IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion about I 130

Check the parents box, then if you never got a certificate of citizenship put N/A in the space for certificate number. You'll be providing a copy of your complete passport, including even the blank pages, as your evidence of US Citizenship.

Don't wait for the NVC to send you anything. You can download the forms from the web, fill them out, and send them to the NVC along with the required documentation.

call again in a few days and ask for your case number and IID #. Takes awhile for them to generate a case number.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresFeeling OVERWHELMED!

We just received our NOA2, only 64 days after receiving NOA1. I thought I had time to figure this whole process out and get everything in order; but now I'm feeling very overwhelmed and don't even know where to start.

I've read before to NOT wait for the next packet to come to us--that it may never come. Where do I get the forms that would be included in the packet if I don't wait for it to come? How do I know they are the right forms? When do I mail them? When I get a case number from NVC? I call for that, correct??

Wow. Someone :bonk: me!

Which country is your fiancee from? Because each country have various differences for getting the visa and you might be better assisted by posting in that forum.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresPort Of Entry

Our experience was this.

The officer will ask some general questions but not embassy type of questions. Mostly your name, birthday, what town you are going to, husband/fiancee name etc. This is just to ensure you and your paperwork match. Mostly the officer will type info into the PC and look over your papers to be sure all is correct. If there is an error it can be corrected there and not cause you grief later on when you apply for your green card, ROC etc.

You have already gone through extensive screening/interviews before your POE by the embassy. I doubt you will have any issues.

Thanks for sharing buddy. I will let my fiancee know

Ignore them. Go ahead and pay for the visa once you get a Manila case number and get the ball rolling. Anything to save time.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresWhat a Typical RFE look like

I would submit the original along with its translation again, just to be safe.

Keep copies of everything. If it doesn't say prepaid postage you have to pay the postage. Get first class USPS mail with tracking for around $2.35.

When responding to a Request for Evidence it is extremely important that you place the blue coversheet on the top of the response you send to them. The VSC receives thousands of pieces of correspondence each day, if the blue coversheet is not on the top of the response it will be placed in “general” correspondence and NOT sorted as a priority, which may delay your case.

Why is everyone thinking VSC is slower? To have your NoA2 and get it to NVC and out with in a week is...its pretty much the same as it was. CSC you get your NoA2 wait for them to have enough to send to NVC and then wait for 20-25 days is just crazy talk. I will still be content with VSC processing time with the NVC included pretty much evens out.

Good point - I never even considered that.

This whole process is frustrating and I miss my fiance every minute, we wait and wait not a slightly news, however, we should stay positive though, this Visa thing actually made me and him more appreciate our lives in the future. We are going to spend the rest of our lives together, so wait another 6 months, i think i can challenge that. Don't worry, be happy.

Good things are worth waiting for :thumbs:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAny February 2012 filers?

Well, I did my USCIS check and I noticed the number directly before mine was approved on Friday, and there were a total 5 applications from 2/29 approved on 7/6 (out of the 62 still left to be approved). However, all the numbers that were approved were all over the place. I really can't figure out the system of how applications are processed. I know different adjudicators go at different speeds, but wouldn't it stand to reason that applications would be placed in a box by type then by sequential order of receipt? Or does that just make too much sense?

Nothing makes sense with this process :angry:
