IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	July 2010 CR-1 filers	I got NOA1 on 9th July. I have not heard anything from USCIS yet and there has been no touch on my petition. I am waiting for NOA2. I saw someone has applied at the same time and has been approved. Is there anything I can do to get approved?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	July 2010 CR-1 filers	Got some good news, the wife is coming in December to spend Christmas with me...she will bring copies of bank statements lease agreement letter from employer and cell phone bills to prove she will be returning to Australia. but all this got me wondering since we didn't have to give her passport number how will the guy at the gate know she has a visa in process? should she just tell them of if it doesn't come up just keep quiet. she will have a return ticket for jan 10 also and will be using the VWP as she will only be staying 37 days...which is the longest we have actually been in physical presence of each other.....also she will have the tears ready just in-case they try and turn her back...lol Wow, that's great news, TheSahlis Bring all the ties back to Australia. As you said, just open the mouth if POE officer asks. Also, tell everything truthfully too. Good luck! Loto	LotofPatience	Male	India	2010-10-25 14:19:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	July 2010 CR-1 filers	Well Loto since you're so far ahead of all the July filers @ CSC I hope you're prepared to answer and influx of questions from all of us once we get our NOA2's! I guess you'll have at least 2 months to prepare. I am here, jmks, as always And this is my favorite thread too. I think I have mentioned it before. I will leave this thread after everybody in CSC got their NOA2 At least some time lost in CSC, can be caught up in NVC stage, by being proactive there. You have the choice of NVC Electronic Processing too. Darnell is the GURU of that. Loto	LotofPatience	Male	India	2010-10-23 21:21:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	July 2010 CR-1 filers	the or so part could be the problem. I wish I had a "lot of patience" USCIS is snail, NVC is Cheetah, but Columbian Consulate is snail again Apeters, I think you need a vacation with your beloved too Loto	LotofPatience	Male	India	2010-10-23 21:07:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	July 2010 CR-1 filers	Well, I donno how to react to the latest numbers on USCIS website. They slowed down tremendously in CSC All Other Pending || Awaiting customer action || Completions || Receipts || Month & Year 96002 || 5192 || 14181 || 18169 || Jan10 75792 || 11455 || 32821 || 20238 || Feb10 70038 || 12370 || 33875 || 30437 || Mar10 84267 || 8656 || 18419 || 29529 || Apr10 98434 || 6444 || 12136 || 23886 || May10 107612 || 6157 || 13799 || 22489 || Jun10 104614 || 8116 || 16277 || 15162 || Jul10 121376 || 5888 || 8443 || 21217 || Aug10 Tina, That's correct. In Aug 10, CSC slowed down the approvals, but remember that's why May and April filers' cried in the March filers' forum. We don't have data for Sep, Oct 10 approvals. Currently, they have approved May end filer as well and approving May filers. Other good news is I saw one guy (Andy H) who filed in Aug 10 with VSC got the approval.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	July 2010 CR-1 filers	Thanks Loto.My father in law is visiting me in Romania and we are gone true the country each day. This is nice because the time is going easy with him here. In December my beloved wife will visit me for few weeks . So this means that waiting is a little more easy for me now. Glad to see that you are almost gone with NVC. Cip. That's nice Cip. At least when she visits in December, you won't feel that the wait is such longer Loto	LotofPatience	Male	India	2010-10-23 12:30:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	July 2010 CR-1 filers	Thanks Loto, you are like our superman Seems we are ready to NVC now... damn uscis Timol, there is a guide for NVC to interview overview. Gather all required docs in advance to recoup the time lost in the USCIS, at least in NVC stage. Loto	LotofPatience	Male	India	2010-10-21 19:21:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	July 2010 CR-1 filers	I have a question... we are slow getting ready to NVC stage... So after NVC generated number and got our e-mails should we wait some request from NVC about DS-3032 or just send it right away? and how we will know that they accept it? Timol, After both email ids registration with NVC, the beneficiary can email DS-3032 right away. If IV fee invoice is generated, DS-3032 is accepted. Loto	LotofPatience	Male	India	2010-10-21 19:15:00

