IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresHELP!!!!
My husband never told me he was working on it and getting information today. So fingers crossed! And thanks for the help :)
And pushbrk I do know this. We are waiting on our NOA1. It is a small step forward to a long process that my husband and I are working to being together. And since we have had so much trouble trying to get this notification I was simply asking for help.
So since you have through this process is there anything you can suggest?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresHELP!!!!
Mrs. O that was my error no we have applied in america to the chicago lock box :)

Dave and Kinnari trust me i have been trying to be very proactive and looking at all possible options. I have tried to help my husband understand this whole process. He said he is going to call this week if he doesn't i will be calling myself... He is also friends with a governer that is running for president and will be writing to him too...

magdasal as far as what my husband said he didn't get an explanation and i am going to go with what dave and kinnari said they probably figured we gave up since we didn't respond faster. No NOA1 for first time for application and no NOA1 for the second time we are still waiting...

Hopefully this call will explain a bit more this time around :)
Thanks to you all and good luck in your own journeys!!!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresHELP!!!!
Hi to all fellow users!
I was wondering if anyone can help me? I am from ireland.
I have been having the worst trouble with my application. My story is that we married in september 15 2010. In october we applied for cr1 visa. We never heard anything abck from USCIS. I kept pestering at my american husband and his reply was government holidays these things take time... Finally got him to call in february and we had page 2 of I-130 missing form packet. We had no notification of this from USCIS which was very strange.
We sent the missing page the very next day. I know our application was now to be pushed back so before my husbands trip in march he called again and we were told to reapply due to the length we had waited to see if that would push our application forward a bit.
It was finally sent in april and it has been a month since it was sent.
My husband has wrote to local senator in hope for some help... I have asked him to call again but we shall see when that will happen...

Can anyone enlighten me with this? Or help? I have had 2 1/2 years of waiting to get back and just want to be there like eeryone else

Thanks so much!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresOriginal documents

Happened to me, my originals were not returned to me at the embassy. Everything was sealed in the brown envelope. I tried getting them back at the port of entry, no luck there either. I applied to get them back by filing a G884 downloaded from the USCIS website. I got everything returned to me after a couple of months.


Thanks for that information! If the site i applied too for my birth certificate doesn't work i will look into that G884. I honestly thought we got our documents back :unsure: . Thanks again for your help :)

I didn't have my interview yet but as far as I know , they keep the originals so you better get some more copies (if you don't have them already)in case you need them in future ;)



Thanks so much! My husband found a site i can get certified documents so i think i am sorted!!! Good luck with interview and bring a book or something with you. I was there for nearly 3 hours and they were only interviewing 4 of us!!!

So i have a question. I just had my interview yesterday at the dublin us embassy and i got approved. But when i was at the counter going through the paperwork. The lady told me i would not be getting my original documents back (birth cert and marriage cert).
So i am just wondering if anyone else had this said to them or if anyone did get their original documents back???

Thanks for your help :)
