    COLOMBIANOS con CR1

    in Mexico, Latin & South America

    Posted

    La verdad es que no sé por qué la embajada le estaba haciendo el Proceso Administrativo a su hermano si sólo aplicó para la visa de turista y le habían negado la cita el día de le entrevista. Pero pues para salir de dudas tendría que llamar a ver qué le dicen.

    Diana

    Solo queria hacerles saber que mi hermano si fue a la embajada y si le dieron la visa. Aparentemente eso es lo que han estado haciendo ultimamente para las visas de turista. Las niegan, y mas o menos al mes despues les escriben para decirles que fueron aprobados.

    Gracias por tu ayuda Diana :thumbs:

    Mononoke I need your help! This has nothing to do with IVs but that board seems to be so slow.

    My brother had a tourist visa interview on November 29th. At that point he had thought that he had been denied. On friday he got an e-mail from BogotaNIVAdminProcess@state.gov telling him that his administrative processing had finished. He needed to bring his passport on the 24th of January to the embassy.

    Does this sound possible? Does this e-mail sound right to you? Did he get approved afterall? They're not asking for anything other than him bringing his passport on that date and this email. It also provides a phone number to call in case he needed to reschedule or he could reply back that email address.

    My brother plans on calling tomorrow and sending an e-mail as well to make sure that this isn't some sort of scheme, but it really doesn't sound like it to me. I just think we need reassurance that this is real and he really got his visa. Or not?

    Help.

    My journey is just beginning!

    Hello my name is Shawnda and I am new and I am trying to get as much information as possible in a row before I even marry my fiance lol!...We have been together for 7 months and I am planning to go to Nigeria to marry him in May 2012. So my first step is trying to decided on a K3 or CR1 route to take...and I have decided based on this site to go the CR1 route. I tell you this journey is not for the light hearted at all but I love my fiance so much he is my very best friend... I know it will all be worth it in the end....so my question is this...

    After we get married in May 2012 and I come back to the US and start the CR1 process can I go back to Nigeria to visit him while it is processing? I won't even ask if he can come here I'm sure he could but...it's hard to get a visa in Nigeria....we know he tried to get a B1 visa and was denied just 11/28/11 and he had all that he needed... :( but that is okay we are still on to plan B as we trust God to see us through! :)

    Well that's it for now....I know I will have MANY more questions! I am so thankful for this sight! I have no one to ask for help!

    Shawnda!

    I love NIGERIA!

    You can travel there as much as you'd like. There are no restrictions. In fact, it would probably be better for you to go visit him. It will make the time not seem as long and you can also use that as evidence =)

    Congratulations on your upcoming nuptials and the visa journey ahead of you. Remember to have patience, lots and lots of patience.

    Hi guys,

    Does previous divorce or previous visa granted to US affect issuing visa??

    Previous divorce, no. And a previous visa no, as long as there were no misrepresentation of facts. If a person was divorced from a beneficiary of a visa the embassy might look at it a bit closer but if there is strong enough evidence that this is a bonafide relationship, they will generally grant the pending visa (as long as all other requirements are met).

    Hi all,

    there is a friend of mine who had his interview at the american embassy in Cairo on Nov 22 2011 and he got married on June 28 2009 in Egypt and his wife left on July 14 2009 and did not visit him since she left but they kept contacting each other by e mails,letters and phone and his wife was married before and at the time of the interview the consular officer told him that she is not convinced that their marriage will be permenant

    and asked him to send proof of relationship and he sent her these things ( pictures , letters , e mails ) by DHL and my questions are are these things enough to prove the relationship?? does the consular officer have right to deny the visa ( IR 1 ) despite the fact that it was approved by NVC?? and all the documents needed were submitted and his wife submitted the affidavit of support and changed her name and got his family name??if the visa is denied what things must be done??

    plz guys answer my questions as my friend is in a very bad mood as he was hit by the last retrogression and I do not have any idea about that matter.

    so many thanks

    Well, the embassy can do whatever they feel like. If they do not believe a relationship is genuine they can deny the application. At this point, it would go back to the Service Center and then they can either reaffirm the application or send a letter for intent to cancel application (I'm sure there is better terminology). Your friend then has a limited time to send a request to the Service Center (I believe you still have to pay the fees over again). If your friend doesn't do anything, the application will be void and they'll need to start all over. Please someone correct me if I am wrong as I have never had to go through this myself.

    Your friend needs to take every single piece of evidence they have of their relationship. Beneficiary listed as beneficiary of life insurance, pictures, every e-mail, every chat record, pictures galore, bank statements showing both of their names on there, gifts from each other, letters, basically anything that can change the CO's mind. Every shred of evidence counts in this instance.

    Is there any reason why your friend never visited his wife since they got married? I can see how that is a big red flag. How long did they know each other before they got married?

    I hope this helps. I'm sure others will chime in as well.

    How to work for the Consulate or Embassy?

    I looked into it the other day http://careers.state.gov/officer/career-tracks. It seems to be a lengthy process but oh, man I would do anything to work as a consulate officer anywhere! It'd be amazing. Completely immerse yourself in another culture, get good pay and be able to transfer once a year would be my ultimate job. I would never pass the test though (they have sample tests at this site)...I know absolutely nothing of politics =( Check it out though, let me know if you apply!

    The interview is over and my husband was approved but they needed a new joint sponsor because they decided my current joint sponsor didn't meet the requirements. They sent him home and told him he just needs to send in the new info and his passport by courier. I'm a little dissapointed because we were so confident and prepared and he was hoping to be home next weekend. But, the new joint sponsor papers are sent off (overnight) and the courier is picking them up from his house tomorrow. I just have to sit here and pray that this extra unexpected step goes by very very quickly. I want my husband!! :crying:

    I hope your papers get there quickly! If you were approved "conditionally" then you should be happy! All you have to do is get the paperwork to them and your husband will have his visa. It seems like forever, but this will all be over before you know it!

    Hi guys,

    you all might have gone through this.

    we are planning to send i 864 packet on monday.

    1. Do we need to write NVC case number on the top of I 864 form and all tax transcrit copies.

    2. Also along with I 864 form, we are submitting (a)Tax transcript for 2010(latest), (b)employment letter, ©Bank statement. Hope this three are enough. pls give ur thoughts.

    3. We are sending only copies of above mentioned documents. is that enough?

    1. You don't have to write your NVC case number on anything unless of course you want to. NVC couldn't care less. But I did it because it assured me that if a person working at NVC that was carrying my case suddenly collided with another person carrying someone else's case and all the papers went everywhere, they would know which papers are mine because they all had my case number on the top right hand corner. And of course there are other reasons but NVC could care diddly squat.

    2. What about sending out your past 6 months worth of paystubs? Will you be sending 2008 and 2009 transcripts? They aren't necessary but sometimes help out.

    3. Are you asking whether COPIES are enough or if the actual documents are enough? Send I-864 original (of course because of the signature(s)) and the rest could be copies. It looks good to me :thumbs:
