Preparing for the NVC to transfer case

[DaBraimahs 12]

Hello,

last year we were denied k1 visa and this year we have applied for the ir1 cr1 visa and we have been approved at the uscis. With the k1 visa the embassy issued a letter to us that indicate their requirements.

 

Do I have to wait for them to receive our package from the nvc  before I can start gathering the requirements that I know about? or I have to wait until the package gets there before I start anything?

 

And also concerning the medical reports,  am i going to go all over the vaccinations again?

It's a good idea to start collecting and organizing documents which you know you will need.  Civil documents, domicile proof, relationship proof, police certificates, etc.

If you have already had your immunizations, you should have a document stating that.

As stated above it’s good to start collecting documents need for the NVC phase such as tax documents, police report , copy of passport, copy of birth certificate, and any additional evidence you want to submit.

 

Don’t get your medical exam until you have completed the NVC phase and have been given your interview date. In Ghana medical exams are only good for 6 months. Since the NVC is taking about 11 weeks after receiving documention to approve case and a couple months to assign interview dates, it will be close to expiring. 

 

As for vaccines, you shouldn’t have to get any repeats. If you have a immunization that requires a series of shots that haven’t been completed, you make have to get those shots. Make sure to take your immunization card with you so they know what you’ve received. This will also Help lower the price of the exam.

Thanks so much, this is helpful. 

For the k1 visa, It took me almost 4 months before my interview date was due, I mean from the day I took my package that tells me what i needed to provide for my intervew. How long are we looking at for the Cr1?

We received our interview date really quickly, but that was back in November. I have two friends who have or are waiting for interviews in Ghana. It took them about 2-3 months to get their date and it was scheduled a month later. So unfortunately it may take a little time. 

 

The best advice vice I can give you is once you’ve submitted your paperwork for the NVC start preparing for the interview. By this I mean, getting your interview evidence ready and going over interview questions with your spouse.
