How up to date do documents need to be?
pushbrk replied to Gaiden79's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
That's current enough, but for pay stubs, you can scan and email. She can print locally. No need for employer letter if she has a current pay stub. -
221g administrative Cr1 visa
pushbrk replied to mart simon's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
Now that this is in the right forum, it will help. I would also ask why the petitioner is not here as part of the discussion. Case could be just being kicked upstairs for further review. A 28 year age difference is large but even a much bigger deal if she's the older one. What exactly does the notice say? You've given what you think is important or the part you understood. Members with more experience can better interpret the actual wording. Please provide it, and clarify which of you is older. -
There is not a "number". What is needed depends on your circumstances and what you actually have. For those who have not lived together yet, concentrate on direct evidence of being together in person. Boarding passes (not itineraries) and passport stamps. Hotel receipts are good too. Photos together are good but secondary. If you multiple select photos from a folder, select nine then print to wallet size on plain paper nine per page. Make it a variety. Three pages of photos like that seems ideal. You cannot provide something that doesn't exist. Don't try to contrive anything. It is what it is.

Download the form. Then open with adobe reader, fill it out, print, then scan. -
when to file petition (split topic)
pushbrk replied to Dollyleoh's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
Just focus on evidence of time spent together in person, like passport stamps and boarding passes, etc. Photos are good secondary evidence. Leave out letters/affidavits from friends. Makes you look desperate. -
I-130A form questions (split topic)
pushbrk replied to Nena Lis's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
Note that your wife can upload a photocopy of her complete passport as evidence she is a US Citizen. But, if she has a copy of a certified copy of her birth certificate, that is much easier. -
Medical guidance needed
pushbrk replied to Lordofnomad's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
You will need a new medical before the visa is issued, but wait until the visa is approved. If approved, it will be approved pending a new medical. If it has already been six months there is a reason for the delay. If you get a new one now, it might expire too. -

AOS Invalid Document Status
pushbrk replied to Wael Tayseer's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
Details are important here. Strange they would say that wage and income transcripts, are wanted. Normally it is the Tax Return Transcripts. Why is the beneficiary here discussing this instead of the Petitioner whose documents are in question. Be specific. How many fees were paid? There are two fees to pay. Please be as specific as possible. -
There are three kinds of copies of "divorce papers". A copy your lawyer gave you, a certified copy from the court or state records, and a photocopy of a certified copy. Any of the three can confuse certain individuals. I was adding to what you said, not correcting you. For my latest divorce, the court requested me to provide four originals. On the spot, the judge signed all four. The court kept one and the clerks certified the other three to give to me. It can be done any way the local court decides to do it. If a person doesn't know the difference, there's room for error.

Assuming this is a spouse visa case, your spouse should be counted only as the intending immigrant. Properly filled with an Adobe product, on a preceding page, you will have indicated you are sponsoring 1 immigrant. Since that is your spouse, the form will automatically populate a one on the later page for the number of immigrants. You do not also enter a one for spouse, as that will count her twice. Did you count her twice, or not at all? Probably one or the other.

For most documents, divorce decrees included, what is required is a "certified copy". The original is never available. Petitions are filed with photocopies of certified copies, but at interview the actual certified copy can be requested. If "requested" it's "required". Using the correct terminology is important, even if sometimes officials fail to use it.

Visiting and residing are not the same thing, but it sounds like she meets the "residing" definition. Not that it matters, but in the Philippines (back when Direct Consular Filing didn't require special circumstances) a person could "reside in" the Philippines on a tourist visa, because you can keep extending for up to three years at a time, with only a day of absence before starting the new three years. Lots of folks did it. A "temporary permanent resident" is a contradiction in terms but since it's a real thing, it's a real thing.
