Good luck on your interview Jason and Sasha!

And now after all troubles and delays in this proces, today I find out that the Embassy in Belgrade is temporary closed because of Kosovo situation. They don't even know when will be open again.
Can anybody tell me what hapens in that kind of situations.
We are almost done and now we are very confused.

Thanks everybody and sorry for my english!


i dont understand why the embassy in belgrade should close because kosovo is now independant...that confuses me, especially since people from kosovo werent even using that embassy, they were using the one in macedonia...how did you find out this news? try calling DOS and see if they can help you out...im sorry for your situation, and your english is near perfect, please dont apologize


I find out today. I called the embassy on the phone and the man who answer told me that. Problem is that Kosovo is independant and Serbian government didn't approved that and it is something with diplomatic relations with US... Actually I don't even understand all this and all I wont is to be with my love. I hate politics!!!

Thank you babybluesusie and goodluck on your fiance interview!



oh i get it now...the united states backs kosovo, and serbia doesnt approve, so it creates tension between them...im really sorry for your situation, i hope it resolves itself quickly!! thanks for the wishes


Actually the embassy is closed because some Serbians stormed the embassy lighting it on fire and a few things. THat is why they closed the embassy to keep the workers safe.



Yes, I know that now. They do that in thursday night and now it's even worse. Embassy was closed a few days before that. I hope ewerthing will be fine soon!
Thank you!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresApostile Documents Required at the Embassy Interview
When I was preaperin for my Interviev in Belgrade my Birth Certiphicate was expired (more then 6 monts). I called them and they told me it is fine and I don't need another one.
It was original with Apostile on the back.
After that Embassy in Belgrade was temporary closed and I had my Interviev in Zagreb, Croatia and ewerthing was fine.

I think the worst that can hapen is to ask you to bring another BC after the Interviev but they will approved your Visa aneway!

Good luck!

I meet a girl when I was doing my medical in Belgrade and she told me that she was ask for tourist visa twice while she was in the proces and they said no. I am not shore why. That was last year. She is in US now and that did not cause any troubles later.
So, he can trie but with no to much hope.

It is hard, belive me I know that, but you must have patiens and one day you and your husband will be together and you will forget all the problems and troubles you have now.

Goodluck and ask if you have any questions!

If you can speak Serbian it will be much easily for me to answer.

USCIS Service CentersCSC currently working on applications with NOA of Jan. 16th '13

Just got off the phone with tier 1 customer service on the national customer service line - My NOA was Feb. 1, and its currently July 2, just 1 day past the 5 month processing estimate.  I called to inquire regarding what the delay was and the CSR typed something on the computer (i think) and said that CSC is still working on Applications from Jan. 16th.  But I see a bunch of ppl with Feb/March NOA1's being approved on Igor's timeline list.  

 

I asked the csr if that means I am about 2 weeks worth of applications ahead of me from getting my NOA2, and he kind of mumbled like sort-of.

 

 

 

Okay just got off with TIER 2 Immigration Officer - she confirmed that CSC is still officially on Jan. 16th applications.

USCIS Service CentersWhat happens after a Service Request?

Try calling again.....I just got my response from my service request back:  It was weird,... first they notified me that they received my service request and that they would render a decision within 45 days, 2 days later (yesterday) they notified me of an address change (even though I never changed my address), then 1 hour later they notified me that a new alien number has been issued to me (I think it was the same notice i initially received when I got the NOA1 notice), then today they sent me an e-mail saying my petition has been approved!!!!  It works.  call and ask for another service request.

 

 

 This was the response I got. Not promising at all

------------ QUOTE ----------
February 6th filer awaiting approval while March, April and May get approvals. (AKA BS) Passed the 5 month mark on July 6th. Contacted USCIS multiple times and talked to tier 1 and 2 reps. Put in an e-request as well for my petition being "outside normal processing times". The response below is what I received via email, which basically says "ya we know, it will get done when it gets done." Don't count on them doing the job they outlined on their site. This system was designed with serious flaws and you can't navigate a maze of incompetence very well.

USCIS Service CentersWhat happens after a Service Request?

My I-129F k1 visa application is currently outside of normal processing times.  I called to complain, and they said they would put in a Service Request.  Anyone knows what typically happens after they put in a request?

Chinawe canceled K1-visa interview date - how do we reschedule?

My fiancee and I had an interview for k1-visa scheduled at the GuangZhou embass for next week.  However due to a complication (inconclusive TB testing during the medical exam - they need to re-examine her in about 1 month to see if she just has a lung infection or TB...the doctor's think its just a simple infection, but wanted to err on the side of caution), we had to cancel her interview.  We want to reschedule a new interview in 2 months.  However, once she canceled online, it won't let her select a new date?????  Is it because all the appointment slots are filled already?  or is there something else she needs to do?

Chinatransferring large dowry from China to U.S.

No US taxes.

As far as the US is concern, the money has to traceable to a legal source. And it is not meant to pay you for a sham green card marriage.

 

nope, she is just from a very very wealthy family.  And the money would be put in her separate bank account.  So it would not come to me but would be for her to use.