Now it looks like in WAC 10 9 0142632: WAC - CSC prefix 10 - fiscal year 2010 9 - some number 0142632 - sequence# of this fiscal year (This sequence is the mix of all petitions such as I-130, I-485, I-131, I-765, TPS etc.) Loto Nothing new, waiting... was glad to see that somebody from may 28th got approval Yes, CSC is wrapping May filers. Based on this data, you guys are just another 2 months away. Wish it should be 1 month away! Loto	LotofPatience	Male	India	2010-10-20 21:46:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	July 2010 CR-1 filers	Hopefully, before end of this week IV fee can be paid and express mail both IV and AOS package to NVC. Then both package review and case completion in another 2 to 3 weeks time. Loto Update - IV fee also paid off tonight. Now waiting for both fee PAID status to print out the barcoded cover sheet to express mail both packages. I hope this timeline would be useful to you in the near future.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	July 2010 CR-1 filers	Sweet Loto...so how much longer you think it'll take till you're done with NVC? Hopefully, before end of this week IV fee can be paid and express mail both IV and AOS package to NVC. Then both package review and case completion in another 2 to 3 weeks time.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	July 2010 CR-1 filers	Guys, i have a question: when you pay $404.00 Immigrant Visa Processing Fee, will you also have to pay another fee when they issue you a visa at US consulate in your country during the inerview? @skynaut, If you pay $404 IV fee, then there is no other fee in the Consulate. Medical will cost some. And some countries have an agent to return the passport, so their minor charges too. @All, CRN, Sahlis, skynaut, Cip and others, the wait is no too long. If CSC reaches by Nov/Dec for July filers' approval, then add another 3 to 4 months to complete NVC and Consulate interview process. Some Consulates will get faster interview too, some are slower. NVC used to take 1 month in the past, but now I see 1.5 to 2 months for Case completion. Probably, when you enter, NVC should be faster and some time in I-130 stage can catch up!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	July 2010 CR-1 filers	It was good, Loto! Thanks How was yours? skynaut, Mine was just a regular weekend. It is getting little colder in this area.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	July 2010 CR-1 filers	Hi Loto. Congratulations for finally having the Noa2. I've been busy gathering my other documents for NVC process and with hubby's visit too. He is here in Philippines until November.

Thanks BB And good luck to the expedite and soonish approval too Loto	LotofPatience	Male	India	2010-10-15 11:35:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	July 2010 CR-1 filers	Hello to all. I've recently joined and have been reading through the posts. There's great information here! Wish I had known about this site before hiring an attorney to take care of the paperwork. I'm getting concerned and anxious as I want the process to go quicker so I can have my wife by my side. I filed with VSC; my NOA1 date is Aug 1 (Priority date = July 27). Based on Loto's timeline and other's experiences, I would've expected to receive NOA2 by now. The latest touch was on Oct. 3, but nothing since then. Any suggestions? Do you think something is wrong? Thanks. You should hear soon. nayoub66 in VSC is also waiting for NOA2. Loto	LotofPatience	Male	India	2010-10-14 19:09:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	July 2010 CR-1 filers	@Master Loto : Yep, I think my wife sent only the copies of the Original Documents to USCIS. She has the originals with her for the NVC phase. Hopefully no RFE till then!! Regards, Benoy Then no problem, Benoy. Loto	LotofPatience	Male	India	2010-10-13 11:13:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	July 2010 CR-1 filers	Oh guys, you are nuts CSC will be cheering you up in another 2 months time. Don't worry! Loto	LotofPatience	Male	India	2010-10-12 20:53:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	July 2010 CR-1 filers	Today I spent $15.90 for express mail to fix NVC error which is greater than the current highest bid Loto	LotofPatience	Male	India	2010-10-12 16:12:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	July 2010 CR-1 filers	@skynaut, another good pic @Tina, it should be fine. If you have submitted original of them to USCIS, do you have another original for NVC and interview stage? USCIS is unlikely to forward those originals to NVC. Loto	LotofPatience	Male	India	2010-10-12 09:42:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	July 2010 CR-1 filers	hehehe you think so?? I think probably 2 more months to go... Can't smell my NOA2 yet... Let me talk to the USCIS adjudicator now. (Just kidding) Loto	LotofPatience	Male	India	2010-10-11 09:38:00
