Hi,

When i called the NVC about how long it will take them to send my case to the embassy in Pakistan they told me 2 to 4 weeks, in fact, they told me it takes two to four weeks for everything, processing the AOS, the Visa Application form, and sending it to Islamabad pakistan, Us embassy....

It never hurts to call the NVC, i called them like a billion times, they are usually nice, anyway, it's best to call them late at night when they aren't so busy.

I hope i helped

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresInterview Dates

You can definitely email Embassy for an interview date sooner. Make sure, you mention why you want it sooner. Then the Embassy may grant you one. Don't ask them, if they can schedule you an interview sooner, after others cancel theirs. If Embassy wants and feels it right, they will grant you an interview sooner.


It worked for us, i emailed the Islamabad embassy , they rescheduled our interview from jan 2 to october 6, Alhamdulillah.

I told them that i am having hard time here in usa with my son, without any help to raise him while i am studying, and working part time.

Hope i helped.

Can someone please tell me that should i list employed as i will still be getting paid for one year. or should i list unemployed and if i list unemployed would that effect my case status. I would be grateful if someone can answer my question???


hmm... this is interesting. I wonder if you can say you are employed or even self-employed since you'd be getting paid as usual.

Sorry I have no clue. I dont think it matters even if you put un-employed because you would file the most recent tax returns with it. On top of that you can include your last 3 pay stubs. I'm also sure that a letter from your previous employer stating you would get paid as usual wouldnt hurt your cause

Good luck!


Thanks for your help. Let me ask you something when you used James Shortcut was it easy to copy the barcode and was it accepted by NVC

Hey All,

I have one question that when we enter our case number in the barcode page under "Data to encode" do we have to put the "ISL" before the number or we just simply enter the numbers following the three letters. Can someone please advise on this. Thanks

You have to put ISL and all 10 digits, star_smile.gif

Just to make sure that my question was understood, when we go to generate the barcode "data to encode" only has numbers

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresSept 3rd approved case...no records
Hello All,

I filed for my husband (I-130 petition) back in September of 2007. Our case was finally approved one year later on September 3, 2008. I receieved an approval notice for my I 130 as well as I-129F (filed in December 07) and the approval notice stated that the case has been forwarded to the NVC. Upon ever call of mine to NVC they stated they could take anywhere from 2 weeks up to 90 days to get the documents from USCIS. Now after December 3, 2008 that it has been over 90 days NVC still has no records of my case. USCIS states that they have sent it and that I should file an I 824 petition which would cost me $340. Has anyone else experienced the same situation?? Shall I wait or go ahead and file the I 824 cause I have given both parties a hard time and they have left me with this last resort.

Hello all!

As you can see per my timeline the I-130 petition for my husband was approved 4 months ago back on September 4, 2008. So far the documents have not been recieved by NVC yet. I have contacted the sentor for Illinois in regards to the delay with the process and the caseworker responded back to me last night that when she investigated this case, USCIS has told her the case still remains with them as they have already approved the case and are now working on the background checks. She also added that there is no way for anyone to expedite the background checks.

Has anyone else experienced the same?

Also if they are now doing bacground checks, after a whole year since they got the petition and have approved it a year later, what were they doing for one whole year? AND furthermore, on what grounds have they approved the petition???

I fail to understand these people.

Any insights or similiar experiences???
unsure.gif


The basis on which they approved the petition is that you are a US Citizen without an Adam Walsh act conviction, that you and your husband were free to marry when you married and that your marriage is legal as well as there's at least a reasonable chance your marriage is bona fide. Most of the last year, your petition was sitting in a box, shelf or file cabinet waiting its turn for the next step in a multiple step process. A good portion of the sitting time was before the did anything at all besides cash the check, assign a file number and assemble a case file.

New background checks can be ordered at multiple stages of petition adjudication process at pretty much any stage after that up to and including just before and just after the visa interview.

I hope you find the answers helpful, even if you don't like them.


Well I wouldn't lie about liking the answers although I do appreciate your responding to my post.
So now, why would they write in the approval letter, that the case has been sent to the NVC and to give NVC max 90 days to recieve the case, where as they could write we have approved the case and are still working on background checks, wait for next process??

any insights? sad.gif huh.gif

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresInterview process question...
I filed for my husband while living with him from Pakistan, only difference is since I could not file DCF i simply mailed out the package from here to US and used my parents address as my permanent address there. So all the mail goes to my home address in Chicago, even though I put my present address as Pakistan and permanent as USA the USCIS people still believe I am in USA everytime i call, so these things don't really matter until you are at the interview and asked where your spouse is or was...

I would not state that your husband sent you the money, no need to get them worked up. You could fund the sources from your savings, or family support, or any other means. If the questions arises maybe at the interview, which i highly doubt, then you can clarify with the moneygram receipt, till then don't worry about it

QUOTE (ao_cons @ Feb 3 2009, 11:26 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I posted before about an inconsistency in our I-130. It's about my mother's birthplace. I'm thinking we should call NVC to have it corrected. But is there any use doing this when it's already been approved (NOA2)? I went by what's in her BC, but later found out my BC says something different and she says mine is the right one.

Do you suggest I call NVC and have it fixed? We got NOA2 on Jan 28. When should we start calling them to see if they've received the package? Also, how hard is it to get a real person to talk on the line?


I would suggest if your application has been approved, then you rather not worry about it. Unless of course they ask for an RFE which would only be confirmed by the BC. They probably won't compare these things....
You calling them might just raise unneccessary issues which area voidable, maybe someone else can shed more light on this

What others have written though about the RFE sound logical and I believe that person she spoke to at VSC has only tried to avoid work. choochoo can you try calculating the time your cousin filed and the time he got the RFE...maybe that can help you calculate yours too if you both have applied at the same service center. If not then you should call in some other time and speak to someone else or a supervisor. two people at the same office will give you different opinions...its so crazy but inshaAllaah don't worry.

