IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresJoining cases at NVC...
Each case will have their own number; however, you should be able to join them by speaking to the NVC. I don't know if you can get the cases joined prior to issuance of a case number or not.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresWhat if I move to a different country during/after the IR-1/CR-1 process?

You can keep calling the NVC indefinitely.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresWhat if I move to a different country during/after the IR-1/CR-1 process?

If you are going to be working in another country, delay your case at the NVC until the time is right.  The NVC will keep a case active for one year from the date of last contact.  The clock resets each time you contact the NVC.

 

CBP will not care what your personal circumstances are; they can and will refuse entry to your wife and daughter on the grounds that have already been stated above.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresmarried instead

How about adding his name on a utility bill?? Will they accept something like that?

 

You can do this but it's not necessary for you to do this.  If you are living apart in separate countries, you are not required nor are expected to have joint bank accounts, own property together, have a lease in both names, or have bills in the same name.

 

Focus on evidence of time spent together in person, that is your strongest evidence.

\A letter from the bank --->joint account you may have or anything that is under both names...(dont worry if you don't have anything yet as a couple (We opened a bank account in my country after a month of getting married.)

 

Joint bank accounts are not required to file an I-130 and couples living apart in separate countries would not be expected to have one.

Go ahead and print the I-864 you have already completed, submit it along with the supporting documents after the bill shows "PAID" in the payment portal.

 

You can call to see if you have a case number anytime but I usually suggest people wait at least one week to allow time for the file to be transferred.

He asked how long were our conversations on average and my wife said an hour to 45 min, when they were actually 5 to 20 mins.

 

The section I put in red is problematic; your wife did not tell the truth about the length of your conversations.  You indicated that you did not include these records with your petition but that does not make it ok.  At some point, it may be necessary to produce those records and they will not match what she said.

so as for my case can i just write january 2009 as well up to present on the 2nd question?

thanks

 

NO, you write the month and year you lived there regardless of how long it has been.  If you have only been at one address your entire life, you start with the month and year you were born in the 'from' category and write "present" in the 'to' category.

 

The other answers stating otherwise are not correct.

Is your inquiry about USCIS or the NVC.  If it's about the NVC, disregard the second post in this thread, it does not apply to you.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresReceived Interview Letter from NVC for Electronic Processing

Go to the consulate at the date and time on the interview letter you received from the NVC with the appropriate documents and evidence in-hand.

 

You won't schedule an interview on the ustraveldocs web site and the Consulate will not send you any packages.  However, you do need to create an account on that website in order to arrange for the return of the passport.  Hopefully those who are more familiar with using that website can elaborate on what I have said here.

Answers:

  1. Morocco specific answer needed
  2. Yes, he will need a police clearance from Tunisia.  No, you cannot get it early too early because if you do and 6 months or more pass after you obtain it, the Consulate can demand another one that has been issued within the last 6 months.
  3. Use your mailing address on all forms except when a section specifically asks for a physical address.

Yes, that is the correct number.  The Automated Voice Recording (AVR) was discontinued sometime in early 2012 so you won't ever hear that.  The lowest call volume is 9-midnight Eastern Time, you may have a better chance of reaching an operator during that timeframe.
