I'm wondering this too!  There doesn't seem to be a way to get it outside of China.

I'm in the same boat. There have been a couple of posts about getting a police cert from China. @cbro (links to other posts in the link lol)

Update 10/12/19

just got a rejection letter from the IRS. In the letter it stated we were rejected and needed to provide prof of forigen stats. 

The IRS off made a copy of my wife's passport and sent it in. So apparently they didn't accept the copy their office sent in.

The letter also said I can resubmit by sending the original passport, national ID card,  or a state issued ID. So they didn't accept the passport copy their own office made. 

I I guess I'll just wait until I file my taxes and attach the W-7.

F!  the IRS  [ventung over]

Hi all, I’m sure this has been posted before however I was unable to find the forums. I am the usc currently going through the K1 visa process with my fiancé. He use to go to school in China for 2 years but is now back in his home country and we need to get his police clearance for the next phase of the process. We do not have an interview scheduled yet but are trying to be proactive to get all documents needed. We keep running into dead ends when it comes to reaching out to his friends out there to help and go get it for him. Is there anyone out there that can provide assistance or insight on how we can obtain one? Or even just the clearance from his school? Please reach out thanks!

Here's another good post, they ended up going to China to get their report. 

I hope he's good. Please let us/everyone know what happens. 

The China sub-forum has a wealth of information. I can't vouch for this service but it won't hurt to look in to it.

My second question is about the insurance, my husband tried to add me to his insurance but they told him that I have to be there and to have the SSN but they can give us a letter states that they will add me to his insurance when I get to the US even if it's not the enrollment time..

Will that letter be enough for the CO ?

 

I was able to add my wife to my insurance w/o a SSN. Stating this year, the company that manages our benefits plan said a SSN was required. But after calling and explaining we are waiting for her visa and SSN to be issued I was able to add her. They said just call when she has a SSN and update the file. So it might company specific. But a SSN is not required for insurance. 

However i did find this on the IRS website. It might explain why the insurance company wants it. It seems a TIN should work. 

Q1. My health insurance company has requested that I provide them with my social security number and the social security numbers of my spouse and children.  Is there a reason why they need our social security numbers?

A1. Your health insurance company is required to provide Form 1095-B, Health Coverage to you and to the Internal Revenue Service. You will use information from the form to prepare your individual income tax return. The law requires SSNs to be reported on Form 1095-B. 

Q5: If I do not have a social security number (SSN) or other tax identifying number (TIN) for myself or other covered individuals, such as my spouse or dependents, should I contact the IRS to obtain  a social security number or individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN) so that I can give it to my health coverage provider?

A5: No, it is not necessary for you to contact the IRS if you do not have an SSN or a TIN.  You should advise your coverage provider that you do not have an SSN or TIN and give them the date of birth for each covered individual.

Petitioner: For yourself be aware there will be a change on the i-864 starting 10/15 im not sure how drastic it is. With that said they will not accept that current form if its not post dated/stamped 10/14. Im not sure what i-164ez is but the 864 has multiple different variations so make sure you use the one that will Work for you.

Applicant: wife she will need passport biographic page, 2x2 photo and marriage certificate to add to the ones you already listed.

 

Thanks for the reminder about the new versions. I'll have to redo them =( 

Also nice list you posted. Thanks

What documents do they require? What are you gathering?

I have no idea exactly what will be required yet. For now these are what we are working on:

Myself:

Tax Transcripts

I-164EZ

I-864

Wife:

Police reports

Birth cert

Other than those I don't know what we'll need. 

Just got notification my case was sent to NVC. Now time to gather more documents. Wooo

My wife kept her last name after we got married. We figured it would be a huge PIA for her since she would have to update her information in China and Japan. If we were younger she would have changed it (so she says haha).

We never thought that changing her last name would make it easier to transition. I mean it is America, people's last names are all over the place. Plus we'll be living in an area were people are used to Asian last names.

I don’t have a problem doing it, but I honestly have no idea where and how because I’ve never looked at it 

There’s no cult. But when people are super aggressive and pushy about it, others don’t want to do it. 

It doesn't bother me if you do or don't. (but it does help the stats). I just saw a chance to use the giant emoji(?) thing and had to do it. 😃

Getting ready to send in the I-129 and cannot find NOA1 for the I-130 to attach a copy 😰 Any ideas on what the best course of action is here? Can we request a copy? Or would a cover letter with the receipt number suffice? 

You can always try to contact them and say you never got the NOA. 

Also, I've always wanted to use this one haha

On my side , my USCIS didn’t update , just the old website “USCIS.gov” 

if one says approved trust this one ahah .

did you received your NOA2? 

Yes I received the NOA2 last week. The approval date was 9/24/19. The letter says to give NVC 30 days before contacting them.

When USCIS send your case to NVC they update your case online ( USCIS.gov or my USCIS ) and you have the notification “case sent to the department of state “

case tracker was the quickest to advise me lol 

Thanks I'll keep checking there. =(

I have very little faith those sites are truthful haha

One site still shows received, the other says case was approved. 

4 hours ago, Mr & Mrs T said:

From date USCIS send to the department of state . Then again a month to receive the case number . So about 2 months from NOA2 to case number 

Is there a way to tell when your case is sent out?  (From USCIS -> NVC)

Or do you just have to sit and wait for an email?

Wow! That would be a really fast turn around time on the 129F

They might be trying to push as much as they can out by the end if the FFY (Federal Fiscal Year) that's why it appears there was a lot of action the last few weeks.

Just got an email notification my I-130 was approved.

No text message. No mail yet but probably will get next week)

I-130  PD  3/12/19 - Nebraska

I-129f PD  8/12/19

I-130 Approved email 9/25/2019

Consider how the first number is written dd/mm/yyyy i would assume all numbers are written with that format 

Sorry I couldn't help it.

The first number appears to be written the US way,  DOB 09/23/1996 

Second number other, 3rd  (2017), 4th and 5th?  

But yes some clarification on the dates is needed.

Why do some submit the I-130, and then the I-129F?

There's a theory that submitting the I-129F after the I-130 will trigger a review of your I-130.  Both will be reviewed at the same time. 

edit: I say theory because, as far as i know, there's nothing from USCIS stating such. Although there are some pretty good post on VJ about it.

I-130

NOA1 12/14/18 NSC

 

Filed I-129f on 08/12/19

DENIED I-129f on 09/16/19 (today)

 

I just received notice via Case Tracker this afternoon.  I suppose this is "good" news?  Best of luck to those still waiting to hear.  My wife is Portuguese living in the UK for anyone curious.

 

 

 

 

I have the same date as you for the I-129F. My I-130 date is 3/9/19. But both the old and new USCIS website just say case received. Your denial gives me hope I'll get one soon as well 😃
