IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAHAHAH 5 months!!!

Today are 5 months i am waiting to have a NOA2.

 

I really don't know and don't understand why Nebraska gives as deadline 5 months to have a NOA2!

 

Usually they teached me to not lie, NEVER!

 

But i see the US governement can do it without any problem at all!!

 

I will keep waiting for more 5 months I guess, but my trust on the US system is dropping LOW LOW LOW.....

 

 

Hi Camelott..even when I was waiting for my NOA2 California Service Center gave a wait of 5 months...buuuut...every 2 months the wait increased...so I got my NOA2 after 19 months...don't lose hope

Nope overstays are forgiven once you married citizen. And its under s certain time (i think its 180 days) so no waiver. You wil be fine.

I hope It goes well!! because the second visit (may 2010) I didn't know about my overstay, and I did tickets for 90days but immigration gave me only 30 days.

The last time I visit US (december 2011) I don't understand the time before, they told me that, I can't use again Visa Weiver Program, you need a Tourist Visa now!! so they ask to me if I can pay $585 for I-193 for enter in the US, if not they have expelled me. So I pay and I can stay for 24 days...after this we can start our visa journey. So complicated, I hope this doesn't compromise my visa..

Transcripts are not required - especially in a country like Italy (low fraud)

 

 

But if you have access to them, there is no harm in bringing them along too.

 

Just have everything you can in your folder. The more the better.

Thank you for the reply!  :)

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion about I-130 (Spouse)

If my spouse and I are residing outside the US, is it wise to file the I-130 and show the international address or will it be better to show that she is still residing in the US  ? Does it make any difference where to file the I-130 ?

 

 

Hi, no matter where you file I-130. I think the address on I-130 will be US address

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)AP Missing Documents..how much time??

 

Every AP is different and because of the delicate nature of your situation it may take time because they have to investigate wait for that end to do what they need to do and it just takes time. No one can give you a time. Sorry.

You're right..I'm so worry..and they know that because I wrote exactly the same word in the DS-260 like police certificate! what they need to investigate?

Well I hope its true what they are saying because that means waiting time would be over soon and we are waiting for his visa in order to go on vacation before we go to the sates... so frustrating..... anyhow I submitted my paperwork on june 14 so it should be any matter of day now.... They told me i needed to submitt a copy of my tax return for 2013 even if i did not work..... I know the law does not require me to file taxes if i didnt work and i told them that but the interviewer said regardless of that you need to submit a tax return even with a zero income.... anyhow so i filed my taxes online with zero income and then mailed it the next day to the embassy.... May I ask you what paperwork they requested from you and when your interview was? Also, did the interviewer tell you the same thing :" Congratulations you are approved but in order for us to issue a visa for you your petitioner has to submit a copy of a 2013 tax return?" That sentence there was weird because they could now not approve the visa if they didn't like it ahhhh I am so dissapointed and miserable.....

Yes, I know how you feel!! but don't worry I think they wanna only be sure you are not income for 2013 year.

They ask to me some criminal record about my father, because in form DS-260 was a question about substance trafficking, so they need to investigate (I think) I'm okey..I have had my interview 21 May, but the interviewer tell me "Thank you for be honest, but I'm sorry to continue your case we need some documents.."  :(

Don't worry if they tell you are approved, will be so, just they need to review your send documents!

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)221g administrative process

It takes that long? Now I have read what it said in these forums but I just find it a little hard to believe.... I asked the interviewer here in paris how long it takes them to process the paperwork once they receive it and she said 7-10 business days.... do you guys think that could be true or did she just tell me that to get rid of me lol....?

Wow! just 10 business day! I think they don't have any reason to lie, they don't care how many time you need to wait, so if they tell to you this wait time will be so!! happy for you so lucky! 

Can I ask to you what kind of documents you missing?

My husband had interview in abu dhabi us embassy last sept 23 2013 for immigrant visa until now still under AP. It's more than 10 months now. I contacted senator and even congressman, no response! It's so frustrating to see our son growing up without a father. Why this is taking so long? He has no criminal records.

I'm sorry Ycnan, last active of Mel here, was October 2012  :(

Well, they are right but it depends..it can take few eeks or one month or 3 months..You just dont know when the AP will finish..You can only do one thing..You just wait and keep checking your case online and be patient...We cant do anything else about it..

Yeah I know..  :(  Just one thing, I read they get denial from section 221(g) for missing documents, so if is so they need just to review documents sent or they need to do some investigation? you know something about this?
