Hello, i need to get the Certificate of No-Impediment to Marriagefor embassy but idk whats the real requirement to obtain it. i see result showing i need justice of peace to sign it and then seeing thats false. anyone been through the process and can confirm which is true and how long it truly takes to get it after paying.

I recently got mine done, you go to the rgd, collect a form which has to be signed and stamped by a JP and then return to the rgd 

Case status updated to "Ready"

Case status changed to "in transit" today

How do you get through? The numbers I call just have an automated message then it turns off the call.

This is what happens when you try calling anytime past 7, my fiance is in Colorado and had to make the call at 5am her time to get someone on the phone. Will try calling back next week to see if our case number is ready.

I don't know how their system works...our NOA2 was August 11 and they said they received it August 25th, but still no update when we called them a second time yesterday. How is it others with the same NOA2 have either not even had their cases received by the NVC yet, and then there's some who have their case number already. I just wanna know how it works!!! LOL

We have a NOA2 date of August 10th, when we called last week they advised they hadn't received it yet and that we should count 6 weeks from 08/10 and try calling back 🤷🏾‍♀️

Finally approved today, so thankful that this long wait is over and we can start focusing on the future.

My fiancé just received our NOA1 in the mail (following the text message we received). Our notice date is March 3rd but our received date was January 6th. Which of these goes in the NOA1 date slot for the timeline? Sorry I’m just a bit confused. 

I saw 2 dates, receipt date (jan 4, when it got to lockbox) and notice date (march 2). I used the notice date on my timeline.

NOA1 text notification just received, Petition was received at the Texas lockbox on Jan 4

An expedite is unlikely to be approved. What you are proposing could be construed as work. And you won’t have work authorization until many months after the marriage ceremony in the US and the filing of the relevant paperwork. 
 

Also, she needs professional help. Whilst your intentions are obviously out of love and compassion, and that is to be applauded, the US has adequate provisions for even the most severe mental health conditions. 
 

Don’t have the ceremony. It will muddy the waters too much as to whether you are married or not. Keep it clean and simple and have no ceremony until the wedding here in the US. 

Thank you, she is still getting out patient help.

Perhaps consider thinking deeply about the ramifications of this.

It's unclear how a consular officer would deal with this knowledge.

 

It is clear that "being too married for a K-1 and not married enough for a CR-1" is a risk taken and dilemma that many have faced.  A great many threads on this exact topic, chiefly regarding African approaches, have been posted and discussed.

Thank you 

My partner and i are considering a symbolic ceremony in my country this summer, it has been a long and difficult journey for us as we have had to cancel several trips due to Covid and have not seen each other since July 2019 (she's a single mom raising 3 kids on her own and i do not have a visitor's visa to visit her in the US). We submitted the K1 petition at the end of December 2020 and it was delivered early January, we had the intention to just have a wedding when the visa is approved (which we will still have to do, but maybe with just us and the kids instead of the wedding she really wanted) but life has thrown so much ####### at us in just the past month, 2nd week of January she had a psychotic break and was taken to a mental hospital, she ended up being there for 2 weeks i had to use her last know location on google to find where she was and what was happening as her family did not even notice anything was wrong or tried to help her when i got her to call 911, she kept asking for me and so the doctors thought i was a split personality of hers, no family member went with her and so they just made assumptions and locked her away. More than anything else we just need to make the commitment to each other,  that desire is greater than getting approved, greater than finally being together, though both of these right now would be amazing but the very real fact is that we have a long road ahead of us and so we need to take that step so it can be something we can hold on to until we can be together. Same sex marriages are not legal in my country, hence the decision on just a symbolic ceremony.  *Side note, would her current situation with the psychotic break be sufficient to put in an expedite request?  We can manage taking care of her financially but now that she has been out of the hospital, she is still fragile and could use the help to take care of both her and the children.
