IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresLETTER OF DENIAL....
You never properly filed the petition from what I understand. Form G-325A is part of the initial application.

I am really sorry to hear that, but having a chance to appeal is definately not the end!

Best of luck

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresIR1 - CR1
Hello all,

From what I understand a CR1 is issued if visa is granted/issued if beneficiary has been married to petitioner for less than two years...

So when i filed for my hubby it was less than two years. however, when we go for our interview in july we would have already celebrated our 2 yrs in june...so does this mean that at POE my hubby will be issued a IR1?
Do we have to notify them about this or is it automatically updated in the records?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresGot a question to ask need help......
no you would need to submit those docs with the ds230
i-864 is merely financial documents
L179FemalePakistan2009-06-08 03:12:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedureswhat happens next?
this might help a little chck out
L179FemalePakistan2009-06-08 23:51:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedureswhat happens next?
You would start needing to gather documents for the Affidavit of Support:
Form I-864
Letter of employment
tax returns for last 3 years
bank statement (optional)

form Ds-230 part I and II
do not sign part II
you would need forms
police clearance certificate from any country you have stayed for more than 6 months after age of 16
copy of any divorce papers
marriage certificate
copy of valid passport

if i am forgetting anything, someone help me out! but this is the best i can remember

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresORIGINAL OR CERTIFIED Police certificates?
ok, here is the deal
we got ONE pc issued back in February and submitted it along with our DS230. but it was actually not required by NVC.
when we got our interview letter they said we need to get a new one along with us to interview.
so i called the USEM and they said that its valid for a year and we wont need a new one so not to worry.
if yours has been expired by the time your case has been completed then you need a new one, if not then you wont
your best bet is to check with NVC or with the local embassy
L179FemalePakistan2009-06-13 01:57:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresORIGINAL OR CERTIFIED Police certificates?
No.
if NVC requires a new one then you will have to submit a new one to them.
they will not complete the case and assign you an interview date till you do so and that means you will not have an interview till you do so!!!
police certificates are usually valid for a year.
so find out if its a false RFE or not
if not then definately send them a new one.


L179FemalePakistan2009-06-13 01:47:00

L179FemalePakistan2009-06-12 22:37:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresWOW THIS IS PATHETIC
You are definately overworking yourself unneccesarily.
you don't require the NOA2, because all that will say is, you have been approved, which is quite obvious as you are already working with NVC now.
You could try calling again and simply say that you don't have the NOA2 and would like a reprint.
If they refuse to give you one, which they might, as its already moved on to the next step, no worries!
once the whole thing is done, you could try asking the CO at your interview what to do, or after you move to the US, just try then.
Or else, just try to resolve your NVC process as soon as you can to get your family over!

Just keep a close follow up with the AVR however do speak to a live operator every 2-3 days or so
your case should be completed soon if there is no RFE
L179FemalePakistan2009-06-23 05:27:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresk-3 and cr-1
Definately CR1, especially if your hubby is the beneficiary.
cause on K3, your hubby would not wanna stay home and not be able to do anything. you are simply a visitor and nothing more.
on CR1, you can apply for a job, or even take up education and excel in further studies.
definately a better option cause you save money too.
Only negative about it is it takes a little longer than the k3...but not more than 2-3 months

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresShould I FAKE IT?
Hi Everyone!

Wanted to inform you all that I was able to get my police certificate in Karachi, Pakistan after waiting for 10 days + Rs. 2500 (around $37) for the D.I.G. as a present for making the process swift [whatever!]. The documents I had included along with my form was a letter addressed to the local police station stating the need of this certificate for Immigrant Visa...it also stated that I have chosen my husband as my agent, copy of my passport, copy of my ID card, copy of a utility bill, copy of my marriage certificate, copy of an educational certificate, copy of the ID card of my father and two neighbours, copy of NOA1 and NOA2 and a print out from NVC's website stating the required documents. I had given my documents to a sub-inspector of the local police station who was an acquantance...and it costed me several phone calls too.

The police certificate is valid for 6 months from the date of issue.

Hope this helps.
I did not need to fake any documents for this police certificate.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresShould I FAKE IT?
I certainly agree with your opinion bbpatel but as badspellor has already explained my idea so well, I think there is very little left to explain. All the ideas I have received through this thread have helped me compile the documents for the Police certificate, mind you Scott and Marta...I am not faking anything. Going to go ahead with what I have.

Thanks a lot everyone for putting in effort and time to help me out with this problem. I am sure this thread will be useful to others too.

Best regards to everyone,

Sara.

I have exactly same problem where my wife lives in a part of India. Police department requires some physical document from Embassy or interview letter before issuing police certificate. There are several people in my area now e-mailing local Embassy to send them letter as a proof and having success. You can do exactly same.

Also when you request police certificate then you can use this cover letter template to make police department aware that NVC has changed process. You can found cover letter posted here. http://www.visajourn...h...t&p=1786154

Good luck. Keep us posted.

I can not thank you all enough for all the support. Shape (its awfully comforting reading your post). Kitty, thank you for the reassurance because at times all we need is a little push from people who know whats going on and it helps a lot. emt103c, thanks tons for the posts. I am sure you know the dodgy system here too well. With the right people taking care of the documents at government offices...anything is possible but in my case, even though I have nothing to be afraid of, it seems like a really tough task getthing this one certificate!

I'll definitely keep you all posted. Thanks again for all the help!

Shape its very kind of you to comfort me in such a time. Its a nerve wrecking experience to be honest and I have been an utter disappointment in general...I have virtually failed at everything I have tried and on the other hand, my better half is definitely smarter and has achieved a lot in a very short time. Maybe I should not pitty myself so much but for once I want to get things done right and just in time to improve my reputation with people who have to bear with me everyday. help and support..much appreciated Shape.
