IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresReturning to home country after visa
Once approved, there won't be any restrictions on his legal permanent resident (LPR) status. If he gets approval before your 2nd wedding anniversary, then his LPR status will be conditional. He will still enjoy all the rights and privileges of an LPR. The only difference would be, he will need to apply for removal of conditions before his 2-year green card expires.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresB1 Visa marriage and steps afterward
You have several options:

1) Get married, she stays and applies for AOS, EAD, AP. You won't have to spend extended time apart but your fiancee/spouse won't be able to go home and settle her affairs until her AP is approved. She also has to be ready in case she is asked to prove she did not have "immigration intent" when she came in on her B1 visa. Don't worry about the I-94 expiring as any overstay is usually overlooked for spouses of USCs who apply for AOS. Please note that if her "overstay" runs over 6 months before you are able to apply for AOS, then she should not apply for AP as she might trigger a ban when she tries to re-enter the USA.

2) Get married, she goes home and you file for K3 or CR1/CR2 visa. Doing it this way, your fiancee/spouse can go home and wrap up her affairs properly. You will have to spend time apart while the visa is being processed. She should leave before her I-94 expires.

3) Not get married, she goes home and file for K1. Same as number 2 but K1s are usually processed faster than K3 or CR1/CR2 visas.

QUOTE (soccoach @ Mar 26 2008, 03:43 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hello all,
I went to the embassy in Manila to ask some questions and now I am really confused.

1. He said my wife's 10 year visitor visa is not endagered if we submit the I-130 directly to the embassy using Direct Councelar Filing. This seems so contrary to everything I have read. I don't want my wife to get to Detroit and then miss my daughter's wedding because she is truned away at the POE.


This is correct. The visitor visa will remain current even though there is an I-130 on file. Your wife will, however, need to show sufficient proof at the POE that she will be returning to the Philippines after her visit.

QUOTE (soccoach @ Mar 26 2008, 03:43 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
2. He said I don't need a US based domicle until the visa is approved. The visa can not be given until the domicile is established. That seems contrary to the usual feedback that a domicile is needed in order to file in the first place. I have to prove residence in the Phils in order to file DCF, so how can I prove domicile in the US?


Sorry, don't know the answer to this one. Hopefully someone who knows will post a reply.


QUOTE (soccoach @ Mar 26 2008, 03:43 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
3. He also said that whether my step-daughter is adopted or not makes no difference to the I-130.


This is correct. You can file for your stepdaughter by virtue of her being your stepdaughter. She falls within USCIS' definition of "your child" who can be petitioned by a USC via the I-130.

My wife has her interview in 2 weeks in Moscow, once she receives her visa and then gets the conditional green card because we haven't been married for 2 years yet, do we have to file for AOS, or because we did I-130 we don't have to file for AOS because all that stuff is done already? Help! I've read a lot of stuff and I am confused how we get the permanent green card instead of the conditional one.

Thanks


You will need to apply for the AOS and pay the fees 21 months from the time you pass thru your point of entry. Once that is approved they will issue a 10 year green card.



This is not correct. OP's wife is coming in on a CR1 visa. She automatically becomes a legal permanent resident when she is processed at the POE. She will get an I-551 stamp in her passport and her actual green card will arrive anytime between 3-6 weeks.

No need to file for AOS. Since you are applying for a CR1, your wife will get an I-551 stamp on her passport which will be proof that she is legal to live and work in the USA and to travel overseas at any time.

If she activates the visa before your 2nd wedding anniversary, then she will get a 2yr (conditional) green card and will have to apply for removal of conditions (I-751) two years down the road.



I have 6 more questions for you... On the DS230 form that we filled out, it said on the bottom somewhere I think on Part II about getting a Social Security Card Sent to Her... Should we be antisipating receiving her SSC in the mail since we checked that block or does she need to take her passport to the Social Security Office here in the US and apply?

Second Question, does she need to apply for a work permit, or because of the stamp I-551 she will get, she will be able to work without doing any further paper work?

Third Question.... She is working on her PhD and will need to go back to Russia for a short time, just 2 weeks after she comes to the USA... I think about 4 months or so after she gets here she will need to go back for 2 weeks... Does she need to fill out the paper work to request to re-enter the USA, or since it's only for 2 weeks she doesn't need to fill any paperwork out?

