C and S

1 - you should be find with 3:45hrs

2 - people do changes flights from time to time, so plan does changed. they will not question you on that

3 - CR1/IR1 visa has stipulation of temporary green card. so you are okay to travel after 2 weeks of stay

TAKE NOTE tho : I came here on March this year, stayed 1 month in US then went to Philippines for 1 month then came back. Then I was sent to secondary at the POE. officer asked me where's my green card, told him I ddnt have it with me, we just it in mail 2 days ago. he asked me if I have any special document to travel, told him I dont have. told him as well that I called USCIS to re confirm that I can travel and come back without my green card. He then told me I should have waited for my green card. Then, I was sent to secondary, after maybe 30 minutes of sitting there and wondering what's gonna happened. I was called and was told I am good to go and welcome back to the US. they never asked me anything.

Our visa is good as temporary green card. but in my experience, it is still safer to wait for the green card to be in hand. Guess it was just my luck.

4 - yes you are okay with that. just don't fly 2 or 1 day before the expiry date.

Maybe you can email the embassy and try your luck. A friend of mine tried an earlier date and they were granted. they both live overseas. Their reason was work related.

It is still depending on the embassy but there's no harm in trying.

Any idea why you were approved so fast? Did you apply for an expedite? Or something else?

We didn't apply for expedite or anything. We didn't even thought we will be approved that fast. But we are very grateful we were.

I hope many will be approved fast too.

Congratulations...

Good luck on your Journey... we were at Nebraska too. we got approved fast. I hope and pray yours will be fast too.

God bless

I have seen alot of filers from the Philippines who got their approval for 2 weeks to 2 months... well i guess its case to case basis :(

Its case to case basis, we are among the lucky ones who got approved in less than a month. but there are many as well who got approved for more than 6 months.

Just keep praying and have faith, your NOA2 will come soon.

Hi there, I am a newbie and I have read many threads here. I think I have most of the forms completed. But I just want to clarify one of the requirements for the CR-1. When submitting the Evidence of a Bonifide Marriage. We do not own any joint properties nor bank accounts. So the only other proof is through the Affidavits sworn document. The example form on this website is for removal conditions. I am not sure how to write one and what to put on there. We got married late last year and I was the only one to travel to the Philippines. It said the affidavits must be a US citizen. Can anyone help me with this form?

since you are not together yet, its usual that you don't have joint properties and accounts. USCIS and embassies does understand that.

for our evidence, other than the copy of Marriage certificate from NSO, we only submitted chatlogs, Skype video screenshots, passport with stamps during visits, boarding passes, pictures together , copy of western union send outs. I was able to add my husband i my account while we were in PI so we have added that too.

we didn't send affidavits sworn documents and we were approved very fast.

Thanks for all your help. My plan us not to get spinsorship anymore. I will have enough funds at that time. I apply for a loan or something. And never to mention about my boyfriend. I'll go there as pure tourist. Is that good enough? Should I book flight and make hotel reservations before the interview? I think this is a better way to go. No, there won't be any kind of conference meeting of my company in US there.

Do not book any flight or hotels prior to visa issuance. The US embassy themselves are not advising that.

Goodluck with your application.

goodluck and Godbless...

Congratulations to you both...

60 days review time from NVC is normal.

If you need to go back ASAP to US, you may request for an expedite process.

Congratulations on the visa approval and Congratulation on the upcoming wedding.

Congratulations to you both.

When do you plan to leave UAE?

Keep calling NVC. and yes you will be put on hold for very long time and you have to hit redial before you could get thru.

We got our case number 38 days from NOA2.

That is for the Petition to be approved alone , not the whole process. 5 months is just estimates. Others can take longer and others can take lesser. Its case to case basis.

After the USCIS, there's NVC which will take 60 days review time after you submitted all the documents ( both AOS and IV).

Yes you can .

In our case we only wrote Case Number on the upper right corner of each document.

You can put it in a ziplock bag.

Make sure to put case # at the back of each picture.

Thanks Dod

beharrr thanks. the first consul asked me for New Police Certificate , told her I don't have. I thought ill have a problem then.

But in the final interviewer ddnt ask any documents other than pictures. and he approved me.

Thanks Vj family.

I just got approved on my interview at Abu Dhabi Embassy.

CR1

We couldn't have made it this far and this quick if not with all the guides and assistance of everyone.

Goodluck and keep the faith for all those who are still waiting.

Thanks. I will post my interview experience once done.

beharrr good luck to both our interviews. Im getting anxious as it gets nearer.

I am the beneficiary, my husband is the USC. In our form, line 17 section C it is my name that is listed there and not my husband.

If I understand it correctly, OP said she is the beneficiary and the husband filed the petition means ( husband is the USC/ LPR), husband listed her ( beneficiary ) which I believe is correct.

That’s just how our paper is and we didn’t got any problem with it, in fact our I-130 was approved.

beharrr , I am not really sure about the portal. I log in once but I ddnt received any email from them.

also one lady who has done the process in Abu Dhabi Embassy a month ago told me that the courier service is not true for CR1. Cr1 visa should be personally picked up at the embassy on the date specified after the interview.

Only K1 and non immigrant visa will be pick up through EMPOST. that's what I did for my tourist visa 2 years ago.

if you don't have a baby, then it should be only your name that will be in C - 17.

you name and listed as wife.
