Hey NOA2 recipients from the Texas Service Centre. 

 

Are there any IR1/CR1 petitioners from September who have been processed who haver US CITIZEN petitioners (not US Pernament Residents).

I really wish this site would add that piece of meta-data because there are big time differences between the two reported on USCIS.

I'm a USC petitioner living abroad

Hello everyone

I'm currently overseas but my parents received my approval in the mail today no update online though.

NOA1 9/15/2015

Approval 3/5/2018 from Texas Service Center.  So excited to move on!!!!! ^^

After reading a few posts about police certificates, is it correct that he only needs the Peru Police Certificate if he stayed in Peru for 6 months or more after he turned 16? Because hes never been back to Peru after he was 9 years old.

Hello. We are applying for the I-130 visa. My partner was born in Peru and stayed there until he was 9. Hes been residing in NZ since. We are confused as to how to obtain a police certificate for him. We looked at this link https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/Peru.html#ExternalPopup. He does not have any family in Peru and there is no Peru consulate here in NZ. He only has a Peru Birth Certificate as identification as well will this be enough? Neither of us speak spanish. What is our best option to get it?

Thank you!

Hello all,

   My spouse and I filed our petition from abroad to the Chicago lockbox on Sept 11. We received the email receipt on Sept 15 and our file was sent to the Texas Service Center. 

Thank you for your replies. I've been living in NZ for close to 8 months now. 

I also just talked to customer service and they said I can apply from abroad with the support of our sponsors (my parents) who we will also be living with. He never indicated that I needed any exceptional circumstance to do this.

I've come up with a list of items that I may use to show domicile in the US.

- Letter from Parents to show an address where we will live/give support & that we are serious about moving

- Student loans being paid

- US Bank Account (consistent deposits + correspondence)

- Current Drivers License (I had to renew a couple of months ago and have correspondence with) 

- Voters Registration

- Applying for jobs

- Selling Items

-No permanent residency

-living here 8 months only on temp visas (not sure if this will help any)

I'm sure we could come up with more but those are the main ones on the top of my head.

He also mentioned that if they do deny it that we could get married and apply for the i-130 because it has no domicile requirements.

My fiance (NZ citizen) and I are going to apply for the K1 visa. We are currently living abroad in NZ and I am on a temporary visa that ends in 6 months. I realize that the K1 process may take around 6-9+ months before its approved. I would rather stay with my fiance for the entire process. If I apply for an extension on my current visa in NZ (assuming the K1 takes longer than 6 months) will this have a negative effect on my fiance's K1 process? 

Thank you
