hope this helps

But if it is not required (since she is not in the USA) why bother to do this? Won't it just create confusion? As they will believe she is in the USA when in reality the photo was taken in India and printed in the States. Just looking for clarification. 

this is the fastest way, but you still can let her takes, prints and sends it to you via any kind of mail. its your choice but USCIS's requirement(photo both petitioner and beneficiary)for that. best of luck.

I am a US citizen by birth applying for the CR1 visa for my wife in India. When filling out the I130 and I130A, passport photos are needed for both. Since my wife is in India, is a US style passport photo required? Can it be a India passport photo?

 

 

Just let your wife gets that passport photo style in image file then send it to you by email or messenger...etc. you take it to photo printing shop and tell them to print out as passport photo style for you. make sure you write full name and date of birth at the back each photos. my wife did this.

Is anybody else getting an error notice when logging into CEAC? 

I can login with no error. 

Hi, Q: DS260, Have you attended any educational institutions at a secondary level or above ? my high school was grade 10-12 and university was year-1 to year-4, should I fill the date of grade 10 and year-1 or grade 12 and year-4 ? thanks 

Hi all, is it possible to upload proof of relationship(wedding party photo, trip photo...etc...) to the CEAC system and under AOS or Applicant Civil docs ?  thanks you.

I've been wanting to write this for SO long!

 

After 10 and a half months stuck at Nebraska, two months in NVC and almost six months waiting after our CC to get an interview, it finally happened!

 

My interview appointment was stressful. There even was a point where the supervisor approached the officer and they closed the microphone. I thought I was going to faint. My case was a bit complicated and it looked weird on paper, but after explaining what happened things started to get a little better. Overall it took me 3 hours (two hours waiting and one hour of questioning!) but I fully understood it's their job and they just had to make sure everything was in order. Everyone was very nice and professional, and even being Juarez I've never felt unsafe. I have honestly nothing but nice things to say about the U.S consulate and even though the process is incredibly draining if you play by the rules and follow the requirements it's not that bad. 

 

561 days of documents, tears, long distance, money (oh, the money) the uncertainty. It was incredibly worth it just for this moment! to hug my husband waiting for me outside and dance with my little green paper. 

 

Thank you SO much, everyone, for helping me throughout the process. I couldn't have done it without you, since you helped me not only be prepared for the process but stay sane after it kept taking longer and longer. I am also aware it didn't take as long as others and it wasn't the most complex situation, so I'm counting my blessings and I feel very lucky that overall things went smoothly and I get to drive back with my love to Texas and start our lives together, almost two years after getting married yet so ready to start from scratch as newlyweds. 

 

I wish you all the best on your journey! you deserve to experience the same joy I'm experiencing. 

❤️ Lorena 

 

Congratulation to both of you.

Is AOS submitted all in one document or is i-864 submitted separately and financial documents separately?

Also, is there an option to upload "additional documents" under AOS?

here https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/after-petition-approved/begin-nat-visa-center/ceac-electronic-processing.html at the end of the page you can find instruction in PDF, download it if you prefer.

Just hold on for the welcome letter. It seems NVC has cleared its backlog.

 

I guess you already have all the necessary information you need for this part of this process.

 

Best of luck
