IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresVaccination questions
Great if I could get that doc or a link I would appreciate it.

We sped through the shortcuts so fast she has not yet even received anything from the NVC yet and they will probably be scheduling the interview next week

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresVaccination questions
So do you mean it is not good enough that Dr. that did the medical wrote she will have all vaccinations which all children get in Poland and she will need only some additional or she will need all vaccinations on the list?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresVaccination questions

Same exact case for us. She had lost/throw away vaccination card (she never dreamed she would be needing that). Anyhow, vaccinations are not required at this stage, but will be when AOS state side. It's a lot less expensive to do them there, we/she had them done at the time of the interview. Also, of all the vaccines required, only the age-appropriate will be re-done.
You can see what is age appropriate in the CDC web site. I have a pdf and can post it if you wish.

<edit>. I just realized you said 'wife', so if this is CR1, then yes (we were K-1). However, as above, I'd do them there, less expensive.

Good luck


I don't totally understand yes for CR1. Does it mean yes it is OK as it is? Or yes she will need them before interview? And if she needs vaccination, is it all on the list because she doesn't have the book or only ones which are not given in Poland

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresVaccination questions
My wife told me at the medical they said to her and wrote in the medical report that she should have all the required vaccinations. She has lived all her life in Poland and had whatever vaccinations all children get but does not have the book that lists them anymore. Will this be OK? Thanks.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresWhat happens next
You can call tomorrow and get the number. We did the same way as you. If you put your email addresses on the forms they will already have them.

Hallo forum members. As all of you know yesterday i finally got my NVC case number. Thank you NVC. Took only couple of days.
Yesterday i have email NVC using my wife`s email adress per DS 3032 choice of agent form(email format). I know i was supposed to call NVC and speak to the operator first.Provide them with my and wife email addresses so they could send us choice of agent form DS 3032 and fee bills once they are created. I also did not obtain from NVC invoice number couse i didn`t make that call.

Can i make that call tomorrow(NVC) and give them email addresses, and ask for invoice number?Or is to late becouse they already have my choice of agent form(email format) What happens next?

IMO do the CR-1. For one it is cheaper, it might take slightly longer but is a sure thing if everything is legit and also she gets a green card immediately without adjustment of status

Dear Sir/Madam:

Please be advised that the National Visa Center (NVC) contacted U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) to locate your approved petition. USCIS has informed the NVC, that your petition is en route to the NVC. Once we have received your petition, the appropriate agent will receive further instructions within 6 to 8 weeks.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresWhat do I do after the I-130?
Hello from Brazil, I am in Fortaleza now for work.

See Yings shortcuts on here and collect everything you will need. Signed DS-230 from your husband/wife, their long birth certificate and police certificate if it does not have expiration that is too soon. Then you can send it to NVC right after your case is done instead of getting it all later. I finished the NVD step in 10 days instead of months by following the shortcuts. You will need to email the 3032 when it is in NVC step so you can ignore the barcode stuff. But the email must come from your husband/wife's email. Find the shortcuts and all will be clear.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresInterview prep and SSN ?
My wife has her interview in Warsaw Monday. She is going to take our SKype logs, pics together in US and Poland and documents of my last visit to her for our family marriage party (hotel in both names, boarding pass)
Should she take anything else?

Also when she comes here, what is the process for us to get a SSN for her? Do they send it or do we need to apply?

Thanks for all the help

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresApproved Warsaw
We are so happy my wif was approved today in Warsaw embassy. About 45 min start to end. They did ask her for original marriage certificate which she had with her as well as photos, it seems strange as we had to submit an original marriage certificate to NVC before . I will ask her to write description. There was only one person before her in the que. They asked How we met, what I did for a living, where we will live, what she did for a living and I think that is all. She was well prepared with copies of all docs submitted to NVC and skype logs, boarding passes, photos etc.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedureshow long after POE till receive green card and SSN
We checked the box to get the SS, but I was planning to go to the office. Thanks for the info that the passport stamp serves as the temp GC. Now we are most interested in getting a drivers license and they require certain proof of ID and the bank won't let me add her to my account without 2 pieces of ID.

Thanks for all the help I could not have completed this process so quickly without this web site.

That is all there should be in the passport--take it plus the other two documents just in case.


What other 2 documents are you referring to?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresGF with Tourist Visa, will apply AOS after wedding in Phils.HELP?

inky and ryan H,

thanks a lot for the information. i really appreciate it. follow up question:

lets say i apply a spouse visa then after wedding next year she wants to come here while waiting for her visa in the phils just to spend time with me, is it possible she can use her tourist visa after wedding while the sposue visa is still under process.? thanks again.

er.

You can get married here while she visits as long as it is "not your intent" in other words a spontaneous romantic moment :)
Then she must go back home and you apply for a CR-1 spouse visa and wait out the average 8 months, during this time she will probably not be able to some here.
After the spouse visa she will have the green card immediately entering the US. You must collect as much proof of bonafide marriage between now and then. Pictures together with her family and yours, phone record. Open up a bank account together. These things will be very important. Especially pics at church wedding and invitations etc.. bill for the ring.
My wife and I did it this way.

Does he qualify for Direct Consular filing since he resides outside the US? If so he can file at the consular office in Canada and those applications are much quicker from what I understand
