K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsdos vers officer
if your visa was approved and they wanted you to go back to the embassy to bring the original documents, the US Embassy in my country will approve your visa in 3 business day and after you sent the doc in person, they will give you another white slip so you can pick up your visa.. well they've seen the copy of your doc before and the only difference is they want the original instead of copy... but it depends on the consulate you go to..just call / e-mail them again in 3 days or 1 week.. because as far as i know the embassy usually won't tell you if your visa already been issued :bonk: :bonk: you have to call them..it happens to my friends :wacko:

but if your visa status is in AP you'll never know when they will issued your visa..

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI-130 Final Checklist
i think it's best if you submit the form G-1145 :) i know it's optional but if you fill that form you will get notification by e-mail and SMS when you got NOA1 or NOA2 before USCIS send the hardcopy by airmail..believe me you need it

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresDS-230

Hi VJ Friends,

We are about to mail the DS-230 and got a bit of confusion regarding the documents to send.
I've read on one of the thread, the civil docs required to be sent along with DS230 are :

- Bar-coded cover sheet from payment portal
- Two passport-style photographs (2" x 2") of beneficiary (on the back, write: beneficiary's full name, date of birth, and case number)
- Copy of bio-data page of beneficiary's unexpired passport
- Original or Certified Copy of beneficiary's birth certificate, PLUS A PHOTOCOPY
- Original or Certified Copy of marriage certificate, PLUS A PHOTOCOPY
- Original police certificate(s) (Not required from my country Indonesia according to the embassy websites)

So my questions are :

- The photographs, do I need to take a new one or is it ok if we just sent the first one when we sent the one at first packet?

For The birth certificate & Marriage certificate, trust this is the translated one, we have sent them the original translated one which is being certified at the first time we sent the I130, do we still need to send them again ? it means just the copy since the first original translated already been sent, is this necessary ?

Thanks all for your kind help.

Regards,



Hallo Mba Mimin Rustin..i just sent the IV Bill and my case is complete now

for the photo, you need to take a new one because the photo is valid until 6 months
for the birth certificate and marriage certificate, i sent the original documents , along with the translations..yes you need to send it again..i asked the translator if they can send me a new copy with a stamp on it and they sent me a new one, but of course i have to pay again..since i already asked them before..they charged me for Rp. 60.000 Rupiah for both of them :)..i didn't send the police record to NVC ..

Good Luck :dance: :dance:

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresFeeling OVERWHELMED!
congrats :dance: :dance: can you add your timeline??
you can call them in 7-10 business days and ask if NVC received your I-130... the operator will give you the information..
Jason and ShifaMaleIndonesia2012-08-27 20:14:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresNO response

call USCIS after sending all required documents in RFE...i would say call them after 14 days or every 30 days..wish you a good luck..


:thumbs: :thumbs:

call USCIS after they got your RFE documents ..but my friend took about 3 weeks from RFE to NOA2 and her I-130 at CSC
Good Luck :star:

if you want to print your photos it's best to use hi gloss 4X6 printer photos, it's clear and better image :) ..organize and separate every section by paper clip, use manila envelope for documents..actual photos are good and they will be returned to you after interview

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedurescr1 interview requirements.
IMO just bring the docs they asked you to bring written on your interview e-mails..
when i got my interview, i just need to bring my Medical Exam result..
but every embassy has their own rules
Good luck on your interview :thumbs:
Jason and ShifaMaleIndonesia2012-10-21 22:27:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI have a question
when you filed the I 130, the beneficiary only send the passport photos 5x5,fill the form of G 325A and copy of marriage certificate with english translation..but the petitioner needs to send Copy of the full Birth certificate (front and back) for the US Citizen or a copy of ALL pages of the US Citizen's passport.
Forms Needed to File for a IR-1 / CR-1 Visa you can check on this link : http://www.visajourn...tent/i130guide1

the beneficiary birth certificate will be need it when you filed IV package at NVC stage..it's best to send the original birth certificate instead of the certified birth certificate and send it with english translation..if you want to send the certified birth certificate on your IV package, don't forget to bring the original at the interview :)
Good Luck :star:

hallo :)
congrats on your marriage :dance:
you have to apply CR1 Visa but like everybody else you have to wait after you applied the I 130 :(
K3 is obsolete..you can try it but at NVC stage they will change your K3 with CR1 Visa
Good Luck
