IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresVSC to NVC
QUOTE (Alli and Léo @ Oct 27 2008, 11:13 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hey everyone! My petitions were approved 10/14/08. Still NVC says that they have not received my petitions. Tomorrow it will have been 2 weeks so I will call and speak to a supervisor at the NVC. Should I also call the VSC? I am a little worried because I do not want to wait month after month only to learn that my petitions have been lost. I am seeing several people that have been approved on the same day or close to the same day at the CSC and the NVC has already received their petitions. I do not understand why I am waiting so long when my petitions only had to travel from VT to NH. Any input or advice would be greatly apprecitated as to what I should do. Also let me know what your experiences were going from the VSC to the NVC. Thanks everyone!



HI there I also was @ the VSC and was approved on 10/1/08, and just recvd my packet from NVC on 10/24/08. I called them as soon as I was approved and they can advise if they recvd it or not and your assigned case #. I would give it up 2 weeks as they have to prepare your docs with all of your case # info. Good Luck! good.gif

Congrats on your approval good.gif dancin5hr.gif

If you simply submit the NVC payment for the AOS I-1864 this will trigger the path you want to pursue with the NVC. I had the same issue was approved for both I-130 I-129 but just started the journey for the CR1 and did not have any issues~

QUOTE (PK and PK @ Sep 15 2009, 12:37 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hi All,
My interview was scheduled at Mumbai Consulate @ 7.30am today. Was there at 6.45am. they start taking you in only at 7am and doesnt make a difference how early you've come there as you are called for the interview only on random basis. no particular order.
Finished fingerprints by 7.45am and was called for the 1st interview at 8am. it was an Indian guy who handed me back the original documents. Then asked for my Passport and then the following questions:
1. Passport still holds maiden name.
2. Are you still working? and as what?
3. Is husband a gree card holder or a citizen?
4. When did he get his citizenship?
5. Have you been to the US before?
6. When was husband last here in India? and for how many days?
7. When you work here how has husband included your income in the tax filing there?
He then asked me to wait outside till called for the Interview.
So my 1st Interview was done by 8.05am but then had to wait till 12.45pm for name to be called for the 2nd interview.

Was an American lady. very polite and had a smile throughout.
Asked me whether i am comfortable with English. I said yes. She then said i need to take an Oath and then asked me to sign the for (Part II of DS 230). Then asked me the following questions:
1. When did you get married?
2. Was it a love or arranged marriage?
3. How did you meet your husband?
4. Have you travelled with your husband to the US?
5. Did you always want to marry a US citizen?
6. How is husband including your income in tax filings there? --> i said we have filed taxes post consulting a tax consultant and pas a part of this process i have also got an ITIN number.
She then smiled and said 'Your Visa has been issued and will be sent to you thru courier'. I then asked her whether i could collect it today evening from the VFS. she said there was a backlog and no chances of getting it the same day and suggested to wait till i get it through Courier.
But i didnt want to wait another 2-3 days to get it. So reached the VFS at 3.45pm. they handover passports to IV applicants on the same day betn 4.30 to 5pm. At 4.45 they took us in and got the packet in hand. was advised by teh VFS oifficer not to open the sealed yellow packet and that shud be submitted at the POE. Came out checked my Passport and was so happy to see the Visa stamped on it smile.gif

Overall it was a nice experience except for the long wait. Consider myself lucky that the 2nd interview was completed within 5 mins and was not asked for any evidences like documents / photographs.

Thanx to all in Visa Journey for the valuable inputs provided.



Congrats !!! dancin5hr.gif thanks so much for sharing!

Dear Mrs Hamilton...i'm sorry to hear about this. Believe me ....very sorry.

Sorry more to report our denial as well. Several problems.....on the denial letter, they checked the box for 212(a)(1)..health related grounds, nothing more. (!????????????????????????) on another form, a BLUE SLIP.... they ask him to return with police certificate box checked and at the bottom handwritten: I-601, 2 G325a forms, hardship letter "suggested joint sponsor earning 70K+". that request makes me think they thought he was applying for his 2 17year old sons, which he is not doing....they'll be 18 before this is ever completed. SO...we wonder about the medical report, very worried....as he had to have a blood transfusion during the past year....also, the people at the Hope clinic are not cool..don't trust them, don't trust the report they sent, and since they won't provide copies to us...we are now retesting with a private doctor...God be merciful that they have made some grievous errors!! Still waiting on the expunged police record...for what it's worth.

So, i'm with you girl...and thinking of my next trip ASAP , and maybe TO hell with this whole "coming to America' ####### and go live with the love of my life ...cause it's all too short to give it all up to the bureaucrats.

So....here's a tip: Check out my friend D-Major on you tube...great song called Real Friends. Makes me feel good, makes me appreciate each of you out there on your journeys....most much happier than me and SisMrsH....Big up mi real friends! Trod on...............culture1

Did you just say, "last used Weed"? I hope that doesn't mean what I think it does.

I know this is hard but you need to be clear if you want help and you need to be honest so that people can be of use to you and hopefully use any of your pitfalls and resolutions thereof, to aid their own cases.

We help you to help us, you know?

Wait, I'm confused...was it a questionable relationship denial or an overstay/illegal presence denial. OP, please redact the words of the letter that your husband was given at the time of the denial.

-P


I am being honest, at the time of the medical, he was asked had he ever smoked marjana ( sorry about the spelling ) he said yes, over two years ago, he stoped do to a medical condtion. he drug test came back clean, but on the medical form, it stated that applicant last used 06/2009.. which it should have read last used 08/2007


he is saying the forms says... applicant last used weed 06/2009

mrs hamilton.. i am soooo sorry honey.. i can't believe this. pls get as many details from ur husband as possible so u can know how to take action.. if it truly is weed, right now its sounds like a 3 year ban.. rose.gif



yes that is what they said, come back in 2012

It was always expressed expecially over VJ the Do's and the Don'ts; Answering yes to the use of drugs is a Don't. If he stop smoking over 2 years ago, how are they going to know unless he tells them. Sorry for your pain, but it seems that he wont get another chance until 3 years down the road.



I am so sorry to read this Mrs Hamilton, the ban for drug use is extremely serious. Of course do your due diligence to pursue options but honestly I do not think there are at this time Immigration is is very clear on this subject. I am truly sorry sis. rose.gif
