IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril 2013 I-130 Filers
Collie, the girl in Knightsbridge doctors told me that in some cases people book the medical just the day before the interview, stay over and go for the medical and the visa will be issued pending the results of the medical which they receive 3 or 4 days later. Might work for cr1 as the NVC issue the date for the interview and then I guess you could book the medical for the day before. In my case, for the k3, I had to send off a notification of readiness to the embassy which required the date of the medical. It would be soooooo much easier to have medical and interview in Dublin. Dreading going to London, not at all sure about using the underground to get around. Only thing is, my flight is at 7 45 am and the medical appointment isn't until 3 so will have plenty of time. Flight home at 19 45pm, gonna be a long day. They don't make anything easy for us, do they? In fact, I think, they do their best to make life difficult!!!! Have your parents had their medical yet, are they emigrating to the US?

Hey Anne, its a small world... I'm originally from Lisburn :) What part of Co. Down are you from? My parents too have to make double trips for medical/interview. It would be so much easier if the Northern Irish residents could just go through Dublin.


Hey Collie, I'm from Newry . ..it certainly is a small world!

Oh Im so sorry LoveMyTico. I can tell you if they were all irish working in the USCIS, you would have heard something by now, we have hearts, something those morons are sadly lacking! I just cant get my head round your situation, why why why doesn someone listen to you.

Just some info. Even though I have an Irish passport, I live in Co.Down, N Ireland, so that means I have to have my medical in London and then back again for my interview, my flight for next week cost £185. A bit of a pain in the ####### as the US embassy in Dublin is only a 50 minute drive from my house! Aren't they all the same US embassy?? By the time I go to london twice, pay medical fee, have to stay over for interview as I'll probably have to be there for 7 30am, it will have cost me the tidy sum of £800. Rant over!! Lol

Oh by the way, no post here in Ireland tomorrow as its a holiday, St. Patricks Day. :) Maybe get the elusive letter on Tuesday.

No letter yet but it said in the email if I didnt receive the letter to follow the links in the email which are just the instructions on how to proceed, fill in ds 160 (done) and schedule medical (doing that tomorrow morning). When thats been done I then have to fill in letter of readiness online and send. Will definitely keep you posted.

My 130 is still with NVC. Still haven't got a case no. Will close it when I get my 129 approval.

Oh that's so true! I hate weekends! :( Roll on Monday. Going to call the medical centre to make my appointment and then I can go online and fill out the letter of readiness. Have no idea when I'll get my interview. Am ready to attend the medical on the earliest possible date available.

Yes, for sure, today is all about LoveMyTico! We'll I do drink, ( I'm Irish! ) and I'll be raising a glass to her this evening with my daughter who has been following this with me. It's such fantastic news! God bless us one and all!

Etrangais, I think it took around 20 days for them to send my 129 to the embassy. Not sure what day the NVC received it but they received the 130 on 11th FEB so I assume it was the same date for the 129. It was sent to the embassy on 25th FEB . So it was pretty quick!

LoveMyTico, I just got an email from the embassy telling me that I have been sent a letter on 13th march by the Immigrant Visa unit and they are ready to begin processing my k3 visa!!!!!!! Waiting for that letter, should get it tomorrow. Soooooo excited. Hope for your k3.

I bet you did, almost puked myself. The only thing I can say is that hopefully by the time you get to NVC the backlog there will have cleared. A rep from there told my husband today that they are working overtime. Maybe tomorrow will be your day.

OMG!!!! I can't believe you're still not approved! What the hell are those morons playing at? I was just thinking what you are LoveMyTico. Someone is sitting on your file just out of spite. But no, that wouldn't happen. Would it?

LoveMyTico, does that mean they will still process the 129 and send it to your embassy? I'm kinda resigned now to the fact that our 129 will be closed. They wll have it a week tomorrow. Keep your chin up girl, it will be your turn soon. X
NoelAnneFemaleIreland2014-03-05 18:16:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril 2013 I-130 Filers
No, the embassy didn't contact me LoveMyTico. So yes, will just have to wait until they do ( fingers crossed) and then try to schedule medical and interview close together. Hope tomorrow brings you some good news. Nite nite from Ireland. :)

We'll, tried calling the embassy today and it would be easier to call the Vatican and have a chat with the Pope!!! I ended up sending them an email. :( Not having a good day, not feeling positive about our i129 at all. So I guess it's just more waiting at the NVC. Hopefully this will be a good week for you LovMyTico. X
NoelAnneFemaleIreland2014-03-04 16:03:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril 2013 I-130 Filers
So there is no point in me calling them then. Omg, I'm so stressed out, do you think the embassy will deal with our 129 this week, they've had it from last Thursday. It will be another week probably until we get a case no and IIN from NVC .
NoelAnneFemaleIreland2014-03-03 15:02:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril 2013 I-130 Filers
Will call them tomorrow, maybe I should get my husband to call the NVC too. Don't want to mess things up though. Any thoughts on this etrangais or LoveMyTico?
NoelAnneFemaleIreland2014-03-03 14:44:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril 2013 I-130 Filers
long trip , is it possible to send an email to the NVC to tell them you'd prefer to go with the 129? I was thinking of calling the embassy and saying something similar. Will they listen to us??
NoelAnneFemaleIreland2014-03-03 14:32:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApril 2013 I-130 Filers
I129 has been received by embassy, as per the DHL TRACKING SYSTEM, ( thanks Saylin) . OMG ! Hopefully I'll hear something POSITIVE from them this week.

YAY !!!  do everything they ask asap...   try to schedule your interview  too.  Have you heard anything about you I-130????  let the K3 play out...  I have been reading about huge delays at the NVC.   I bet the K3 goes through before they log in your I-130.
 
You give me hope.  Once it gets to the embassy, it goes really fast !!

Have already filled out and submitted the ds160. Yes, the NVC seem to be taking longer to process applications, we're still waiting on our case number. So I'll definitely be doing everything I can to go the K3 route! Hoping and praying you hear good news SOON. X

LoveMyTico, our 129 has been forwarded to the embassy! Have to fill out the online DS 160 form now. Will be interesting to see if it goes any further! Don't want to get my hopes up. Somehow I think it will be closed when it get there. Will keep you posted. Any word on yours?

We just a notice that our approved 129f has been transferred to NVC. So I guess it will be closed there, NVC received our approved 130 on 11th Feb. Just waiting on case no. now. At least that's us done with USCIS!!  Thank God! lol
