IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresInterview scheduled!
Thanks to all! I am so ready for my wife to join me. Of course, I am going to see her in a few weeks, and the interview will happen not long after I leave.

I did not specifically set up my email with the NVC. I can't remember if its anywhere on the forms, but I did send an email for a case update to NVC. Needless to say, I was very surprised to receive the email this morning with the interview appointment.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresStrange interview scheduling
I am not sure what to make of this, but thought I would share.

My wife's interview for CR1 visa is scheduled for Nov 4 at 2pm in Harare. When she did not receive the appointmen letter promptly, she called the embassy and was told the she must finish her medical, then submit the results along with evidence of our relationship from when we first met. Once these things are completed, they will schedule an interview disregarding the previously set date.

Anyone experience something similar?

Thanks for the kind wishes. I am not sure about the tracking number. Other threads have explained how to track the shipment, if I can figure it out, it might help.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresHarare Embassy is driving me crazy
The latest is my wife was told today that the documents never arrived from the NVC and they won't do her interview until they arrive. NVC confirms today that the documents were shipped by DHL on Oct 10, 2008. They also sent them electronically. NVC says the Embassy must request the docs again. Am working on tracking that shipment with DHL to see when it would have arrived.

The Embassy cancelled the original interview and told my wife they make their own appointments. She complied with their request to complete the medical process and submit proof of relationship and now this latest news. I thought the end was in sight......

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresThe Embassy found her file, Interview rescheduled!
Thank you for the congratulations. They claim her file arrived yesterday. The NVC said her file was sent on Oct 10th, but when I tracked the shipments from the NVC using DHL, there was no file sent to Zimbabwe within a week of that date. Your guess is as good as mine on that. Hopefully more good news to follow next week!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresInteresting interview experience
A quick update. The Embassy closed for business today, with no decision made. My wife called the CO, but she was busy. The only paper she was issued was a slip of paper to use to re-enter as they had kept her passport. She did bring the requested document back to the Embassy, and was told by the CO that she would be called today with a decision.

Its going to be an anxious weekend as they are closed until Monday regarding immigration issues.

Thanks for the responses everyone. Hopefully some good news is to come tomorrow. They also had my wife ask me to fax a document they claim was not in the file. She took it to the Embassy after receipt, and it sounds like a decision will be made tomorrow. They kept her passport and did not return any documents yet. All good signs to me.

Am thankful to be at this point with all the waiting going on at the CSC and VSC.

martiniolive,

I agree, it does sound a bit brutally honest. I wonder if this is a common thing to tell immigrant women.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresInteresting interview experience
My wife had her interview today. Final determination to happen tomorrow. The Embassy interviewer told my wife that her mind is still not made up as of today. She said to expect a phone call tomorrow.

As for the interview itself, the questions were pretty standard. Nothing out of the ordinary. However, she did tell my wife that these American men will marry a foreign woman, then once she is in the US, they will abuse her. She went as far as to have a secretary print out some sort of violence against women act to give to my wife. The interviewer also told my wife that she wanted to be sure that if my wife left me, that she would be able to stay in the USA.

All in all very odd in that regard. It sounds like my spouse will get her visa approved tomorrow, but the interviewer seemed to want to keep doubt in her mind by saying that the outcome was not clear yet. Comments???

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresK3 petitioner dies!
I'm sure she can't fly to US anymore.

Read: What happens if the petitioner dies before the principal beneficiary has immigrated to the United States?

If the petitioner dies before the principal beneficiary has immigrated to the United States, the petition is automatically revoked pursuant to 8 CFR 205.1(a)(3). This means that the consular officer will not be able to issue a visa to any of the beneficiaries of the petition and will be required to return the petition to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). If there are compelling humanitarian circumstances, the consular officer may recommend that DHS reinstate the petition. Alternatively, the applicant may contact directly the DHS office that approved the petition to request that it be reinstated for humanitarian reasons. If DHS reinstates the petition, the Consulate will contact the applicant(s) soon thereafter.

so what if i choose to do my vaccinations on my hubby's insurance doctor and have it transcribe let's say from US Civil Surgeon not from Seattle let's say Dr. Arnold. Do u think that is fine?




Yes ... that is fine ...

Yes, you can get your vaccination anywhere but make sure that the surgeon who will transcribe it on your form i-693 is one of those civil surgeons approved by USCIS.

Hi donnastl,

Welcome to VJ. I have moved your post from Off Topic to the Philippines Regional Forum which is much more social than Off Topic. You should be able to meet lots of new friends here who share your visajourney.
