IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	I130 and Change of Status question	she could have changed her status when she was still in the US ... I don't think she can adjust status now that you have already filed the I-130.... she should be able to visit you in the US though as long as she brings along enough ties to Canada... like mortgage papers, a letter from an employer etc...

She told the POE officer how long we had been married, and requested an IR-1 visa. The POE officer told her that since we were not living together for all of the 2 years and 2 months of the marriage, she could not get the IR-1 visa. He gave her a CR-1 visa.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Bringing spouse from Canada to US...confused about procedures	QUOTE A few weeks after you have sent your petition to the USCIS you will receive a Notice of Action (aka NOA) letter indicating that they have begun processing your I-130 application. When your I-130 petition is finally approved, the service center that processed your petition, will send you another Notice of Action letter indicating your approval, and the forwarding of your approved petition to the National Visa Processing Center the NVC will send your relative a packet of forms that you and your relative must fill out before your relative can be given an interview date with a consulate abroad. After the NVC receives the above forms and supporting documents (which may not all be required to mail back at that time), an interview date will be scheduled for the intending immigrant at a consulate abroad. The NVC will send your relative a letter indicating at what time and day the interview is scheduled for, and of required forms that must be brought to the interview. you might want to read here for more info.... http://www.visajourn...page=i130guide1 QUOTE (l3tranger @ Jan 28 2008, 11:53 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Oh! Thanks for clearing that up. So since I got my receipt, I just wait for I-130 to be approved. When that is, I'll be receiving another notice saying that it is approved, will that be my ticket to enter USA? Also, will there be a medical or biometrics or anything like that involved? Or an interview? What happens now that i got my receipt? Is it still worth the effort to submit I-129F?

Simple questions, I know! lets say your interview is before 3/16/2009 but you enter the US with your visa after 3/16/2009, you need to tell the immigration officer that you have been married for over 2 years and show them your marriage certificate and you should get the 10 year card.....

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Activating visa question..	QUOTE (pushbrk @ Mar 3 2008, 08:00 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE (happilycontent @ Mar 2 2008, 09:09 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So I'm expecting my visa in the next 5 days at least that's what I was told at my interview, when I was approved. We're (my husband and I) 3 months short of our 2nd wedding anniversary, hence the CR-1. I've seen a lot of people giving other people advice to wait until their 2nd wedding anniversary passes to activate thier visa, (if possible) as it's less hassle, and that, at that point you can get your 10yr GC, etc. Is this true? Has anyone personally done that, and been granted? I just called CBP and asked someone with immigration about that and he said that it doesn't matter how long you've been married they go by what visa you were given. I'm very confused.. We both decided that we'd wait to activate it, since we're only 3 hours apart and see each other every week, but there's obviously no point in waiting if you just end up getting the temporary 2 yr visa and have to fill out the I-751 + whatever else, and I don't want to be away from my husband all for nothing.. Someone enlighten my please!! CBP is the wrong place to ask. USCIS issues green cards. If you enter using the CR1 visa after your two-year wedding anniversary, you are entitled to a 10 year green card. Usually, just mentioning it at the border will do the trick but some have had to correspond with USCIS to get a two-year card replaced with a ten year one. There definitely are people who have done this. Perhaps some will respond with their personal experience. Based on my experience, I think it's always best to know what you're entitled at the border and make sure you get it. In our case, the incompetent officer left the sealed packet in my wife's possession instead of taking it and then stamped the I-94 with an entry date of August 39. It was a real pain to get all that straightened out when the nearest USCIS office or POE is 150 miles away. Removal of conditions fee is now, $625 including biometric fee. actually it is.... $465 (plus $80 biometric service fee) for a total of $545 http://www.uscis.gov...00045f3d6a1RCRD Edited by MarilynP, 03 March 2008 - 01:42 PM.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	?? Q's- Why CR1 after 3.5 yrs? & work permit?	QUOTE (twincactus @ May 8 2008, 11:03 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Marilyn, It is highly unusual not to get the SS card if you check the box. Yes, it has happened to ONE person on our forum, but most everyone else has gotten theirs. Secondly, the POE is NOT the place to get an IR-1 visa. When you have your CR-1 appt, if you have been married over two years they are supposed to give you an IR-1. It pays to remind them however. Most times if you are even close to two years, if you let them know, they will give you the IR-1. It's up to the Consul. We have verified this with Chief Consul William Bent. He is on our website and answers submitted questions every week. umm, on this forum it is more then just one person who has not got their SSN even if they checked the box .... and secondly if in between the time you have the interview and the time you get to the POE you have your second anniversary you should tell the immigration person at the POE so you can be processed for a 10 year card....

