IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresOnline case status?

You can register online yourself, u just need the receipt number in making a portfolio and the system will just ask you to fill datas. A touch means when the latest updated date on the portfolio section changes without a change on the message.

I didnt know that was possible... I went and made my portfolio on uscis........so touched means they actually looked at it??? I dont know if thats good or bad lol we filed on 010307 there was a touch on 011307 then nada since then... is that normal?????



touch means somebody has seen or opened your case
though it doesnt guarentee any speedy process but yes its totally normal
nothing wrong in it .

Hi,

I received my NOA1 from VSC on the 3rd January 2007. Just thinking of registering to the online case status. My wife has petitioned for me, so is it possible for me to register or my wife has to register.

I read through some of the forums and I keep seeing "Touched" on some of the timelines. What does this mean and how do you know when you casr hase been "touched"?

Thanks




You can register online yourself,

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresTravel after arrival in USA but before final Green card?

I think that my fiance (then husband (L) ) should be able to take a quick trip to Canada shortly after he arrives in the USA and activates his CR-1 visa (gets his temporary greencard in his passport) but before the final Green Card arrives in the mail. But does anyone have any actual experience with this? Or know where USCIS/immigration officially states this?

Thanks!



he can but dont prolong the stay much he has too explainhis prexent stay later on

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresWhat on earth is going on with Vermont??!!!

Hi all,

We filed in mid feb for the IR1/CR1. I just went to the USCIS Vermont website which was just updated (Mar 15th) and was miserably dissapointed when the I130 date hasn't even moved a day from Mar 12 2006!! what is going on?!

K1 visas seems to be processed fairly quickly and while i am happy for them, its really unfair that the spouses have to be apart so so much longer :crying:

Do we go on a different production line and that production line is broke??? cos it don't seem to be getting anywhere!!! :angry:

I have filed for my K3 (more out of necessity to get to my hubby asap) so there is some hope at the end of the tunnel as that seems to be moving. But my preference was definately for the IR1. Just seems that they are preferring to collect the extra $$ for the next step and that seems kinda underhanded.

Anyone who filed in Feb for the I 130 for vermont with good news?

Sorry for the rant. Just had to vent a little :hehe: grrrrr




you have still time for i-130 to get accepted but yes k-3 moves very fast but yes again its true may be they want to make extra dollars :wacko:

my NOA2 approval took exactly 5 months. there weren't any touches in between and then out of nowhere i got email notification. although it's not easy you just have to be patient, some people who filed before me are still waiting.

hello jediknight

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedurescan i make my brother in law as the choice of agent

I don't see why not. When there's an attorney in the picture, he is often agent. And those attorneys for darn totting are *not* sponsoring their clients ...

As I understand it, the role of the agent is mainly to collect mail and get it on toward wherever it needs to be, keep petitioner and beneficiary aware of calendar issues, and that sort of thing.



yes thanks
i will keep record of all stuffs he does so that nothing is delayed in the end

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresMistake on G-325A

Here's the really ridiculous story, it's about messing up a name:

When I filled out my G-325A, I put say "Mark" as my dad's first name because "Mark" is what everybody has been calling him for all his life. He even has insurances in this name etc. Then, after sending off the form, it hit me that "Mark" is in fact his middle name, but is still the name he goes by. I wouldn't have freaked out about it but on my birth certificate (where of course both parents' names are listed), it says say "John Mark", indicating that "Mark" is his middle name, not first.

Could this be a problem? What should I do about it? Trying to notify CSC? Waiting for NVC or even the embassy? Or is it not important? How should I go about?




if your dad isnt the petitioner then if they ask you can always explain them that in the interview
if you have proofs etc to show that his name is mark then you can infact go by that
but if you think he may immigrate later on or stuffs then you should rather get this change done
its not a big issue for you i had same kind of prob with little change so i had taken advice by lawyer
she said
"it wont matter at all if my father doesnt want to immigrate and if they ask in interview just explain it thats all"
hope this helps you

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCorrecting a submitted form


It may appear minor but is it? First post there appeared only one error on the G-325A...further down there appeared to be more on the I-130. We dont really know how many corrections need doing. If the G-325A is as what many prior posts have stated, really not important, then one would think making corrections to that over the phone, as was said could be done with the I-130, seems to contradict that. I have always been of the belief that the G-325A is very important as it is what is sent out to the various departments for any security checks and/or field investigations. Why not correct any error early in the piece on any documents, when it can be done, as opposed to waiting till the petition process is complete and at Embassy.

