Hi,

So I applied for my parents visa when i got my fiance visa (the CO at my interview even told me to make sure my parents have my fiance visa copy for their interview). It's in 3 days and im nervous again. Any suggestions? They're self sponsored so I don't think they're going to need any invitation letters (the website just says, bring documents that show-the purpose of the visit, ability to pay for the visit, and the intention to return after the visit..doesnt make any other specifications)

So for purpose they're going to show the K1 visa and that they're coming for the wedding in the US. I'll get a scanned letter of invite from my fiance (since they'll stay with us in his house) -but there's no time to get the original.

for pay-ing they're showing the bank account information. I did get a networth statement made from a CA but i don't know how much it really means to them.

for intent to return, thats the issue..half my mothers family is in the US, my other sibling is currently not in india though he intends to come back in a year or two. and my dad just quit his job last year and has a start up ..which is..just starting up really so has no real income.

Any suggestions/experiences would really help. Reading other people's rejection stories is really disheartening.

I doubt other country's visas are so nerve-wracking

My interview is in three days......Feeling very nervous....I hoping for the approval of my visa.......and hoping everthing should be smooth in the interview.....

I missing my husband.........I want to join him soon..............Everyone here in vj are appreciated for the support given to me....

Just be confident and polite and go over some sample questions on vj also. It helped me keep things to the point and not go on and on

I had my interview 2 weeks ago and I was one of the last people and i din't see any family based visas get denied

My parents also now have their tourist visa interview in 3 days and im incredibly nervous for them too. Good luck to you and hopefully this nerve-wracking experience will soon come to a positive end.

OMG guys! Our petition was approved!!! I can't even tell you how happy I am! I'm shaking, my heart's racing!

I so hope that all of your petitions will be approved soon, too!!! I thought this day would never come. Now let's hope this means CSC is finally doing they're job again.

Congratulations! Hope you breeze through the rest of the process.

Hi Guys,

Got my visa in hand today. I feel terrible writing this here because I know some of you are still waiting for your NOA2s. I really hope and pray that you get them soon. This is really ridiculous.

Keep us posted on your progress (which i hope comes real soon)

After 8 months, my file is on same status. Initial review. Can anyone help me to solve this problem? My husband is us citizen. I'm in India.

Have you tried calling USCIS. According to the processing times at VSC,the processing time for I-130 for spouse of Citizen is currently June 4th 2012. So it'll probably take you a little longer. They're being very slow

Great!!!!, I am happy for you guys too. Take care

I wrote that in a hurry and did not do a very coherent job lol. It is in AP, but the CO had said at the interview that it'll take like 10 days to get the visa so I'm choosing not to freak out till then

How are you celebrating? or are the celebrations on hold till you actually have it in hand ?

Thank you, you should have your soon. It takes one week. just hold on.. Did you call the numbers i gave you? also, you can track your passport on the website. let me know if need assistance. Thanks again.

Yea I did call them. Ustraveldocs person drove me crazy, she said its issued and to start checking in two days (She like me was checking the Immigrant status on ceac.state.gove). Then my fiance called DOS today and they said it is in Administrative Processing but they were very vague about what would happen now or anything. Fingers Crossed for it being issued soon with no issues. They did say 10 days.

Congratulations!!!

Congratulations!

I was told at the interview that I've been approved and will receive my visa in 10 days. Well..it hasn't been 10 days, only been 4 so far, but I just checked my status on ceac.state.gov and my status has just changed to Administrative Processing.

There was no issue whatsoever at my interview. I'm wondering what this is about or is this normal?

Yes. The status changed to 'ready for pickup' in the evening Picking my passport tomorrow. All look goods. We celebrate once it is in hand.

Congrats!

I emailed ustraveldocs today and apparently i was checking the wrong section. If I put in my NVC case number in Immigrant Visa section it says "Issued". But if I enter the case number UStraveldocs gave me today in the NonImmigrant visa section it says "Ready (for interview)". They also told me I'm in AP, for what I don't know.

I don't know what to make of this madness.

2-3 months is not a short time-frame. But how big wedding are you guys planning? how many guest are you expecting? Are you guys expecting alot of guest from India?

Priest cost a few thousand dollars???? Seems like you guys are looking for wrong priest. Temple/Church wedding must be inexpensive. Priest should be free as he shouldnt be concerned for money. Church/Temple runs by donation, and whoever takes priest position, thats mean he should be renounced, maya-free.

I don't think it can be anything shorter than 2-3 months, it'll require some amount of planning atleast I believe. We're mostly just expecting guests from US itself if the wedding is in the US around 150 people.

Yea, the priest thing was a little ridiculous. My fiance doesn't really know much about wedding-y stuff. Maybe its a norm to give that much donation to temples for a marriage?

Your problem seems to be you are trying to please everyone. It is not possible to please everyone in your current situation. Do what's best for you and according to the terms of your K-1 visa. Many if not most couples have a legal civil ceremony first then have their religious wedding/reception later.

Is there a reason why you didn't do the CR-1? If your plan was to have a religious wedding in India the whole time it seems that this route would have made more sense. I can understand if your plans changed later.

My husband and I had a very brief Hindu ceremony in May 2012 then we had the huge wedding reception this past January 2013. His family was not happy at first with our plans but they learned to deal with it and are happy now.

Well it was never really a big issue at the time that we got engaged, doing the whole court wedding first then the religious wedding around the holidays etc. But the family just thinks there will be no enthusiasm if we have the indian wedding 6-7 months later, so they now want the wedding in the US around 2 months after I go. Which is fine but its unexpected for me and I don't know how I'll plan it that quick or if its even possible. I spent a lot of weekends in India looking at places here itself thinking the wedding will be here. And I came up with a good streamlined plan for accommodations, venues, caterers, etc. which suited both our families (my fiance and I have different wedding rituals) and was under-budget yet promised to be pleasant and fun. Now to do that again in the US where I dont know how to drive, don't know the places as well, is whats driving me nuts. So I'm just wondering if someone has experience with this. Things like, the priest, what kind of venues should I be looking for, not all of them seem indian-wedding friendly. Anyways it was a long shot posting here.

Status on ustraveldocs changed to 'origination scan' today. Hoping this is a good thing.
