We actually mailed in December this form 7001 to ombus. with questions like
Why our case was closed ? and after a month my hubby got the letter with the answer that all questions we should sent to USCIS. I don't want to bother my hubby to scan this letters, he get anxious when he only hear the word USCIS. Kind of alergy reaction.

I try to sent email to USCIS with inquiry.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionBirth cartificate problem!help
QUOTE (Joanna&Bobby @ Feb 26 2008, 11:00 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Someone was talking here about long version of the birth certificate. Mine is the short one, but it states: my birth date, place of birth, names and occupations of my parents (when I was born). Is that going to be enough or do they want to know where my parents were born as well? I am confused!

Actually I have in front of me mine Polish full version of BC and it includes date and place of my parents birth.
I think it might be a problem if you have short version. At Warsaw anyway, dunno in Dublin. Why not play safe.
Ask someone(mam,dad) to go to urzedu cywilnego where you were born. Mine was ready in 10 minutes, and ask for overnight shipment to you.
Good luck on interview smile.gif

US Embassy and Consulate Discussiontetanus/diphteria vaccine for pregnant women?
MNIETO
those are only my sugestions- if you haven't done your vaccines already.

You may determine level for TD antibodies first and then decide if you need only a booster or all new TD vaccine.
Also maybe try to avoid doing TD vaccine AND (HAVaccine+HBVac.) in the same week just for not "overwhelming" organism.

And of course CONGRATULATIONS smile.gif

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionCO not convinced of genuine relationship
I also agree flying over there might be very helpful in this case.

What I don't understand is why you can't just refile the 10 pounds of evidence you already have on your hands for them to actually READ it this time. Did she not want to look at it because she immediately assumed it would be useless to her? Does that mean you can't rely on the data you already have accumulated?

One more possibility, and I've seen them here on VJ - get married and file for CR1. Although I'm sure this is your last resort as this would delay your process by a year probably.

Good luck to you. I will keep my fingers crossed, sincerely. My husband (petitioner) is 10 years older than me and it's also something I'm worried about.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresHelp wtih I134
Yes, use the I134 form that is available online at the USCIS website. We didn't get this form from the embassy and I guess your embassy will also not send you one. Just print out the form from the website.

And yes - packet 3 is sent to your spouse that lives outside of the US.

Good luck!!!

So, we decided that my fiance would send the correct form to me again. It is better not to risk having the form with some error.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionDS-156 form help?
Hi, we applied for the K1 visa and I am waiting for the packet 4 from the embassy. smile.gif In the meantime I started filling the form DS-156 and have some questions: helpsmilie.gif

1) question #26 "How long do you intend to stay in the US?" - should I write 'Forever' or what?

2) question #32 "Do you intend to work in the US?" (If 'Yes', give the name and complete address of US employer) - hmmm, don't know how to answer, because YES I intend to work there. Of course it is not the main purpose of why I go there. First of all we will get married and after getting my work permission will look for a job. Any advice what to write there?

3) question #33 "Do you intend to study in the US?" (If 'Yes', give the name and complete address of the school) - similar like the question above. I was thinking about maybe taking some course there, but yet don't know when and what kind. I guess it is the best to state 'No' then. What do you think?

Would be really grateful if anyone could help me with this form. yes.gif Thank you all in advance and good luck with your process. biggrin.gif

In my opinion you do not have to pay any duty for your ring. It is the personal thing that was a gift. Moreover how will they know that you didn't have this ring on your finger while coming to the US? Correct me people if I am wrong, but I think this is crazy to pay duty for the engagement ring you got from your fiance. jest.gif

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionDomicile Question
Thanks a lot for all the info. Does anyone know how to open a bank account online from abroad? If there's a way then I have to do it.

Also, is it possible to register to vote online, or would I have to be in the states?
Justin&AlicyaMalePoland2012-07-20 15:09:00
US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionDomicile Question
Hi everyone!

The interview for my wife is coming up fast! I'm living in Poland with my wife, waiting with her until she gets the visa. I'm not working here nor am I registered here. I'm here on a tourist visa. When the NVC completed our case, they said we still need to bring proof of domicile to the interview. We're having trouble acquiring much proof of this. So far what we have is my flight itinerary for Aug. 12th, and a letter from my brother stating that we will be living with him until we get on our feet. I don't have a bank account right now because they closed it due to inactivity. I tried opening one with no success because I'm not present in the US. I'm not sure how seriously they take a flight itinerary as proof that I intend to live in USA for the "Foreseeable Future". Our argument on this is that I'm only here because my wife's here, and we couldn't stand to be apart for more than a couple months. All of my family is waiting for us to finally get to the US, the only problem is it's hard to prove that. I've read a bunch of other threads about the domicile question, and there aren't many things that I read about that I can do in my situation.

Here are my questions:
1. Do you think what I have is enough?

2. Is there a way that I can prove that I'm not registered here?
-I was thinking maybe she could show them my passport with the tourist visa stamp or maybe they have a way of checking if I'm registered here.

3. Should I register to vote?


If anyone has some advice on this, or knows from experience whether or not we should try to get more evidence, please let me know!!
We're stressing out about this because if she doesn't get the visa approved on the 2nd then we'll have to be separated again until they approve it :(

Thanks in advance!!

On 7.45 a.m I called to NVC(keep in mind 2.45p.m at Poland) to confirm the reason of my recent RFE.
AND
probably because the operator(lady)souds sleepy I got some information.
She told me as soon as they received mail from S. Louis facility( if one's got RFE) they TRY to rewiew it ASAP.
I really wish it were truth.

Thanks.


After they entered in my RFE, the message changed to something along the lines of they had received my checklist response and I would be notified of the outcome in 6-8 weeks. About a week after that the message changed to "Case complete".

You could also talk to an operator and see if they will give you an info

Same thing like Amberlynn said.
