IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Personal Checks	most banks will add a person to your account without an SSN, i think. but they must be physically present and have some sort of passport. not sure about this because we are not that far yet! haha	tokyo.lovers	Female	Japan	2010-06-20 00:26:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Different details in I130 and DS230	you should probably fill out the DS-230 accurately. if you happen to get any RFEs (which maybe you won't?) you can just explain the problems to a supervisor. or you can attach a note with your documents that you send in??? anyone else have some better info on this?	tokyo.lovers	Female	Japan	2010-06-20 00:20:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Confused	i know somewhere one of the documents say to fill out a petition for every person coming. is that for the NVC?? the DS-230 maybe? i forget. not too sure about this one! good luck on research!	tokyo.lovers	Female	Japan	2010-06-20 00:08:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	checklist before interview	Went to embassy to check the package arrived or not, the lady we talk took my passport to check she came with my papers. my husband ask about the checklist, she said bring co sponsors 2009 tax return.my hus told that lady he(co sponsor) already attached 2008 and NVC accepted it. but she said we need to bring the copy of 2009 tax return on the day of interview. glad we found this information before the interview.because the checklist nvc sent to us is not mentioning about this it only said employer letter and proof of country domicile Just be sure to have a copy at the interview to be safe!! they will probably ask for it.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Can Spouse Move to US and file Adjusement of Status.	some people enter on tourist visas and then apply for the I-130 and get approved. BUT there is ALWAYS a chance you will be denied because it is fraud. but if you already started the process it is too big a risk to come before the interview. just wait it out. the kid can go to school once they arrive. schools are lenient.	tokyo.lovers	Female	Japan	2010-06-18 19:23:00
