Hi all,

I got the request for the DS-230 from NVC. My wife is British but we got married in India, so it is at the Mumbai embassy. I understand that the DS-230 needs to be filled out by her and in the packet was included a request for the police certificate. Is that all the documentation needed?

Also does both DS-230 Part 1 and 2 need to be filled out at this time?

Thanks all for the kick ### advice you guys routinely dispense.

Hi all,

This forum has been very helpful in teh past so I am tapping all teh collective expertise once again. I have filed both an I130F and an I129F. FOr the I130F I am about to file the I846 and still waiting to receive the DS-230 package.

I received a Notice of Action stating that the I-129F has been approved and been forwarded to the embassy in Mumbai. I just wanted to know if there was anything I needed to do on my part or will my spouse be contacted directly? Also she lives in London and is a British citizen but we filed in Mumbai as we were married there.

Thank you all.

Hi all,

Just got the AOS fee bill and the DS3032 for the I130. The AOS fee bill is obvious enough, just make teh check out make photo copies of everything and send it out.

Little confused about the DS 3032.

1) What is it for?

2) Do you have to do this?

3) Should I just check and fill out the first option out of 4 (the one starting with I appoint) in the accompanying DS3032 form?

4) Does the spouse being applied for not receive any more mail after this?

5) Lastly is there a beter way to do this? Read some folks on this forum sending this via email.

Thanks all.

First of all a great big thanks to everyone who replied to my email. Secondly I apologize that I could not respond to my own thread sooner but....

Anyway I am gonna call teh NVC tonight to see if I am assigned a case number yet.

AS for the timeline I never really gave that a thought till now but I will post it as soon as I get my stuff together which should hopefully be next week as I am going to England this week to see my wife. Again thankyou everyone for taking the time to respond.

Hi all,

Wanted to first of all thank everyone for helping me out on so many previous occasions. My I130 reccently got approved even before my I129. It says on the notice that the petition has been sent to the NVC in Portsmouth NH. So I was just wondering:

1) If there is anything I need to do on my part?

2) What kind of timeline can I expect on this process?

Thanks again.

Hi all,

I know this question has probably been beaten to death before but I didnt find the answer to my specfic questions. I have filed the I130 and I129F for my wife in the UK (british citizen). Waiting for the NOA2 on the I129F. She has been here numerous times before on the VWP. My sister is getting engaged and I wanted her to come down for that just for the week.

I know its lawful to come under the VWP but on reading the forums it looks like people get denied at the POE. It also looks like this happens because the immigration officer at the POE makes a determination that the person has an intent to immigrate.

1) Is this determination based upon information voluntarily offered by people that they are visiting their spouses?

2) Does she have to say that she is visiting me or is it enough that she says her freind is getting engaged?

3) If she says her friend is geting engaged do they have any other way of knowing simply based upon the 30 seconds they spend with the person at the point of entry or the form that visitors are made to fill out that there is a petition filed for her?

Thank you all.

Hi all,

This site has been truly helpful. I recently filed my I130 for my spouse and got the NOA amazingly quick in a week. But now doing the I129F I came upon qestion 20 which basically states that I have to identify the country where she would have to go for her interview and it states that it has to be the country of marriage. We got married in India but her country of residence is the UK.

So I wan wondering if there is any exception to this rule, where I can specify the interview post as UK as opposed to India? Hope I made sense.

Thanks.

Thnx for all the replies,

So I am just going to go ahead and appply for the I130. Also if she does happen to come here just for a visit for a few days and if she sayds she is coming to visit an aunt (which is true) would they somehow know that I filed an I130 on her behalf?

Also on the G325a what should be the applicable box to check (naturalization or permanent resident)? I am guessing naturalization but just wanted to be sure.

Thanks mchina34 for bringing this up.

Thats what I though tI asked in my original post but according to The_dip_sticks they might disallow her entry into the US if she says she is married to a US citizen. I have gone through the visa waiver process (albeit on the other side of the Atlantic) and I cant remember them asking me anywhere if I was married or no.

Why would this option not be doable?

Thank you all for your replies.

Just to reiterate, bascially you start off by filing the I130 and the G325a for both me and my spouse, right?

Also since we just got married what kind of evidence are they looking for. For e.g the instructions show that you need to show:

1) Documentation showing joint ownership or property; or

2) A lease showing joint tenancy of a common residence; or

3) Documentation showing co-mingling of financialresources; or

4) Birth certificate(s) of child(ren) born to you etc.

I can treally show any of the above, so what kind of documentation would they be looking for?

Thanks again.

Hi there,

I had posted here before but that was before I got married and I would like to thank everyone for replying to that post. Anyway here goes:

I am a US citizen and my wife is British. We got married in Dec 06 in India. AS of now I am here in NYC and she is in London. Doing some research on this site I wanted to know what option is the most feasible (both from the ease of getting here, and the amount of work involved in the process). The target timeline we were looking at to be togetther is May 07.

1) File the K-3 and wait for that before she gets here. BTW can she come here to visit under the visa waiver program??

2) Come here under the visa waiver program and then do all teh necessary paperwork here in the US.

Thanks all for taking the time to read this and helping me out
