IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	AOS & IV bill pmt?	Ok, simple question..how long after your NVC file gets put into the system does it show up on the payment portal for your AOS and IV bill to be invoiced so that you can pay? Our info was put into the system on Nov 8, this past monday. I have the NVC Case # and the IIN #. thanks I'm in the same situation as you, CRN. My case was entered on the same date. I keep checking payment portal to pay bill. Hopefully, tomorrow it will be invoiced! Good luck with your NVC process!	Markieboy	Male	Philippines	2010-11-11 20:25:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Prolong NVC Process	Your Hubby can pay it whenever he'd like as they will not case complete your case without the aos and Iv packets. If you are worried about being approved too soon then wait a month or two before sending in the paperwork. yes it expires 6 months after the approved INTERVIEW date not medical date. You should be fine as long as your interview date isnt before March. Hi Markieboy, We're planning to travel US on the 3rd week of July, perhaps.. So, I think your suggestion of paying aos and iv bills on January 2011 is workable enough.. If ever we pay it this early and just delay the sending of packets, will it do the same thing? What does really matter? the paying or the sending of forms? Most of my reading says that it's 6 months after the medical exam. Good you enlightened me about that. I haven't had my medical yet. We're not making any move now after receiving email of NVC saying our ds3230 has been received. Thanks! eia That is a better choice. Pay both AOS and IV bills now. Then send the packets in January. Both options will result in a delayed case completion. I don't think it matters too much. But I do prefer the 2nd method. Good luck with whatever you decide! And Congratulations on renewing your wedding vows!	Markieboy	Male	Philippines	2010-11-11 08:59:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Prolong NVC Process	Hi VJers, In contrast with all others are aiming, we are to prolong our NVC process. Husband and I are going to renew our vows on July 2011 here in the Philippines and we are worried that the visa might expire before our 're-wedding' date (since it only has 6-month expiry) if we pay aos and iv bills and submit aos and iv packets at this early.. ds 3230 have just been received by NVC and iv bill is generated. Hubby is hesitant to to pay it at this early. When is the best way to pay for it and send aos and iv packets? and, does all cr-1 visa expire 6 months after medical exam? Thank you all in advance! --eia You both are planning to renew vows in July 2011. How early can you travel to the U.S. after the ceremony? If you pay your AOS and IV bills 1st week in January 2011, your case should be completed in a month. Completed case sent to embassy in Manila. Depending on Embassy's schedule, your interview may be in 1-2 months. You're looking at an interview maybe February or March 2011. The visa expires 6 months after the visa was approved, not after the medical exam. BTW, did you do the medical yet?	Markieboy	Male	Philippines	2010-11-11 08:24:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Quick question	ah sorry,forgot to mention i was asking this about during interview,not in general! Thanks for the reply and for your confusion,i had forgotten to mention i was asking about how necessary it is to have them during the interview, not generally Ah, well that changes the answer! Anyway, good luck with your journey!	Markieboy	Male	Philippines	2010-11-11 22:32:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Quick question	Hello Everyone, Just needed to know if it is REALLY necessary to have the I-864, all co-sponser information, including copies of tax information and asset information or they wouldn't always ask for it and it's just an extra thing? Thanks! Yes, it is REALLY necessary to have I-864, Affidavit of Support...including all the related documents. These serve as evidence required to show USCIS that you, the petitioner, can support your beneficiary. Also, that your beneficiary will not be a public charge. It is NOT just an extra thing. Good luck with your journey!	Markieboy	Male	Philippines	2010-11-11 22:06:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	NOA2	Another option - complete the interview. But POE can be delayed to April. Normally visa will be valid up to 6 months after the interview. Beneficiary needs to enter the U.S before this visa expiry. Loto Better option, IMO.	Markieboy	Male	Philippines	2010-11-11 00:16:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Question~!	I know there is a small glitch in the ATTN part for AOS and IV, if you put both packages in an envelope and mail it. I did mine in separate packages. I think you can use the address above as you mentioned, but highlight outside the envelope, both AOS and IV packages are in the envelope. It is basically 2 departments within NVC. Loto Was wondering the same thing. Thanks for the tip, Loto! Will do that when my time comes.	Markieboy	Male	Philippines	2010-11-12 18:36:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Friend of mine gave up her journey	QUOTE (Immigration Hell @ Sep 25 2007, 12:47 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Today I got some sad news, a dear friend of mine who has been going through this visa process has decided to give up the journey. I couldn't believe it. She told me her and her husband has agreed to go there seperate ways because she's tired of waiting for a visa to be issued to her husband. She told me this could go on forever and she is not willing to go on like this indefinitely. She has been waiting for two years. I was so sorry to hear this news. I'm wondering does this happen quite a bit during the visa wait??? I can't seem to wrap my brain around this process causing the divorce of two wonderful people. Any thoughts anyone? Is this America? Aren't we allowed to marry who we want in pusuit of happiness? I mean 2 years if PROOF of a real relationship. Aaaargh! Sorry, just a rant in sympathy with people stuck in limbo with a dire choice to make.	ding	Male	Thailand	2007-09-28 20:05:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Joint sponsor/ co-sponsor	I have searched but I guess I need direction to where I can find my answer...Just a little info on my situation..I am USC and I did have a joint/co-sponser in line to sponsor my husband but I have been having a hard time with her to get together and tell her what is