IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Visa approved!	We want to thank everyone for their prayers, support, information, and kind words! Today my husband was approved for his CR-1 visa and we will be returning to the US together!!! The interview was stressful, because I was confused and only brought copies of the necessary documents instead of the ORIGINALS! But only by the grace of god did they say we were OK but we must send the originals by DHL. Then they will send the visa to us. It will take one week and we will then plan our journey to the US! MY husband says, "don´t forget...believe in god and everything will work out well in your life!" Many blessings, Starsearcher	starsearcher2	Female	Peru	2007-02-06 16:46:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	I-864	you should be fine with printouts from the computer for the I-864. It is at the interview that it only is necessary to bring originals of any forms they are requesting. I had no problems with the k-1 interview with copies i printed from the intranet at my job....however I guess it is safe to get hard copys	starsearcher2	Female	Peru	2007-02-10 13:30:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	February 2008 filers	QUOTE (newenglander @ May 8 2008, 02:24 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Pete is more or less burning his bridges over there and waiting anxiously to be here. He's sold most of everything he owned, his car is almost dead and he's not going to get it fixed, he's sorting through piles of paperwork on his own. I was so lonely for him today that I started to write a little poem about waiting. Yet it's too soon to be anticipating the happy reunion at the airport. GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. This is not a fun time. i'm very curious about that poem about waiting lois! as for me, i'm all ready to send package 3 back. well, i've been ready for weeks now but whatever... i'm still looking at a 5 month wait till i see arash again so not really in a rush. even more, i think once i have the visa i'll be so ready to jump on the next plane.	45495	Not Telling	Belgium	2008-05-08 10:58:00

Just spoke with Pete last night by phone and he sounded down and bored -- "can't get there soon enough." Before I went to bed I checked the USCIS site and it was still received and pending. Not even touched. But I knew from here that it's been taking about 39 days so I was thinking maybe soon........ I never did get the email that I had signed up for telling me but our lawyer called this morning and she'd had an email from Vermont. I've been frantically trying to call Pete but can't get through. His computer is down too so he doesn't KNOW YET. Wait until he finds out. Somebody do the numbers for me -- I'm too excited to count. Was it about 40 days? that's great news. congratulations!!	45495	Not Telling	Belgium	2008-04-01 13:55:00
