Well, at least this morning no one tried to tell me our case isn't in Montreal. No interview date, no word, nothing. Oh well.

for K1 it is easier i see people receiving their NOA2, after a week or 2 their case are already at the embassy. While they keep telling us that there is no more May interview until yesterday K1's were getting May interview, there is a Haiti member that got her interview yesterday she had May 10th

Wow...that's not very much time that member has before her interview!!!

Hmm, I'm not the only one stressed out from school these days I see... Hope it passes soon for us all...

I'm just stressed. It's just time for this process to be done. You know? Yeah, I'm pretty sure you know. :unsure:

Yes it would be but they tell all haiti members here currently in a similar situation to start calling the second week of May

I think they tell everyone that. I think they're just reading off a script...

I'd suggest waiting until after the interview and POE. Although it's not asked for at either one, I don't want it to be a problem for you if it is asked for, for whatever reason. My X-ray is still sealed sitting in my folder, even one year later Posted Image

LOL...mine came on a cd-rom, and is not sealed. I'm booting it up :D

well I called to see if they had received my packages and i was told that my case is close and waiting on the embassy now to schedule the interview. So i asked does that mean my case is closed and she said yes. I thought it was super fast as well. Probably i will get a June interview. I'm hoping for one.

Congratulations :D :D

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - May 2012

Both DS 230 ( Part I and II ) and this OF/DS 169 are getting me confused. with my IV package i sent to them my DS 230 part I signed and part II unsigned. In the Interview letter, the embassy states all the documents they received from me with a Code which gives the status of that documents.

The below is the status of both Ds 230 Part I and II

1 - IMMIGRANT VISA APPLICATION PART 1 Y
1 - IMMIGRANT VISA APPLICATION PART 2 Y
2 - PASSPORT Y

EMBASSY IN HAITI

Y = The required document has been received.

Now, is it necessary to bring that form again to the embassy?

If it's a form you sent in, and if they say they need it for the interview, bring it (bring your copy - you did make copies right?). That way, if they lost something - you can give it to them.
Trav&ShellFemaleCanada2012-05-09 14:49:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - May 2012

OK but why do i have to bring a form that i was not requested?

If the consulate didn't request it, don't send it. Don't bring it either. If they didn't ask for it, they don't need it :)
Trav&ShellFemaleCanada2012-05-09 14:46:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - May 2012

Here is what i see on the guide here on VJ for CR1

Pre-Interview Forms / Items: 1. Completed and signed OF-169.
2. Completed and signed Of-230 Part 1 and 2 forms.
3. I-864 Affidavit of Support Form along with past 3 year U.S tax returns (or transcripts) and any other financial documents required.
4. A copy of intending immigrants biographic page of passport(s) including expiration date.
5. Original or certified "long" birth certificate. *
6. Original adoption decree. (if applicable)
7. Marriage certificate. (if applicable)
8. Divorce decree(s) or death certificate(s) (if applicable)
9. Police certificate(s) **
10. Court and prison records.(if applicable)
11. Custody records. (if applicable)
12. Military records (if applicable)

Did a little digging on VJ - it appears the OF-169 is a consulate or embassy-specific form that tells you what you need to bring with you (all the documents, etc). Not all consulates or embassies have it. So...if you get one of those - sign it and bring it, with everything it tells you to bring.

OK, so I hate that it has come to this. After waiting for so long, I never wanted this to happen.

So I have my AOS Package sitting in my drafts all ready to send. The invoice shows as paid. But I am reluctant to send it now. I am trying to think what exactly it would mean submitting the Affidavit of Support. Right now as things stand, I am waiting for my wife to determine what exactly she wants. If she wants to reconcile our differences or if we should just head towards divorce. I think the wisest course of action right now would be to put on hold the whole visa process which I can do easily by not mailing the AOS package and not paying the IV fee. But at the same time, if things were to get better between us, this will add to the delay for her to come here.

This is a very screwed up time right now. I wish things were simpler. All I wanted was someone to love who would at least care a little about my feelings.

:cry: Wow...it's really awful to hear about this - I'm so sorry :( I don't know what to say but my prayers are with you :(

Yea if there would be any guy for this i would ran from there as fast as i can.But good news is it will be she :) .Even though i don't like that but what to do?

There is nothing else to do - if you want the visa, the doctor (or a female nurse, which you should be able to ask for) has to peek. It's part of the medical, and they won't overlook it.

OK, I woke up today late, long story, I lost my job on Friday, Things are not going well with the wife either, life seems to be at its lowest point right now. But today I guess there was some positivity. I got an email back after my NVC inquiry. They sent me the AOS Invoice and the choice of agent form. I was happy to finally receive my NVC case number. I first sent the opt in email for the electronic processing. Next I paid the AOS fee. I then printed out my AOS Document coversheet and was now going to email my AOS package. But I remember I should wait for the opt in email to be accepted first? I did receive the auto response. I then went to the forms portal and filled out the Choice of Agent form. What is the next step, wait for EP to be accepted? Everything is happening at once!

I agree with everything Kerry said. I'm so sorry to hear about your job and the stresses with your relationship! Her advice is awesome though...and it's really good you've got some forward movement now. I really hope this helps things for you!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - May 2012

Its better if its a female nurse otherwise my husband would say we dont need a medical exam and she is going to stay in canada and im goving too.

You can ask when you get there to make sure a female nurse checks you out - I believe this sort of thing is standard practice now - and I'll let you know what happens too. Unfortunately, even if you're uncomfortable with it, a peek is required - they don't touch, from what I understand, but they need to make sure you are a girl if you are applying as a girl.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - May 2012

What documents you are bringing with you for the medical?Wanna share? Is it true when you go for medical they check your female part? Why?

I'm bringing passport, 3 us sized passport pics, my $300 money order, my vaccination records, my letter from the doctor stating that i'm in good health, my interview letter from the consulate, whatever other ID I have in my purse. Yes, they check to make sure you're a girl - they're not going to give you a full exam, but they need to take a peek. They bring a female nurse in for this, I believe.