Chinatransferring large dowry from China to U.S.

My fiancee just received her K1 visa.  She will be receiving a rather large ($100,000+) dowry from her family.  I heard somewhere about a 50,000 rmb limit on money leaving China?  Does anyone have experience on how to bring the money into the U.S. from China?  And will she be taxed in the U.S.?  in China?

US Embassy and Consulate Discussion3 years of tax returns for I-134 affidavit?

I have an employer letter staying that my income is over $150k a year  & that I have been working at the same place for 10+ years.   I  also have significant real estate assets.  Do I still need to provide 3 years of tax returns?  If so, can i just make a copy of what I previously filed to the IRS?  or do I need to get some kind of "certified" one or some other kind of statement from the IRS validating that the tax returns that I provide are accurate?

US Embassy and Consulate Discussionwhat happens after NOA2 & NVC - GuangZhou Consulate

I received notice from the NVC (I have the case #) that they have sent my package onto the US consulate in GuangZhou.  The problem is that my fiance lives in two places (beijing + a smaller city about 6 hours away).  We used her Beijing Address in the initial 1-129F petition, but she is now living at her other address and just keeps her Beijing condo empty for occasional visits.  I do not know if she will be able to pick up her package promptly if the GuangZhou embassay mails it to her Beijing address.

 

My question is two-fold:

1)  Should she notify them of a change of address?  (I really don't want anything to cause more processing slowdowns)  I mean technically she can still receive mail there since she owns the Beijing Apt.

2)  If I don't bother reporting an address change....What are the instructions that would be in the packet that they mailed?  Can I go ahead and schedule an interview appointment at the ustraveldocs website without having the package in hand?

 

Thanks!

US Embassy and Consulate Discussiondo i need to complete DS-160 before I can schedule an interview for K1?

my petition was just sent from NVC to the Guagzhou China embassy.  I have my case # and would like to get a head-start on the paperwork.  Do I need to fill out DS-160 before I can schedule a K1 fiance interview?  Or do I just need to fill out DS-156 and DS156k?  But if I don't complete the DS-160, how will I be able to schedule the interview?  any help is appreciated. 

 

 

this was on the http://travel.state....forms_4401.html website.  

 

Visa Categories Not Using the DS-160

Yes. If you are applying for a visa in any of the categories below, you should complete the DS-156, not the DS-160. You must also complete the DS-156K if you are applying for a K-1 visa.  If required, you should also complete the DS-157 and DS-158.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionGuangzhou, China Interview Appointment

So, we have got to the point to make an interview appointment.  Go to the ustraveldocs website, sign in, enter all the information required.  Then, when we go to the Make My Appointment, there is a notice saying No Appointments Available.  The calender, when you hignlight any day, of any month, for the next 2 years says Not Available. 

 

Of course, the phone number for the consulate has a message saying don't call here for information on visa interviews.  So, we are scratching our heads.  One field did show on the form online Priority Date August 30.  But, the dashboard of my fiance says "No Appointment Made".

 

Anyone else running into this problem?  I know they were moving locations of the Embassy, and am wondering if that has put a hold on interview appointments.

 

Thanks for any clarity on this.

 

Did you have to file DS160 in order to schedule the interview online?

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionI made a bunch of mistakes on my 1-129F....my NOA2 already approved

My I129F petition was approved and went through the NVC and has just been sent to the embassy in China.  I was going over the forms again with my fiance when she realized that I wrote her china address wrong.  and also wrote her name in Chinese characters slightly incorrect (a few missing strokes).

 

What do I do at this point?  Should I call the Embassy and try to get them to correct it?  should i call USCIS?  Will correcting these mistakes result in an additional delay?

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionHow do they send/mail the P3 Interview packet?

My I-129F petition was approved, sent to NVC, and was just sent to the China embassy in GuangZhou.

 

I made a mistake in the beneficiary mailing address (written wrong in English), but the mailing address written in Chinese is correct.  Can anyone who has already received P3 interview packet know how the embassy writes the mailing address to be delivered?  In English or Chinese?  Also what delivery service do they use?  "kwai-di" (UPS/DHL type delivery)?  or regular postal mail?  Thanks!

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionGuanZhou Embassy - K1 visa - how long after interview

My fiancee's interview is scheduled for 10/22.  She wants to buy an airline ticket to the U.S. for Nov. 3.  Is this too risky?  anyone know what the average wait time after the interview is to have the Visa in-hand?

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionI-129F petition expires? Help!

We already received our NOA2, and a I-797 Notice of Action notifying that the I-129F peition has been approved on July 25, 2013.  However it states that it is only valid from July 25, 2013 until Nov. 24, 2013.  What does this mean?  Will my I-129F petion expire on Nov. 24?  

 

We are currently at the China Embassy stage, and waiting for an interview to be scheduled.  If I can't get the interview scheduled and the actual I-129F visa issued before Nov. 24, 2013...will we have to start over?  Does the I-129F uscis petiton then expire?  HELP!!!!!
