IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsanniversary # 4

She has medical this week, interview August 16 th, and hope she is here for my birthday in September.

Our actual official paper marriage was February 2012, but I put the ring on 4 years ago July 27. We will have a church or outside wedding when she gets here as my Mom is not able to travel.

Our first attempt was a fiance visa, it was turned down, but our future is for the long haul , it is for life, after she is here, all the waiting, all the worrying, all the time, all the wondering, all the hoops we had to jump through, it is all part of it, these difficulties have been eased by the great, knowledgeable and kind people on this site

thank you one and all

and good luck to one and all

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsFile "Touches"

I've heard the term "touches" in relation to activity with files. July filer here, and our file hasn't been touched since the day after our NOA1. Is that unusual? Is there a flurry of activity right before adjudication? I've been very patient until we hit the six month mark and now I'm just a bundle of nerves (very out of character). It feels like our petition has fallen into a black hole somewhere. I'm interested to hear other couples' experiences. Was there activity with your files leading up to NOA2 or were you simply notified. Thanks for sharing your stories.

waiting with ya
good luck

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsDenied I-129f even though I withdrew first application

The only thing I will miss about the USA is decent ice cream!

I love vietnam icecream, all 3 colors, 

dude you sound really bitter, time will heal, in love you must trust and trust blindly, if you dont trust blindly and with your entire heart, you are just merly compromising and coasting,to me thats not love, it is only getting by. hey you got suckered, big deal. if a Man gets punched, he gets right back up and looks the guy in the face who punches him, and you keep getting punched and keep getting up,time after time... untill you can not get up.....that my friend is a man

please reconsider badmouthing the military,,,,they protect your right to bad mouth the flag and country...and men and women die EVERYDAY so you have the right to run your mouth...that is bravery... what i read is self loathing pitty party,,,suck it up and go on,,learn from your mistakes, if a mistake does not cost you, then you probally did not learn from it.....go live in  Vietnam and bad mouth their flag and their military....see how that goes.

If I were you, I'd get rid of the lawyer.....They'll just keep charging you.  You are already right here in this forum and maybe you can transfer to the specific country (Vietnam has its own regional forum).  Plenty of help/advice/guides available for you.  You need to file an IMBRA waiver.  Again, no help from the lawyer.  I have a format to use if you're interested.  Best of luck to you.

How closely is thate saving and checking account looked at ? 3.What about debt in credit cards? 4.How much are owned property assets considered in the Cr-1 visa?
Thank you all for your help.

I also included receipts of WU moneygrams, but if on your next trip over you and yours create a bank account,,her account with you having access , showing proof and paperwork  and account balance, and copies of wire transfers from your stateside bank to that account can not hurt

A congressman would not be any more helpful than any other person that understands the process at HCMC.

What service is Fred Wahl offering? What experience does he have with successful petitions through HCMC? And more to what you need, what is his success rate with 2nd petitions at HCMC? Make sure you do some homework before spending money with anyone.

Most of this process is simply completing form and organizing information. There is a lot of discussion here in the Vietnam regional forum about package preparation. And with a second petition for the same person the bar is raised. You may want to consider marrying your SO and then pursuing a spouse visa.

Do some reading and make an informed decision. Paying someone a lower price doesn't mean you are getting a deal. It may be just poor service for less $$.

Share your first package and the resulting denial sheet with the group and let other VJ members weigh in. You will get a lot of varied opinions. Use that collective input to craft your submission.

Best of luck.

The first interview was bad, her English was poor, she missed some questions, translation was poor,
answers were twisted by translation, also there is an age difference she is 26, and i am 48, both of us do not consider it a problem or even a thought of difficulty, as well as both of our families. There is love and support by both our families. The second interview she sat for over 4 hours and then, was handed the bad sheet and was told told the interview was over,just like that. However I think that the biggest snag was an unprofessional package put together by myself. For this reason I was considering Fred Wahl, it was cheaper than any lawyer and offered a professional package. I thought it was a way to address any and all red flags with front loading, explaining all red flags up front. I can feel blame and disappointment for my self, and also i took it very personal when they had the balls to say the word - sham -, and trying to go around immigration laws,,,,,how by filling out every paper, form and giving what ever was asked of me, jumping in each and every hoop offered??? Do they say the same to someone who illegally crosses a river to come to the USA. Now I know the results might had been bad from the day of the week to what color outfit she had on. I just want her beside me more than anything in the world.However long it takes, Both she and I are in love and committed.[MAI MAI],,,, Thanks for your advice. VJ is a great forum and a relief to know other people have common experiences and problems. Sorry if I vented too much.

ps I talked on the phone to Fred Wahl for 1 hour and 14 min, he gave more attention time and answers than lawyers who charge over double plus his price. if it is bad results then I can use the expensive lawyer,
Also I have the help of my brothers acquaintance Congressman Walter Jones.
