traveling while pregnant
Troy B replied to Tay123's topic in Working & Traveling During US Immigration
You would want to look into rules regarding Consular Reported Birth Abroad (CRBA). -
please add me, CR1 submitted everything on 5/12 and of course the NVC Timeframes page did not update yesterday.... fingers crossed that they don't issue an RFI for the back our marriage certificate....

Traveling to Europe with my green card (CR1)
Troy B replied to Sabela's topic in Working & Traveling During US Immigration
I have Brazilian residency, I show my "green card" and US passport when I enter and leave Brazil. I would expect the same with US residency. -
The sponsor if a USC does not have a A-number to put on the form. Just looking at my scan of the document, seems i checked Part 4 item 2, but failed to put my name there. I did not add any note about my spouse being outside of USA (other than the Address history showing her current address not in USA). I also did not bother writing N/A or Not applicable to any of the items. Just make sure you include all 7 pages (including the empty page 7).

It should be noted the ultimate IR1 vs CR1 will be determined by when you use the non-expired spousal visa. (eg when it gets stamped by the US border agent).

How to update I-130?
Troy B replied to Danio940's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
It's generally regarded as very difficult to get a B2 tourist visa after the immigration intent has been planted with the i-130 submission. But you are free to try, it's only $$ and time. Please report back whether you were able to get the B2 visa. -
2 or 10 year Green Card
Troy B replied to TexasRafael's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
Also for timing purposing, reminder the spousal visa will likely expire 6 months from the date of the medical interview. And you can slow things done by not finishing the NVC stage. with the tip to if you are delaying more than a year, this bit of instructions I failed to note the author of: "Use the AskNVC web portal. Only a simple message is required, such as “I need more time for our case. This is my record of annual NVC contact.” Upside: You will receive an immediate automated e-mail record of your contact with NVC including all the communication detail. In the e-mail, it states: “Please retain this email as a record of your contact with NVC”." -

Proof of Citizenship, besides Passport
Troy B replied to Alsharai's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
uh, the i130 instructions (02/13/19 version) I read has his: What documents do you need to show that you are a U.S. citizen? A copy of your birth certificate, issued by a civil registrar, vital statistics office, or other civil authority showing that you were born in the United States; A copy of your naturalization certificate or certificate of citizenship issued by USCIS or the former Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS); A copy of Form FS-240, Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA), issued by a U.S. Embassy or U.S. Consulate; A copy of your unexpired U.S. passport; or An original statement from a U.S. consular officer verifying that you are a U.S. citizen with a valid passport. If you do not have any of the above documents and you were born in the United States, see the What if an officialdocument is not available section of these Instructions. those are an "or", so 4 "A copy of your unexpired U.S. passport" is good enough to proof that they are a U.S. Citizen. -

Proof of Citizenship, besides Passport

Passport proves Identity and Citizenship. Why would you need something other than passport? -
Questions on I-130 evidence
Troy B replied to James1223's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
Affidavits are a very poor source of information. Time spent together is much more important for the i-130.