Fifth Question... How long does it take for her to get her conditional green card so that she doesn't have to use the stamp that is going to be in her passport the I-551.

Sixth Question... the conditional passport is for 2 years, but the 2 years is not after being married for 2 years, but 2 years from the date it was issued correct?

Sorry, lots of questions =)


They will tell you at point of entry that the SS card will take 2-4 weeks to arrive. If you don't receive it in 4 weeks you should go to a SS officce with birth certificate and pass port.

A work permit is not needed. The I-551 stamp can be used as a temporary "green card".

The CR1 visa is good for multiple entries. She should be sure and carry her marriage certificate along with the visa for the return entry though.

The 2 green card will probably take 6-8 weeks to arrive.

It's for 2 years from date of arrival in the U.S. Three montys prior to that date, you should file for the AOS, or 21 months from date of entry.



I think you mean I-751 (Removal of conditions) instead of AOS. smile.gif

What potential problems will the father face when the son petitions for him? What waivers etc, if any, do they need to file? Will they be filing concurrent I-485, I-130 and I-131 as father is already in the US ? Somewhere I read something about a 201 waiver or something like that...can't remember exactly...Am I mistaken or can anyone help with further guidance ?

Yes he can apply for an I-130 for his father after he got naturalized. It could be and IR1 (immediate Relative Visa Petition).




As a son sponsoring a parent, they are eligible to file for AOS in the US. I'm not sure how unauthorized work and overstay will impact on the approval of the application. Reading the instructions for the I-485 it seems like overstay is "forgiven" for immediate relatives (parent, spouse, child) or a USC. It's not too clear about unauthorized work though. Maybe someone with similar experience can share here.

Since your wife was inspected at entry and she married a USC (you), her overstay will be forgiven.

You should submit the I-864 (affidavit of support) and I-693 (medical exam) together with the forms that you already have. Suggest you file for the EAD also since it's already part of the fee, just in case the green card is delayed.

Good luck and may your AOS be speedy.

It took my Filipina wife and I almost 4 years to get her here to Texas. When my wife went to the consuler in Manala HE changed her K-3 to a IR1. He told her that because it took so long to get to that point that he would change it himself. When she got here she was told by the people that checked her packet when she arrived in the US airport that she would get her Green Card automatically and soon. How long wil it really take? I have looked and tried calling someone to find out the real times of getting the card. Also I have also applied for the SSN on her DS-230 Part II form that was sent in. Is this the right process for that? To me it seems vague and needs more of my attention. Seems to easy for this. lol. Nothing is this easy. HELP... She wants to work, get a drivers license and her green card. She arrived March 20, she is very dissatisfied with the whole process.
It took this long because of the good old IRS. Someone there didnt believe that we were really married....hmmmm go figure.


She should have gotten an I-551 stamp in her passport when she was processed at the POE. With that stamp your wife can go get her SSN, get a DL and work. No need to wait for the actual green card to arrive.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures?? Q's- Why CR1 after 3.5 yrs? & work permit?
I'm not sure if I'm following this correctly. You said:

Dec 28, 2004 = marriage
Feb 07, 2008 = waiver
Apr 07, 2008 = visa approval
Apr ??, 2008 = date of entry?

The visa was approved 3yrs and almost 4 months after your marriage. Your husband should definitely have gotten an IR1 when he entered. Does he have his physical green card already? If not, then perhaps you can make an INFOPASS and ask the USCIS records to be corrected to show that he is an IR1 and not a CR1.

As long as the visa has not yet expired, then that person should be ok.

If he/she is entering on a CR1/IR1 visa, he/she will get an I-551 stamp on his/her passport. That will serve as proof of legal permanent resident (LPR) status and will allow that person to work in the US and travel overseas. The stamp is usually valid for 1 year.

Best wishes on your marriage!

Once you have filed the AOS/EAD/AP/I-130 and get NOAs (receipts) for the applications, your husband's status will be "adjustment applicant". He will not need to leave the US when his H2B visa expires. He should not leave the country if his H2B visa expires and he does not have an approved AP in hand yet.