needed so I asked another person but he wants details of what he will be responsible for...To my understanding I would be the main sponsor but my income doesn't meet the guides... Is a co-sponsor and a joint sponsor the same? And what is the co-sponsor/joint sponsor responsible for? Please if you can give me a link or explain in detail what they would be responsible for would be much appreciated so I can print it out and explain to this person... Thank you all	ezzeswife	Female	Tunisia	2010-08-15 23:56:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	A Question about income	Tammy, you are good to go then. But note that 2010 poverty line guide is not yet published. Every year, they will increase the threshold, watch it out. If you have some other assets such as bank balance, home etc., it would be helpful. Loto I hope by then we will be passed the part where income comes in but I doubt it...If I still need a joint sponser I will keep asking friends and family or keep crying on their shoulders until they give in ... Keep smiling Tammy	ezzeswife	Female	Tunisia	2010-08-26 15:57:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	A Question about income	Tammy, Your son must be at least 18 years old to include his income as household member. You need to include your son also in the household. You can show all other income in I-864, sum (part-time income, child support, just your SS disability income) it up for an year and enter in Part6, Item# 23. Loto Thanks Loto that is what I thought...I still can do it without my sons income but it is like 1500 over the poverty level guide so I barely make it... As far as expediting my case 'Not' LOL my mom got offended when I asked her... Have a good one... Tammy	ezzeswife	Female	Tunisia	2010-08-26 15:46:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	A Question about income	Hello all...I have read alot on the income requirements and at first I was thinking I would need a joint sponser...I am having a very hard time getting one so I am here to ask questions if I can just do it myself... Ok this is my story...I was involved in a very bad car accident in July of 2001 that has permantly disabled me (but I don't let it slow me down) I won't go into details about my injuries but I am unable to work full-time so I get Social Security Disability but not SSI it is SSA classified as retirement benefits. I also recieve what I was told survivors benefits for my son (who is 11yrs old) which is in his name but I am the represenative payee and goes by his SS number but paid to me..for example it says (To Tammy ***** For My Sons name)...I also recieve child support from my sons father and I work part time(about 3hours a day) 9 months out of the year for a school... I was told by the Social Security Office that I would not lose my benefits because I am married now..As long as I am disabled I will still recieve it... But my questions is can I use what I get from SS from my son? and on the I-864 where do I put this info as income from SS and child support..Or do I have to attach an explanation...I have a very good paper trail that shows I have recieved this including child support... Thanks to all that reply Tammy	ezzeswife	Female	Tunisia	2010-08-26 11:41:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Interview Passed!	Hi everyone. Just want to let you all know that my wife passed her interview yesterday! Yay! Here is her account: Everything went fine with the consulate officer. Except that it was a long wait period. There were so many people there. I arrived 715am., and I was done with the process at 1215pm. So to all of you having an interview in the Manila US Embassy, allow yourself probably 4-5 hours of total wait and processing times. There was a pre-screener who was more meticulous than the consul. The pre-screener asked for our evidence (emails, chats, pictures, etc.)The consul pretty much asked me questions from our forms like he was using them as a guide. Pretty much information from our biographic forms. Oddly enough, the pre-screener didn't ask for our other original documents. But, that's not to say that you should not bring them. It's still a good idea to bring those documents because you might encounter a pre-screener or consul who is different. In other words, just come prepared. My overall experience was that it was tiring. Just a long process. But it was worth the wait. My wife and I would like to thank all those who contributed thoughtfully all their experience to these forums and their support as well. And to all those who personally helped us (you know who you are ), thank you soo much For all you newbies and those on your way, just hang in there and never give up your faith and hope... This website is more than just information. It's about a support group from people all over the world to come together and share their experiences. And through those experiences, wisdom will follow for others to hear. Whatever your journey in the visa process may entail, we hope and pray that you and your loved ones are blessed and protected. Just be patient, for it is in His time. God Bless you all....	Aimee and Albert	Male	Philippines	2009-05-27 12:12:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	DESPERATE for HELP, PLease	I'm assuming your attorney is your "agent" (individual that deals with correspondence between you and the nvc) right? I would have your attorney call up the NVC to clear up this biographical error and have the NVC change your wife's middle name reflecting her father's last name (family name). Did your wife also change her name on her passport to reflect the proper info? The visa that is issued will reflect that biographic info on her passport as well as the info on the DS230.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Church wedding in Philippines	QUOTE (ellmvl @ Jun 29 2009, 06:31 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Are those documents were asked by the church where you are planning to do the ceremony? Since you are already married, all you have to submit is a copy of your marriage contract and maybe a copy of the Certificate of Legal Capacity to Contract Marriage. If the church is asking for Certificate of No Marriage then explain to them that you don't have those in the states. Anyway, as my experience...we have only submitted the marriage license from the city civil registrar and both our catholic baptismal certificate. Go to the office of the parish to clarify this thing. Actually, they were asked by the Chancery Office of the Roman Catholic Church in Cubao. Anyway, after extensive searching on the internet and calling, I came up to the Vital Records in Washington State. And I can use what they term a "Single Status Letter" They will do a thorough search and show that I have not contracted marriage in the state of Washington for the past 10 years. It will have the seal of Washington on it. I paid $35 for it. I hope this will be good enough for the chancery.	