National Visa Center (Dept of State)my brother's case is at NVC, but he has changed his address, what should I do?
since the case has been forwarded to NVC, i would call them and inform them of the new address. i am going to have to do this soon for my husband if it doesn't get to the embassy before he has to move in november.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)under CR1 processing Visa

This is one of the many reasons that you spend plenty of time getting to know each other BEFORE you get married.

The bottom line is that you have to get a divorce, then start the process again. You can't come on a visa to your wife when you know you aren't going to stay together. It is fraud.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)STUCK @ NVC for AP
I am stuck at NVC for AP, but I am going backwards. It is like I am in rewind. My case was supposed to have been sent back to the USA, but when I called NVC last week, they said they received my file on January 13th, and we were put on AP. Lol, I think she was confused...if not, I definitely am. cool.gif Honestly, I hope she was right.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresMy husband just had his interview! Help?
QUOTE (Nesssie @ Dec 18 2008, 01:49 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Okay so my husband just had his interview, the immigration officer said everything was fine, all our documents were in order and we had more than enough evidence. Then she gave him a piece of paper that said administrative processing and also said it takes 4-6 weeks,and handed him back his passport and said he can send it in when he receives further notice from the embassy. Then he told the officer that he needs to be in the USA with his wife and newborn baby, and she asked him if he will be traveling soon, which his reply was no, so she kept his passport and still said everything looks fine. Is it a good sign that the immigration officer kept his passport????


It sounds like an approval to me kicking.gif If they are anything like the other embassies I have read on these forums, their timeframes are never correct. It is in general, which just means it could be longer, it could be shorter. BUT it still sounds like an approval. Congrats on the new baby good.gif

I know what you mean. We spend hours daily contacting each other on the phone or messenger for the last 15 months. My heart still skips a beat whenever I even see him sign on. Then I wait, because I know he will immediately start talking. May you be with your wife soon, and have the rest of your days be very happy. innocent.gif

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresdenied k-3
i am sorry to hear this. please go to the MENA regional forum. there is a pinned topic for such cases as these. many people have gone through this and have been successful. i, myself, am in the midst of this process. our case was received back on february 4. since you are married, you will more than likely have a chance to prove your case to USCIS if it does make it back. BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, please do whatever you can to keep the petition in nigeria. if it makes it back to the usa, you will be in for a long wait. contact your senators, contact a good attorney. marc ellis is a good one. he is on here as ellis-island. good luck, and keep the faith!

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresK3 Interview failed
QUOTE (Jauque @ Aug 11 2009, 12:38 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
But you said that she applied for a K3 so is she married or a fiance, did they initially file only a I-129F? Because if they are married and submitted only the I-129F that would explain the denial. Judging from your signature however you understand this process or have at least gone through it. Please be more specific.



I-129F is for both K1s and K3s. K3 just has the additional I-130 which lets the petitioner pursue either the K3 or CR1 (both spousal visas)

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresConfused. please help

EMAIL FROM NVC READ::::

"You must now download and
complete the Immigrant Visa Application (DS-230) form and mail it to the
NVC in order to complete your immigrant visa processing. "


I AM SOOOO CONFUSED!


you will need to complete and sign the ds230 part I. you will need to complete but do not sign ds230 part II. you will not need to take the ds230 form to a consular. when you have completed the form, and attach any documents required, ie police clearance, your birth certificate, etc. you will need to mail that to your petitioner to mail it to NVC directly. once NVC has completed your case, the will forward everything to your consulate/embassy. then the consular will have you sign ds230 part II. do not worry about anything that asks for the consular's signature. as someone pointed out earlier, you do not write anything below the specified line.

Asia: SouthWaiting is driving me bananas!! What is the longest/shortest time anyone on here has waited for their fiance to get to the USA?
QUOTE (maya62 @ Dec 12 2008, 08:10 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
We were very lucky... but also went through Nepal, not India.

2nd visit ended 3-17-05 (we tried unsuccessfully to do DCF during this visit)
I-129F filed 6-18-05
US arrival 10-21-05

total separation time: just over 7 months (before that, we were separated from Oct '04, when we met, to March '05... another 6 months)

Our visa journey could've been even shorter. We lost time waiting for packet 3, which got lost in Kathmandu. We lost time waiting for a police certificate from Arunachal Pradesh, India, that we probably didn't need. We lost time trying to get my (now) husband's visa application to look presentable (I finally typed it up here and sent it over to him... which reminds me: we lost time when DHL lost my first package and I had to resend via Fedex). But we are NOT complaining about any of it... overall, we were very fortunate! I'm just saying that if we had filed immediately on my return from my second visit, and if we had not had the unnecessary delays, our separation could've been as short as 3 months or less! IOW, none of our delays were caused by either USCIS or the State Dept, both of which were VERY quick and efficient.

So there is hope, at least...

Best wishes on a speedy journey for you...

Maya


Thank you so much, Maya

Wow, this waiting is enough to drive anyone mad headbonk.gif I know my waiting time just seems long to me, and it has only been 1 year, 2 months, 3 days, and 10 hours since I last saw my baby in the New Delhi airport. So I was wondering what was the longest time anyone has waited before their fiance stepped on American soil?
I may be able to get closer to shortest time.

Prior to her entry into US, last saw my then-fiancée @ Nellore Junction 2005/05/28, left India from Chennai Airport 2005/05/31.

Total Time: 10 months, 7 days (see siggy).


that is amazing cherry, maybe my fiance and i should have met in 2005, but all works in God's timing, but yes, so far, you have had the shortest wait time i have seen. although, i have just signed up on vj, i have been a "guest" since february 08 or so kicking.gif
