IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedureswhats is the next step?
Hello guys. Im Newbie here. I just need some little advice or any of you who got an interview date already this month or next. I was just a little bit confused, we paid already the 88$ for AOS and 404$ for IV, and it stated there on payment status was both "PAID"
and we already sent the DS-230 and some impt.docs by Mail last 22nd of Nov 2010. Till now we dont have any emails yet or any advice what will be the next step, do we need to call the NVC (very busy line) for our schedule of intervew and med.exam? or we will just have to wait there email for what will be the next thing to do. Thank you for the time reading this. =)

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresHas anyone gotten approved with an Email saying transferred to USCIS office and under Initial Review
hello.
it was happened to be like that also on mine before, May 12 2010 Under "Initial Review", second touch was 17th of May (still initial review), and then the third touch was 06 Oct.which was Under " post decision activity" at last!
('twas a long wait, but worth it!, it took 5months at the USCIS) Now our case is already at the NVC and still waiting patiently.
Good luck to us... patience-is all we need this time.

Hello everyone!

I am just a bit worried about our case now at NVC.
We sent the DS-230 last 22Nov. And from the date we sent our ds-230 Package till now we havent talk yet to any NVC operator or even at the AVR, it is very hard to get ahold with them, there line is super busy, we dont know whats the best timing to call with them =( too. We emailed also to them just to inquire if our case was entered but sadly they didnt respond us yet.
I dont know if our case was entered at the nvc already.
Is it necessesary to call them and ask if our case was entered at nvc system? Or we will just have to wait there email or for our SIF.
I was just little bit worried but we keep on trying to communicate with them.
Thanks for reading. Thank you.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresWHERE TO CHECK THAT BUSSINES "SIGN IN FAILED"?

i see frequently that bussines sign in failed. what is this? what that mean? where to check for ours?


Mmmm.. do you have your nvc case number already? whats the status of your case now? ^-^
melissa_endrieFemalePhilippines2010-12-14 06:23:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresWHERE TO CHECK THAT BUSSINES "SIGN IN FAILED"?
through this site http://www.travel.st...c/nvc_1335.html look for online payment click on it, and then click again for online fee payment, you can see Immigrant Visa Invoice Payment Center,sign in your nvc case number and your invoice i.d number, if you can still see your payment status as "paid" meaning your case is still on the nvc and still on process (or under review again **sigh**pending), if you can't sign in and it respond as 'sign in failed' meaning that your case is closed(or finished) already at the nvc and already forwarded to the respective u.s embassy of country where your hubby live, and after SIF, the CC (case complete) will be follow and then schedule for interview and med.exam.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresplease say something about this =/
my hubby called the nvc today, he got pissed when he talked one of the arrogant operator there. for some reasons they got argued and throwing up nasty words. ((sigh))
i just wished he didnt said anything, but he's out of control and get mad about the non accomodating staff at nvc.
now, im a little bit worried, it might affect our papers or what? maybe they put our case at the back list, or maybe helps to speed it up?
=(
melissa_endrieFemalePhilippines2010-12-18 06:10:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresPlease any advice or comments on our RFE =/
We called nvc the this week and they informed us that we got an RFE. So we provide all docs that they wanted from us,
we sent the original marraige contract and benificiary's original birth certificate on last thursday via express mail and probably nvc got it on friday (i hope)
TODAY, i got an email from nvc it was 3 pages a CHECKLIST, A COVER LETTER with under the bar code is CHECKLIST LETTER RESPONSE, and an INSTRUCTIONS telling us to provide the RFE, which is actually we already sent few days ago regarding original Marraige and birth.
Now, on there email they type like this "Please include a copy of this letter with your correspondence and write your case number clearly on the upper right-hand corner of all the documents" which is WE FAILED to do it.
We just knew about our RFE through phone that's why we took an action right away on the same day we talked the nvc.
I was so confused and worried again, my husband used the cover letter(with a bar code) which they sent to us a month ago (thats the first cover letter they emailed to us). As a major and constant Instructions, He put the cover letter on top of the original documents and sent it right away.
My question is are we on the safe side? or maybe expecting an RFE again because of failing to do there delayed instructions?
Thank you for reading my concern and really appreciated your idea or comments from this.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresWhat Actually is Expedited??

