IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCan we change consulate for IR-1 interview at the NVC stage?

yup , you can.

expect a bit of a lag though, up to 1 week, whilst it's at NVC.

Talk with a supervisor once the casefile is AT NVC.


:thumbs:

Darnell, should it be done before NVC Case# is generated? Or will they change the NVC Case# itself?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCashing Tax Return
Direct deposit is different from regular deposit.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCashing Tax Return

My question is when the government sends a check or deposits into my bank account how is this possible
when the Wife is in Georgia and she can't endorse the check.. Because I applied for her ITN number will they deposit into my bank account anyway..
I called my bank and they said deposit could be rejected because her name is not on my account.. My banker said wife had to be present to be put on bank account.

Just wondering how to proceed????????????


Direct Deposit of tax refund - no manual involvement!

I see we're n the same boat..timewise..my attorney the other day said we should get our NOA2 by around Sept 19th..I'm hoping by the time our interviews come around after NVC, Montreal wont be so slow. Right now, Montreal being slow doesn't factor into our timeline. The medical exam can be done in Toronto though?



I'm not sure how fast CSC is processing right now but two months for an NOA2 might be a bit optimistic but good luck!

Your medical can be done by any of the approved panel physicians in Canada, unfortunately there are only four (one in Vancouver, one in Toronto and two in Montreal).

Here is the link for the Toronto office. Toronto Panel Physician

I see from your timeline that your interview is about a week and a half away. IMO you can just update your husband's address at your interview. If there are any moves after that then you would file the I-865 and AR-11 as posted above. Good luck at your interview!

You DO NOT send both. Either tax transcripts (which include W2 or 1099 info), or actual returns with W2 or 1099. NOT BOTH

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresDo I need 2010 Tax Returns

The 2010 ones won't be required until 18 april & after. You already submitted the affidavit of support, so there is no reason 2 worry about this. You can send your wife your W-2s just in case they ask, but the affidavit of support was accepted w/ your 2009 tax return. Your wife just has to tell them that your return hasn't been filed yet.

Read through the guides in the following links. They will explain the NVC process. The key is to be proactive. Do not wait for NVC to mail you forms, once you receive your NOA2 call NVC and within a week or so you should have your case number and you will be on your way. Good luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDUTCH FIANCE.. Does he have to come in on a K1 visa?
trying to skirt the law so that you dont have to wait is not something that will go over well on this board... we all have had to or are waiting to be with our loved ones... somethings are just worth it

you have options...

you could go there and marry him and then do a DCF (http://www.dutchusa.com/site/ is a website that can help you immensely with that)... i dont know much about this path, but i am sure others here do...

you can file for a K1 while he is here on the VWP as desert_fox said... there is not much of a wait with the netherlands... this site has all the info that you will need, as well as members who have recently gone thru (like myself and Tobe) or are going thru it now

best of luck on your path... just be careful to keep everything legal... there are serious consequences from the government if they think someone is trying to defraud them... its just not worth the chance in my book

just my $0.02

Huh?

This is an English only board.



where does it say anything about this being an english only board? i cant find it... and frankly, this is a website about ppl from all over the world, not just english speaking countries... anyone can post their questions in any language they want (are able to speak)... if you dont speak that language, then just dont respond... there are plenty of others (for whatever language is needed) that can give assistance... there are certainly plenty of dutch/flemish

im amazed at the intolerance on this board... you would think that a website based on bringing together unions from different cultures would be a bit more accepting of diversity

ewok, if i am wrong, please correct me

Goeie avond. K wou graag wat informatie winnen betreffende een K1 interview die voor mij nu maandag doorgaat, 28 augustus, te Brussel. Kan er iemand mij helpen ? Thanks


Silvanski or RaspberrySwirl would probably be able to assist you, in flemish ;)

succes!!

oh, and here is a primarily dutch spoken thread:

http://www.visajourn...h...pic=176&hl=

English is pretty much the norm for most of the Forums, except for the Regional Forums, where one can find others from their respective countries...of which I'm sure you already know this tidbit of information. However, my personal thought on this....I do believe you could have handled this a little bit differently...with less hostility - of which is a form of intolerance too, btw.

Hope you find the information you seek Nicky. Best of luck with your journey. :)


yes, english is pretty much the norm... and it makes being understood by more folks easier... all i am saying is that for someone to post that vj is an "english only" board is not correct... and was asking for the official rule in reference... and if i am wrong, and it IS an english only board, then i will accept it and admit that i was wrong... pretty simple

as far as hostility (a state of deep-seated ill-will [syn: enmity, antagonism], violent action that is hostile and usually unprovoked [syn: aggression] )... i fail to see that in my first couple of posts... i did make an observation about a trend i see in this board, which is shared by others... its not dripping with hate... its not demanding that everyone stop being intolerant... its a simple observation that apparently bothered some folks... maybe its too close to the truth

Dfgrerr gjfd grertr kgriof!!!! Cfjkfr fdsk wosdjr!


(Hint....that's total jibberish, just as many foreign languages are to many US citizens. This is a board concerning visas to the US. As such, I would guess that at least 50% of the people here speak English only. I would further suggest that if any non-English-speaking people are on this board and intending to immigrate here, then they need to learn English if they intend to get a job, make friends, function in society, etc. Ergo, shouldn't English be the ONE thing everyone here has in common? Regional forums are a different matter. General topics though should be made in English so that everyone can read and understand the post.)



WOW!!!! thanks ewok!!!!!!!! i didnt know you changed your user name!!!! :blink:


from her other posts, it seems she can speak english... but even if she couldnt, she would have plenty of time to learn it when she arrives... she wasnt asking for language lessons... and if anyone couldnt tell that because it was in a different language, then they just shouldnt answer her



Oddly enough, others are allowed to reply too. Or did you really expect no one to reply until Ewok had done so, so as to not interrupt your (apparently) private conversation with him?

I didn't answer her, did I? I would have breezed right over this topic if I hadn't seen your "OMG u're all so rude and intolerant!!!!111" post. That's what made me respond. I suppose all of us in the US will be considered intolerant if we demand payment in American currency, rather than shiny shells from Elbonia, too, eh?


the answer that i would like to see is what the rules actually are regarding language... and you can give me opinion... so can each and every member of this site... but ewok can give me the official rule...

and why take my post so personally? there are others on this thread who have also responded to her who are not accepting of her use of language... my post addressed a general issue... it wasnt written to attack anyone or to try to antagonize anyone ( *coughs and sees the post in quotes)...



here is a response specifically for you:

belittle me with your twisting of my words to make them sound like a 12 yr old valley girl( "OMG u're all so rude and intolerant!!!!111" ) if you like... but take responsibility for yourself and your own actions... i didnt "make" you do anything... you chose to... and certainly, do not put words into my mouth (I suppose all of us in the US will be considered intolerant if we demand payment in American currency, rather than shiny shells from Elbonia, too, eh?)... of course once she is here she will need to adapt to much of our way of life, ie currency... and life will be undoubtedly easier for her to speak english... it is, however, not a requirement tho, as evidenced by MANY ppl living here who do not speak english... nevertheless, she is NOT in america now, nor are the servers for this board, if i remember correctly
