IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	UK Police Certificates	QUOTE (KipandSarahJayne @ Jun 2 2008, 05:59 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi Dave, You only need one certificate to cover all of the UK and you get it from ACRO. You will need a passport photo signed by someone of the list they give you and some proof of address. http://www.acpo.poli.....0form pdf.pdf This is the link .... they're pretty cool, mine arrived last Thursday and even has your photo on it. All the information needed is in the link. Sarah x ps, if you've got the I-130 approved, I'd suggest you run with it ..... if you bang on with Lotopatience's shortcuts for NVC you'll be done in 4-6 weeks and I understand the interviews are quite quick out of London following that ..... you'll then have a greencard. Hi Sarah I am going CR1 route and my hubby filed in Oct 2007 i see yours was filed in 2008 and yet you have approval which is great cause i don't like to think of people waiting a life time for approval. anyways was wondering what Senator did you send a letter to to get your case actioned ? Jeff and i have spoke with Congressman and we are told 3 more months for adjudication yet i see CR1 approvals beyond our date of filing .....what can we do ? Hope you can help I am in Scotland and my hubby is in Naples Florida - our files are at Vermont Service Centre ...we need some advice in what to say and who to speak to to get our case adjudicated. Thanks Michelle	jeffmich2007	Female	United Kingdom	2008-06-02 07:31:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Just got married to my wife in China and am curious about IR-1/CR-1 for her and her daughter.	QUOTE (ssayers05 @ Jun 21 2008, 05:44 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I just recently got married to my wife in China and am curious about the IR-1/CR-1 for her and her daughter who is 16. Do i have to file an I-130 for both of them seperatly or just one? If anyone can give me any advice i would very much appreciate it. Congratulations on your marriage You have to file an I-130 for each of them ( 1 for your wife and 1 for your step-daughter) but file both petitions at the same time. you can got to the USCIS website and there you can find out which service centre your state is covered by. www.uscis.gov Good luck Michelle	jeffmich2007	Female	United Kingdom	2008-06-21 17:49:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	I-130's approved today from VSC	QUOTE (yash_ash @ Jun 26 2008, 03:53 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Congrats!!! Finally we see some activity at VSC Thanks to you all It certainly has been a long wait Originally we had attorny that filed K3 ( i was not keen on K3) for us but it was never moving and i was not comfortable with not filing an I-130 for my son so we told attorney we were going to file I-130 for my son he was not too charmed about it but thats okay cause we are so glad we did. We stopped his services and carried on ourselves. My I-130 and I-129F was filed 19th Oct 2007 in April 22nd we filed I-130 for my son along with a cancellation letter for the I-129F ( which we did ourselves) so now we went CR1 route which is better in the log run and the fact K3 was taking forever... so it has worked out for us. there was no delay in getting approved because of the late filing of my sons I-130 ( he is 12yrs of age and a minor) Just so every one knows it can be done if anyone changes there plans from K3 to I-130 I know for a fact both I-130's are together as i have e-mail proof and will be on there way to NVC where i hope the process to go faster I hope to be with my hubby by Sept I was getting very depressed waiting, Now the news of approval has lifted my spirits , I havent seen my hubby in over 10 months a couple more wont hurt.