Your husband should definitely have gotten an IR1 when he entered. Does he have his physical green card already? If not, then perhaps you can make an INFOPASS and ask the USCIS records to be corrected to show that he is an IR1 and not a CR1. IR1 is a visa. It goes in the passport before entering the US. Yes, from my reading, the visa should have been an IR1, not a CR1. However, it may ultimately not matter in the least. What happens with a CR1 visa when the entry occurs after the two-year anniversary is the same as what happens with an IR1, in that the green card issued is good for ten years instead of two. Once that ten year green card is in hand, the visa category is meaningless. A CR1 visa does not EVER become an IR1 visa, but both can result in a ten year green card. Ah yes but you are forgetting that lifting conditions in two years costs about $600 and requires more paperwork and also ultimately approval. they should make the infopass appt and try to get it straightened out.

At least then we would have waited 3 months together during the long process! We also arranging a trip for Jamal to come to the UK when I get back too! We've been living together for a year and been in the same country for 2 so we are trying to keep the time apart as little as possible!!! This is exactly what i did, To avoid any lengthy timeframe, Applying for a K-1 Visa whilst your in the US with your loved one, That would be your partner filing the I-129f whilst you are in the US, Fly back to your home country, But you can NOT go back to the US until you have the K-1 Visa approved and in hand, But your partner CAN visit you in the meantine. I have read and heard that you can get married with a tourist visa (90 day stay) in the US, But has lead to complications, Do the right thing and the authorities will not question what your favourite breed of dog is!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Crossing the border... Risky?	My fiance was planning on coming to the US from Japan last August using a student visa but was rejected under section 214-B. This is the section that says the she couldn't prove that she wasn't intending to immigrate. We are now trying for a fiance visa but it is looking like it's gonna take something like 8 months for the whole procedure and we don't want to be apart for that long (I'm back in the US now, she's still in Japan). Our plan was that she could come over in the middle and visit me for up to 90 days on the visa waiver program. We were thinking she could fly into Canada and we could try to cross together. Usually, if you've been rejected a visa then you are no longer eligible to use the VWP, however, people who were rejected under section 214-B are still eligible. This leads me to my two questions: 1. I was told that if you have been barred entrance to the US twice, then you are banned automatically from entering for the next five years. If she gets rejected at the border, does this count as two strikes? The first time was at a consulate in Osaka, Japan. Would her getting turned away just once at the border be risky if she has never been turned away at the border before? (This is important!! Her getting banned from the US for five years would be HORRIBLE!) 2. Would getting turned away at the border after already being turned down for a student visa hurt our chances of getting a fiance visa? I want to see my fiance but I don't want to do anything that could jeopardize our long-term chances. I would especially love to hear from anyone who was rejected under 214-B and their experiences but anyone who wants to chime in would also be appreciated. Thanks so much in advance! She needs new passport to enter US. When she is here under VWP marry her after 60 days, not sooner and don't bother with K1 woah buddy... that would be illegal... you can't come to the US without the appropriate visa with the intentions of getting married and then stay in the US just to clarify before someone jumps on my answer you can come to the US and get married and then go back to your home country or if you come to the US and then once here you decide to get married you can apply for adjustment of status...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	How deal with parents who talk guilt?	It really seems like her parents are majorly overcontrolling, I think she needs to fuss it up and tell them outright "Look i'm getting married, that's all there is to it, and you can't control my life anymore." I don't think anything will change from the way it is now until she does that to be honest. If she doesn't stick up for herself and tell them to stop being so controlling over her life, because it's her life to live, then they will keep trying to live it for her. Ontop of that though, if she is working full-time etc and her parents don't agree she should be paying for her own wedding. She shouldn't leave buying the dress up to your parents. And as far as the car not being insured, why wasn't she paying for her own insurance instead of relying on her parents to do so? In most states its a law to be insured before driving a vehicle. I really don't think she should feel selfish though for trying to make her own life. I suppose it'll be easier once you've moved over and can actually reassure her that she's doing the right thing when she first tells her parents no she won't do something for them. I understood it, that the girl's mom didn't insure her own car... they just expect her to pay the ticket... Edited by MarilynP, 05 January 2007 - 08:48 AM.	Marilyn.	Female	Canada	2007-01-05 08:47:00

I think she is talking about the above post... it is kind of a grey area because it really isn't lying but it isn't telling the exact truth either...	Marilyn.	Female	Canada	2009-02-01 20:04:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Applied for I 751, moved to NY after first greencard	I would file the online Ar-11 and the I-865 (which you have to mail in) now but I don't think the fact that you didn't do the change of address will affect your petition because you put your new address on the forms... sometimes it just takes awhile to get the notices etc.. and you have been only waiting a few weeks..

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Proof of address	QUOTE (rlt @ Apr 17 2009, 07:59 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE (*Marilyn* @ Apr 16 2009, 05:59 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> that list is suggestions not requirements.. all I would do is include a letter stating that you live with family.. or maybe have her parents write a letter stating that you live with them... We do not live with her folks. They own the house, and we rent it from them. They live in a different house in the same city. I wonder if other proof of address such as documents, bills, pay stubs, etc will make it up for not having a lease contract. Thank you so much for replying. oops.... you could still get them to write a letter saying you rent the house from them..	Marilyn.	Female	Canada	2009-04-17 14:23:00
