IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresINTERVIEW TOMORROW!!
QUOTE (Charles & Ai @ Jul 25 2009, 08:52 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
It has been a long long wait! We married in December 2007 and finally our interview is set for tomorrow at the Tokyo Embassy. Keep us in your prayers today and tomorrow! The only thing that could come up I think is my wifes DWI - it was 3 years ago but I have all of the supporting documents/police report/court records that we asked for and have lots of other documents too. I think because it was 3 years ago and her only offense that I think it should be okay...it must be okay. I can't imagine what we would do if there was an issue - our kid - our life...ahh! I will just pray and trust things will be okay tomorrow!



Everyone has been so much help here and I will post again tomorrow to update everyone.



Wish u the best of luck smile.gif

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresWHAT WILL YOU ANSWER??
QUOTE (Rami-Becky @ Jul 30 2009, 06:06 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I am not expert in this, but I can talk about my experience in quick marriage. I met my wife in August 30, 2007 and we got married officially in November 21,2007, and our wedding party was Feb 7 2008. According to our culture when a couple wants to get engaged, they have to singe their marriage contract in the court which means they are officially married, but not socially. So, according to my marriage contract we had a quick marriage, but it was not a big issue in the interview. The CO says " You guys got married after 2 months and half". I said "yes we get married officially after this short time because I knew from the beginning " first meeting" she is the one so does she, and we are old enough to take the right decision. We were falling in love day by day." Then, he stopped me and smiled. That was my experience. I think getting married in short time is not the issue, but how you answer to a such question. I think you do not need to memories things by hearts to answer, but just say what was the real reason of getting married from your beloved. Be simple, and talk naturally without hesitation. I hope I helped at least little bit.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedurese-mailing DS-3032 sux!
QUOTE (mikey78 @ Jun 30 2009, 07:43 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hi,

For all those that consider whether to email or snail mail their DS3032, I have some NVC processing timelines...I guess just to verify what has already been discussed. It takes NVC no less than 8-9 days just to open an email sent to NVCinquiry so that's about the time you will have to wait for your DS3032 to show up in the system. The times when it was quicker to email the form are over!

QUOTE (lgg @ Aug 7 2009, 02:05 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
So, we sent our AOS package pretty close to three weeks ago and got the call (read RFE) for the DS230 -- does this meant that they'd processed the I-864 package? I know it says 4-6 weeks for processing but I'm just curious.

Curious as in -- in what sort of time frame could one expect an RFE for that first package of Financial documentation...

Thanks all... just biding my time on a Friday afternoon before I can go home...



They did the same thing to me, Im guessing they wait for both packets both ds230 and aos be4 they tell u anything So go ahead and send the ds230 so they can start reviewing them. B/C after i sent the Aos a week latter i got an RFE and i Called to see what was up and they said oh nothing we are just waiting for your ds-230 to review your packet so i sent it and I called 2day and they told me they are now going over my case.

Yes the cover sheet does have the barcode and the address to which you have to send the ds230 and aos. If u paid online wait to you see that it is paid and on the bottom of the page u will see print out docment cover sheet, and just print them out .

I found out what was missing, NVC said it was my Original Marriage Certificate I send my original marriage certificate my husband and I are both Christian and we were married in a church and we have a certified marriage cert but I guess the NVC need local registered marriage cert. I have to call my hubsband tonight to see if he can get that or will he will have to get a letter stating that my marriage cert from our church is valid for our marriage. I hope they will reconise our wedding since we are Christian and Pakistan is a Muslim country.....


It may need to be the civil certificate not church certificate B/C church marriges are not certified by the nvc it has to be the Civil certificate " I hope u did get married by both !"

However, that was the day that the AOS Fee bill was generated. I'm a wee bit confuzzled.


Hrm - checked the online payment system, it appears they have generated the IV bill! It's current status is "NOT PAID".

Weird.


Have you paid for it yet ? If so most likely it is ready but call just to make sure I have neaver had a problem with the avr or the my checked payments but it happens sometimes they are a little slow on updated stuff if u dont wana call them try the avr monday night again.

I sent the I-130 package (with exhibits!) on Friday. Today I got a package from USCIS. I nervously opened it, and enclosed was my photo book (I spent all afternoon one day at a camera store doing this super cool book!) and a letter attached. Apparently they are unable to accept photo books! Well, they called it a photo album but that isn't what it is. So word to the wise...don't do this! Waste of time!

So...now of course they (USCIS) have zero pics of my hubby and me (except they have six binders of other stuff!). Is this a problem? I'm assuming the photo book will come handy at the NVC stage... or I'll send it to my hubby. I made two of them!

I don't understand why you have to photocopy all pages of your passport. All you need to proof US citizenship is the biographical page (the page with your pic, etc...). The other pages just prove you're either a person who doesn't travel, or someone who gets lucky and travels AND gets stamps! They don't care what countries you've been to (unless you're using that as evidence of visiting your spouse).

QUOTE (mox @ Jun 26 2009, 02:44 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
So you're arguing that it shouldn't be used as a trial period because it clogs up the system, which is not a legal argument. And certainly there's no evidence to support this claim either way (can you cite a percentage of filers who use the system in this manner?), and I could just as well argue that anyone who files clogs up the system, so maybe nobody should file, or maybe we should only limit filing from countries who have a higher likelihood of being approved. smile.gif And of course all K1's are "potentially useless case[es] of paperwork" because the non-USC always has the option of returning to his or her country anyway.


As I said, the intention to use K-1 as a trial dramatically increases the chances of the fiance(e) returning to the home country. While it is within the law, such intentional abuse of K-1 visa prolongs the wait times for other filers whose intentions are more serious. You may demagogize as much as you like that everybody in effect clogs the system, but for those who understand the notion of personal responsibility, the idea I am promoting should be quite clear.

I am absolutely not surprised that you, IIRC having worked in a gov't institution, cannot accept the idea of making responsible choices while using a government program.
