US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionMontreal - package?
I have a question. I just received the instruction package from NVC. Will this be the last package I receive before I get the package with the interview date? Is that the package the medical instructions are in? Also, in the "what happens next" part of the package, they want me to contact my husband to ensure the documents are completed and returned to the NVC as directed. He was directed to send them to Missouri, and not the NVC. Do they go to Missouri first and then forwarded to the NVC? Thanks!! :unsure:

I don't believe that you can have an extension for the I-751. If you and your spouse are still on good terms you could file together if you are still married. Or you will be put into deportation status after your card expires. I was told that if the divorce proceedings were not clomplete but started that you could explain this to the judge and at that time they might give you an extension. Good luck


Thank you for your answer. We can't file joint because I am moving out on Sunday and I'm sure that would look very suspicious to the USCIS. We will have filed by the time I have to appear before a judge so I will have the proof. I can't believe there is no other way that is unbelievable. I don't know what I am going to do if I get kicked out my whole life is here now I even signed a 1 year lease. Thanks again.

Even though u are seperated u are still classified as being married you just have to put different addresses. Consult with a Immigration attourney to see if this would be correct though.
I know exactly what you mean about you life now being here. I moved here on a K-1 from Canada also my family and children are still there and i do travel to see them one weekend a month. But when I left i left a career of 18 years, sold my home etc. It would be very hard to go back and start all over again, I know i wouldn't have a job like i did and would not be able to support myself or children there on a minimum wage job. I consider Ohio home now.

Good Luck and keep in touch


I just found out I can't do that because my intent is to get divorced. What are my chances of getting deported if I wait until they make me see a judge if I have more then enough proof I married in good faith and the ONLY reason the I-751 was not filed is because i don't have the divorce decree yet?

Thanks,
Jen

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionHow do I get an extention?
Hey Everyone,

I just recently found out that I can only file my I-751 after my divorce is final and I have the decree. Me and my husband didn't work out and are getting divorced we are still on good terms, just not right for eachother. My card expires on 06/17/2008 and if we start the paperwork for divorce right now it will take 5 to 9 months to get the decree(thanks alot Massachusetts) because this state is slow with these. What I need to know is if I can get an extension so that I can file when I do in fact have the divorce decree. I heard about a I-551 would that work in my situation? Any help would be much appreciated I'm pretty stuck here and my immigration lawyer is no help I will be firing him because I seem to know more then he does.

Thanks so much!
Jen

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionGetting divorced and I-751 expires 06/08 Please help
QUOTE (jsnearline @ Mar 27 2008, 09:52 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Unfortunately, you can't file for a waiver based I-751 until a divorce is finalized. If there's any chance you and your husband can work things out then the two of you could file the I-751 jointly.

If you're 100 percent sure you're getting divorced, then get one as soon as possible. The longer you wait the greater the risk you could wind up in removal proceedings for failing to file the I-751 in a timely manner.


OMG what can I do? Can I ask them for an extension? until I have the divorce decree?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI-864 Question
I couldn't edit my post so here goes again.

I have a question. My husband is the one sponsoring me and he is in the US military so the I864 was no problem for right now. He is getting out of the military the 27th of August of this year and we think that this is the approximate time that we will have our interview.When he gets out of the military, what do we do about the I864. He will most likely have another job lined up but may not have it quite yet. what should we do? and what will happen? Thanks!! :help:

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresInstruction package
I just spoke with my husband, and he did send to NVC. Only the payment was sent to Missouri. I'm glad about that. I was getting a bit worried.
How do you find out what's happening with your case without having to call all the time? I read alot about cases being "touched". How do you know when your case has been touched? Can it be emailed to me??

Thanks again. :)

I have a couple of questions. I just received the instruction package from NVC which includes the DS-230 and the barcode sheet. Will this be the last package I receive before I get the package with the interview date? Is the"interview date" package the one the medical instructions are in? Also, in the "what happens next" part of the package, they want me to contact my husband to ensure the documents are completed and returned to the NVC as directed. He was directed to send them to Missouri, and not the NVC. Do they go to Missouri first and then forwarded to the NVC? Thanks!! :unsure:

I am doing a CR1 so I don't need to call the Montreal Consulate. I have to send my documents to the NVC. As I understand it, the NVC gives me the interview date. I was told to send the originals but I know that with the K1 visa you send copies. My mom is doing the K1 and has her interview on the 21st. Good Luck to you :)

I was filling out the DS-230 fillable form when I noticed that on the IV Processing Fee Bill they mention that when I receive my DS-230 form, not to use the downloaded computer forms but return the original application. I'm just curious if anyone has sent the downloaded computer forms. Thanks!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresDS-230 part 2 and police certificate
Ok, I have more questions. I know that I have to complete both part 1 and 2 of the DS-230. Do I have to send both parts with my documents or do I just send part 1 and the supporting documents like it says on my barcode sheet and bring part 2 with me to the interview? Also, I got my police certificate in Montreal and it has a box on it that says "applicant signature" Do I also have to sign this now or just wait until the interview to sign it? I never saw it posted the you had to sign your police certificate. Thank you!!

You are right, MarilynP. NVC doesn't have a toll-free number. And as for the birth certificate, when i called NVC on the two different occasions, both people that answered my questions said that it was only me to send my birth certificate, and not my husband (USC). :)

For the 380.00 I went to the bank and just asked for a US money order. They are drawn on American banks. Before I left the tellers, I just made sure it was actually drawn on an American bank. As for the DS-230, it says to send the originals and that they will be given back to me at the interview. I called NVC the other day to see if I also needed my husbands birth certicate (USC) and the lady said only mine. I'm not too sure about that so I will call again tomorrow to see what someone else tells me.

Good Luck!

Well, I called NVC today, and the RFE was for the DS-230 part 2. My instructions make no mention of sending the part 2 and I did mention this to the guy that I spoke with. Supposedly, they send me the wrong forms. The forms they sent me were only for sending part 1 :( So to all doing the CR-1 through Montreal, send both forms :)

I called NVC yesterday to see where my application is at, and guess what? Supposedly, I have something missing in what I sent :( A letter was mailed out to me on Feb 15th, but I haven't received it yet. I can't imagine it being the DS230 part 2 when they instructed me to DS230 part one and the documents they asked for. StephieJoyce, maybe you should send both parts regardless of what they tell you to do. Will keep you posted!!

They sure know how to confuse people!!! I am applying in Canada and on my barcode instruction sheet, it says only the send DS230 part one and the documents asked for. Part one is the only one I sent. Sure hope I don't get a RFE for sending what they asked for. I'll just have to wait and see.

I called NVC a couple of weeks ago about another matter, and did also ask about the originals. The lady I spoke with did mention that I did need the originals. It also did mention to send the originals on the letter I got with the 230 form, so I did send the originals. I didn't want to take a chance.

Good Luck :)

btw You don't need to send the USC birth certificate.

Hi,

My case for Cr1 also got approved on March 7. I have yet to speak to a NVC officer and will try to talk on Monday or tuesday to find out. I wish that I get the interview for May end or early June lastest. It would be perfect for me.

Let me know if you get any news on 22 March and I will also let you know.

Kovil



I called on Monday and I don't have an interview in April :( The guy at NVC told me to call back on April 15th, so now I wait. Kovil, let me know what you find out. By the way, which consulate would you be going to??

Take care!!

Looks like Montreal is doing interviews approx. 2.5 months after case completion. So you can HOPEFULLY expect an interview around the end of May.
