IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresNeed to get NVC case number before they send?
no there is no 800 number only the (603)334-0700 number this is the only line if you call this number and when it ask if you know your uscis or nvc number punch in you uscis number and it will give you your nvc number

buy a calling card or use cell phone to call it is the only way to get right away or it takes time to get e-mail back
2 weeks some times good luck

there both about the same amount of wait the cr-1 is a better visa you will get your green card right away so you can work and travel it is cheaper in the long run.with k-3 dont expect to work for min of 90 days is what i heard.

but you have to be married to file . or there is the k-1 fiancee visa where you get married here

Well actually its not explained in the shortcuts, but from my research i think its been discussed in a post or two, of people having sucessfully done so by email. I might just try that, or have my wife email that I should say


Actually, it is (choice of agent email) is well explained in the shortcut, please read it carefully.

ok yeah i found that now thanks for re directing me to that Ill try that and hope it works, i'd like to have confirmation in less than the stated period of time which by email is about 2 weeks, anyways i think i will do both.....send the email and have the wife send the signed document and send it sometime after the email is sent, in other words when i recieve it from her. Anyways thanks for having me review that i somehow scanned over the first time and missed it


FYI, I just created a US Yahoo email address for my wife and took care of it for her, in her name.


i would of done that also but didnt know if they would track ip address and didnt want to break the law in doing so
but yes very good idea in doing so

well now is the time for her to get all her doc. together and send to you if your going to agent. congrats on approval
you can have her e-mail choice of agent also so if you get case number from nvc and if they send out ds-3032 she can just e-mail just make sure she get auto response message after sending. if she sends you forms before they send anything out then you can send form but it is easier to e-mail and you still have like 6 week before ds-230 is due congrats and good luck need anymore help let us know nvc number is 603 334 0700 call tuesday and sat morming is when they update auto message system

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresform DS 230 (CR1 VISA)
well there are no forms that come with the packet the only thing that comes is the bar code cover sheet and return envolope

yes you did the right thing was down load the forms and sent to hubby along with birth cert and other supporting doc. needed to accompany the ds-230 form

it will take 2 week inbetween each step. then nvc only assigns interviews 2 nd and 3 rd week of the month for following month interviews

so what it looks like to me by your time line april 1 st ds-230 should be generated and if no rfe i dont think you will get may interview it will be a june interview by my guess it will be 318 days to my wifes interview

good luck

good luck but it is best to leave
vbtbmrtMalePhilippines2008-03-18 03:46:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresconfused help..
well the way i understand it her last name now becomes her middle name and her last name will be the same as yours if she wants to take your name but if you file in one name it is good to keep that name through the process so if you file with her maiden name then it is best to keep that name through the process. but it is best to have name change right from the start of the process