FROM VERMONT SLOW CENTER	QUOTE (Richard and Aida @ Jul 17 2008, 02:49 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> HI vj FAMILY.TODAY I RECEIVED A LONG AWAITED E-MAIL STATEING I130 approved.The hard copy is in the mail. WOWWOWEEEEEEE!! I did not receive any touches prior to approval except exactly when approved was one touch 7/17/2008.This has been a long wait.Lets all pray that Vermont Slow Center will become Vermont Fast Center and many other NOA2s will follow mine.We thank everyone at VJ for all the info in the past and for info we will need for the second part of our journey.We thank God all the goodness bestowed upon us. CONGRATULATIONS !!!! Coming out of Vermont is such a nice feeling I too was at Vermont but got Approved on 26th June now we are at the last leg of NVC ...I will be sending in my DS-230 's for my son and myself this week so hopefully i will be case complete in a couple weeks if all goes well our files were on the NVC system on July 2nd so it only took a week to get out Vermont to NVC. Interview in London in Sept if im lucky Your on your way ..... Good luck ! NVC are so much nicer to work with compaired to USCIS but im sure USCIS they have thier reasons as to why they can't answer hardly any questions. If you follow the Fast way to go through NVC it should save you atleast 1 - 2 months time All the best to you both Michelle	jeffmich2007	Female	United Kingdom	2008-07-17 15:15:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Can we get married over there?	B)--> QUOTE(Jonathan B @ Jan 20 2008, 10:48 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My fiance and I want to get married over in Scotland and then come back to the US. Is it possible for us to get a Visa which would allow us to get married over there and then come back here? ---- She is from Scotland and I am from the US. Thanks.[/quote] Hi I am from Scotland and got married in Florida as my husband is from there. It was not our original plans as we did plan to get married here in Scotland at christmas time last year but instead we went and got married in Florida in August last year. it is possible for you and your fiance to get married in Scotland ( just remember scottish law is different to English eventhough we are both UK) also its easier to get married in Scotland cause i checked it out. First off I was told my husband ( USC) would need to get permission from his state that he was NOT staying just visiting for marriage it takes 4 weeks to get paperwork and then i would have to pass this paperwork on to Scottish authorities and then it takes 2 weeks to get marriage license which allows us to get married in Scotland ...ofcourse thats easy but all the same you will still have to go through I-130 but then it would go through London which means its faster approx 6 months so u it's worth calling the Scottish Authorities and the State where your USC lives to find out the timescale. Either way you both have to wait for final approval and visa. It is said that Scotland is one the easiest countries to get married in. I wish i had stuck out and waited to get married in Scotland knowing what i know now but unfortunately for me my husband had some family setbacks which would not allow him to be here at Christmas so we took the second option. Where in Scotland is your fiance from ? I am in Aberdeen the North East Good luck whatever you choose Michelle 0 Back to top	jeffmich2007	Female	United Kingdom	2008-01-20 11:27:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	passport photo	QUOTE (Me 2 @ Feb 21 2008, 09:31 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I believe i have the ability to make my own passport photo which is required for the I-129 petition,.... will this be acceptable? Or does it have to be done by a "passport photo professional"? There is so much info. on how to make this photo correctly, that i can only think they give these details for the average Joe so he can do it him/herself. I mean why give all this info. to the "passport photo professional"? They already know how to. bp If you send in a home made passport pic it may not be good enough and so not to hold up any processing i would definitely go to a professional Photo Store and have it done. The cost is not a lot of money and well worth it and it's safer. Make life simple as possible when your dealing with USCIS ...that's just my thoughts Good Luck Michelle	jeffmich2007	Female	United Kingdom	2008-02-21 09:50:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	K1 vs. K3	QUOTE (Thee_Rak @ Mar 21 2008, 01:59 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Okay we have just returned the packet 3 stuff to the embassy (K1 Filing) and talking with my fiancee today someone she knows was giving her a hard time about why we did a K1 and not a K3. Basically this person was suggesting that it will take a long time to get a green-card on a K1 and that there's a good chance that all I (the USC) want to do is bring her here for a "test run" and if we don't like each other I'm going to "send her back". Here's my thinking... first - there are far too many marriage brokers in Thailand!!!! Second - this other person has a friend who has had a bad experience on a K1 (states it's taken more than 10 years and they don't have a green-card yet). Here's our situation and you tell me if I'm right in my thinking okay.... I live and work in America. I met her while on vacation (I don't travel to Thailand for long stints for work or anything). We stayed in touch and then took two vacations together and got real serious about each other. If I were living in Thailand we would have gotten married and filed for K3 (because we'd have been together the whole time) but since I