IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresMissing Info/864-ds230
The checklist is sent to many ppl because they receive the DS 230 but the office that reviews your I864 doesn't have it there yet so they think it's still missing. That's why they send the checklist.

Talk to an operator, they have way more info and can tell you what's up. I am sure that it is simply the delay between offices though.
Today when I called the message had changed and case complete now at automated system, too.

I know it's hard right now because it is the weekend and no operators at NVC available.

I'm positive it's just that same problem. Call them on Monday, speak to an operator, tell them you got message of docs missing and they'll let you know what's up

Good luck,
Angel

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresi-864 question again

so sorry to hear all this. It's just unfair, isn't it?

I hope you will get through it and all will work out fine.

All the best luck

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduressomething wrong?
you don't have to tell them anything. After approval they will send the petition to NVC and if you answer them and pay the fees, they will just continue the process.

I hope you get your approval soon and am sorry I must tell you USCIS is not a big help.
Have you tried calling NVC?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresK3 or CR1
since your I130 is already approved, you will probably not get your K3 before that and if they both reach the embassy, the K3 will be canceled.
So it might be best to await the I130 process and get the CR1

If your passport is in your married name, your visa will be scheduled in your married name, I think.
I would ask the embassy about it to make sure

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI-130 when I am in USA?Heeeeeeelp
if you do CR1, you would have to go back to Cairo for the interview.
If you do AOS is the US, you will have to pay all the $$ again that you paid for your I130 at NVC.
germangelFemaleGermany2006-05-17 07:59:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI know am precipitous...
Medical info should be in your interview letter. You won't get your visa right then and there but will have to wait between 5-14 days for your passport and visa to come in the mail depending on whether you have information missing or not.
In Frankfurt, you can do the medical on a walk-in basis, no appointment will be scheduled. FOr the other docs, you will have to schedule an appointment. I went to Frankfurt for my K3 and didn't need interview letter or anything from Consulate by the way, so you could go ahead of time there. Anywhere else in Germany, I don't know though

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduressilly billy Angelika has silly billy question
Hi,
as I just received my official interview letter from the consulate, I got 2 minor questions, and I think I know the answer but Better Safe Than Sorry!!

The checklist states that I need to bring the I-864 and supporting documents. I already sent that to NVC, so I don't need to bring it again, right?

It says to bring the $380, unless you have paid $335 at NVC, then you should bring remaining $45. I paid the whole deal at NVC, so I should be good, right?

Anyone who knows for sure, please help out the little confused me (guess I'm just so excited), that'd be great!

germangelFemaleGermany2006-05-06 11:44:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresinteresting question?
sorry but you won't get a visa other than your CR1 or K3, as you have immigrant intent and they don't let you go to the US without the appropriate visa.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresPART 2 OF INFORMATION INCOMPLETE/MISSING
same here, had that message about 3 times, even after they had received DS 230 again (after message had changed to " we have received your checklist letter response on..."
Nothing to worry,if the operator says all is good. There seems to be two places at NVC and they don't always communicate well.
You will get DS 230 soon, or a checklist letter. Answer to it and you'll have case complete real soon.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedureshow do I know
Hi
I moved recently and sent an AR11 for change of address a while ago.
How do I know they got it? Calling them is kinda worthless, as I couldn't seem to get outta the automated system which was really confusing anyways.

So, how do I know they got my new address?

I got thjis checklist for my K3 visa and had to return it in order to be scheduled an interview date.

for my cr1, I did not receive it and I don't think it's needed
germangelFemaleGermany2006-06-09 08:43:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresChange of Address
the alien has to inform USCIS of any move until citizenship is aquired. after you received your greencard, I don't think the petitioner has to inform them of change of address.

Alien should use form AR11 to report change of address. Also, call USCIS and tell them about the mistake they made with your name and such.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresAffidavit of Support
Hi there zauberblume,
hope I can help you with a few of your questions

1. our letter was somewhat like this:

FRN 2006XXXXXX

To whom it may concern



For the I-864 which I submitted for my wife, [name], I was required to send in the tax returns for the 3 most recent tax years.

I was a full-time student at [college]for the years 2004 and 2005.

My gross income for 2004 (single) was less than $ 8,200 and for the year 2005 (married filing separately) it was less than $ 3,200.

According to Chart A on the Instructions for form 1040, I was therefore not required to file a tax return for those 2 years.

I did include my tax returns for the year 2003 and have found my father to be a joint sponsor for my wife as I do not meet the minimum income requirements for the I-864.


Sincerely yours,


2. age doesn't matter

3. If the income is sufficient, why use the assets and go through all that trouble. I don't know if you need a real certificate over the value of the house. Sorry, can't help ya there.

4. If there is no birth certificate available, you can submit copies of all pages of his passport and have them certified. It's as good as a birth certificate then.

If you have any specific questions about Germany and the consulate in Frankfurt, you can PM or email me

good luck for the whole process

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedureshow to get your tax returns
I know my hubbie spoke to an operator to get his verification of non-filing. I know that last time I tried to order over automated system, they said it can't be sent so talking to an operator is a safe way.
You can also request a verification for non-filing per fax
