IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	kevin- Glad to hear it was expedite. Sorry to hear about the stalker. Yikes!	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-08-27 19:45:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	Thanks for the translation Senior! A/John- Can you bring us all back some treats from India, please? It will make the wait much nicer	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-08-27 19:29:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	Senior- I hope you don't mind if I pre-screen the selection Thanks for thinking of me! John- One more week until departure, correct? Maybe once you turn on the phone in the middle of the night after your long first flight, you will get a pleasant text that will make your 15 hour flight seem like nothing Pay no attention to the lady who has no idea how long it will take to get there Marie- Any news this afternoon?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	kruz- I am at a standstill waiting on documents from my husband and for a co-sponsor. Thanks for asking though Rich- I hope she is able to receive the care she needs soon. I love how USCIS sends texts at random hours. John- Hang in there buddy...you are so close to being done with USCIS. At least you have a trip to focus on	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-08-27 08:54:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	Rich- You didn't give me time to guess!!! WOO HOO!!!! Congrats in the approval. Sorry it was based on something terrible but an approval none the less! Are you ready for the NVC? Don't forget and try to expedite through them as well. But do it quickly because then that way, all you have to do is submit your paperwork at the embassy. Jeez...you could be staring at a Sept interview (given the right circumstances).... How is your mom doing? I hope to hear some good news from the other people waiting in here.	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-08-27 08:02:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	Marie- Good grief! How ridiculous!!! What a nice excuse. They did the same thing to kdrjn...or some name close to that from December. Didn't get an RFE until July!!!!	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-08-26 10:49:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	russ and mary- Have you tried calling USCIS to see what they say?	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-08-26 09:30:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	I really hope to see more happy people in this thread Good luck to those who are still waiting!	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-08-25 20:34:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	I second John and think you should call them tomorrow if you don't hear from them before then. The main message might just have it as well. That won't make them mad since you are only asking what it means and not telling them that they must approve you post haste.	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-08-24 20:50:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	Russ- Any news on the I-130? I hope that tomorrow will bring much happiness to at least one person on here!	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-08-24 19:57:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	kevinandangel- I haven't been able to send off either packet yet. So my NVC time clock is on hold. The 21 days in LingChe is only applicable when the NVC isn't super backlogged like it has been for a while now. It seems to be thinning a little but your SIF countdown started when they input that all of your documents were received (or 10 days ago). Before, you would've had a SIF pretty soon but since they are behind-it could be anywhere from now to 7 more weeks of waiting . Question: " So, you can expect your Manila interview will be 3-12 weeks after that date."- Is this directed at me or are you figuring things out loud? Just wondering because if it is to me- My husband is from Peru . If you are thinking out loud, your interview will most likely be scheduled within a month's time from when you get your SIF/CC. Unless for some reason they get super backed up in the PI and make people wait longer for interviews (which I hope doesn't happen for all of you PI members...or anyone else for that matter). I hope that made sense. I am too tired to proof read/make sure I am correcting my "what the heck did she just say" statements. If it didn't make sense, just let me know and I will correct myself at a later time today I hope to hear some good news from someone today!!! C'mon good news!!!!!	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-08-20 07:32:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	Rich- So sorry to hear about your mom. I hope her health stabilizes soon and she is able to recover Anthony- Fine-a-frickin-ly!!!! How awesome! I hope you are able to enjoy this bit of happiness even though it took wayyyyyyy to long to arrive! I also hope that you have everything ready to send off to NVC once the time comes around. Yay!!!! Among the other people who are waiting...I really hope to hear from Marie! C'mon more good news for our fishes who are almost all out of water.	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-08-19 22:21:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	Congrats junglemuppet!	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-08-18 08:42:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	HAPPY ANNIVERSARY ANTHONY!!!!! Congrats on making the 1 year mark! Since we have been away from our spouses during the "honeymoon stage" do that mean we will get that stage once we see them again?!	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-08-17 20:34:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	Good grief Anthony! At least they were able to tell you a little something. A very litllllle something. I hope it gets resolved quickly! How absurd. Marie- I hope they give you some good news soon as well. Why do they keep making people jump through a ton of hoops to get the same answers?!	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-08-16 17:25:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	240 pages and counting! This thread will forever live in infamy on VJ! I really hope that those who are still waiting can get their llllllllllllllloooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnng awaited approvals. Jeez USCIS! "No, it's not Haiti" "Yes, wait, no. Uh..we need more people. I think. Maybe. Just call back later." I sure hope that by the time everyone gets approved, the NVC will have gone back down to 10 days instead of 6-8 weeks from all documents received to give the SIF/CC.	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-08-16 10:43:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	Good luck Anthony! I hope you get a long overdue surprise in your mail box or inbox this weekend! Good luck to everyone who is still waiting!	