IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCIS is holding my approved petition too long.
I see that you are filing for the K-3 visa... maybe the I-130 has not gone to NVC because they are pushing your I-129F through to the consulate already... I have read on another board that this has been happening. If you are wanting to pursue the I-130 CR-1/IR-1 visa, you have to wait the 90 days and then they can officially reseach where the I-130 is...

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresDifferent name on Tax return/transcript and I-130 petition
QUOTE (Justin and Masako @ Apr 12 2008, 12:18 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hi all,

Ok, heres the situation. In early December I went to try to get a joint account for myself and my wife at my bank but they said she either needed a SSN or an ITIN. We had to wait to file for an ITIN until I could file our joint return as required by the W-7 ITIN form. When we were filling out the form I called the IRS to ask about the name as her passport only has her original family name (which will remain her legal name in Japan) and since the passport is the supporting evidence for the W-7 they said we have to use the name on the passport.

Now on the I-130 I used her legal name in the US which is her family name as her middle name and she took my family name as her last name. So my question is, will this be an issue when I send in the affidavit of support?

I am pretty sure that if they just ask us to bring those documents to the interview I can easily explain the situation to the satisfaction of the interviewer but what if they ask for us to send them before the interview? Our marriage certificate shows both of her names so its easy to prove that she is who she is, but do you think it will cause an issue?

Also, does anyone have experience with the W-7 application? Does it really take up to two months to be processed?

Thanks for any responses! smile.gif


I filed it for my husband to get him an ITIN to file our taxes together. It took about 90 days for my tax return to be processed (This was in February this year). I also work at a bank and know for a fact that you can open an account without any ID, all you have to fill out is a W-8 form. And at my bank, a passport is a legal document and an ITIN or SSN is not required...

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresDid any of you guys file your I-130 this way....?
I am trying to follow the shortcuts, but NVC does not want to cooperate with me, so I have to wait for the paperwork in the mail...

You list it on the DS-230. And you have to give them updated G-325A at the interview. They will typically ask for the updated G-325A anyways... just explain it at the interview...

NO, there are NO reports from the USA either, this is handled by USCIS/ NVC/ and Consulate when they do name checks through the FBI.

If you lived in other countries than Mexico for periods longer than 1 year, you will need police certs from the other countries.


Thanks for the reply, I am confused on how you obtain ther certificate. Since my husband is not here in the US, am I able to go and request it and what do I ask for? Thanks again

From what I understood from the directions for the DS-230, you just need to get the police records for all places lived since the age of 18... But I have been reading on here that it is an actual certificate thing???... what is exactly do I need to get? Any help would be great! Thanks!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresHow do you get "touch" info? (I'm looking but I can't find it)
QUOTE (positivity @ Sep 11 2008, 03:34 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hi Everyone,

I'm SURE this info is here somewhere, but I am just not finding it. Can someone tell me what you do to see "touches" on your case? Also, please tell me where that info is posted on VJ. It must be in one of the guides, right? I think I have just stayed up too late to be able to see anything. wacko.gif

Thank you!



Positivity,
You are at the local office, so the website will not reflect any activity that the local office does on your case. Mine online still says "We have transferred your case to the local office" blah blah blah. So even though I am approved, it was approved at the local office, so the website does not refect that.

Trying calling them at night and get the American spouse to call them. They tend to be nicer to American even though they are pretty nice when they speak to me. My husband just need to ask for them once and they gave it to him without problem.

Best of luck! rose.gif


LOL the sad thing is... I am the American and I can't get it from them!! LOL But I got the hardcopy in the mail today so I will use the IIN from that..

ditto... you need to call them and request over the phone... then remember to get a confirmation number so that you can track the request. It takes about 5 days to get a response from the request.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresE-MAIL 3032
that is the typical Auto-response they send out. It takes an average of 10 days from when the e-mail is sent for NVC to reply and say they entered it into the system.
NicoleX08FemaleMexico2008-09-15 07:22:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresdate for DS 3032
the date you have on there already should suffice. When you get the packet from NVC, just cut the barcode off the form they send you and paste it on the one that is already signed. and send it back to them.

Just a side note, please do not type in all caps, on these boards it comes off as yelling/screaming/throwing a temper tantrum and people don't like to respond to that. Other than that, good luck!
