  1. I am American, and I am petitioning for my Italian wife to get a green card. We are at the stage where we are applying with the NVC. My wife lived in Egypt for over six months, so she needs to get a police clearance certificate from Egypt. But she is no longer living in Egypt. To complicate things, she never had any form of ID or residency. She stayed on a tourist visa for 6 month stints, leaving shortly and then returning. She never stayed illegally, but she was always there on a tourist visa. 1. Does anyone know if she can get a police certificate? 2. If so, do you recommend traveling to Egypt to do this? Our Egyptian friends say this is an easy document to get for a citizen but the are not sure about foreigners obtaining one.
  2. Me and my partner are looking for the best way to proceed. I'm from Italy, he's USC. Since the waiting time is almost the same, we're leaning to get married and proceed with a CR-1 visa, more than picking the K1 path. Our concern about this is the traveling while the I-130 is pending. What are the chances of a tourist visa getting denied because of this? Would this be a problem only with a pending I-130 or also with a pending I-129F? I know for this purpose there's the K3 visa, but the waiting time is the same so there's no point. We are willing to wait for the whole procedure to go through, but not being able to see each other in the meantime would be crazy. Thank you for the help!
  3. Hello, I’m Italian and I got DQ ( spousal visa CR1) two weeks ago. Since then I don’t have any news and I was wondering if somebody from Italy has been in the same situation lately. How long did you wait before having a interview scheduled?
  4. Hey! My husband finally got DQ last week. He's Italian (Naples US Consulate), I'm an LPR. Do you guys know how long it takes for NVC to give him an interview date? And also, how far out are they giving appointments nowadays? Thanks!
  5. My husband completed his compulsory military service when he was of age. The problem is, the office for him to request the record is being COMPLETELY insane, and has offered to only give him a certified digital copy, and they say "it's enough for whatever you need it for..." He was previously married and in the states on a k1 (10 years ago) and has the stupid paper from then, which he got with very little trouble back then. They told him yesterday that the actual printed one would take 1 to 3 months!!! 😱 I just want my husband home. Getting any sort of paper or progress with the Italian government is always an adventure.. lol I wonder if : we upload the old one, and include a letter that the unexpired version is on its way if that creates a problem? Or maybe wait for the digital one, and hope that the actual paper one comes through before interview (it likely will, but if it doesn't, I'll have him bring the old one as well as a printed copy of the email that they sent the digital one with?) We already have literally all other papers ready. I'm trying for having him home by our first wedding anniversary. Any insights? This wife is about to call the office and use my caveman Italian on them to try and accomplish something better than 1 to 3 months. It is a single sheet of paper that just shows his compulsory service....we're not asking for the world, just for a piece of paper.
  6. Hello, I (USA) am now living in Italy with my wife (IT), and are trying to figure out the best way to get her a CR-1 Visa. We hoped to apply DCF (after I complete, or at least obtain a receipt of a Permesso di Soggiorno in progress), but learned that the Naples consulate is still not processing (without extreme circumstances, which I doubt we would qualify for) since 2020. So, if we submit our I-130 online now, would we be able to later switch to the Naples consulate if it opens up? Other than a much longer wait time, how much of a problem is trying to complete the visa process overseas anyway? My parents have no problem with me claiming their home is my permanent residence, or forwarding me mail, if it matters.
  7. Hi everyone, we filed the I129F on December 2020, got the NOA1 in february. we did not receive any USCIS NOA2 to inform us that the document was approved. we received directly the letter from NVC with our case number on August 31 2021 telling that they would forward the case to the embassy in Naples, Italy in several weeks. Its middle of October and I did not receive any email or letter from the embassyin Naples telling me that they received the case. In the meantime I already collected all documents and Ds160 filed. On the CEAC status it shows as NO STATUS. Can anyone help? Do you know if currently they are processing k1 visas in Naples?
  8. I'm the petitioner. I want my husband's last name. I didn't yet file for the name change, and I've seen people ask the question but its usually about the beneficiary.... I was in a hurry to get things filed, and at the time since my passport is only a couple years old, and my work email has my maiden name, it just didn't make sense to do that at the time. Today I found out the company I work for is closing. If I end up in a new office job where my name is part of the email, I dont want to be stuck with my maiden name forever. I'm very employable, so I'm not worried about finding work in this market, but we have already gotten the noa1, and I do not want to delay it unnecessarily. 1. Is it going to be a huge problem to change my name in the middle of noa1 to noa2? 2. I found out that in Italy its not actually common to take the husband's last name, but its something I've always wanted to do, and my husband thinks its cute but weird. So in registering my marriage with the Italian government, would I need to update my last name on my marriage certificate first? Or is that where it not yet being changed on my passport would be a problem? Passports are taking a long time right now, and if I win the lotto and can go see him again, I want to. Lololol (Also, was planning a trip for new year's, and not sure if my new passport would be here by then or not...) Does anyone have advice for either of these two issues/problems?
