Hi everyone!! Excited to see the updates!! Im home with my husband! I didnt go through the whole thread, any cc's or interviews? Our interview went ok, but the wait for the visa in juarez was bad...we waited 8 days after the interview at the hotel but we are home now hope to hear from you guys soon!

I want to know if it's mandatory to go with my husband to the interview??? He is in the Dominican Republic

Im not sure about your embassy, in mexico they did not even let me through the door lol only the beneficiery

I am sure we are gonna get it soon! Im waiting too today is day 51 so im hoping to get a cc by next friday and an interview for january! Praying for all of you

Juarez consulate has appointments within the next 2 weeks! Good luck!

Was this at the embassy? Is the applicant required to submit birth certificate? I find it strange, especially if he's already US citizen. Did you submit a birth certificate?

I'm worried because I don't have an original birth certificate :\

In this case they requested proof of us citizenship so he submitted his wifes birth certificate and the big deal was that it didnt have her parents name on it, it was at the embassy during the interview, however in my case my husband took my birth certificate and my passport to be safe and they told him they didnt need it..you never know what they will come up with so just try to have a back up, another lady took 8 pictures for evidence and they said it wasnt enough and they also questioned why she didnt have a wedding ring on, in my case my husband took our wedding album but was nor asked for any kind of evidence. I dont mean to scare you guys i just really want u guys to be prepared and not take any chances, they also questioned my husband if he ever tried crossing to the U.S. ilegally and he admitted to it, when he said yes they told him the date and time of what they had in their records! ? thank god he said the truth, he got asked about 8 questions..others maybe 3..

We just got CC!!!!! AOS Sept. 23 IV Oct 23 now we wait for an interview date. We are March filers.

Congrats!! If your embassy is quick u might have an appt by next month! ?

Hey guys just an update: someone got denied because the us citizen birth certificate did not have her parents name (it was a requested copy, a newer version) just an fyi

Hello.

I have a problem, In what moment Ill get the Invoice number? I want pay the fee for schedule my appointment but the system ask me the invoice number for go forward.

Thanks in advance!

Hello i got the invoice id# from the nvc the day they gave me my case #, but of course they dont tell you unless you ask about it, hope that helps

Thats awesome. Congrats. My AOS was received Sep 26th and IV Oct 9th so pretty similar to yours. Hopefully I get CC soon.

Good luck!

Awesome!! First cc for march team??? keep them coming! Hope??

I didnt wait for my visa in Juarez, Actually I took a plane back to Monterrey after the interview and waited to it to arrive to my local DHL office. It arrived 2 weeks later. I am sure it is way faster in Juarez, but I have no idea how long. I hope you have it soon!

I hope so too! Thank u again and enjoy your life as a newlywed best wishes

Congratulations! So happy for you!!! I have been kind of disconnected from VJ, but now that I am married and settled in my home I will have tons of time to by online

God bless you in your journey.

Thank you and likewise! Hope you dont mind one more question, did you wait for your visa in juarez? We are hoping it doesnt take too long, we had to switch hotels today because where we were at was full..now we are worried about booking day by day because its expensive ?

Congrats! Lucky u, ypu guys are going to spend the holidays togetherr!!! M

And how does it work when u get there? They give u an appoiment for the local uscis office?

If you mean when we get to the US? Well the k3 is valid for 2 years, we can either request for nvc to finish the 130 process or request an employment authorization card since he will come in under a visa not a permanent resident, hope you get some good news soon! Stay positive ?

Awesome!!! I wish you guys the best and happiest holidays! its been great going through this journey with you! Hugs sweetie!

Thank you!! Wish u the best! Ill still be posted waiting for you to get good news soon!! Stay positive!

Hi, my fiancé received the letter in the States about 2 weeks later, he scanned it and sent it to me, that's what I used for my visit to Juarez , my letter arrived to my address in Mexico after I had the interview and all!!!

They actually send out the letters from El Paso, TX, that's why it takes longer to arrive to the beneficiary's address.

Hi sweetopossum!! Approved!! ? thank you so much for your help! Congrats on your wedding as well!! Now we just wait for dhl..hope its not too long, we want to make sure they dont take their word back! Lol thx again

Approved!! K3 approved march team! Best feeling ever, i cant believe it! We will be going home together! Hang in there everyone! The hardest yet best is coming!!

Hi Tavotevi,

Good luck on the interview. You will see very soon it is not a dream, but a reality and you will be soon together with your husband. I wish you the best and I know everything will be alright. I am very happy you were able to get the K3 visa going for your husband, you will be together soon. Best wishes and God bless you both :-)

J

Thank you so much for your great vibes and wishes!! Ill post soon with hopefully great news!! ??

Hi march team!! On my way to meet my husband! Our k3 interview is next week, im scared, i feel this is not real..? i hope this is not a dream lol ill keep you guys posted! Wish me luck ? god bless everyone and the nvc reps who has your files, hope they are in good hands ?

