IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsInterviews in San'a, Yemen

In the Affidavit of paternity/maternity form, they ask for a list of phone numbers of family, friends, and neighbors. Are those numbers supposed to be of the petitioner in the US or the beneficiary in Yemen?


The petitioner suppose to fill that out.

Your case is sent to Sanaa only when you have an appointment


Also, do you guys think it's okay if I go with my husband for his visa pickup??
I really want to go.




Idk. I think you should stay in the car until he picks it up. Idk what you should expect from the embassy but when you think about it, it's already done they issued your husband his visa so I don't think there's anything they will hold against you. So I think you should go they already approved and issue so no problem inshallah

Yes it is as easy as that. My wife went to the US Embassy for our children's CRBA/Passport Appointment last week and she just told them "hey can I pick up my passport since it says issued on the website? ". They said no at first but she pressed on and pushed the consular officer to do it and he let her take it day :) she just showed them her passport copy and they have her her original passport with the visa inside.

She is going to the embassy in a couple of hours because our kids' appointment was rescheduled since they asked for the original affidavit of consent, and new 2x2 passport photos for my kids.


Oh really . Am just thinking that this is too easy for them to just hand it over but Alhamdalllah everything is done. And inshallah your kids will receive there visa approval soon inshallah. Inshallah we all get through this and for the people who are just in the beginning good luck and pray to Allah

Am so nervous right now. So just to make sure when he goes the pick up his visa he does not need to present any more document. My husband said that she told him to just come and pick up your visa. This sound so unreal. Lol that I am at the end of this process . Am just happy to be over with this and inshallah all of you will finish inshallah

My husband got a visa pickup for Dec 4th.
I'm from Michigan and our sponsor was my brother in law and he lives in Connecticut.
I don't think that matters.

They used to take originals years ago. They copy and scan everything now and give everything back to the applicant. I advise to bring all documents with you again anytime you go to the embassy in Sanaa. Expect the unexpected.


They took my husband document as well. All of them and they told him they will return it when he receive his visa . Am confused

Hey do anyone knows what to bring when you go and pick up your visa?

i just dont think emailing them everyday is a good idea they will ignore thrm if they see that the i have written so much also i think our embassy in yemen is unfair just like sleepless said and they lie when they say there are people ahead of us its all about being lucky or mot. also whats driving me crazy is that automated message that they have when u email them. we all know its not closed why do u think they havnt changed that message


Contact your congress man. She will help a lot with your case. You have been on ap for a while. That's not right. Contact your congressman

What did he pay for in the embassy?
After she told us congrats I asked her do we she to pay for the visa, she was like it's always paid for.
Which I'm assuming is the IV bill we paid online.


You know , I don't know why he paid 260. Am gonna call him and talk to him about it, but my husband told me that they asked him to pay. I already paid all of the visa application . Idk am confused
Any who the main thing is he passed and he's coming to the USA lol, good luck for all of you
Can not wait to be reunited with my husband, it's been three years and half inshallah all of you will be reunited or will join the USA soon

Hey Sweetlove57 what did your husband pay the $260 for? Did you pay all the visas already online like the immigrant visa fee and the affidavit of support fee?


I really don't know why he paid but they asked him to pay that amount when he went there . I'm gonna call the uscis if he still has to pay the 165.

How long have you been in Yemen? And if you have been here for more than a year and you don't have a utility bill I would suggest not to go with your husband inside the embassy. Just wait for him outside or something. From what it seems to be they're just gonna tell him to drop off paperworks or his ID. You don't want them to see you and then start asking other type of questions. That's what I think you should do.

First of all congratulations for the call back, it's about time. Secondly, proof of domicile for the us embassy of Yemen would be a utility bill like electricity or gas. Hopefully it all goes well for you guys.



First of all thanks! Lol i kno rit it was killing us. Also i have never worked a day in my life nor do I have any bills in my name, or a bank account. I am a full time college student and i live with my parents who basically pay for everything until my husband comes into America so wat else do u think would be able to be valid proof. How about school records, medical records, random mail in my name with my home address, debit card that was issued to me from my college??

So they still review the affadavit support in yemen too? Didn't they review it and accept it at NVC? And one more thing... For the affadavit, When u said he had done it for a lot of people, how many do u think cos I got one but he already did it for some people too and now I'm worried plz reply..


Yes all the NVC does is makes sure you provided everything and filled it out correctly they dont tell you whether or not they will be an accelted valid sponsor unfortunatley i found this out the hard way. He had done it for 7 ppl i think and his income was only 60,000 plus he had children it all depend on income, dependants he has, and who has has sponsored who are not yet US citizens. So if they have a really high income they can sponsor depending on that you check to see on the I-864 EZ form i think jus google sponsor requirments and it should show u the number of ppl and how much the income has to be based on that. :)

We had a first interview on November 20, 2013 but were put under AP cuz our Avvidavit of Support did not suffice because he had done it for too many ppl already, so we sent in a new AOS to the embassy via DHL and it was reviewed and accepted in April and finally just now we got an appointment alhamdililah! :)

Mabruk congraulations ??

3 weeks after our interview and still no call to come pick up visa! Hoping to hear soon! Ya rab.......Looks like their 2-3 week estimate will end up taking longer than promised.
