K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresdoes certain proof speed up the process??????
Thanks again, and know we just booked a small chapel and the lady knows about our visa app. and she told us not to cancel just keep rebooking cause if we cancel then we'll lose the money. We notified TSC that it was just for proof of intent, not going to actually happen on that day

:D

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresChild on I-129
Hey there, just a question of curiosity. I have a nine month old child and his mother and I have no custody agreement. My USC fiance put his name down on the petition and it asks if he will be immigrating or immigrating later. I want him to come with me when all is said and done. So, do I need proof of custody or just proof that I am his father and I want him to immigrate with me???

Lemme know please!

Thanks

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresIR-1 on hold

US Agent? that's usually the CIA staffer at the Embassy -so sorry !

it is possible to hold up visa issuance, but it has to be very speficic, and in real time -
and it's both for your husband.

The most you can do, IMO, is to ask the ILS human to request 'clearance' from the CIA desk at the embassy, for visa issuance.
This will take some manuevering, as well, as most ILS humans only do 'congressional inquiry', and might need to be trained on how to handle 'CIA clearance request'.

Good Luck !


I thought Embassy was supposed to respond to me in a timely manner,thank you for confirming that for me. Since they are ignoring my e-mails, I know they are unsure of what to do until they get direction from the other agency. I have a silly question, what is the ILS human? I've called the Embassy many times and I will call again requesting "clearance" from the CIA desk. Thank you so much for your help. I feel better knowing there is something more I can try :o

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresIR-1 on hold

Man! That sucks royally! I'm sorry to hear this. I can tell you that the American Citizen's Services is most likely never going to help you because they don't have jurisdiction over visas (so they say). They should've told you that when you spoke to them. :( As far as his visa being on hold...if it is a matter of national security, he could be held up for a long time. You can try and contact the Department of State (as it sounds like you have contacted already) and a Congressman to see if they can receive any further information for you. The Visa section of the Embassy is who you need to talk to but an operator is the one who answers. Have you been able to get a hold of a consular officer when calling the USE Visa Section?

Good luck! I hope you are able to get answers soon :) If you were to go to the Embassy in person, you would want to speak to a consular officer and any other higher up you could to see what the issue is. Official documentation of what is missing or wrong would be most helpful in trying to get someone to respond to your request for info.



Thank you for your response. This is a great site and always gives me the motivation to keep going...... I've contacted my State Congressman and we'll see how far that gets us. :)

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresIR-1 on hold
I'm open to ANY suggestions, here are the details in brief....

My husbands IR-1 was approved in Jan of 2008 but he could not travel within the 6 months because of a family illness. My husband is in the Venezuelan National Guard and his recent assignment was working in the ONA office (which is similiar to our DEA). While working in the ONA office, my husband dealt with the US Embassy in Caracas to obtain a tourist visit as he was needed to assist with some deportation cases. This tourist visa was granted within a matter of days and is valid for 10 years. My husband's father is doing much better with his cancer and we have since had a daughter (we have been married for 5 years now). I emailed the Embassy in August 2010 and asked how to obtain the IR-1 again. I was told to submit new tax documents, my spouse submitted a new medical and new police records. He interviewed on Oct 15,2010 and his case went to administrative processing.....this happened with his first case so I expected it. I spoke to Washington and they implied that the AP was completed.

Now here is the big issue...my husband was contacted by a US agent in Caracas. This agent is asking my husband for information about his former boss. My husband has been cooporative however, this agent stated he has my husbands visa "on hold" because he believes my husband know more information.

I have e-mailed the Embassy many times asking for the status of my husband's visa with no response, I've called the Embassy and spoke to the American citizen services (several times) with no luck...It's almost as if they are avoiding me. They do not want to give a denial or tell me his case is still pending-they are just not responding which is unusual for the Embassy.

His visa should be approved because he has no health issues, no criminal record and basically no changes from the last time. As the petitioner, what else can I do to get some information or clarification? Any suggestions on who I can e-mail or if I should try to fly there and speak to Embassy officials....who would I try to talk to at the Embassy??

Thank you for any suggestions---- I'm so frustrated and depressed

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresTraveling while waiting for IR-1 approval

I see from your timeline that he had an interview back in 2009 and was in AP then and then was out of AP on 1/12/09 and visa approved 01/16/09 but wasn't issued as he couldn't leave in the 6 months that is required to exit the country. Why was he in AP then, and why now again?

Regarding your question, I have heard of Beneficiarys being allowed to enter the USA on a Tourist Visa as long as they show strong ties to their country BUT I have also heard the opposite and they had to turn around and go back! I don't see why if someone is in the process of an Immigrant Visa, why they would take a "chance" and stay in the US and abandon all of the hard work and money that has been put forth and why the "powers to be" doesn't take this into consideration!!! :bonk: Yet again, we are dealing with the Government here! :hehe:

Good Luck which ever road you may take!

Thank you.
My husband is in the Venezuelan military and I believe that is the reason for AP both times-the Embassy will not tell as a specific reason so I'm just guessing. AP last time was completed in 90 days, not true this time....still waiting. I'm just trying to explore any option so he can spend some time with our 15 month old daughter, he is missing watching her grow up :(

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresTraveling while waiting for IR-1 approval
My husband's visa (IR-1) is currenlty in administrative processing....so far it's been 4 months. He has a valid tourist visa and I was wondering if he can come to the US on that for a couple of months while we wait for the process to be completed.

Does anyone know if this is permissable?

Thanks :)
