IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresSpouse visa processing times

Hello Darnell and KDH,

 

could you please tell me why the applications are sent to the local office for adjudication? Doesn't NBC/MSC process it? Also, how can we track to find out about local office processing times since they do not have timeline for the I-130s? 

 

thanks for your help and reply in advance.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresNeed help

if your marriage was not consummated before you filed for the I-130, then you are not eligible for a visa; and you stated in your above post that the marriage was not consummated at the time of the interview.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresNew I-864 RFE Part 6

i am not sure but the instruction states that the fields should be left blank if it does not apply to you. so, i think you should only write the #5 amount in #10 field if you do not have a co-sponsor.

 

a senior member can comment on it for clarity.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresDS-230-- Divorce Decree (For Petitioner or Beneficiary)???

DS-230 is for the beneficiary. So, you should not send this since you must have already sent a certified copy with your I-130 to USCIS.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAUGUST 2014 K-1 FILERS (TSC)
Good luck to all of us.

My fiance sent out the file on august 19 and we hace recieved NOA1 and its been routed to california service center. We should get the hard copy by next week.


cloud9gtNot TellingPhilippines2014-08-28 09:59:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAugust 2014 filers

Hi cloud9gt,

 

We have the same NOA1 date. We also didn't get the hardcopy within the given timeframe.

So my fiancé called USCIS and the representative told him that the notification is wrong, it should be up to 30 business days. 

Well, those days have passed and we still didn't get the hardcopy. That didn't keep us from getting the RFE notification (text message). Now curious to see if we get the hardcopy. If we don't by the end of next week, my fiancé will have to call them again to check if they have the correct address on file.

You may want to create an account on USCIS website to get their future notifications (text message and/or email).

Hope it helps.

 









 

Thanks for the reply annem....

 

I have heard that the hard copy is not really that importan but the NOA2 is though. I hear that as long as we get a receipt number and its in the USCIS site then it should be ok. I just hope we get an NOA2 sometime this month if it goes smoothly. 

 

Good luck to us all. This is where God tests out our patience.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAugust 2014 filers

Hello,

 

we received NOA1 on august 26, 2014 through text and email. its say that we were suppose to get a hard copy but never got it. should we worry? we did check the receipt number about our status on the USCIS website and it reads....

 

your Alien Registration Number was changed relating to your I129F, PETITION FOR FIANCE(E). Please check our website at www.uscis.gov for further updates on your case. Please wait until the end of normal processing time before calling customer service at 1-800-375-5283 for live assistance.

 

Hopefully its still good to go. 

 

did you guys get your NOA1 hard copy soon after the text or email? thanks

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresConfused on where to file i-29 and 1-130

hi guys,

 

my fiance has called the 1800 hotline for USCIS 3 times this month once every week to ask where would she file my form and each time she called she got 3 different answers from each phone call. at 1st they told her she had to file it in Oakland, CA, the 2nd time they said SF, CA and the 3rd time they told her Phoenix, AZ. She even asked why it keeps changing and the lady told her that that's the information that she's pulling up. So right now she's confused on where to file it. Please help.....Thanks in advance.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresPCC from Reg Passport Office Kolkata, India

I got PCC from Kolkata, PSK (Ruby). It was simple..I got in line early and the security noted my name and application number. The security comes every 1 hour to note down the details and puts your Q number on the application. After this you can have tea or something as you no longer need to be in line till gate opens. Note: You have to eneter all details online and then take print of the application.

The gate opens at 9am and the security will call the Q number. Only applicant goes inside. The enquiry  counter inside sees the documents and gives a file and gives token number. Look at the monitor for token number and go to the cube # for photo and finger print to be taken. The Rs.500 fees is paid here. After this go to other cube, when the token is displayed to get verification done and then go to the C zone to get PCC granted. PCC was given in less than two hours. All verification from Police Station is online.

 

No photo required: it is taken with finger prints.

Photocopy of 1st two and last two pages of PP. There is photocopy machine inside. Cost is 1.50 /copy.

If the address is same as passport no document is required.

 

Impressed with the work and speed. In less than 2 Hours and PCC given smile.png

 

Agent cant do anything, only applicant can go inside.

Yes that means that they are processing OCTOBER 2012 filers as of the moment. But we don't know if that is really accurate cause when I checked July, August and September it also showed OCTOBER 2012.

USCIS Service CentersUscis Processing case in the order it was received???

*** Thread moved from CR-1 Process forum to the USCIS Service Center forum -- topic involves rates of processing. ***
 
(Moderator hat off)
OP, your turn is probably coming soon.  The analogy isn't completely exact, but consider:  You enter the shortest checkout line in a store.  However, it moves the slowest.  You're able to see that the longer lines have simpler and smaller groups of items.  The few people in front of you have coupons, the cashier needs a price-check, a customer has the wrong credit card, etc.  People who got into the longer line after you got into your line are being checked out (processed) before you are.
 
In the above example, you can see, tell, and realize what's going on.  Conversely, the USCIS process is so opaque that it would frustrate a saint.  As hard as it is, keep the faith.





Thank you so much for that wonderful response:)) I'll keep that positive spirit up:)) Godbless!