Hi everyone! My husband is in juarz today for fingerprints! And i leave tomorrow! ? just to be safe..today for fingerprints he just needs the interview letter, his passport, the ds160 receipt. Dies he need anything else..passport pics etc??

My k3 petition made it all the way to the embassy in Kingston Jamaica. And my husband's interview was on the 7th of February 2014. When we reached the embassy they said an interview could not take place because our ir1/cr1 reached NVC already. They told him to leave all his documents with them and they will notify him when they sort it out. We thought it would be another couple months wait but little did we know that that same day they requested NVC expedite the ir1/cr1 case from NVC to the US Embassy in Jamaica! I found out by calling NVC. Then i tracked it through DHL. Nd it reached jamaica Tuesday February 11th!!! I emailed the embassy to ask if we can get another interview since they already have most of the documents nd they called his phone the same day and scheduled us for our ir1 /cr1 interview next week February 20th!!! Plus they said i only have to pay $230 for the visa and not the $88 affidavit of support procesing fee since its not being processed domestically (in the US)! I am soooo happy! I thought my k visa slowed down our ir1/cr1 but it actually boosted it! Also im happy we r getting this visa as he will be an LPR immediately and can work as soon as he gets to the states. I will make sure to give a review of how our interview went!

Hello, looking for k3 visa interviews i came across your post. Nvc assigned my k3 case and i went forward with scheduling an interview and fingerprints etc... 1 month later nvc assigns case number to my 130, and now i read this and it terrifies me. What if the embassy does nit want to approve the k3 because the 130 is at nvc already

Oh good. Your profile and timeline confused me and I was afraid you were following the wrong instructions. Very rare to see a K-3 approval and go through nowadays. Good to know you are indeed going for a K visa after all. Good luck!

Sorry! I cant update my timeline from a mobile device lol i was very lucky!! Thank u.. Waiting for the letter to arrive and the big day

My fiancee and I completed the process last month; this has been a wonderful forum for information, so we wanted to provide some specifics in case it can benefit others:

First, we waited 6 weeks for the packet to arrive in the mail. We finally hired an attorney, he contacted the consulate in CDJ, and they e-mailed him the info same day...we waited 6 weeks for nothing! Second, below is my fiancee's experience the day of her interview, which only took a couple of minutes:

"I arrived as they said no more than half an hour before my apt. I got there by 6.45 (my apt was at 7.15) first, they make you go to another place not far away (5 mins walking) where they perform the first check of the documents, and stamp one of the forms; it is in a plaza nearby, and there is a waiting room, I guess for the people that accompany the applicant. By the time I went in it was 7:05 and in the room there were already about 150 people. In many cases there were two people going together, couples, families..

When they say, NO food into the consulate, they mean gum too. In my case I had a packet of gum with 5 pieces left, the same that they made me chew, I wasnt able to just throw them away. I was glad the packet wasnt full.

Get a decent meal beforehand. I know it is early in the morning, but I waited 2hrs before I was called to review and gathered some papers and then, another 1hr15mins to be called for the interview. By that time I wasn´t feeling that good.

And yes, be prepare for a boring wait, you cannot even focus on read a book, since your number (NOT in order) could come up any moment on the screen, so you all get to do is to stare at the screens hoping you would be next."

Hello, its been 3 weeks and my appointment letter doesnt arrive, where do i call, i tried the consulate in el paso that sends the k3 ans they tell me they cant email it

We just got notice of our I-130 NOA2 yesterday as well!! Good luck to you with the next steps!

Awesome!!! Welcome to the nvc!

Congrats!!! Im so happy for you!!!

Keep us posted!

Its bittersweet! Im so happy my husband is hopefully here for thanksgiving, yet i know we hv alot of paperwork ahead of us

Praise God!

When did NVC initially received your case? and when did you send in your docs? Just to compared with my dates and see if I can get an estimate of when my interview will be scheduled.

Thanks and good luck!

Nvc forwarded my case oct 8 to mexico embassy, mex embassy received it and got it ready for interview process, meaning i can schedule my appointment anytime available after that

You keep posting your questions in threads about the K-1 visa process so I thought you were doing the K-1 visa process, yet tonight I noticed that your profile and timeline show you filed for an I-130 for a spousal visa. The CR-1 spousal visa process is not the same as the K-1 fiance(e) visa process. You are following the wrong instructions.

These instructions do not pertain to you. You submit documents to the NVC and the NVC will supply your interview date. NVC process > http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NVC_Process

IR-1/CR-1 Visa Process forum is here, and where you need to ask questions about the spousal visa process > http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/110-ir-1-cr-1-spouse-visa-process-procedures/

K1 and k3 are the same process..i initially started with 130 but my k3 got approved so i went for it

Wait wait wait... I have been answering you as if you were applying for a K-1. These are the instructions for a K-1 applicant, not someone trying to get a CR-1 spousal visa. I never noticed your profile said that before. These instructions do not pertain to you. You submit documents to the NVC and the NVC will supply your interview date.