live in America I filed for a K1 instead of going there just to get married and then coming back to America to file a K3. We would still be apart and as I understand it we would have been apart for even longer because a K3 looks like it takes about 3 months longer, on average, to process. After arrival in the US and the filing of AOS there doesn't seem to be any difference in the process... am I missing something? As long as you don't mess up the paperwork there's no reason it should take any longer to get permanent residence after your POE on a K1 or a K3 right??? You made your choice to go K1 and that has nothing to do with anyone but you and your fiance ...you both know what u want and that's eacother So hang in there and get through the process with the faith that you and your fiace are gonna be very happy together ...besides you don't need to prove that to anyone ...you already know it I myself (in my past ) went out to USA on K1 visa a few years back ...i dated my fiance for 4 years before i married him...i was very happy and lead to beleive he was too, after all he ( the USC) surprised me and flew to UK and proposed. Unfortunately it didn't work out after just 8 months me being there, things were falling apart ...he had another agenda another woman I lost my life savings ...my home ...my job and came back to UK penniless and homeless with my son, at the time he was 7 it was awful and it completely devastated me because i was not aware of the goings on. I vowed i would never trust another man but hey nearly 6 years on i am re-married to another American whom i adore and is nothing like my x so it's amazing how things can change...like i say the first 3 years i was bitter and angry at what my x did ...used me... but as time went by i realised i was stopping myself from being happy and that NOT all men are like that so here i am going through K3 yet another thing i never thought i would go through but i am and i am very very happy so Don't let others bad experiences dobt your decisions because people are individual and we all have had our problems at some time in our life I am going through this and im not looking forward to my interview because of being married to American before, i know this....I am honest and truthful and i love my husband very much im hoping the consular officer will see that for himself Lets hope you sail through this K1 with ease Good Luck to you both Michelle	jeffmich2007	Female	United Kingdom	2008-03-21 14:47:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	lots of aovals for Fiance Vosa's but hardly any for married couples	I am aways happy to see approvals whether it be K1 or K3 or I-130 but what really gets me is married couples should be priority to fiance .....I myself am married and awaiting my approval for K3 ...we filed back in October 2007 and just got NOA1 in January then we were able to file our I-129F again we got our NOA1 end Jan for that....why is it there's a heck of a lot approvals are for K1 and we married people are left behind ...seems so unfair I know our approval will come but it's rediculious that a lot K1's are getting approved in a matter of weeks...i am glad tho that thye dont have to go through the pain of waiting months on end like some of us on here! Just wish there was a reason behind it ? Good luck to all on this USCIS journey ! Michelle	jeffmich2007	Female	United Kingdom	2008-03-22 14:30:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	I thought the I-129F was sent........	QUOTE (RYCK @ Apr 4 2008, 11:23 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yup we mailed them out and 2 weeks later still nothing .. we did all the stuff the signature requirement the receipt notice and have tracking number and paid to insure it and all the USPS website says is that it's been accepted at the post office.. well DUH. we know that.. so i called the US postal service and they say thats normal to not update that site ... so it seems its probably lost along with the check and all .... AM SO PEEVED AT THE USPS .. so now am guessing it's time to gather up more cash and get a new set of papers all ready and find a better service to send it off ... maybe UPS will do a better job of it .. now to try and collect what the USPS owes us .. paid to insure it but after talking to them seems like collecting will take a long time ... oh well just needing to vent I am sorry that the postal service has let you down but for future reference it is ALLWAYS best to send Important Documents (especially when dealiong with USCIS ) via Fedex so that you have a signature and date they were recieved...We sent our files to USCIS using fedex and we didnt have any problems so Good luck in your quest with USCIS ...it's a tough one for some on here I am sure u will get through it Keep your chin up Michelle	jeffmich2007	Female	United Kingdom	2008-04-04 11:35:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	USCIS Service Centers	QUOTE (jeffcloe @ Apr 23 2008, 12:20 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Here I am again, I have been hearing a lot about California Service Center to being so slow, my fiance is from Michigan, would it be possible to file in Vermont Service Center instead. We are now starting to regret hiring a lawyer for some reasons that everything seems to me much slower because we have to send the documents to the lawyer before the lawyer can send our documents to USCIS, and so far the lawyer have not received yet the priority envelop we sent to them with our documents last April 15, 2008... Since that is our situation now, we are thinking of requesting to file in Vermont Service Center, I want to know if that is possible. Thank you so much. God bless us all.