It requires a letter from your doctor stating
your medical condition is severe and you are
in need of your wife to assit you with your
daily living and your inability to live and get
around on your own.
You can also request hekp from your Senator
with a request release form submitted to them.

If they see a need for your disability and your
request is valid they will and can approve your
case to be expedited.
Also if you have a HARDSHIP renendering your
spouses need to help you can file for this also
Than its to the descretion of the USCIS to approve
your claim.

Good Luck



Hello there! thanks for the info's
Do you think its not too late to ask for an expedite on our case? Our case was almost 2 months on NVC and we just got an RFE last week and they said it will be 20days after and they will send us a notice,hopefully not an RFE again, I was a bit worried and frustrated this time my husband will have a second surgery on his shoulder probably this febuary. I was hoping to be with him before his second surgery. Do you think they will approve it when we request for an expedite for our case?
Any comments or suggestion is appreciated. Thank you =)

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresAny comments or suggestion about my husband I-864
I am organizing (again) my documents today and I just found out :bonk: my husbands affidavit of support (I-864)that he sent to me has an "Erasures", my husband misspelled my name Part 2 of #2 and Part 3 of #9a(since all info was done and computerized) he just used a ballpen and put a 2 lines on my wrong spelling name and wrote above my correct name (by ballpen)and directly sent to me without any second thought :no:
I dont know if I will continue to use this I-864 during my interview at the u.s embassy, or will request another copy to my hubby and send it to me asap, I am so curios :( will this be a big deal to u.s embassy?

p.s I dont have schedule for Interview yet.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresSIF and CC on Jan 11!

So relieved to get SIF and to hear on the AVR that case is closed.
The message on the AVR say there's no customer rep today due to the weather so hopefully I'll get to talk to someone tomorrow.

I'm still hoping for a february or march interview date because I dont think they have a huge backlog in Dublin

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresInterview Preparation
Hello everyone! Good day!
I will be having my Interview at the U.S Embassy Manila this coming Friday (Feb.18th)
I'm a little bit nervous though very excited, mixed emotions and everything (negatives and positives)
Anyway, here are the documents that I will bring during my Interview.
Please help me.... any suggestions, comments, advices or recommendations is Very Very Highly Appreciated.

* Appointment letter
* Beneficiary Birth Certificate (NSO Authenticated)
* Marriage Certicifate (NSO Authenticated)
* CENOMAR
* Certificate of Marriage ( Advisory on Marriages NSO Authenticated)
* NBI
* Police Clearance Certificate ( U.A.E )
* Affidavit of Support I-864 and I-134
* Husband Income Tax Return 2007, 2008, 2009

* Proof of Relation (Pictures, letters, Cards, Money Transfer Receipts, E-mails, Chat logs and Hubby's Telephone Bills (February 2010 and January 2011 phone bill only)

Additional docs.

* Husband Birth Certificate (photocopy only)
* Divorce Decree
* Husband Passport (photocopy only)


I also photocopy and bring some of my valid ID's and my School Transcript of Records just in case.


Another thing is My husband sent me his 1040 tax and his W2 for the year 2010 via E-mail (scan & print), and since it was not included on the package that we sent to the NVC last year ago I've decided not to show it during my interview, but I will bring it also just in case if they will ask about it ( Is it a wise move or not?? )



Please... Anybody who are through or done with the interview please give me any advice about my documents. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!
and God bless...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow long apart?
I've never seen my husband for almost 10 Months already, Long distance is killing us. We only shared two amazing weeks together here in philippines, and since the day he went away, half of my life is missing. I just tried my self to keep busy and as much as possible fighting the depression.
But believe me, as long as the process is done and we will be in our loved ones arms again, this long wait worth it!
stay strong! =)