Hi Haole, so you don't plan on submitting the adoption papers to the NCSO in the Philippines?

Edited to add:

I sent an email to the Census office in the Philippines regarding registering the adoption and here's what they provided me:

QUOTE
If the adoption is finalized in the United States, please be informed that the same should first undergo court validation under Memorandum Circular No. 2007-008 issued by this office which provides that judgments/orders rendered by foreign courts must be passed upon judicially by Philippine court to prove its validity. These are not self-executory in the Philippines.

These judgments/orders must be judicially confirmed/enforced by filing a civil action with the RTC in the Philippines. You may file with the RTC where the birth of the child took place. The RTC will render a decision and will issue a Certificate of Finality which shall be registered in the Local Civil Registry Office of the city/municipality where the court is functioning. The decisions of the RTC shall become the basis for the amendment of the birth certificate of the child.

After this, you may get a copy of the amended birth certificate of your son with our office at NSO East Avenue, Quezon City.

Yes, you can adopt the child once he/she is here in the US. However, if you want the child's birth records in the Philippines to be corrected to show you as his/her father and have his/her family name changed to yours, the US adoption will have to be 'certified' by a Philippine court. So, you can take the adoption one step at a time. Do the US adoption first and, when you are ready to schedule a trip to the Philippines, do the amendment of the birth records.


Why would any kind of adoption change a birth record? Being adopted doesn't change the biographical data associated with their birth.

Yes, you can adopt your foreign step-child in the USA with similar stipulations as what would apply to a US Citizen step-child.



Pushbrk, my husband was adopted by his (then) stepfather. When hubby's adoption was completed, the court arranged for a new birth certificate to be issued for my husband and it showed his stepfather as his father. That is part of the biographical data associated with birth and they are changed when an adoption is completed.

When my son's adoption process is completed, I would like it to be reflected in his birth records. Since my son was born in the Philippines we, obviously, need to submit the adoption documents to the government office in the Philippines that manages such records. We want these changes to be reflected in the Philippines so that my son will be able to maintain dual citizenship if he wants to without any problems.

Hi everyone...I'm just trying to get a clearer understanding of this process, as this is the one that I plan to do w/ my husband. Now, please bear with me as I have a couple of questions!

1. Once the petition for the I-130 is approved, it then moves forward to the NVC? Right?
2. Once it's at the NVC, I know there's a ton of other paperwork to collect, but are there any other approvals necessary, or is the case simply complete when all of the forms and fees have been collected?
3. Once the case is completed at the NVC, do THEY assign an interview date? If so, is it a date that they pick, or is it a date given to them by the Embassy of your spouses country?

Those are my main questions at this point...I probably will have tons more, but I'm just trying to sort the whole process out. And does it seem like there's a 5 month waiting period between the filing of the petition and case completion at NVC?

Hey Mrs. P, use the 864EZ form. WE have paid our IV fee, so now I am getting ready to send in the last documents.


Man Rox, yall are moving quick! Good for you girl! If this is the one I can do, then I suppose I'll go with this one.



I overlooked the fact that he will need to sign part I of the 230 form, so tonight I will be scanning it in the system and e-mailing it to him, so he can sign it and send it back to me overnight. One of the shortcuts (ling) don't tell you that 2 passport photo's are needed for this process, make sure you have enough passport photos on hand too.


When I was down there a few weeks ago I had him take 6 passport photos and I brought back 4...I also had him sign 3 copies of the DS 230 Pt 1 as well...he's going to pick up his police certificate tomorrow (they never called to let him know it was ready), and I will send him the money to have it sent over here via FEDEX or DHL...I just don't trust the JA mail system with something so important...

Hi guys...

So the NVC just accepted my payment for AOS and I am beginning to assemble the packet. My question is, which one of the forms (I-864 or I-864EZ) would be better to complete. I'm only filing for my husband, and of course my salary from my job exceeds the 125% poverty guidelines. Wouldn't I be better off just doing the EZ form? Seems like less of a hassle.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresIV Fee Bill
Does this bill need to be paid before I receive the IV documents? Also, can I pay the IV bill without having sent in the documents for the AOS? Will they accept the payment, or do I have to wait and send in the AOS package first?
