and Dana :)

Mon certificat de naissance je lai longue version et il est deja traduit, je lavais envoyer avec la petition already :) et jai toujours loriginal de la traduction :) c un traducteur agreer de ville lasalle qui me la traduit pour 50 $ ouch !!! ca revient cher la feuille traduite lol ;) en ce qui concerne le certificat de la police jaimerais beaucoup que tu menvois linfo... ca maiderait beaucoup :) Pour les formulaires, peux tu me donner les no des forms, je vais pouvoir les regarder et commencer a acculer les infos :) je vais faire remplir le advifit of support a mon prochain voyage par Tyler et ses parents, et je vais receuillir ses infos quant a ses impots des 3 denieres annees, je crois, et 3 talons de paies aussi :) (quoique je devrais peut etre attendre pour les releves de paies quelques temps avant lentrevue, puisquil est encore a lecole et commence temps plein au mois de mai :) jessaie de calculer dans combien de temps je vais pouvoir enfin marrier mon homme et jai bon espoir que ce sera cet annee, mais jaime mieux ne pas trop me faire dattente, pour ne pas etre decue... je tembrasse ma belle, passe un bon weekend et encore un gros yeahhhhh !!!! nos petitions sont approuvees !!!!!

a plus

Mets-en qu'il était temps!! lol je suis super contente pour vous!!

Je vais commander mon certificat de la police lundi, j'ai de l'info pour toi là-dessus si tu veux.
As-tu ton certificat de naissance, longue version? Sinon, faut que tu le commandes au directeur de l'état civil (15 $ - moi il a pris 3 semaines à arriver). Faut que tu le traduise aussi. J'ai le numéro et le site web aussi.

Pour le médical, c'est mieux d'attendre d'avoir ta date d'entrevue parce que comme ça tu auras pas à le refaire pour ton AoS si tu l'as fait dans les 12 mois précédents.

... tu peux regarder les formulaires... il y a de l'info à retrouver comme toutes tes adresses, tes jobs, les dates où tu étais à telle et telle école, etc.

Laisse-moi savoir si tu veux plus d'info!

Im an august filler and didnt get any news yet ! Still waiting for Noa 2 !! hang in there, pretty sure something is going to happen quick !! smile.gif



QUOTE (kizza @ Sep 30 2009, 02:54 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Anybody else freaking out about how slow CSC is compared to VSC!?!

I just checked Igors List and about 13 VSC cases got approved just yesterday, whereas CSC seems to approve a couple of cases every 2-3 days!
what the .... is going on??? mad.gif
Looks like 2 thirds of July K1s are approved in VSC, and a bunch from August.
Dont get me wrong... Im happy for people getting approved so quickly but I wish there would be some movement at CSC.

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
