Confused about sending forms after application.

[Gene & Susan 1]

After completing and sending the initial package of forms, proofs, documentation for a IR-1, CR-1 Spousal Visa application for my Kenyan Wife. I am confused as to the subsequent forms that are requested..are they sent to me, the U.S. Citizen in the USA, or to my Wife in Kenya? I know for a fiancee visa the foreign fiancee gets a "packet" from the local to her US Consulate/Embassy, and I would have to send my proof of income to her to submit along with her medical at the interview. But what about the IR-1, CR-1 Spousal Visa, does she not get a packet local to her? Do I get everything, and then have to send things to her to fill out? The guide here is just not clear to me.

I (the beneficiary) never received any package with papers to fill in during this whole process, neither did my husband!

We waisted a lot of precious time waiting for instructions/ packages during this journey.

I would say read the IR-1, CR-1 guides and start gathering and assembling everything so you have it all ready when your I-130 petition is approved!

Good luck

Your quest for the CR-1 for your wife is similar to mine. My wife will also be interviewing in Nairobi. After you pay all feees and submit the required doc's to NVC, they shoulfd "complete your case" and assign an interview date. Prior to the interview, she needs to schedule her medical with a panel physician. Shes to probably await notice of the interview date. The neccessary forms for medical can be obtained from the panel physicians office per the SD website. At the interview, provide all supporting evidence.

FYI: The above info from me is relevant, if USCIS has approved your petition an forwarded to NVC. If this is the case, call NVC with your USCIS case number to see if you can obtain your NVC case number. At that time, the NVC should be able to forward you the payment portal information to submit fees. Hope I haven't confused you more...
