IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresDOES IT MEAN MY PETITION BEEN APPROVED?

Oh, I was also confused initially with USCIS site :devil:

Now USCIS is history for you.

Basically, you are not able to sign in in NVC payment portal. This is called NVC SIF. This is good indication that your case at NVC is almost completed. Now talk to the NVC operator when is the Case completion happens. Once CC is done, NVC will schedule your interview date in 1 to 2 weeks time.

I think Manila Consulate gets interviews in 1 to 1.5 months time after NVC case completion, now-a-days.

I was also confused as friends who applied the same keep telling me to check in USCIS but I keep telling them that we are already in NVC. Thanks for clearing this up. I can still sign-in to NVC payment portal but now I am wondering why NVC keep telling my husband to check my email all the time? They said they sent a package to my husband (they told him that 3 weeks ago) until now havent received them yet. Do u have any idea what they sent him? They also said that all papers are in and no problem at all... but I am still worried about it.

If the NVC has sent your husband "something" then you are no longer with the USCIS but at the NVC stage. Are you waiting for your NOA2?


Halo, done with NOA2 already... we are waiting for the interview date. Been trying to sign-in to check our case but could not get through. Everybody told me that once you cant sign-in... petitions approved already but want to make sure. Do u know where to check the case status online aside from USCIS?

It unfortunately doesn't mean anything except the software glitch in the USCIS website.

Thanks Loto! Tried 10x today not really working.... is there any other way for us to find out if the papers been approved? Coz i dont know now where to check our case. NVC said they'd sent package to my hubby but not sure what it is. They're not saying anything....

Please check your receipt number and try again. If you need further assistance, please call the National Customer Service Center at 1.800.375.5283." Put down 10x but still could not get through... does it mean d petition been approved? Thanks!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresVisa processing at the Manila US Embassy

Happy New Year everyone! My interview was scheduled on February 01, 2011. My husband is now planning to book an airline ticket for me within this week. I told him it might not be a good idea. We should wait after my interview. But he said, booking a ticket earlier will save us $$. Is it really a good idea for my hubby to book a ticket for me already? He's planning for my flight on February 14 ( Valentines Day here in Philippines so that when I arrived there in US it's Valentines Day there. I know my husband is really excited to be with me again. 0) After my interview, how long am I going to wait for my visa? I read here it's 7-10 days. But some said it took them a month? I hope not that long....



Not a good idea. I had my interview last Jan 7, 2011 for CR-1 but until now havent received my visa yet. Still waiting.....

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDid you include snail mail letters with your petition?

Hey guys, hope all is well out there. My fiancee and I met a year and two months ago online. We finally met in person this past May for our 1st Anniversary of dating. We have plenty of emails, chat logs, a few monetary support receipts, and several gift receipts to prove of a relationship. Of course, I have all the documents for my visit as well. The problem is that I really didn't know what to expect when we met, and we really didn't treat our relationship as a court case as I am sure many of you can relate. We simply were going with the flow of our honest intentions toward each other. Now, I have done immense research into the K1 petitioning process, and I am learning of all the nuggets of information that will help. Mostly, thanks for the website! I know I need to start a timeline when submitting my evidence to make the case neat and give a timeframe window to the ones in charge. However, I did not communicate much through my phone other than texts, and I did not send any hard copy letters. Neither did she. After learning how valuble they can be, I began using my phone to make calls to her, and we are both going to begin sending letters. Now, if I showed evidence of our relationship, but they notice that there are no letters or phone calls or not much monetary support for the first year out of two or three years, would this be any kind of problem? Has anyone sent in a petition without snail mail proof or only shown snail mail and phone calls from later in the relationship as opposed to the beginning? Thanks for your time!



In the initial application as what my friends shared with me... they sent proof of evidence together with the form. If the uscis will need more they will send RFE and you have a week or two to send them what they need. Pictures, mails, chat logs etc.... as what they said are secondary (but still needed to be shown on her interview). What they are looking for is a proof that you can take care of your fiancee when she gets to your place. (ITR, payslip etc... )

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 Visa Birth Certificate Problem
I have the same case but this never was my problem. All the papers that u will submit (including ur BC) is about you. If theres nothing wrong with your birth cert., and ur using ur moms name as middle name and ur dads name as last name. Ur good to go. U will just have problem if ur other supporting docs like ID's, passport, etc.... is different from your birth cert. :)
