IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresGetting married to US Citizen

Answers in bold and red:

 

 

- What Kind of VISA will be needed to apply for ? I know that there are a lot of options but what is the best route to go for!
Only one option, CR-1
 
- How early we can start the application process ? Since we will get married in India, Will my partner need to go back to USA to start my application process. Can it be started immediately after marriage?
The process can be started as soon as photocopies of needed documents are in hand (do not submit originals with the I-130).
 
- How long will it take to get the immigration VISA? Is there any kind of premium processing option? It would be great if someone can provide me the duration for which the immigration status is valid ?
Based on current processing times, plan on at least a year from the time paperwork is filed to the time an interview takes place.  There is no premium processing option.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresPls Help (AOS-Joint Sponsorship Is Suddenly Diagnosed With Cancer)

Ok thanks. Do they need to call the nvc and tell them that they are changing a joint sponsor? Or they could just send another aos with the new joint sponsor who already filled up the forms?thanks

 

IMO, I think it would be a good idea to call the NVC to inform them that there will be a new joint sponsor and provide brief explanation if asked why.  In addition, when the new paperwork is submitted, a brief explanation should be in a cover letter explaining the change.

If the joint sponsor your friend had lined up is no longer able to sign the paperwork, then your friend will need to find another one.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI-864/I-864A questions (split topic)

She made about $75k per year. So, her husband doesn't need to file I864a right ??? Cuz some people said since they filed tax together, her husband need to file I864a also

 

If aunt qualifies on her own, then no I-864A from her husband is required.

**Moderator hat off**

 

 

hi guys, i have a question about I864   :( My aunt is going to be my co-sponsor. We use the same address. 

So, im going to file I 864. She files I864a. Do I need her husband file I864a also since they filed their tax return together. If so, what should I put for their current income in form I864a?? Is it the total income in the tax return ( this guy is unemployed )

 

Firstly, your aunt will be a joint sponsor.  Secondly, she will also file an I-864, not an I-864A.  Thirdly, since her husband is unemployed, he would not have any income to combine with your aunt which would make him filling out an I-864A totally pointless.  Finally, total income is current income.  Without revealing numbers, is your aunt paid by the hour or does she have a set salary?  How often is she paid?  By knowing this information, I or someone else can give you an accurate formula to calculate the total income.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresFiled I-130 - is there anything else that I need to do?

 

It seems like for most Irish people, the "local" consulate is actually the one in London, not Ireland, for some reason. Not sure.

 

This only applies to people who live in Northern Ireland because Northern Ireland is actually UK territory.

 

 

 

 

 

I've never heard of an Irish consulate in London, I really hope not. There's is a US embassy in Dublin so I'm really hoping it will be my local as I do live in Dublin.

 

Since you live in Dublin, you will be interviewing in Dublin.

Since original signatures are usually required, send the original translation paper with the original signature.

Answers:
  • I-864 is required to be submitted to the NVC for a spousal visa case; not I-134. If the information on the I-864 changes between the time it is sent to the NVC and the interview, bring an updated form to the interview.
  • You can use copies of the return forms OR transcripts, Up to you which one you wish to submit.
  • See above, if you only send the I-134 to the NVC, you will receive a checklist for the I-864.

Embassies and Consulates have the discretion that a police certificate be issued within the last 6 months.  I can't speak to how often or where there is a greater frequency of that discretion being exercised.

hello vj members,

 quick question, does the affidavit of support should be notarized or not before sending it to NVC.

 

No

 

 

thanks for the response, one more question is the proof of current employment necessary to include in affidavit of support or is it just optional?

 

Providing proof of the source of income is required, not optional.

I don't get it on the above quote.  Since  my fiancee K-1 was denied, i'm planning to either do K3 or IR-1/CR-1 but not sure which is better. 

1) Is it true that K3 you can have your wife come live temporary in USA while case is pending, NOA1? if so what form needed for her to come live temporary?

2) After we marry and she live in Cambodia, how can i add her to my banking account like the above quote?

 

Answers:

  1. No
  2. Joint property or joint leases and co-mingled finances are not required to file a petition.  Those items listed are only suggestions.

If he was not required to file taxes, then he will need to attach an explanation why.  While this in of itself will not adversely affect your case, I would be remiss if I did not mention that the final say rests with the CO at the Embassy.
