IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresPlease help......
The Petitioner can list his PO Box as a mailing Address, but he needs to mark it as a MAILING ADDRESS. Additionally he has to put his home address as a residential address on the petition. We had this issuie - our petition got approved at USCIS and just passed the NVC. All the correspondence the Petitioner got to his PO Box. Good luck!

Try to open the form in Foxit Reader program for PDF files. Makes any USCIS protected forms fillable and editable (and savable!). Good luck.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresExpiration date versus edition date on I-130 form
Hi everybody,

I'm having difficulties with understanding what an expiration date on I-130 form really means ( upper right corner). I've found information on the edition date ( if I am correct, it means that certain form is valid at the current moment), but I am not sure what to do with the expiration date. I-130 form available on the government web-site right now has 1/31/12 as an expiration date. Does it mean that if we file it on January 30th, but send on February 5-15th, it won't be valid any more?
Thanks for your replies!

I'm going to make this a gardening weekend - if it's not too rainy. It's supposed to be a warm weekend so I'd rather spend it with my hands in the dirt getting the flower beds planted. Otherwise, I'll be watching to see how the CSC filers are progressing.

Hello!

We are Lvivlovers and we sent our forms in March.


May be someone could help me with the advice,we are waiting almost 4 month for NOA2 for CR1 and K3 visa,but still there is no any results,

I begin to worry,because most of all I am crazy in love with my husband and I don’t want to miss any single day without him in this waiting process,
May be someone could answer me why the California Service Center can’t prove our forms still?

Especially I can’t understand why the processing time statistic shows another results here:

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresHELP,What a temper has Georgia State Congressman?
I am shoked,what the are thinking about when they force us wait so long????????




We are waiting for I-130 for 128 days

and I-129f 118 days


All your Congressman would get is a letter from USCIS stating your petitions were still within their normal processing times.

Pushbrk is correct. The congressman can't speed up the process any. They can inquire, but they are not allowed by law to pressure them, at least that is what a letter from them told me.

I'm from Georgia and someone from John Linder's office called me at my desk and I have talked to her a few times.

If you are waiting for the p2, the amount of days you are waiting are not very long. Augest 15, it will be 1 year wating for my p2. I do have a different situation, but I have contacted a senator and a congressman and it did not speed anything up.

Good luck

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresSpouse Visa for a Russian citizen

Hello Everyone! I have a question concerning a visa for my husband (as of one and a half weeks!). I am American, but my husband is Russian. He lives in Moscow, and I am currently studying in Canada. We got married here in Moscow, but only the ZAGs wedding. We are planning a second, church wedding in New York for next May. That will be the one for my family and friends. I have already reserved a reception venue and made arrangements with the pastor and the church for next May, so everything is set--except for my husband's visa. He has never been to the States, or out of the country in general, except to Turkey. He applied for a tourist visa once, but was denied. After the wedding, we are coming back to Moscow for one year, because I will be doing my graduate coursework in Mosocw. But after that year, we are planning on moving to the States. So the problem is, what type of visa should he apply for? With an immigration visa you have to spend more than half of the year in the United States, but we are coming back to Moscow after the wedding. So I was thinking that he needs a tourist visa, but I have heard that he is not guaranteed a tourist visa just because he is married to an American citizen, and that they may be suspicious that he will try to stay there on a tourist visa. I am really worried about the fact that he may be denied after I have made all the wedding arrangements there already. He really just needs to go over for 1-2 months, that's it. So is a tourist visa the best way to go? Besides the necessary documents, I guess I write him the invitation, and also I will try to provide a copy of the reception contract and a letter from the pastor. Unfortunately, I don't have any documentation from the graduate program yet, that would prove I'm coming back to Moscow. Has anyone had a similar situation? Any advice would be helpful, concerning type of visa, approximate processing times, how to improve his chances, and what's the possibility of him getting turned down?
Thanks a lot!
Alexandra




Hello Alexandra,i guess it would be very hard to find such type of visa for your husband,since they always conect this to the possibility that he will stay there,and even if in Russian for some reaosn he could get this visa,there is not a garantee that in the airport he will be allowed to stay in your country,but you could try,who knows may be this day in teh embassy will work a nice person who could understand your situation...

Oleksandra.
