WOOOOOW that's amazing news!!!! So happy for you. This is some hope for all of us waiting to get our case numbers!! Posted ImagePosted Image
So was it the first time you talked to an operator at NVC or you talked to them before and they said no case number?


I have spoke to a person many times...I was told after I was approved to wait 15 business days then call back. I asked what if it was 20 days and I still have no case number and the nice lady told me to email them my approval notice(Ron posted the steps on what to do in here or another thread) I emailed them this past weekend and called last night and I got the case number...Keep the faith and call everyday...I have found that calling them when the first open (7:30 am est) or later in the evening (10:00pm est) are the best times...I have never waited more than 2 minutes to speak to someone...

Thanks!!

My mother-in-law has stomach cancer, it's a terrible disease I would not wish upon my most hated enemy.

I will be calling a few times a day until they get it, I can be pretty persistent :devil: and pi$$ off the right people. LOL

My mom has stomach, lung, and it is in her lymph nodes...We found this out 2 weeks after I came back from getting married in Tunisia...So not only the stress from this visa we almost lost my mom this summer BUT she is an amazing woman and is fighting all the way...The cancer is getting smaller...

Keep your persistentancy (is that a word LOL)

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresBonafide Marriage proof??

You can add your marriage certificate, tickets and boarding passes of places you traveled to, pics, call and chat logs just to name a few


I dont exactly know how forums go, but I have question. I have over 500 pages of our chat logs, is it OK to rubber band them together? Also, when I mail I-130 friday, the order I-130 G-1145 G-325A. What order should these be. I have marriage cert, translate into english, passports, photos, electric with both names, rent agreement in both names, internet and phone in both names, clear police record of husband, medical insurance for Tunisian husband, real photos
chat logs, cover letter, plane ticket and boarding passes, my divorce cert. So am I missing anything? Should all the actual forms be the first in the packet? thanks

Hi Liz and all!

I was in a bit of a stupor while I was in here earlier. I got up early to talk to Lampros yayy. We hadn't talked for a while properly so it was nice to catch up on the week!

How's everyone? Rainy and cold here but I'm good!



Jamie, where did you move to Washington from? How do you like it there?

Hey, back from the day! We just went to a whole lot of antique/book/junk stores, yay! My moms business deals with buying/selling used books on Amazon so it was more of a business venture for her and I did have a nice time watching the nearby country side go by!

I moved here (Washington) from Virginia. I was raised in Washington so it's kind of like getting back home. I really like being back so far. Even though it's a little chilly I feel more comfortable and relaxed and even less stressed out since being here.

Glad to hear all is well with you Jamie. Be careful not to go too far North. I hear the Canadians really hate border jumpers.

I've been up to Canada a couple times through the border near here. It's not too much different than the area here as far as the trees and all of course but has the weird feeling of a different country lol.. I don't think that makes sense biggrin.gif Probably better.

When Lampros comes we'll have to be careful not to get too drunk and end up in Canada in some weird and miraculous way and mess up his AP!

Thanks Liz! Sounds like fun that he's really excited about his new home, it's a good thing for sure and pretty cute hehe.

Hi Igor! Staying busy? I'm out today to Anacortes with my Mom, it's a town north of here but still not in Canada, strangely. It's near the ocean and hopefully will be a nice day, I just need some redbull/energy/coffee maybe some sugar too.

Take care all!

Ok I looked it up on Vj:

"As a K-1 Visa Holder you are eligible to receive a SSN upon producing a valid I-94 (unexpired). Do
not wait until you only have a few weeks left until your I-94 expires to file for a SSN. Many SSA
offices will not allow you to file for a SSN if your I-94 is about to expire (generally 14 days prior
to the expiration on your I-94). On the other hand, you should also not file for a SSN too soon either.
You should wait 2 weeks after you arrived in the US before applying for a SSN. If you go too soon your
record of arrival will not be in the SAVE-ASVI system yet, and it will require manual verification from the
USCIS. As this will add weeks to the period it takes to process the SSN, it is advisable to attempt to wait the two weeks to be safe. If you have waited the 2 weeks and they tell you they can not verify you arrival record via the SAVE database, you may allow them to to process it (but remember the potential delay for manual verifications). You can ask if they will check the computer again for you in a few days or return personally to have them look again -- thus eliminating the manual verification. The manual verification will require the SSA office to file a G-845 with the USCIS."

So we are supposed to wait 21 days to get the SSN and have to get married within 90 days? I wanted to get married within the week of his arrival and this is a little alarming. So would the 90 days start after the SSN is issued or is the supposed 21 days inside of the already progressing 90 days?

Ooooh Visa, why are you hard on my brain..

Gmorning all!

I had a question about the affidavit as we'll have to do it again, I think the paper work will have expired. I still think I'll use my Mom as the co-signer just because I feel a lot safer about my income requirements with hers added on smile.gif.

When we met in Spain I had sent him home with pay stubs, bank statements, two 1040's, letter from my employer (now invalid) and all the other required documents.

I'm wondering if because my Mom will be co-signing anyways that I won't need to gather all these crazy documents again? What stuff do we need..?

Edit: Morely.. what did you guys send with the affidavit ?

I don't normally pay attention to those horoscope things Jamie, but I checked out the link and it was pretty accurate about some things. Especially my enthusiasm. Extremely general, but a little bit of truth in it. I'll just post it:



It will take work, but it can be done.


wow! You call this General???

I think a lot of things are general in it, or some at least but there are trends that run with different signs. I usually don't get a long with certain signs and do with others but there are always exceptions and always differences between the same signs as well.


Meh, why use horoscopes if we can use crystal ball right?

Well pshh, yeah! Hm.. crystal balls and scary woman with notions of the future is a little scary to me..!