Just something that I have been thinking about lately. I have been here for awhile now and finally my husband has an interview date for July 31st. biggrin.gif , BUT I have been so stressed out, anxious, and have had all sorts of emotions....about this coming to an end and finally being in the arms of my husband and starting our future together.

I sent him last week every lil piece of paper that was collected during this whole process ( yes i have made copies of what was sent to him). I just don't want any of the officers to have any reason for well ""You know"" , to give us bad news sad.gif

Of course, we are not celebrating just yet, because who knows what is going to happen on July 31st. I know that he will be put on AP, but just praying not for a long period of time, but not sure of how all of that name checking works


So, could someone please explain how the name checks work again. I think that I have read before, but idk.. I am really stressed out over this whole name check stuff. I have seen so many on AP for over 6 mths and I think to myself>> WHY SO LONG omg

I know they have to through different databases, but still that is tooo long.

For my fellow Indians as you guys know there has been some recent blasts in some cities in India especially Ahmadabad.

http://news.bbc.co.u...sia/7528088.stm

If your spouse lives in one of the cities, you can have a valid case to send an expedite request to USCIS on humanitarian grounds...that his/her life is in danger with this serial blasts.

Just an idea... not a suggestion to take advantage of the situation but its a fact if somebody's life is in danger due to bombings it calls for actions to get them out of that place ASAP.


It works if your case is compelling enough. Make it strong, pile it up with evidence, news articles and a letter that should convince USCIS to consider your case. Try it. No harm in availing an opportunity.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresGetting prepared
Rajaa the congressmen and senators cannot operate or inquire on your behalf unless you give them an official permit. This is often achieved by contacting the respective government official's office and they normally either Fax or post a form to you which you have to fill, sign and return to them. This has to do with the Privacy Act. This is all I know about the initial steps. If need be, I could ask my husband to give me complete details on how he proceeded with it but initially you have to sign and give the office approval to let them have access to your private information at USCIS.

hope this helps,
Sara.

My case was approved & sent to the embassy about a month before they updated the web site.
Read in the " Guides " what a former adjudication officer says goes on for some peace of mind.

where do I find it?

I think Ricker is referring to the main page of the USCIS' website with some questions answered by the head of USCIS... blink.gif but I could be wrong. Also Rajaa, our case has not been updated on the USCIS' website. It still shows pending.

Plz answer me for this?


Sibtain ask your wife to send you a signed I-864...both which were approved and accepted by NVC. This should be in preparation for the interview. Also, fill in the DS 230 here and sign part 1 of it and keep it with you for the interview. Check the US Embassy's website for a section called common errors. It also says that in other documents, the beneficiary has to have an original police character certificate at the time of the interview or the visa will not be issued. Please check the website under the Immigrant Visa section.

Yeah we want to go CR1.. no worries bout the spread sheet we'll all still be here when Jen gets back insha'allah, not sure what to do about the embassy...and how to get ahold of them... one person told me if Ichanged consulates it would delay our case?????

Congratulations!!! and best of luck with the NVC process.

Yes, that is the NVC's phone number. It should take them anywere from 1-7 weeks to receive your petition, so you can start calling them next week to see if they received it. All you have to do is follow the instructions the automatic system gives you and plug in your receipt number. If they received your petition, they will assign you a case number.

Thank you star_smile.gif so the Reciept number is what number???? unsure.gif sorry not sure on this one


Rajaa your receipt number should start with three letters...like WAC followed by some numbers. Yes that's NVC's number and the Automated Voice Response will guide you through. Our case reached NVC on 24th and Jen's on 25th of July even though we were approved on the same date so keep checking NVC instead of waiting weeks I would say. Also, read the CR-1 guide by Lotsofpatience which if you do not have, let me know and i'll upload it. Also check this link: http://www.visajourn...omated_Messages

And http://www.visajourn.../...rtcut&go=Go for information about E-mailing the DS-3032. Also its been seen that sending DS-3032 through gmail address gives you an instant automated response.

I think one way of going ahead with the CR-1 instead of K-3 is to ignore the I-129 and wait for the I-130 to reach NVC. know that sometimes the operators at NVC are not very clear about giving instructions so if possible, keep calling and asking at different time about the Embassy where your husband will be interviewed. you could also write to the Embassy where moroccons are directed to to get information from there.

Attached is the CR-1 Guide

Thanks everyone Thirds_Jen, Steve..SA_L, CMNB, shiri .well everyone in the May Filers...there's even a June filer JJ that wouldn't let me lose hope Thank you all!!

now time to start worrying about other things lol

Rajaa


You're most welcome Rajaa. Patiently waiting for something makes it all the more better when it actually happens. I hope Jen gets back online soon so she could add your progress on the chart. I have access to it but I do not know how to make it work. So happy for you mashaAllaah. Also, now that you have a choice between which path to take... I would say stick to the CR-1 path. Hopefully if your husband as the PR now in Spain, they could set the interview for embassy in spain or else he'll be directed to the other embassy for moroccons. All the best. Start calling NVC to find out if they have received your case.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresHyd's hubby's CR1 Visa Status...
Paris said it. It will be all right soon inshaAllaah. I Read another post by someone whose husband was interviewed at Islamabad last week and obviously he too was sent on AP and she made it sounds like it was not a big deal and that it would be over soon.

Hyd, you are in our hearts and prayers. Please don't worry. This too shall pass. Enjoy your time in Hyderabad.
