IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresIR1/CR1 vs K3

I was replying to LadyJane's comment about things being pretty equal moneywise with the K3 because of the removal of conditions when going with the CR1 visa. If the AOS process isn't finished before they've been married for two years, then they'll receive the 10 year card and won't need to bother with lifting of conditions.


Right! Sorry I seemed to have missed the part you quoted. :)

Actually you bring up a good point about the AOS process. A K3 married less than 2 years can most definitely put off AOS so when they do get their greencard it will be after their 2 year anniversary and they'll be granted a 10 year greencard. I believe Pushbrk and his wife are doing just that.

Cost-wise they'll need to pay the EAD and AOS separately since the EAD will be filed first. While the OP doesn't need to work in the U.S., she'll need the EAD to get an SSN.

I agree with you about both being pretty equal moneywise in the long-run.

You'll have to lift conditions (and pay the fees) regardless of whether you get a CR-1 or greencard from AOS after K3. It's not $1010 though, it's a bit less than that.

As for getting an SSN, you can get one after entry as a CR-1 but if you enter as a K3, you can only get one after you get your EAD or GC.

Linda, it really depends on how fast you want to get there and how much you want to pay. For some people it's worth the cost of being reunited faster. If you go the K3 route, you'll interview in Vancouver which currently (and historically) schedules interviews MONTHS faster than Montreal. I'm not talking a couple of months, I'm talking at least 4 months faster, closer to 6 months.

Some things to consider. If you do decide to go the K3 route, your I-130 may be retained by USCIS which effectively removes the option of you being able to pursue both K3 and CR-1 at the same time. You can file (and pay) for it to be forwarded to the NVC but that can take up to 6 months for them to do or longer.

If you are married less than 2 years upon the issuance of your CR-1 or greencard (obtained through AOS after K3), you will still need to file lifting of conditions after 2 years. That part doesn't change no matter which route you go.

So really it's up to you. How much time you want to spend apart, how much money you're willing to pay for processing, if you're able to remain unemployed in the U.S. while waiting for an EAD (if you go the K3 route), etc.

They'll still have to remove conditions if they finish Adjusting Status before their two-year anniversary.


They have to do that regardless of which route they go because they've been married for less than 2 years.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresA little worried
If you need him to sign papers again get him to FedEx or UPS it over to you. It's expensive, but worth the piece of mind. Same with submitting documents to the service centres. Definitely get some sort of tracking on the package (signature required or not) so at least you know when it was received.

Hopefully the service centre is just slow with opening and putting things into their system. Good luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresA little worried
Did you check to see if they had cashed the cheque yet? On the back of it will also be your case # assigned where you can track it online. 3 weeks seems like a long time... see if the cheque has been cashed first.

Whenever we send anything in, we get tracking on the package (with signature) so we know when it is delivered.

Make sure that it's original signatures on each of the 4 pages for each of your G-325A as well (i.e., not just one page photocopied). Good luck!

They've had the passport for 8 months? That doesn't sound right. That's something that should be checked on.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 or K3?
K1 are faster than K3s since you only file the I-129 (whereas with K3s you need to file the I-130 and then file the I-129 when you get the NOA1 for the I-130) but it's a single entry visa so you can only enter the U.S. once until AOS. You can file for Advance Parole but you need to have a good reason if you need to go back to Canada.

No problem. This process makes us all a little paranoid. I know I was super paranoid about every little detail when I started reading all of this and submitting paperwork. :)

K1s are only interviewed at in Vancouver and Montreal. Since you're in Toronto, it will be Montreal. The NVC will forward to Montreal regardless of what you put.

Your case number will be on the back of the cashed cheque. You can sign up and view your status online using that number to see what the status is:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresVisiting each other during K-1 process (Canada-USA)
seavan2004, it's enough to drive you crazy huh?

You're fortunate though that you have the option of going to see her in Vancouver as it's a relatively short drive. I know it's not ideal though for the reasons you listed. Many people don't have a problem at the POE but some people do even if they are showing they are doing things the legal way with filing for K1 and showing proof of ties.

Luck of the draw, but always have her bring proof of ties to Canada. As much as it sucks, and I can't believe I'm saying this because it's something I am always worried about, is that they turn her away at the border. Also, always be honest at the border too because if you don't, it could come back to bite you both in the ###. Be straight with them, answer their questions but don't give them more than they ask.

Someone here in another thread had a good example of that, answering their questions without telling them anymore. The correct answer to, "do you know the time?" is "yes".

Good luck!

The G-325 consists of 4 identical pages, all of which need to have original signatures. One set for the petitioner and one set for the beneficiary.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedureshow much cost me lawyer
sounds like she wants to bring her husband over - she paid for an immigration lawyer, only to find out that they don't really handle immigration (after a year?). she wants to file for a K-3, but she wants a lawyer to do it. she's wondering how much a lwyer will cost and how long it will take with a lawyer to get the K-3 processed.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNOA2 approved...now what?
Hi Rick,

It's me redcherry_123...Congrats for your NOA2 aka approval. I'm happy to hear that from you. What I said...VSC is very speedy and relaxed... It's quite unbelievable too sometimes, as other Indonesian fiance(e) experience a very long process. Anyway, it may deal with luck too:)

I gladly help you with my experiences with the US Embassy in Jakarta.
The following is my answer to your questions:
1. You have to know NVC number, so better you wait until you receive NVC letter. Because your fiancee can call the US Embassy in Jakarta and ask if she can pick up packet 3. I suggest you to call first...since the consular officer little make a fuss about it. I think you will receive the NVC letter within a week or may be a little longer after NOA2. In my case, my fiance received NVC letter earlier before NOA2. It's pretty unsual.

