    CR1 - will our case be sent to a different processing centre?

    in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports

    Hi all. Me and my partner have decided to go the CR1 route. 

    We are worried about processing times. We will be filing from Texas, the times are not too bad there, but we are worried it will be transferred to California or something. Is there any reason why our case would be transferred if Texas is processing those forms? Surely there is no reason for it to be transferred, but we don't want to start the process expecting a 12 month wait only for it to be 24 instead. 

     

     Any help is much appreciated. 

    I was at potomac, moved to Cali. Already prepare yourself for the worst but pray for the best. I have seen people getting approved from Cali in 10-12 months too.

    Real life examples. 

    Case 1:  Mr A enters the US to see his wife on a B1/B2 visa. He is planning on returning to his country after 3 months but then COVID hits. He decides to stay in the US and AOS. If he doesn't AOS he will overstay his visa because there are no flights to his country. His country has closed their borders.

    In this scenario, we understand circumstances change. 

     

    Case 2: Mr A enters the US and tells CBP he wants to visit his wife. But, he has quit his job, sold his house, closed his bank accounts and brought all his important documents like birth certificate, divorce certificates and clothes to the US. He thinks he doesn't have to follow the normal procedures and apply for an immigrant visa through the consulate. 

     

    In Case 2, Mr A will be denied entry by CBP if they think he is lying about just visiting his wife. He won't be able to visit his wife while he goes through consular processing and he makes it harder for people from his country to obtain B visas because the US thinks everyone with a USC spouse wants to live in the US. 

    Hmm. I believe the US should come up with something like a Temporary Spouse Visitor visa, which would enable us to visit our spouses and come back, and on that Visa one wouldn't be able to adjust status or something like that. That way we would easily visit our spouses & come back till we actually immigrate.

    Guys I need some understanding on this topic. Why does something like AOS exists when ethically (not legally) it is an immigration fraud?

    Case 1: Mr. A enters US to see his wife on a B1/B2 visa with an intent of going back in 3 months. After 3 months he decides for AOS since he changed his mind and doesn't wanna go back.

    Case 2: Mr. A enters US to see his wife on a B1/B2 visa with an intent of AOS. After 3 months he applies for AOS.

    In both the above scenarios, we will call Case 1 as completely justified (because there was no intent) and Case 2 as immigration fraud right (Because there was an intent)?

    It’s not so much the skin tone, many times it’s the “race” more than anything else.

    True, I completely agree

    Thanks. i agree with you but i think the norm and culture of a place don't really define an individual. Most cultural beliefs and practises are old fashioned and i believe people have learnt to liberate themselves from that shackles.

     

    I feel you brother. In my culture falling for someone with a certain skin tone is a taboo, yet I fell for my beautiful wife who happens to be an African.

    Hi all,

    This is just a summary of the events that led me to file a lawsuit with al lawyer called "Writ of Mandamus" to move my case forward.

    Removal of conditions filed in July 2019.

    October 2019 Fingerprints taken

    No movement for 2 years. In the meantime all my fellow July 2019 filers had been approved.

    In March 2021 my case was very much outside processing times, so I started contacting the DHS Ombudsman, my local representative and my 2 US Senators. Not one of them ever replied, nor contacted me in any way. With USCS I filed about 8 or 9 Service Requests. Not a single one was ever adressed. They were closed without any explaination.

     

    After 30 months waiting, I decided to file a lawsuit in October of this year, within 3 weeks my Removal of Conditions was approved and my N400 interview was scheduled and last week I became a Citizen.

     

    This should not be normal. Blaming COVID for these ridiculous delays is an easy excuse.

    I have a strong case, both me and my wife have good jobs, I am not from a "conflictive" country (whatever that means) of course no criminal records and I pay a lot in taxes to Uncle Sam.

     

    This process has been a complete nightmare to me and my family and I hope I never have to step inside a USCIS office ever again. 

     

    I wish you all the best of luck,

    May be we all should follow suit 

    Birth Affidavit incase of non availability of birth certificate

    Secondary birth evidence is required to be provided as well and includes but is not limited to the following: school leaving certificates, ration cards, church / baptismal records, hospital records, and medical records

     

    Have u been issued a National ID or a passport from your country?

     

    Affidavits are not the best evidence

    Well actually I am asking for my mother, whom eventually I plan to sponsor once I get naturalized, just completing everything beforehand, she is already 76 years of age and there are just a few people who are elder than her remaining alive, that too only by 3-4 months elder than her, and back in the day when she was born, there used to be no birth certificate, no hospital record (probably she was born at the home) etc. She does have the passport though.

    Can't be younger as they wouldn't be around during birth. Affidavit by people just few years older than the person of interest will likely not accepted as well. "I certify that i saw/was around when Mrs. Xxx giving birth to Mr. X when i was 3 years old" might not fly.

    Ok so then what are we supposed to do if the applicant is over 76 years old already and there isn't anybody alive who is older than her?