Lorelle


Howdy... sorry for my lack of clarity above. The mistake that I made was in the attachment to the G325-A (those addresses in the Philippines are way too long for the forms). I accidentally overstated the length of her last address abroad by two months. However, where it asks you to list all the places you've lived for the last 5 years, I put it right. So I wanted to make sure I correct this so it's clear to them what's what and where she actually was for those two months.

There are no mistakes in my I-130. What I was trying to say was that when I called the hotline, that's the only thing that she told me she could correct. She said that she couldn't correct the G-325A information. Hope this helps clear the discussion up a bit :) Thanks for all your help. ttyl,

mich




even i had same prob i didnt put my med school adreess coz it was my permanent address but i think i had no prob my g-325a form was accepted because my permanent address was my home address
but in form ds-230 i am going to write all addresses where i was staying despite their will be more confusion i am going to put all temporaray addresses too

can i ask 1 thing what is an Rfe ?

Hello VJ members!
Just a while ago my hubby received this email from USCIS.Is this the notice of approval?
We are a little confused becoz last week we just responded to the USCIS's mail that we received asking us to fax them my hubby's copy of Naturalization cert plus the cover letter entitled I130 upgrade request since we wanted our I130 be upgraded. we were touched (faxed the papers on March 20)the next day and just today, we received the email. we are confused if this notice is for the approval of our case or just the approval for our I130 request for update???

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresTracking Recently Approved I130 Petitions

I thought that I would start a new thread since many of us have both I129F and I130, and aren't sure how or when the USCIS will be applying its new policy. I suppose petitions approved after 10/23 only would make sense, as that's when the policy was implemented.

Hopefully this will help us see what the USCIS is doing, and whether we can actually rely on what our NOA2's say. And whether or not we need to file the I824. Once people start having to file the I824, maybe we can include that too to see how long that takes.

Should I also include whether each person has an approved I129F?

I'll add more people later, since I'm working off of the I130 timeline, and not everyone's signature indicates whether they are pursuing both. Let me know if you want to be added, or if you know how to format, feel free to add yourself :)

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedureswhat is the normal timiline for i-864 bill to be generated at nvc ?

the I864 is not a bill, maybe you got confused when writing the message. before the I864 package can be generated, you have to pay the AOS Fee Bill. this is generated at the same time as the Choice of agent DS 3032. i called on tues and they were both generated so i sent the $70 for the AOS and emailed NVC from my wifes email address chosing me as the agent. my wife just received email confirmation 2 days ago that her email request for Choice of Agent was received. this does work if you want to speed things up, it took 3 days. look at my signature for dates but i remember reading somewhere that the automated service is updated tues morning, so call then or call and talk to an operator.
JK

Dear Madam,

NVC has received the Agent of Choice selection. The Immigrant Visa
Application (DS230) processing fee bill will be sent to the designated agent on the
case. The fee must be paid according to the instructions before that form will be sent.
Please allow two to four weeks for the designated agent to receive this fee bill.

Regards,
National Visa Center



thanks so much jediknight for removing my confusion i was kinnda lot confused with this
you know what my husband called me up today and told that he called up nvc and nvc send the ds-3032 to me and the i-864 packet to him

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresmy CR1 visa rejected under section 221 (g)

i am real sorry for what happened to you. i think your wife should check into hiring an immigration attorney to straighten out this mess. I hope that it will be taken care of very soon.


hello everyone,
I went to islamabad embassy on march 28 and my visa denied and they put rejection stamp , they didnt give me enough explanation that on which basis did they rejected my visa all they said , that you are unable to prove that ur relationship with ur petitioner is not solely immigration to the united states, we sending back ur case to nvc for further recommendations "