I went through K1 a few years back and like you went to London prior to applying for the K1 to see if i could get a visitors visa just so i could go spend a couple months with my Fiance but i was Denied the visitors visa because they dont look lightly on visiting a fiance if your VWP was not valid, i had a denied entry so that didnt help ( i didnt show strong ties to UK at the time i entered USA eventhough i had return tickets and had no intention of staying over my time they still denied my entry) ...you must be prepared for a denial but who knows you might be lucky ...i wasn't Good luck Michelle	jeffmich2007	Female	United Kingdom	2008-06-15 16:47:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Going to see my fiancé	QUOTE (Alexandra_v @ Apr 11 2008, 06:27 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I’m new here! Before I continue I have to say thank you for all the information! I was in America for 11 months and I never overstayed! was denied entry 2 times this 14 months ago! (was never illegal during my time in America) . Me and my bf have filed for the fiancé visa! I’m planning on going to USA to visit my bf with my family for 2 weeks! Would that be a problem? Please a need help! Thank you U must get a visitors visa if your planning to go see your B/friend because of your denied entries but if you have already filed for K1 the chances might be very slim on getting a visitors visa, u can check this with the american embassy before u go on a long flight over there only to be denied again at POE denied entry will not stop u from getting your K1 ...if and when u do go send your papers to USCIS make sure u kept your original documentation of denied entry and sent a photo copy of it to USCIS along with your K1 paperwork because the info about your denied entries will be on the System and i bet everytime u enter US they pull u up for questioning ... i know i been through a denied entry ( didnt show strong ties to UK was the reason) and beleive me it gets so tiresome having to answer the same questions so i know the process at POE, even when i got a B1 visa i was still pulled up and questioned.... but as long as u have a travel visa things should be fine ...If they issue u one.

United Kingdom	Interview Date	hey guys I have my interview date on November 10th in London i'm so excited, I only had my medical yesterday. I sent an e-mail to the American embassy in London a few days ago asking if they could notify me of my interview date so I could make arrangements for Courtney to fly over and come to the interview with me and got the usual reply that they deleted my e-mail without reading it. Today I got a reply from the embassy letting me know my interview is on Monday 10th November 2008 and that they have sent me out written confirmation of this. I've also now booked flights to the USA on December 13th so I'll make it over in time for my birthday, christmas and new year, the timing couldn't have been better. I booked through Delta and am flying through JFK as my POE so that I can try get my temporary work visa stamped in my passport (fingers crossed). It's such a relief that we are nearing the end of what is only the first stage of this process but the rest will be so much easier as we will be together when applying for AOS.

I don't care tho if it took all day, I wasn't leaving til they said the magic words "you're approved" Congratulations again Stuart My appointment was at 8am! I had to leave my house at 6:30am, which I haven't done since I was 17.. haha. I got in to the embassy at around 8am, and left just before 10am. At the first part of my appointment, the computer wouldn't work as well. Had to grab everything and go from cubical 01 to 14, stopping of at 12 to pay the fees. What did you think of the giant envelope with the x-rays? It raised a few eyebrows when I sat down to wait for the interview. Maybe the onlookers thought I was a special agent? Well, probably not lol. I was trying to look out for you, but I couldn't recognise you from your forum picture. Congrats too, I agree, the words "you're approved" are worth any amount of time. Steve wow that was early. i was cubical 1 too when it broke so must have just been that computer. how dumb are they that they continue to use a broken computer hours later after first discovering it was broken then looked shocked as if they didn't know lol Yeah I had to stand at cubical 1 for an hour whilst they tried to fix the computer with everyone looking at me carrying the brown envelope with my xrays. Must have looked very official and important. I was sitting up next to the courier service whilst I was waiting. How quiet was the place? nobody wanted to talk or make any noise, so many nervous people in the same room was really funny. Thankfully thats over for us now	Stuart n Courtney	Male	Scotland	2008-11-12 19:43:00
