Hello fellow VJ'ers,
My contribution to the forum so far was to show the latest and greatest forms that you receive during your CR1/IR1 DCF London process.
Partly because:

I could not see them on the forum (latest embassy forms).
I have a scanner - so why not use it.
I get confused easily if I don't "see" the problem/challenge/expectation.

The last one for this part of the journey arrived this morning....i.e packet 4. Once again, as stated before on this forum it's only a letter, nothing more, nothing less.

I have one more question before we go over to the embassy on Thursday.
I have made copies of all the "documents" i.e marriage/police/birth certificates, but not of the "forms" DS-230 part II/I-846 etc. Surely they just take the "forms" and keep them or do they REALLY need another copy of all the forms.
I would appreciate someone that has actually completed this part to answer that, not someone that speculates about it.

Hi fellow VJ'ers!
Well, after the schlep from exactly 2 weeks ago, I can now happily report that I have a valid CR-1 spousal visa in my passport! Whooooohooooo! The courier dropped it off a few minutes ago. Bit of an anti-climax in comparison to how I thought I would get it, but anyway, I'm not complaining.
I just want to say a BIG thank you to all the people here that helped me through this first part of my journey, it's MUCH appreciated!! Good luck to the rest of you and always - or at least try to - stay positive and optimistic.

Last week at my interview BOTH CO's I dealt with made it very clear that your visa is only valid for as long as your X-Ray is valid, i.e 6 months. Both CO's made sure that I completely understood that the last day I can travel on my spouse visa is the 21st December 2012.

Courier was here bright and early, 08:20. Everything that I can cross is crossed now....
Just to add to the fun, my boss is being a real a****** about my notice. Oh deeeeaaaar. As the saying goes: "Keep calm, and carry on..."

Congrats! I think I saw you guys coming down the corridor with smiles that circumvented your faces! :D Good luck with the rest of the journey!

Good luck Tiekey!
I got a bit confused with this "Approval" today, as for some reason I was under the impression that I'm supposed to get NOA1 and THEN NOA2. Not directly to NOA2.
So I've scanned the docco to help someone else to not get confused. Maybe, it's just me that gets easily confused but anyway...
For those who don't know this is what a NOA2 from London USCIS looks like if you file DCF.
Obviously I have removed all personal details and also the Field Officers signature.

HTH someone!

Who said that? All you need to do, is show INTENT of domicile Tiekey. And that is all.
We got a "rental agreement" between us and my mother-in-law in writing because it's our intention to stay with her a few months till we have jobs etc.

They probably wrote that exit speech and has moved on to ask the same
question on Immigrate2US, where in turn, the responses will be even
less sugar coated

If you don't want truthful answers stop asking questions

Just a small correction on that - I have all my forms ready....but is still waiting for Packet 3 with our case number on it.
You need the case number to book the medical.
I phoned the surgery that does the medicals last week and they told me I can't book the medical without a case number...then I phoned the embassy to check with them and they could find nothing on the system. The guy asked me: "Did you get your approval for the I-130?" (NOA2) I said yes on the 9th. He replied: "Well I think you'll have to wait another week...."

Someone mentioned before that America is the best country in the world to its citizens, well I agree 100% because for me (beneficiary) it's not! Ok maybe I am not coming from the 3rd world country, I have a pretty good job and I am happy where I am. I have never dreamt of living in the USA and I would never think of moving there if I didn't fall in love.Having said that, once I leave everything behind, move and start a new life with my fiance (husband) I am hoping for it to be a change for good. I am sure things will work out but if they didn't obviously I wouldn't like to be sent back home cause the truth is, once I leave I have nothing really to come back to. This is a huge change in our lives and we are not moving overseas for a trial! We move because we are pretty convinced that this is what we want and the person we move to is someone we want to spend our lives with.
We can only assume that people here always write the truth about what has really happened. In my opinion it's not only beneficiaries that cheat, lie and do stuff behind USC's back. On the internet you can write whatever you want and put yourself in a good light while looking for an advice how to get rid of someone. I am quite sure that everyone would believe the USC because we are just "foreigners who want to get a visa and live the American dream"...Well think twice! I am sure for many of us moving over there will be the hardest thing we've ever done. I am sure it's ll worth it but if something doesn't work out, I want to be able to go on with my life where I will be, without having to go through the hell of moving back and starting my life from scratch...
