Philippines	Mail drop	why for? the only time you need to send her docs is when about she have her interview as shes gonna need to have all the originals from what you sent to USCIS, plus a new i-134, new letter of intent to marry to be submitted in her interview incase the CO ask. and you can send all these thru fedEx as one time deal, you will be able to track it so it sure will be delivered. She needs a place for Fed Ex to deliver mail. Her apartment has no obvious address or mail security.	tubesman	Male	Philippines	2011-05-14 23:14:00
Philippines	Mail drop	OK, I want to start the K1 process. I need a location in Manila for the future wife to receive mail from the Government. It should be near Muntinlupa City. I was quoted 1500P a month paid for the year in advance and I think that is too much. Anyplace someone can recommend?	tubesman	Male	Philippines	2011-05-14 19:55:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	September 2014 Interviews	Yeah!!!   We have the same interview date and time =)    Just called NVC and YES the interview is scheduled for September 17th at 10:30AM. She told that email has not gone out yet. To all other Canadian VJers waiting -call NVC right away and all the best!!!       Hello all,   So I finally got my interview letter from NVC for Montreal on September 17.  I keep reading that I have to register to courier prior to my interview; however, my letter mentioned nothing about this.   What should I do? Will this info come in another letter from the Consulate?  Sorry if this was already asked before =)   Thanks!!!	Cunuck waiting	Male	Canada	2014-08-15 17:13:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Filers - August 2014	You didn't file tax return for 2012 and 2011, or you just choose not to include them because your recent tax is over the threshold?   Thanks.   Hey there,    We only  provided the following: 1) W2 2013 2) 1040 for 2013  3) recent paycheck stub   My spouse filed taxes for 2012 and 2011; however, since my spouse was working as an expat in the Caribbean, we decided just to move forward with income from 2013 in the US and it was fine.  The income was over the threshold.   Edited by Cunuck waiting, 04 August 2014 - 06:47 PM.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Expedite...APPROVED!!!	Congratulations. I received and expedite from USCIS but. Was told that it only covered the USCIS process and that I would have to request another expedite at the NVC stage of the process, so can you give us the details on how to request expedite from NVC? Email, letter, what? Thanks in advance.   I sent an email explaining why I needed an expedite, not a medical reason and provided proof as to why, and got approved. I'm still waiting for NVC to decide they want to touch my case and send it to DR. So frustrating!	Livelyjo	Female	Dominican Republic	2014-08-28 11:14:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Expedite...APPROVED!!!	CONGRATULATIONS!!! Mind sharing what's the reason for your expedite? I'm trying to file for an expedite for my twin brother for financial loss and humanitarian situation. How did you file for an expedite? How long for it to be granted or deny? NVM, lol did not realize your expedite is at NVC.   Hey,   Well my husband is Haitian and holds a Dominican visa and that is about to expire so i gave that as a reason and how we dont have a lot of money. Also, that my boss wont give me time off at my jobs peak season which is December. He wrote a letter for me, and I said that this separation is taking a toll on us both financially and emotionally and I didnt want to loose my job if I get an interview date for December (even though I know I can change the interview date, I rather not cause I miss him) I said that. It took them 2 weeks for an approval. MInd you, I didnt even have a case number. God is good!!!	Livelyjo	Female	Dominican Republic	2014-08-19 17:26:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Expedite...APPROVED!!!	So excited, my expedite request was approved last Friday. Just waiting for NVC to forward my case to the US embasy in Santo Domingo!!! Woohoo!!!!	Livelyjo	Female	Dominican Republic	2014-08-19 16:33:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Drama- Advise	You need to do what they've now told you -- send the documents ASAP and get the case moving.   I AM! I SENT MY AOS OVERNIGHT FOR MONDAY MORNING DELIVERY.   OMG! I totally hear you! I think that they have a picture of me on the wall so they can use it as target practice, lol. I call them almost everyday, and EVERYTIME I ended up with more questions than answers...   LOL Can they really do that? Sabotage your case because we call so much?   Can any tell me what the criteria was to request for your case to be expedited?   