CaribbeanMarrying a Jamaican

For the most part my family and friends have been supportive of me and my fiancee but I did here a few negative/discouraging comments. I just ignored them. My Chinese fiancee also went through the "stereotypes" with her friends. People are the same everywhere. Follow your heart!

ChinaInterview Scheduling

To anyone who wants to schedule an appointment:

 

Tell your fiancee to join this QQ group: 82977653

 

Currently there are about 18 girls on there. The more people there are, the closer they can all begin monitoring the site for appointments. Based on observation, appointments will likely be available end of this month and/or beginning of next month.

 

The girls in the QQ group are now getting their schedule together so they can decide who will take which shift. Have your fiancee join and start participating. The more motivated, reliable people we have, the better.

 

 

Thanks, My fiancee joined yesterday.

ChinaAnyone having trouble looking up GUZ case number?

When I got my GUZ number I was getting Invalid number but then I realized I selected NONIMMIGRANT visa type instead of IMMIGRANT VISA(IV) for K-1.

ChinaA Bit Confused

So, we got ourselves on US traveldocs, got to the point where we received the cgi number.  Which she will take to the bank, I'm hoping still tomorrow.. I reverified our GUZ number with the CEAC website... here is what was shown... now....  

 

 

So do we still pay and get ready for the interview, or do we (for the billionth time) stay in a holding pattern?

 

It makes no sense to put us in a "Ready" Status then put us in an "Administrative Processing" mode 10 days later.  Then reference to perform any instructions given by the consular officer during the interview" when haven't even gotten to that point.  

 

Any suggestions?

 

Same thing happened for us, wait for P3, send back forms, wait for P4 then schedule Interview.


edelweissMaleChina2013-09-29 08:49:00
ChinaP4 Question

hmm,this is totally different from what she got, she received nothing but a one page instruction to send back ds230 part 1 and some photos...am I going crazy?that seems like the p4 instruction...

 

Darnell is correct. Register with CGI, pay CITIC fee if you haven't done so. Attempt to schedule appointment but don't until you receive P4 by email.

 

We are all going crazy going thru this process... ranting33va.gif

ChinaP3 documents

We received our P3 on 8/25 and it instructed us to mail back forms to the Consulate. I have seen other say they had to submit through CITIC just a month ago. The Consulate must have changed the procedure again.

ChinaTransferring money between the US and China

No, she has a BOC account in China with her own funds. She uses that debit card to make purchases in the US. We are transferring her money from China to US. I haven't tried transferring from US to China.

ChinaTransferring money between the US and China

For the China to US route, my wife uses her Bank of China Debit card to make our purchases, it takes the funds directly from her BOC account instantly without fees. I will then give her US funds to put in her US account. The debit card works in most stores in the US.

No problem, I also had the same questions.

Then it gets sent to the NVC, which is in Portsmouth NH.

And afterwards it gets sent to the embassy in the beneficiary's country.

Is this correct? Yes

Also, I have read that you get assigned a NVC case number, where can I find this and what is it used for? You need to call the NVC and ask for it or wait for hard copy in mail. It is used to check case status at:

https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx?

And does anyone know how long it takes before you get that number? As soon as NVC gets the petition from USCIS which can take up to a month after getting NOA2
And how long does it take to get from USCIS to NVC to embassy?Up to two weeks, mine too 8 days after leaving NVC

My case went into AP when the consulate (China) received it. My fiancee received packet 3 five days later.

US Embassy and Consulate Discussionproof of ongoing relationship

For my Skype conversation, I pasted it in Microsoft Word, highlighted the whole document (CTRL-A) and opened paragraph properties(right click-paragraph) and checked "don't add space between paragraphs of the same style", changed font size to 7 and printed on both side of the paper. This helped a lot.

 

For yahoo messenger chats I did the same and also a Replace.

Click Replace, choose Special, paragraph mark(^P) and replace all with blank.

I am confident, but at the same time I am really nervous.  I know my fiancee shouldn't have any problem with the interview, but I am worried about a visa officer having a bad day or something like that.

 

Deep breath... can't wait for the phone call.

 

I'll be in the same boat next week and have the same worry...

 

Good Luck!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresAddress, Example Forms, and Evidence

 

Well that would make sense! I imagine it is the same for the 130, which I forgot to mention is the form I am competing. Thanks!
 

 

I would have to believe it is the same for both forms. I had done this for a few items on the I-129F with no problem.

 

I did use the example forms on VJ putting "none" and "N/A" for a number of items.


edelweissMaleChina2013-08-28 12:37:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresneed help : what's next after receiving the NOA2 ?!!!!

Call the NVC and ask for your case#, They will send case to Consulate.

Gather documents for P3 and P4. Look up the specific instructions for P3/P4 for your Consulate as they differ from Country to Country. Read others timelines and posts for your country to know what to expect.

At some point mail your supporting documents to Fiancee I-134 etc..

Wait for the consulate to send you P3/P4 - the hardest part is the waiting... crying.gif

The sealed evidence is given to the fiancee when the visa is approved, your fiancee takes that to the POE (point of entry) in the US and gives the package to the Interviewing officer. The I-134 does not have to be sealed.
