I'm soooo happy for you guys. I was worried the transferes were going to slow us down but I guess not. Did you get any touches on yours before it got approved?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresVermont I 130 processing Times
Possible theories!

1) California is bigger so they have more people to work on Visa's
2) California is Broke so they can't pay their workers to care about keeping people out
3) Vermont starts with a V so they come after C
4) Vermont can't find the power button on their computers.

I've also noticed that with the CSC the files are "Somewhat taken in order of which they received the NOA1 as to where the VSC is doing some from last April and some from January.

I want to call the CSC to see if ANYTHING has been done to the file. I have no touches, My NOA1 was Dec 11 which on the Immigration history says it's actually roughly today that they are being approved. Can I call the CSC to see if they have done anything with it or will that be a futile effort, I should just wait?


Waldo,
It wont hurt calling them, all they can say is we dont have any further information about your case. Also one more thing have you tried checking your case status by registering on USCIS website? You might want to do that and see if that helps you.

best of luck!


Thanks. I might give them a call tomarrow. Like you say the worse they can tell me is go away... or is it???

I am registered on the USCIS website but I've seen NOTHING and it's just bugging me that nothing has shown up yet.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresWhy not during the I-130
Sorry I meant to say what is the point of the DS-3032. If the purpose is to ask who is going to be the contact. Why wouldn't they ask that on the I-130 granted the DS-320 would still need to be filled out that could be sent along with the package sent to the US Resident and then sent to the filer right?
WaldoMalePeru2009-03-27 12:46:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresWhy not during the I-130
It seems like it would be a lot less steps if they asked who your consular is going to be on the I-130, does it not? That would mean all of the paper work could be done domestically saving time and money. If I've already got the DS230 filled out with all the required documents then we wouldn't have to wait for them to send it, her to get it, then for her to send it back.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI-864 ?
Technically I'm a part time employee. Even though I work 60 hours a week I'm only guaranteed 16. In the last two years I have made just over $20,000 and this year I just got a $1.00 raise AND I wont be taking so many weeks off for because my wife will be in the states. I have a funny feeling they are going to send a letter saying I expect to make $14,000 when in actuality it will be more like $25,000.

Well good thing I'm getting started on it now right? If you guy's have any ideas let me know.

On the sample form for the I-864 it is written as though the immigrant is already in the US. Should I have my wife's mailing address as mine and do I write NA, None, or leave blank #6 and #7?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresPlease Help! Canadian looking at a K1, K3 or CR-1. Which best fits my situation and which gets me in the US the quickest??
CR1 would be my suggestion. It's cheaper, about as fast as the K3 and you can work and travel soon after approval unlike K3 where you have to do adjustment of status before you can do anything.

For our translation of wedding documents we had a friend translate them. Can we do the documents required on the DS-230 ourselves or should we have it done by the government?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresis there something wrong? no NAO2 yet and not even a touch after two months!
I know how you feel. A touch would really make you feel at least they are doing something. I did a survey and around 60% of the people approved received a notice in the e-mail without any touches. Some didn't even show they were approved on the site like us either. We just got a happy letter in the mail.