My husband is a Haitian citizen and is living in DR and his visa is about to expire. We have financial troubles and dont have money to apply for a new one. Takes too long and so much money.   Lots of people that I know who went thru expedite process, once the embassy approves the expedite, NVC close the case and ask the beneficiary to go with the required documents to the interview. NVC are notorious for giving conflicting answers. Supervisor Octavio is famous for been helpful, maybe you should call and request to speak with him AGAIN. Have you tried to contact your embassy so they can be aware of the situation? Am so sorry for what you are going thru.   YES!!!!! I know someone from my same embassy who didnt have to do all this and her case got sent out right away. I understand it varies by case but I wanna know why my case has to go through all that. What is so different about my case. They can't answer that and hang up on me when I question them. I emailed EVERYBODY and their mother about it. My embassy told me it was approved. Mario at NVC without me asking volunteer the info that my expedite was approved. So I dont know what's their deal. ~~moved to progress reports from process and procedures~~ They may be waiting for the embassy to also approve your expedite. Choose a supervisor and speak to only that one so that the information isn't so conflicting.   Good idea. I will do that. I sent my expedite a month ago and it was approved. the embassy in DR told me, I have an email confirming (I emailed them to ask if it was approved and they replied) and one of their reps told me I was expedited. They in fact confirm that I am expedited. If I wasn't then it is a cruel joke they are pulling.	Livelyjo	Female	Dominican Republic	2014-09-05 17:33:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	NVC Drama- Advise	Not sure if you have read my previous posts on how I was granted an expedite request on 8/15/14. I found out on Monday 8/18 because I was having trouble with the AOS payment. Mario answered my call (spanish side) and told me the great news about being expedited. He then told me not to make any payment nor send in the AOS docs because my case will be send out to the embassy in Dominican Republic. He told me to check at the end of the week to see if the case left. I called on Thursday. They said it was still awaiting "processing". I called all week that week, sometimes even twice a day. I keep getting, "you need to wait until they get to it and it gets processed, then it will be sent to the embassy." I keep asking how long is this process, what do you mean process it, didnt it get process it when a case number was assigned? The normal response is "no time frame" "it needs to be filed, you only received a case number, the case it self wasn't filed."   I'm sick and tired of no real response. I spoke to supervisor Octavio on Tuesday and he said he was emailing the dept who handles that. This morning I called to check on his follow up. Big lie! Spoke to Bruno and he said, Octavio only said that to calm me dow, he doesnt really follow up. GREAT! He told me that they are waiting for me to send in my documentation, so they can proceed. I protested, "but its an expedited case" He said that still, the embassy requires me to have all my docs in order to send my case out, that I can try emailing them and asking them to send my case to Dominican Rep that I will bring all my docs to the interview. Waaahhh?!?!?   I then called again spoke to Kyla. And she told me she didnt understand why I was told not to do anything when in fact my file says clearly that I need to send in all my paper work. I cried! I have had my AOS docs ready, was holding them because I was told to keep them. My friend, we requested expedite two weeks apart and she doesn't have to go through this. Her case was approved and shipped to the embassy.   I'm thinking, since I've called so much (spoke to Else twice in one day, she hung up on me) can they try to sabotage my case, "cause I seem annoying."   Who can I speak to about this? Any one higher than NVC? Im stressed out! Any help would be most welcomed! Thanks!	Livelyjo	Female	Dominican Republic	2014-09-05 16:15:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Expedite approved- NVC still has my case	So I found out my case was approved for expedite on Aug. 15th (I found out on Monday aug 18th) The issue or at least is very stressful to know that NVC is still holding onto my case "for processing" and cannot give me a time frame when it will leave their facilities. Has anyone experienced anything like this? How long do they take? I call everyday, same answer. Argh!   Help! Advise!	Livelyjo	Female	Dominican Republic	2014-08-28 11:50:00