I dont know why did they punish me so badly , i gave them all proof phone bills, pictures, wedding pictures and in the end they screwed me so badly now NVC will forward my case to uscis and uscis will ask for more proof, i dont know wat the heck i suppose to do , can any one suggest me wat kind of proof uscis is going to ask and what should i do next time , i dont want another rejection stamp on my damn passport, it really hurts so badly i waited for 3 years and i got this reward if anyone went through this hell please let me know how did they fix their problem

i need help asap i am in very big trouble


itsok brother , but my wife got one already and she is going with her to uscis on monday lets see wt happens she told me not worry our case is very strong we have enough proof but i feel like i am ###### , i ###### up 3 years now i regret getting even married to be honest i never though that this visa can be so messed up man f*k it




hey your posts did upset me a lot
and when you had enough proofs they rejected the visa i couldnt understand that at all why they did that for no reason at all
travelling ll the way from united states to isb, pak isnt the joke but for your case its better your wife takes out some time and spends a month or so with you that will be the biggest proof of the ongoing relationship
i hope everything gets better soon
take care.

My wife told me that she signed the DS-230 part 2 in front of the PRE-INTERVIEWER and not the US consulate.... but it was still signed.... and then it was not brought up anyomore by the US Consulate.

Hope this helps.




if she signed it in the embassy in front of pre interviewer i m sure it must do fine coz they must have done tht way to save time

just curious



it entirely depends on the individual case, and service centre
csc at present is processsing faster than vermont have a look at their processing times in their official site

doc_cute,

I understood your point, I sense that you've missed mine.

The mistake he made in the interview was failing to prove that he and his wife have a bona fide relationship. The burden of proof is on him to provide whatever evidence he wants that will be convincing. He failed to convince.

Yodrak

yes i got your point what i meant was what mistakes he made in interview that such a thing was told was he falsely telling facts or he didnt have proof of communication

My case is received by NVC 2 days ago and they will forward case to ucsis and then my wife is going to get the letter from uscis for further extra supportive documents,

Here i am confused really alot My wife went to USCIS office on 2nd of april they told them we dont receive ur case it is going to sent to texas and texas dont have phone number i dont know is that true or not if some one has their number please share it by the way is it really true that they sent denial cases to texas,

2nd thing what should i do , i know i did mistakes in my interview , but it was mistakes and not mistakes my wife was not able to come to see me in 2 1/2 years coz she had to take care of 2 family memebers and both did 4 times heart surgery , that was main reason she was not able to see me in 2 1/2 years

i showed them proof she didnt accept it i dont know why

now what should i do , should i hire immigration attorney or my wife should give them proof of our marriage by herself what and which way is going to be safe for us , now my wife is able to come to see me , but is it good idea to come to pakistan with out getting reaffirmation from uscis or should she wait to get approval from them and then come to pakistan and spend some months with me and also go with me to interivew ,


I really need help i did talk some attoreny and they assured me that we will fix ur problem with in 4 to 8 weeks , so i need to know which way is safe way

I hope to hear from some one soon

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresfinally filling up my ds-230 form got a short doubt

doc_cute,

Is your father dead? If not you should not write that he is. (He is not your "ex father" if he is your biological father. Dead or alive, loved or hated, saint or scoundrel, you biological father will always be your father.)

If he is dead, and you know the date, give the date. Even if you know only the year. If you do not know the answer to a question then 'unknown' is an appropriate answer, but only if you truly do not know.

Don't worry about an inconsistency with the G-325A. Even if the inconsistency is noticed, timely correction of a previous error is better than continuing the error.

Yodrak

hello

i was sending my form of ds-230 to u.s to choice of agent

had a doubt

my ex father divorced my mom long back and now in all my certificates he is not mentioned late including the passport but in my g-325 form my husb made me write late to his name

i want to remain consistent with his name as late in ds-230 form too but my question is that they ask the date when he died

can i just mention as UNKNOWN ?

will this create problem or should i write any date
pls advice ,

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresfinally filling up my ds-230 form got a short doubt
hello

i was sending my form of ds-230 to u.s to choice of agent

had a doubt

my ex father divorced my mom long back and now in all my certificates he is not mentioned late including the passport but in my g-325 form my husb made me write late to his name

i want to remain consistent with his name as late in ds-230 form too but my question is that they ask the date when he died

can i just mention as UNKNOWN ?

will this create problem or should i write any date
pls advice ,

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresApplying for two different types of visa

Sorry for the typo, it's an H-1b visa.

And thank you all for your help.



i think if your partner sticks with his h-1b he can get Lpr soon
however you can take advice from a good lawyer
good luck !
