IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril 2013 I-130 Filers

Finaallyyy, our case is approved.

 

On December 7, 2013, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN. Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283.

 

We got a notice of transfer on 26 dec and in a week hard copy that transferred to CSC, 

 

Good luck and God bless all.

You will probably get another email that says you have been transfered to "another USCIS office".  Then you will recieve a hard copy a few days later in the mail and it will tell you which service center you case went to.  It will also say that if you don't hear something in 60 days to call.  I'm assuming their goal is to have the transfers done within the 60 day time period.

 

this sucks, if they gonna take 60 days to transfer a case completely, when the hell they approve it.

lets hope for best. thanks. good luck to you too.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril 2013 I-130 Filers

It could take anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months.  It just depends.  Some people are getting approved quickly and others are waiting a month or more.  I was transfered Nov.14th. I've been waiting 19 days so far. Did you recieve your hard copy in the mail yet? Where were you transfered to? Also, could you please add your info to the april speadsheet if you haven't already done so.

 

 

thanks for info. no hard copy received, we just got an email that our case is transferred to our local office.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionK1 Interview and obtaining marriage certificates for previous marriages

I don't get it...does he have a copy of his divorce certificate? also why can't he obtain a copy of his marriage certificate? he should be able to to to the court house in his state a request a copy of this document....all he need to know is the year and date of the marriage and their information.....you wouldn't need the original document you just need a copy so if he obtain a copy he could fax it to you....if he cant get the copy of the marriage certificate just take the copy of the divorce decree with you and keep your fingers crossed that they will not ask you for the copy of the marriage certificate....I don't think they will deny you for that they might just give you a rfe...good luck

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionI-134 Tax transcripts from prior year due to college

Interview was today - I will post a more detailed review after I get to actually sit and speak with him tonight. <3

 

We were told all is well and we are approved, but we need a cosponsor (which we kind of expected). As soon as we submit the cosponsor information they will start processing to issue the visa.

 

 

Just for anyone in a similar situation:

 

I make well over the guidelines set forth per even the I-864p this year and had sufficient documentation to prove it. However, last year I was far below due to being a full time student who was taking a part-time unpaid internship AND maintaining employment. I did submit a letter of explanation along with a copy of my diploma and college transcripts as supporting evidence that my insufficient income for the year 2012 was due to being a college student. I started a job in my field in early 2013 as a result of obtaining a degree. - This did not matter. Current year income making and exceeding even the 125% income guidelines was not considered acceptable for the I-134 when LAST year's income was below guidelines.

 

We do have a cosponsor lined up but the information from the IRS and Vital Records has not come in yet.

 

I just wanted to share this information and our experience for anyone in a similar situation who may have had insufficient income for the prior year due to being in college or any other reason even if they meet guidelines for the current year.

 

Good luck and God bless to you all. smile.png

congrats and good luck

Good luck and I totally understand how you feel...I was feeling the same way especially as the day approached....I told myself that I would take a break from this website but honestly I just couldn't.

I really feel like watching other peoples post not only encouraged me but it also gave me fresh Ideas as to what to expect and made me some what optimistic as you can see more people have been approved than denied and that truly gave me hope. I hope it will do the same for you.

 

Anyway Good luck with everything and safe flight when the time comes

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsIs this normal? Question about post-interview approval

 

Extremehappiness,

 

I hope he gets through with the insurance company within the time frame he needs to use his visa. The insurance companies here can sometimes be very tardy and cause the process to drag out longer than it should. July to December is a long period to wait for an insurance issue to be resolved. I pray he doesn't have to wait into the new year, or he may have to leave and come back to Jamaica. Can't have the insurance company mess up your future because of their tardiness.

Thank you...I can see...it's almost as if they don't care....they are so slow...I just have to keep my fingers crossed...Thank you for your word of encouragement.


Extreme happinessFemaleJamaica2013-12-09 14:11:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsIs this normal? Question about post-interview approval

look at things this way the hardest part is over...your husband was approved and that will not change....you are at the point where you are positive that he will be with you soon...plus the greatest thing you had the opportunity of spending some quality time with him.....I can understand your frustration...look at me my fiance received his visa prior to thanksgiving as I had hoped but unfortunately I am still in the waiting process....Unfortunately someone had crashed my fiances' car and he has been dealing with this insurance issue since July...He can't  leave before this matter has been resolved because he has to take care of some things regarding the car before he leaves....KMT...SMH... I am some what OK though because I know that when this is all over he will be coming.