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-08-13 10:31:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	TJ- There is a special person to e-mail about expediting your case through NVC. Look here on VJ for "PI Supervisor Sue". That is the person to e-mail. Good luck! I hope everyone can enjoy their weekend and get some rest so that we can start dancing again in a few weeks.	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-08-07 07:45:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	Congrats Ravens on being out of the RFE waiting group! I hope that NVC will go smoother for you! C'mon USCIS, quit being mean and let the rest of the Marchers go!!!!	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-08-06 10:54:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	No problem Rich. I will be here well in to the May filers being approved. Unless God decides he has other plans for me. Then I shall stalk you all on facebook and make you be my friends J/k! I will be happy to see those around me fly right on past and have their "I got my visa today" 's posted everywhere. At least someone will be happy .	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-08-05 10:53:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	Ouch Tom. Ouch.	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-08-05 10:50:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	Rich- I am not almost done. I am so far from being done it isn't even funny. Ok, so it kind of is funny. I did a little calculation last night and if everything would've been in order...even with the 8 weeks of processing, I should've been getting my SIF around August 17th. Sadly, I don't have a co-sponsor nor documents from my husband YET. I will be here for at least another good 3 months.	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-08-05 10:46:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	Yeah TOM...your number has increased a lot!!!! .	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-08-05 10:39:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	Rich- Each country has their own specific things that are needed. The reciprocity table for Brazil can be found on the travel.state.gov website and it will tell you what you need. So far, all I have seen is that India needs those.	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-08-05 10:07:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	When it hits the 5 months, that is the time to speak to the immigration officer and not the telephone operator. The officer can move things while the operator just feeds you script. I hope it doesn't come down to that though. Best of luck!	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-08-04 20:19:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	Rich- There were some earlier ones that have received their NOA2 by now.	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-08-04 20:08:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	It seems like several Marchers got hit with RFE's. .	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-08-04 19:55:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	Woo hoo! Congrats Tena! You guys have come a long ways. I hope that the NVC is nicer to you than USCIS. Ok, c'mon USCIS, approve the other applications.	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-08-04 11:23:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	divina- You can send them separately if you'd like to.	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-08-03 21:19:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	Wow! Just like that!!! 2 more approvals!!! Woo hoo! Congrats to dijonne and CanadiaGirl! Well, half of the wait to get your NVC case number is over Haahahahahaha. I hope you guys are ready for NVC.	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-08-03 17:53:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	march1- Sure, you can send in a hand written DS230 as long as it is legible and make sure that you sign it in blue ink and use ink that won't smudge and all of that good stuff.	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-08-03 16:21:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	Congrats kayo_michael! I hope the rest of your journey goes by quicker than this part has been. C'mon approvals for those stillllllll waiting.....	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-08-02 10:44:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	I'd love to see some good news here today but I'm set on the idea that we might have to wait for the mail to arrive . C'mon USCIS....let's get crack-a-lacking!!!! Everyone needs a good pick me up around here.	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-08-02 08:04:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	Have a great weekend everyone!	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-07-30 20:20:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	No problem! Yeah, Vermont is slowerrrrrr than Cali right now. Which is sad because Cali is suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuper slow!	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-07-30 12:13:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	masry00- On your NOA1 it will say which center it was sent you. If your USCIS case number starts with WAC then it was sent to the California Service center and should say California Service Center on it. If it was sent to Vermont, your case number would start with EAC.	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-07-30 10:10:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	John- You can always try. Let us know how that works out . TJ- I think my spouse will miss the little things that he has yet to realize he will miss. Since it seems like such a long shot for us to even get him here, he hasn't really thought about what he will miss. I know that the food will def be a major thing he misses as well as family. Any good news today?	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-07-30 09:09:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	I think we should all apply to work there and help out future people .	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-07-29 20:55:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	Looks like we will all be wating for more approvals ! I hope we get some word from those who are waiting tomorrow!	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-07-29 18:50:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	March 2010 CR1 filers	kruz- I have yet to send the NVC anything besides money. There is nothing wrong with NVC in my case, but everything wrong with my case to the NVC! Oh John *sigh* all of May will take first place before I get to the end of the race. I will happily see you zoom past me. Marie- I don't know where you are (located in the U.S.) but I hope to hear some screaming coming from you soon!	BigSigh	Female	Peru	2010-07-29 15:17:00
