Wife coming to visit me tomorrow!!!

On a subsequent note, I have noticed that some forums allege that even if your spouse is granted entry during the I-130 process, such trip would generate additional FBI name check (if it has already been done), which could delay the processing time at the consulate. Anybody has any thought or experience from that?

Don't be pessimistic buddy ! Let him enjoy with his wife who is already pregnant !

I was under the same impression after reading many posts concerning this subject .... however, I've actually checked out the next set of paperwork for the NVC section and that's when your flights are taken into consideration ..... you have to list every flight you've every made to the US on one the forms ..... I'm actually having a nightmare with it as I've been travelling there for 30 years!!!

Plus, there is no where on any of the forms for you to list 'refused entry at POE' ..... it only tells you to list flight dates for where you have actually entered the U.S. .... and which visa you came in on.

But, at least it shows that up until the NVC stage, you're quite safe as far as FBI checks and flights are concerned ..... too much scaremongering going on, and not enough factual evidence.

My goodness how this process has us all wetting our pants for the slightest thing at times

Can anyone direct me to where I can get this information of what you will have to list on subsequent paperwork? Listing all flights to US? Geez... that might be tough getting that info together... maybe all our old credit card statements... or stamps on his passport?

It's on the DS-230 part1 form ..... question 25. "List dates of all previous visits or residence in the United States (if never, write never) Give type of visa status, if known ....."

They give you 3 spaces for your visits ..... it's a nightmare if you've been travelling there for many years.

Yes, They asked her how long she is staying and who she is visiting.

She was 100% honest about everything.

They said "why do you live in Japan and your husband here"

She said "because we are waiting on the Visa"

She said the lady just handed her passport back to her and said "enjoy your visit"

I hope my experience can help other people visit their loved ones.

I havent really been able to sleep because Im so happy(among other things hehe)!!