 

I can tolerate to wait for any other reason other than the interview process because hearing the words approved/denied is the most critical stage of the process/journey and you are past that so breathe...drink a glass of wine and just relax...I am hopeful he will get it before thursday....Did I say welcome back? did you bring me some of the beautiful sunshine or a little sand? lol

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsOMG CEAC Status Just Changed

This very second it just changed from Ready- since November 26th to Administrative Processing. Is this normal before it goes to issued? I've read here that people go from Ready to AP for like a day or so to Issued. I know it could also mean that I am in for a long haul but I'm just so relieved that it changed finally. It's at least m

seeing some movement on the site must make you feel much better.......mine went from being stuck on ready to AP to issued within a day or two so I think that is what is going on with yours....I hope you finally get it now because I can understand why you are so frustrated...you just want this thing to finally be over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

 

good luck :-)

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsCEAC Status Stuck On Ready After Approval

Well bethann sometimes they have an idea because the CO told my fiance he would have gotten his within 2 weeks and he definitely did.....as you saw on my time line...his interview was 11/14 approved....11/14 updated to ready...11/15 updated to ready again then nothing until 11/20 it updated to AP...I was worried at this point but 11/22 I checked it again and it was updated to issued....I really do not even remember if it went back to ready after it said AP.....all i know it was issued by the 22nd...the only thing is that after it says issued it took 2 dys for DHL to put in in their system...the only thing on your part is that after DHL pickup your husbands visa it has to come to negril.....but just kep on checking it and if it says issued by tomorrow then you should get it between friday and the following week tuesday....I am not sure just guessing here...but if you can stall for a bit it would be cheaper than for you to book another round trip flight to jamaica....tickets are expensive right now especially since it December...

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsGoing to visit my husband tomorrow & to file I-130 this week

Hi VJers,
 
Today is our 3-month wedding anniversary (yipee) and I will be travelling to the US tomorrow to spend two weeks with my husband...and yes, to finally get our I-130 application out. I've been on VJ since November 2013 and I must say that I have learnt a whole lot from reading posts in this forum
 
So, by the end of this week our Timeline will finally take on life (yeah) and I will begin to have first hand knowledge of the system and what to expect. I know that although I've been in the shadows and have gathered as much information on the starting process, I will be checking in with my VJers just to make sure that we have all that is required, before hubby actually sends off the package. We will be ensuring that our time together with friends and family are well documented for out case file.
 
Thank you guys for all the information you have provided on this site, to help make the process seamless for fellow members.







Wel safe flight and good luck on finally starting your paper work process....enjoy your trip

Mexico, Latin & South AmericaCOLOMBIANOS CON VISA K1 (CONTINUACION 6)

Hola niñas, acabo de caer en cuenta de que mi registro civil fue expedido mas de dos años después de mi nacimiento y en las instrucciones de la embajada dice esto:

 

"Los solicitante que presenten certificados expedidos dos años después de nacidos (incluyendo certificados de nacimientos corregidos) deben estar preparados para presentar documentación adicional acerca de su nacimiento, incluyendo certificado de bautismo, y o el certificado de nacimiento original."

 

Mi duda si a alguna de ustedes les ha tocado llevar certificado de bautismo y si con eso fue suficiente o que mas papeles llevaron, porque ahí hablan de documentación adicional y no sé que más me tocaría llevar.

 

Ah y otra pregunta, donde pide uno el certificado de bautismo, en la iglesia o que? tongue.png

Entonces ahora espero a que la embajada me mande un email confirmando y ya pido la cita, como acaban de decir, no?

Ufff que emocion y que nervios, se acerca el dia!!!! smile.png

 

Como ya sabes que la embajada tendrá tu caso pronto yo creo que puedes ir pidiendo la cita desde ya, no tienes que esperar el correo de ellos. Igual como te dije las citas están para por lo menos un mes después entonces no creo que haya problema si sacas la cita ya ;)
