Taxes? what Taxes. LoL As of now I was hoping that maybe she will be here before April 15th and we can do that tax thing together and not have to worry about the whole notary sending things back and forth deal.

We are going for a CR-1. I understand that this part takes about 2 months so I am hoping that maybe april 15 th isnt being un realistic. I went on line this week end filled out all the forms I think we need. ( I cant find a DS 3032 form on line that isnt expired can any one enlighten me on that? ) Every thing is ready so when she gets her packet we just exchange the forms and send them in or what ever they tell us to do. At this point I have no clue this is all new to me



Hi Conquest,

Call NVC to get your Case Number..(603) 334 0700...you have to have your Uscis Number..after they confirm you that they received your file and you got the new Case Number, tell your wife email the DS 3032, I didn't wait for receive it by mail, i emailed it....follow LingChe ShortCuts....you will find the sample of DS 3032, or if you want, email me and I will send you my own Form....Tell her go to get ALL THE CERTIFICATES :Policial , Judicial and Criminal...because you can save time if she gets them now and send them to you with the DS 230 Form ....

Good luck.

Hi there, congratulations for having your interview date and good luck on it. With your check list, it seems are ready for your interview. good.gif Am just curious, when did you know you case got approved at the USCIS? Coz in our case, I received a letter from them last Dec 12 stating that both my I-129 and I-130 have been approved on the same day, Dec. 11. Due to that, we decided to pursue the I-130 instead. Then on Jan 14, without receiving any notice from the USCIS that our case has been forwarded to NVC, I received an approval notice from the US Embassy for my K3 visa but none for the IR-1/ CR-1. I assumed they have submitted our case to NVC because the US Embassy already mailed me a letter saying our case has been approved and that I am good to go for the medical exam for a K3 visa. But since we are going for the IR-1, I am still waiting for that letter from the embassy with my appointment date. Oh by the way, we hired a lawyer in the US to handle our case but unfortunately I don't feel he is doing his job well in updating us. That is exactly why I'm here asking around so I would know what to ask/ demand from him, since our case is almost a year next month. Also, I've read somewhere here that we don't need to wait for the embassy to mail us the appointment date, we could check it thru the NVC website. Is that really possible? Unfortunately, I don't know what to do or where to start. Any advice from you or our fellow VJers will be greatly appreciated. Thank you and good luck to all of us.

Hi K-J,

if you are going to take ther CR1 path...forget about the K3 first...now you have to call NVC to know about your Case NUmber..001 603 334 0700....once you get the number email your DS 3032 (choise of agent)...read the LIng Che¿s Guide, it will help you a lot....there are more steps to follow and fees to pay....read the guide please...and you Don't need an attorney, we are doing it for ourselves, this step is fast, just be sure you have all the documentacion ready...

for the other VJ's...

DS156 (2 copies)
DS 156K
DS 157..


All they are not needed for CR1, because it is an Immigrant Visa...they are needed for K1 - K3 because they are NO-Immigrant Visa....I hope it helps you..

Good luck!!!!

I do have All paperwork ready to sent out. Barcoded cover sheet, I print out the received for AOS and IV fees from online payment. All the proof that I have are been print out.

My last question is can I send I-846, and DS-230 in the same package to USPS. I am planning to sent out 2-3 business days, not over night. Since I don't want to rush them to get RFE.


Yes, you can mail them together. We did as well. Sending them together tends to avoid the "False RFE" some filers receive when the I-864 is received prior to the DS-230. Good luck!



OBX,

The "Barcoded Cover sheet" is the sheet you print out showing PAID??....I am asking this because my husband told me it has not barcode..... blink.gif ...

Oh yes, you right...MMR is required for adults, DPT is not...here in Peru you can find just MR in private consultation... I dont know if hospital are giving it now, there are a lack of vaccines latelly. Conquest maybe your wife got it when hospitals were giving it for free 3 or 4 years ago...

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresmedical vaccinaitons what does one need?
Hi,

MMR is not required for adults, here in Peru we got MMR being a child, Hepatitis B and Tetanus you can get it in any hospital for free ..if your wife is less than 27 years old, she will need HUman Papiloma Virus ....not required for women older than 27...it is the expensive one, because you have to get in a private consultation...

About Varicella, if she got it being a child (almost all peruvians got it) she will show at least one scar, so no problem with this neither.

Tell your wife if she can get her Vaccinations Card or if she can talk with her doctor family to make a new one for her, she should do it....I will do that, just in case...
