I am wondering about a hypothetical situation, so here I go.

According to the rules for married couple, no where it is being said that they need to meet up in person within the last 2 years or basically there is no mention of meeting in person.

Now the question is what if the couple never meets in person but does a proxy marriage? Marriage is legal by every means, so will it be approved at least at the USCIS and also at NVC level for either K-3 or CR-1 visa?

We all know the consulate level is unpredictable at best and it will all depend upon the consular if he/she feels the said relationship is valid or not.

This isn’t anything serious, just I am curious about how things work with VISA and apparently I have a lot of time to kill tongue.gif


I have done some research and here's what i've found from USCIS.GOV



Thanks a lot for that link.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresHow soon can you pay the AOS fee?

The AVR says: "...This case was entered in the NVC computer system on _______. The case number assigned by the NVC is (Case #). Please allow 6-8 week from this date for the beneficiary to receive the documents"

The operator says: DS-3032 and fee bill have not been generated. It takes 6-8 weeks.

Got the IIN from the operator, she reminded me not to pay any of the fees until the bills are generated.

But, when I logged on to the IV Invoice Payment Center:

status for AOS fee is "not paid"
status for IV fee is "not invoiced"

Does that mean it is alright to pay the AOS fee now? or must wait until the AVR says "AOS fee bill has been generated"?

Leah


No please do not pay any fee now. The AOS fee bill should be generated along side the DS-3032 form. I can understand it already shows that the AOS fee bill has been generated but if you pay now, you might be charged the same bill twice. Its complex. Please wait a few days if possible or else it is up to you. We did not wait the last time and NVC charged us twice mad.gif and we did not receive any refund on that either.

thanks



Although it would be better if you could get a more recent employment letter, you will probably be ok with your old letter. The employment letter's role as far as I understand is to show your overall annual salary (before benefits). Your paystubs show that you are still employed and receiving a similar salary as in the letter. I think about the paystubs though the general rule is the 6 most recent pay stubs if you have them. I do not know if more hurts, but I would say try and get six if you can. At the end of the day, none of these are "officially" required. They are only supplementary evidence. Still, it is better to get a newer letter if possible.


hi' i just confirmed with the NVC and they said that there is no specifications on how current it needs to be. so i believe that as long we are showing the recent few pay stubs it will be fine. thanks all for your advise

I sent it last friday, but this weekend it stated that DS3032 Received. It does not state anything about receiving the AOS bill as of yet. Also you know if I should try getting the IIN number and pay the IV bill online.

Is there any site that will tell them exactly what to do. My wife assembled my package and I am clueless. She is out of town so I can not contact her. My friend's wife is reqesting that I gather this info for her because I am experienced. Boy, is she more than wrong. My wife did everything I just signed basically and filled out my own forms and collected needed affadavits.

Now what should she do about the pics? "Photo of" or "Photo of Azim" should go on the label? Just the words "Photos of" or do you also add the names?

Also, if she did not legally change her name on her SS card should she do so prior to applying for the case?

If you have been married less than 2 years then you get conditional greencard, that means your husband will get 2 year green card upon his arrival to US, and once he is in US you will have to apply for removing conditions to receive 10 year green card. I am not sure at what point of time you apply removing condition, as I was IR-1 beneficiary, but I think its 90 days before 2 year GC expires, someone can correct me.

For IR-1 couple, they automatically receive 10 year Green card upon arrival to US.


Exactly correct. You apply for an immigrant visa for a spouse and will recieve the one you qualify for on the issue date. You will then receive the status you qualify for on the entry date. It's possible to receive IR1 status when entering with a CR1 visa, if the two-year anniversary of the marriage occurs between visa issue and US entry.



So does one have to state the fact that the 2-year anniversary occured at the US Entry to qualify for the IR1 status instead of the CR1? Or at interview? Or after getting the CR1 visa and converting it to IR1 after entry to US?

And yes club you need to obtain a CENMAR from NSO. We went to the one here in Iligan and got it the next day after we applied.

2. AND I WAS READING ONLINE THAT YOU CANT TAKE ANYTHING THAT IS STEAL OR METAL INSIDE.....MY HUSBAND USED 3-RING BINDERS TO ORGANIZE ALL HIS PAPERWORK..........THEY WONT LET HIM TAKE THE BINDERS IN SINCE THEY ARE "METAL" RINGS????

3. I GOT THE APPOINTMENT LETTER WHICH SAID THAT IF MY HUSBAND DOESNT BEING THE CORRECT SIZE AND NUMBER OF PHOTO THE VISA MAY BE DENIED..........THE APPOINMNET LETTER HAD A WEBSITE TO GO TO FOR FURTHER INFO....I WENT TO THE WEBSITE AND IT SAID THAT WE NEED A CERTAIN SIZE 35MM AND 44 MM PICS OF HIS SIDE POSE OF THE FACE..........BUT I CALLED THE EMBASSY TO CONFIRM THE SIZE ADN THE GUY THAT PICKED UP SAID THAT WE DONT TAKE THOSE SIZE PICS ANYMORE...............DO WE ONLY NEED PASSPORT SIZE PICS???????

PLS ANSWER THESE RWO QUESTIONS FOR ME! THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH



1. As long as your marriage in true, you have nothing to worry about. You simply have to prove that the marriage was arranged but you are honest in the marriage and are not filing for merely green card purposes. If you have sufficient pictures, emails, chats, phone bills, etc, to prove your marriage then you have nothing to worry about.

2. You might want to call the embassy and confirm if you can take a 3 ring binder into the embassy. I really don't see a problem with the binder, as hair clips and watches etc are of metal too so i dont think it would really matter, but it doesn't hurt to call and confirm.

3. As far as I know, passport size pictures are appropriate.

4. It would be nice if you don't use caps in posts as it portrays yelling

Well, its been a while since you were approved. Doubt it was sent to the NRC instead of NVC. I would call USCIS and see what is going on, and maybe even call NVC and inquire there?
Just for grins, why do you think your approved petition was sent to the NRC???



well because USCIS says that they have sent it to NVC and have no further action on it. NVC says they never got it even though its been over 90 days and they can't act on something they dont have.
