IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresUPGRADING 1-130 (petition of a spouse by Permanent resident) after US Naturalization...questions.

unsure.gif Hello Everyone!

So this is our case : My husband filed I-130 as a Permanent Residence for me last June 2008, we received NOA for it that they received our documents and the receipt notice..(CA processing center). My husband will soon take his oath to be US citizen this Feb. 26, we will then UPGRADE my papers as soon as he gets his Certificate of Naturalization, my question is: Does this process will then be more faster? and does those times we applied for I-130 last year is counted for it to be approve? how long does it takes? any ideas is very much appreciated, and anybody here has the same situation with us? thanks a lot and more goodluck!


hii candy

i did same for my wife in india. I filed I-130 as PR and then I upgraded the petition. I think it usually takes 2 months to get approved and once its approved its upto you how fast you submit all the required documents. So, my advise is keep ready all the required documents birth certificate in english for you and your husband, marriage certificate, pcc, afidavit of support papers. pay the AOS and IV fee online that will save some time too. I hope this will help

Hi,

It happened to my cousin brother also. Post mail send just got delayed and he received the missing document later after sending the requested documents. So, just don't worry.. just call NVC and have them updated.

hey guru80, same thing happened to me. They send me a RFE checklist with DS230 on there right after I had send it. It takes a couple of days to put the DS230 packet in their system. They didn't have the DS230 when they send that checklist, so it asked for it. You shouldn't send it again. If you want to make sure they have the right stuff, just check their automated system for when it says received checklist info. Otherwise, call and ask them if they have received the DS230 you send on the 3rd.

thanks shimool n johndecka for that info
i was so nervous man i will give them a call tomm
to find out

hii guys, I recevied missing doucment list for my wife which says missing DS-230-I. the letter was generated on Feb 5th. But, I have already send the DS-230 form with the supporting documents and NVC received them on 3rd. I send them with the coversheet emaild to me after paying IV fee online on 14th Jan.

So, my question is what should I do now? should I send them DS-230 again or give them a call and find out what happen to the one I send? And is it ok
that I sended them before I received this coversheet and missing document list? Is it going to cause any delays?

Please help me

I will soon create my time line

My Wife spoke with M.D. Antani, and the US documents or Interview letter were not a problem. However after Jan 1st, the Local PCCs need to be signed by the Local Tax Collector, and then verified by the office in Gandhinagar. Now this is what is holding up the passport office clearance for me, anyone else have to go through this??


That's right. I have been waiting for PCC since 2 weeks. My wife had to go thorugh that process. The DSP signed and gave her pcc (on Feb 26) in a sealed envelop which had to be signed by local collector (March 2nd). He signed and gave her sealed envelop which was singed by the collector in Gandhinagar on same day (March 2nd) . Next day (march 3rd) she went to passport office showed her PCC, submitted fee and passport. They told her that thay will mail her passport and pcc within 3-4 days.

And I have read some where that NVC accepts copies of pcc. Is that true?
Cauz just called NVC to make sure and the lady said they need original pcc from local n passport office.
