US Immigration from New Zealand

Hi everybody,

This is a straight forward question, when applying for a police certificate in New Zealand, do you apply with "NZ police vetting" or through the Ministry of Justice for a criminal records check?

I personally cannot find the most updated information anywhere which is maybe evident to others, if someone could provide the link that'd be great.

Thank you all!

Hi all,

Wondering if anyone who submitted their I-130 THIS year (2021) been approved yet?

We submitted early Feb and in April the online status switched from 'received' to 'actively being reviewed' so was feeling optimistic we'd have this part approved by July or August (my original ETA from VisaJourney) - but lately I've been getting estimates closer to January 2022. The waiting and not knowing is the hardest part

Cheers

Hi hi,

This is kind of a silly question but a few months ago I was reviewing a great step by step guide on USICIS for the IR-1 process and now I can't find it anywhere. Anyone know what I'm talking about or where I can find? If you do please drop me the link. Currently waiting for our I-130 but I'd like to get prepped and a better understanding of what is to follow.

Cheers

Hi guys!

We are applying from New Zealand, you might remember us from the forums on here over previous months.

So we got our NOA2 today but we are just wondering what documents we would have to upload for the NVC such as civil documents etc when it gets there, I'm trying to find specific results FOR NEW ZEALAND but can't seem to find transparent answers on the state department website.

Can anyone from New Zealand give us some insight on what documents are needed for upload?

Thank you!

Hi we had our k1 interview on May 25th at the Auckland NZ consulate and they told us we were approved. Our CEAC status changed to "application received" on june 3rd. Nothing since. It has been about 3 weeks they wont answer our emails either. Our lawyer said we should stop reaching out because it might make things worse.

Is there reason to be concerned ? I haven't seen anyone who was approved take longer than 3 weeks.