Aimee and Albert	Male	Philippines	2009-06-29 12:04:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Church wedding in Philippines	Hello to all VJ members, I hope all your journeys are going well. And that you are all well on your way to having your loved ones with you. My wife and I have been civilly married already in the Quezon City Hall of Justice. And we have just got her visa issued just this month. However, we still would like to have a Church wedding in the Catholic Church in the Philippines. And there are some documents that I have to furnish on my end. I have to obtain two documents. *Certificate of Search of Marriage *Certificate of No Marriage. I come from Washington State. Is there anyone out there that would know what government numbers to call or where to inquire? Because I remember obtaining a "Affidavit in Lieu of a Certificate of Legal Capacity to Contract Marriage" form the US Embassy in Manila because the USA doesn't keep a central statistics office like the Philippines. We used that form to become civilly married there in the court system. This is straight from the US Embassy, Manila website: "Any foreigner who wishes to marry in the Philippines is required by the Philippine Government to obtain from his/her Embassy a "Certificate of Legal Capacity to Contract Marriage" before filing an application for a marriage license. This certification affirms that there are no legal impediments to the foreigner marrying a Filipino (i.e, that the foreigner is already married to someone else). Unlike the Philippines, the U.S. Government does not keep a central statistical registry for births, marriages and deaths and cannot verify this information. Instead, the Philippine Government accepts an "Affidavit in Lieu of a Certificate of Legal Capacity to Contract Marriage." So I'm kind of confused here If the US Government can't verify this information, how am I able to obtain those two documents? Is there an equivalent document? Thanks. Any help would be greatly appreciated.	Aimee and Albert	Male	Philippines	2009-06-29 08:10:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Getting Married to File CR1	Good evening. This is my first post, but have been reading and researching for a while now. I am currently engaged to my Canadian fiancee. We are starting the process if immigration. We have decided for her to move down to the US. We would like to marry in October in the US, but we understand that to legally do that, she must obtain her VISA prior to entering. So, ideally, we would like her to be able to start working right away, that is why we are looking into the CR1 VISA. My first question is if it is "frowned" upon if we got married up in Canada in a civil ceremony to make it legal so we can go the route of the CR1? We only live 45 minutes from each other across the border, so we see each other a minimum of once a week. We are going on 2 years together and three months being engaged. We have been on plenty of trips together and can prove with photos, tickets, etc. We don't want to cause any questions to be asked if we got married just to obtain a green card for her. Our main goal is to get her down here and authorized to work in the shortest time possible. Thanks for any answers! If this has been asked and someone has a link, I would be more than happy to refer to that, but I have been searching for a while and have not come across any posting addressing this specifically. Thanks again! Edited by westcon5, 12 January 2010 - 03:06 AM.	westcon5	Male	Canada	2010-01-12 03:05:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Canadian citizen going thru I-130 can visit US?	Similar to CanAmBride's experience, my wife and I live just on the other side of the border from each other. I am the petitioner living in the US. We have had no problems crossing the B.C. border. However, (I know it is a pain) but my wife carries a binder full of her ties and equities from Canada with her whenever crossing. We go across once or twice a weekend and sometimes once during the week when schedules allow it. We both have Nexus cards as well, so that is a huge help. I am never in line more than a minute and the Canadian officials rarely ask me anything. It has never been questioned when I mention my wife. She has been asked by US CBP a few questions, but usually they jokingly say better get the immigration process started because it takes a long time! No kidding! By the way, we just came back from a cruise and entered back into the US in Fort Lauderdale. It is convenient that we are still traveling under two different passports because we can generally take whatever line is shorter (US or Foreign) and both of us go together in that line. While disembarking the cruise, there was only one couple in the Foreign line, and CBP directed us there since she was Canadian. When we approached the counter, the agent simply stamped our ag. cards and waived us through...no questions. So, it is totally up to the agent you encounter that determines your luck. They do not have to allow the recipient entry if they feel they might stay. Bringing the binder of proof she needs to return to Canada will be helpful when she encounters an agent that wants extra explanations.	westcon5	Male	Canada	2010-10-25 11:06:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Affidavit of Support Question	Any US citizen or LPR can be your co/joint sponsor. From what I've read here on VJ any outstanding tax debt would be deducted from his income number. Example: income of 100K - tax debt of 10K = 90K income to considered by adjudicating officer. Awesome! Thanks for the response! That is great news! It has been depressing being alone and unsure if we would be able to meet requirements for everything. Found out I was pregnant with our first pregnancy after I returned to the states, then we just lost the baby and it is turning out to be incredibly difficult to handle while being seperated. It's just all SO much! Working full time, maintaing a home, supporting my pregnancy, filing immigration w/o a lawyer and doing it all on my own. Thanks for the encouraging news!