2. I suggest you to translate the documents like birth certificate after you receive PACKET 3 from the US Embassy since in the packet, it's described whichj sworn translators they appoint. Don't translate the birth certifcate documents especially with any translator, they will not receive. The point is that better to wait for the packet 3. Everything is clearly described there. Don't take a rush in this process. Like my experience, I translate documents with any translator, but when I received the packet. They only agree with their appointed translator, so I had to spend more money on this. I suggest you to have more original duplicate of birth certificate of English translation [your fiancee + her child]. You will certainly use it for AOS + other processing too.

3. Rick, about the number of photos, it's also described in the packet or forms. Regulation changes from time to time, but may be the same...with my experience. Yes, for medical exam, the medical clinic will require 2 photos [at that time the clinic require 3/4 style of photo - old style of USCIS ...strange!!] AND for interview, it also requires 2 photos. So it's totally 4 altogether. I suggest you your fiancee make a call to the clinic about what requirements they need for medical exam, specially about the photo sytle.

Hope this helps your case. May I know your e-mail add [only if you don't mind],,,who knows I can ask you more questions later about your AOS,,,yours can be quicker with mine. Thank you also.

E-mail : spanish_gags@yahoo.com

Addition to answer your question #3. So long as your fiancee's son goes with her to enter the US or apply the visa. Her son needs photos too. I'm not sure if her son needs medical exam too, so better she calls and asks about this at the same time when she makes a call when to pick up her Packet 3. Better to make a list of questions when you call the embassy...it's very busy and pretty hard to speak directly to the consular officer.

Good Luck.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresINDONESIAN interview
Hi,

I also went thru the US Embassy in Jakarta. From my experience, when I had my medical exam on Apr 25, 05. Then, I went to the embassy the next day for screening documents. And to my surprise, I got interviewed at the same day, since my documents were complete. I do know a friend I knew from VJ, she lived in Jakarta and she got called by the consular officer thru her cellphone for her interview.

I think the US Embassy in Jakarta right now may be busier than usual. May be, you need to wait another week. Then you as the USC, I suggest you to call the embassy and ask the consular officer about your Indonesian fiancee's interview date, when?? I suggest you this because they might be more friendly to the USC :). That's my experiences.

If you'd like to ask more may be you can contact me thru my e-mail : spanish_gags@yahoo.com

Hope this helps or at least give you a glimpse of picture.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresThe 90 day thing?
Yes, K1 is really stricly within 90 days you guys must get married. Otherwise, you'll have future problems.
I don't know what paperwork problems you're referring to (since I don't know your situation), you can have civil wedding as an option, if you have problems with church paperworks.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK-1 / I-129F evidence of relationship
Hi William,

I also went thru K1. In your timeline, you wrote that you met your fiancee in person in the year of 2002. And it means that it's been over 4 years you guys don't meet each other again. I don't know if you met her within the last two years, since this is the requirement of K1 visa. Upon my interview at the US Embassy, the officer didn't even want to look/touch the evidences of ongoing relationship or the like. They only took affidavit of supports, birth certificate or these kinds of legal stuff...but to be well prepared doesn't hurt though, as different people have different experiences. Good Luck.

What city does your fiancee live?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresConfused bu happy
if any of you guys have read my posts in the past you might be a little familiar with my case. anyways here goes. I met my wife online through hi5 in april of last year we maintained a friendship online. Before I had met her she had been accepted to go to school in Berkeley. On May 14 she had an interview for her F-1 visa which was approved. Although I did like her our relationship did not go beyond mear attraction and a nice friendship . However things started to heat up so i decided to go visit her. I went down in July and fell in love . I asked her to transfer to New York so I could be closer to her. She obliged and recieved confirmation on July 22nd. She entered the U.S. on Aug 8 2008 and came to visit me. Our relationship intensified during this time. Driving home from work I was like I am going to marry this girl somehow someway I am gonna make it happen. I came home and proposed she said yes..... and I asked when I was like tomorrow. She said are you crazyyyyy. LOL I told her lets get married now Well have a religous ceremony in the future . She agreed we went to the courthouse were not allowed to bring a camera to the courthouse and married she proceeded on with her classes in New york but withdrew early to return to Colombia. I petitioned her had a couple bumps due to delays in processing and everything went smooth sailing until thew first interview. My wife was questioned how did you meet him. when did he come visit you. When did you enter the U.S. and where she told her ny and look puzzled my wife proceeded to explain that she had transferred to ny . Her visa was issued for the school to berkeley. She said she wanted proof of attendance and transfers. then she spoke to me asked me for the same things. and told me that my case looked very bad... we might be talking about a permeant ban inadmissability. She handed me a white 221g slip requesting documents to determine eligibility. We obtained the documents, pictures of her being in ny and school, transfer records provided a timeline. We were never called for an interview.... A consular worker handed her the pictures told her it were hers to keep and proceeded to tell her her visa was approved the co does not need to see you. I went crazy i was happy.... I was a little surprised the Co made no attempt to prove bonafide relation did not question her about ny again nothing not what she likes not what he liked..... i saw a red flag post i fell under like 6 of them lol and not one question I am stunned do not know what to say opinions?

Hello Guys! Just have a quick question. I sent my RFE correction papers yesterday via USPS Overnight delivery. I logged in awhile ago and track my documents. Apparently USPS attempted to deliver my package at NVC and left a notice. I tried to call USPS to arrange a redelivery for my documents but no such luck. My question is do you think NVC will pick up my papers at the post office or would the post office will redeliver it 1st thing Monday? Because it said that if the item is unclaimed after 5 days it will be returned to the sender. What's the best thing for me to do? Thanks!


They will redeliver. This happened to a couple of February Filers also.


DANG 3 responses in less than a minute LOL!

guess mine is too long to read lol should have waited for during the week lol
