IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresAlmost Done!
Today my husband is mailing in my Immigrant Visa package. We are officially (nearly) done!
So what happens now? Is it going to be a long wait until they tell me I can make my appointment for my medical or will it go pretty fast because with the NVC as soon as we've been sending in forms, they've been being looked at and assessed which has been really nice. We were surprised at how quickly they went over everything.
Maybe I will be there by our wedding anniversary after all! (April 4th!!)

We got approved last week and then today we called up NVC and found out that our ds 3032 had been generated so I just emailed it in now and will mail it again once I receive the form.

My visa just got touched again today- hopefully the next time now will be our approval. My husband is about to leave to go back to America for work after being here for 4 weeks over Christmas i'll be sad to see him go so I'm excited that things finally seem like they are moving forward

Hey we're new here.
We started applying for our visa in August and we too just got transferred to the CSC on December 17th and was then touched again on December 29th.
We really hope everything starts going faster from here on out!

See I'm going in on an immigrant visa so I have to have started the course of the drugs I think.
I too am too old (22!)
Haha-- too old at 22! How bad is that?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresHPV Vaccine
I am slightly confused about the HPV vaccine. It's the only one I need (I think!) as I got my vaccine records from the Doctor today. Now it says that nationally, we do not treat women over 18 for HPV so does this mean that I will have to have it done at the embassy for their great price of £120 (yea right!) or could I try to get it from my doctor for cheaper or FREE?!?
Has anyone known of people being admitted into the country without this vaccine?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresName change
We got married in April last year in New York and I officially changed my name to my husband's surname. The only thing I didn't get round to changing was my passport because the embassy had all my documents by the time I could afford it. Obviously my visa will be issued in the name of my passprort but when I get to the US, can I get my name changed on my passport then and if so, what will happen with my visa? Will I have to apply to get the name changed on that too or will it get done automatically?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresESTA
all,

Just a quick question.
I am entering the US in New York for the first time on my CR-1 Visa on Monday.
Do I need to fill out an ESTA online or am I ok since I won't be entering the country on a Visa Waiver?

Thanks so much!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresChanging name in passport after arriving in the USA
So I found out I can send my passport to the UK embassy here in the US for $214 to get my name changed. I don't have a green card yet, just the visa page in my passport. Will they not just automatically update my visa/green card when they see my passport s changed? Because obviously the government have to be notified as they are the ones changing it

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresChanging name in passport after arriving in the USA
I arrived into New York last Monday. No problems at all. Today I am going to pick up my social security card from the office. What I wondered was how do I now change the name in my passport to my married name and how will it affect my visa as that too is in my maiden name?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCR-1: will London Embassy stamp my passport same day?
The embassy in London is erally quick. I had to send in some more forms after my interview because we had not signed them properly and so I had to courier my passport back to the embassy and then back to me. From them picking it up from my house in Nottingham and delivering it back to me took 6 days so I wouldn't think it would take too long. 2-4 days tops. Plus they will send you a text the ady before delivery.

I don't know. I hadn't thought about it. I just called up the passport hotline on the ukinusa website but they were no good. Now I'm trying to find somewhere else to contact to try to find out

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresChanges to Passport after entry to the USA
OK. I have all the documents and fees I need to send off my passport to go and get changed into my married name. What will happen to my visa? Will they switch it into the new passport? Will I have any problems if the name on the visa is different to the name on my passport?
misscharlotteFemaleEngland2009-06-23 10:50:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresmaiden name in passport
I am in the same situation now. I wish Id have known I could have asked for my maiden name in the annotations. When I went to social security, they did issue my card in my married name because I took my marriage certificate along with me. I just hope they do the same for my state ID. I am mailing off my passport to get my name changed at the UK embassy here in the USA- it's expensive but worth it. What will happen to my visa though and greencard seeing as they are in my maiden name?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresFINALLY Changing my name on passport CR1 visa
Hey guys

So Ive been living here in New York with my husband since June. I have a job now and subsequently have enough money to afford to change my passport to my married name. I have all the forms, the fees, documents etc... but I'm just wondering what now will happen to my green card, as that is still in my maiden name, even though we were already married before my green card was issued.
How will the affect me if I change the name on my passport but not on my greencard, which is up for renewal next June so I would presume I could change the name then when I have to renew?!

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)Deported from the US (for a friend)

Hmmm. I'm not that knowledgeable and could be wrong, but, since he was in the US from the age of 10 till 26, that is more than enough time to become a naturalized US Citizen, so why was he deported again? Did they really revoke his citizenship on grounds of the crime he committed or did he just not become a naturalized citizen?


I believe that you have to be either 18 or 21 before you can apply for naturalisation. I'm not sure why he never did it before - I think it maybe never occured to him. I think his parents did theirs, and a lot of immigrant children assume that they also received naturalisation with their parents which isn't always the case. I have asked that much - I only know as much as I put above.
