K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsHOW LONG BEFORE US CONSULATE SEND PACKET3

I call the embassy, and the DOS phone number too, the embassy told me they don't have the case yet, and the DOS told me that when they receive the case from DHL, it takes time to do the security scan before the log it into the system, he ask me to keep waiting.which I don't want.I fear the interview date might pass and I don't even know.

 

Call NVC, they scheduled the interview and were suppose to email you with the interview date. I think they might still send you the mail if you ask.

Or at least they can tell you the date of their interview.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresNVC Case if process of termination??

I have never hear of this but i think it will  most likely  be an error. You can call NVC right away. They are open from 7:30AM.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCaught between the NVC and USCIS

Yes, i definitely made mistakes and should have been less trusting, and followed up better.    However, when i did call USCIS, the lady repeatedly assured me, it was normal to send both that way, to NVC.   (Even after i reminded her, this was CR-1, instead of K-1.)

 

Thank you, nyrhythm, for the ombudsman info.   ...I'll try once again this morning, to call USCIS, and tell them, NVC refuses to check the package, as the USCIS told me to ask them.  

(I wish NVC would at least take one quick look.  The folders were together, and it seems such a mistake is possible.   After all, my daughter's folder IS somewhere.  Either at USCIS or NVC.   Even if neither of them can find it, or will even look for it.)    

And I'll ask to talk to a supervisor.    ( I recall seeing a post for contacting a higher tier supervisor, but i haven't been able to find it again. 

 

Then, after they tell me yet again, that they cannot track it, without a receipt number, which they never gave me... probably I'll try to contact the Ombudsman, when I return from work tonight.

 

You are right. USCIS sometimes sends only one receipt notice for  two applications sent together. That happened to me. I called them and they said not to worry about it and that they had both. When the NOA2 came, they came in different evevelopes  for mother and son even though they had only sent one receipt notice. So try the OBODUSMAN route and see wat happens.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresGot NVC Case number, gave e-mail address, what next?? Please help!!!!

 

Thanks for the quick response, Is it i230? I am just confused coz never heard of this. What do these applicant documents consist of?

 

I-230 is the Immigrant registration form your beneficiary will complete and send to NVC together with supporting documents. The intructions will be included in the email from NVC

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresGot NVC Case number, gave e-mail address, what next?? Please help!!!!

Hello All,

 

I called NVC yesterday and got my NVC case number, it appears to be of Mumbai Consulate, I gave them e-mail addresses of me and my spouse, How long do I have to wait before they contact me?

 

Do they contact through E-mail or Snail mail?

 

What set of documents are to be exchanged at this point with the NVC?

 

Is there anything I need to be ready with before they mail me?

 

 

Please throw some light on this subject:

 

Thanks in Advance for all the help you guys have been doing.

 

You can start by gathering applicant documents  since these take time to put together. You should get the email some time next week since this week is short due to July 4 Holiday. There numerous links on here for the i230 check list so you should check them out and strt getting the docs together.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI've got lost with NVC

Hello

 

We have received a notification from NVC by e-mail telling us "This case is being processed by the National Visa Center " and  our case already has an NVC case number.

At the same time I have received an email with "ACL FOR NEOPOST DS-1200 " and some files attached. To be honest I dont understand what the next step is. What I should do? My husband sent an email with our names and birth dates and all that kind of information.

 

Does anybody know how its works ? 

 

When do we need to send Affidavit of support  and  with which documents ? how i need to pay for it ( its 88$ right ? )

 

Open the attached folders and read the information contained there in. Its contains the AOS and representation notification form DS3032 (not sure of number)

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresProne to Administrative Review

Hi everyone,

 

I want to know if there is any chance of dragging my case into Administrative Review by CO if I will submit new DS230 and I864 during my interview. Reason for re-submission is

1. Change of Address.

2. Change of Income status - when I filed my I864 to sponsor my spouse, I didn't have any job so I got cosponsor to support while my case was at NVC. Now I just got the job.

 

Does anyone here experienced anything like this before?

 

Thanks

 

Submit a change if address with USCIS  and for the AOS, if your co-sponsor make enough money, then just leave it like that. Even though you have gotten a new job, the CO may want you to proof history of financial stability by asking for prior years taxes which i think will be a problem for you.

My advice would be to change your adress with the post office and all you mails will be redirected to your new adress. No need to change adress with consulate

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCalled my Senator's office - Didn't end well.

I am doing my best to be patient and you are right it is not helpful to stress over it as it does not make the process go any quicker, my fiancé has been calling some days they are polite others they can be extremely rude. One lady he talked to back in March was the most helpful anyone had been she spoke to him and also sent him a letter stating our RFE could take up to 90 days we are have counted the working days and that will be up June 17th, funny thing is I sent and e-request end of April which I have a feeling is an automated reply saying our file was with a review officer and would have a decision within 60 days. Its a waiting game but a hard one when you see others who are being approved within 5 months. Thank you for sharing your story it has made me feel a little at ease to see yours was a long process like ours smile.png

 

Wendy71, i am happy i was able to help. They had all my documents (NO RFE was sent) still they took so long just to review them. I waited untill i just gave up calling untill one day, i open my email and voila! they sent an email saying they have approved it. Now the waiting game at NVC is going on

Some time patience is the answer. I know this might not be the aswer you are looking for but stressing your self is not helpful  and qill not solve your problem. It might actually creat another .. I applied in feb 2012 and didnt get approved untill appril 2013. That is a year and 2 months. if you are past 6 months then you can call from time to time to check your application. Otherwise, give the guys time to do their job
