Guys,

i filled 2/13/2021 - Just received a notice of action. they returned the whole package because according to them i filled the application using an outdated form:

form used: OMB 1615-0038

                     expires: 12/31/2019

I'm looking at the site and they are using the same one. i'm lost at this point.

quick question. i sent a money order. will i be able to send the same money order?

Thank you for the quick reply and confirmation.

the TX center info from : https://www.usavisanow.com/09012008-new-uscis-filing-addresses-for-i-751-petitions/

Team,

Quick question,

per the U.S immigration the correct place to file using USPS in this:

U.S. Postal Service (USPS): 

USCIS 
P.O. Box 21200 
Phoenix, AZ 85036 

but per my state ( florida ) the place to file 

USCIS
P.O. BOX 660480
Dallas, TX 75266

Which one is the correct one 

Guys,

I'm going for a CR1 for my spouse. I-130 approved, we are already on the last steps of the I-864, on the 14th of November i sent a missing paper ( policy report ) , but today i received the following letter:

The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) does not allow derivative status to family members of immediate relatives. IR1, CR1, CR2, IR2, and IR5 classifications are immediate relative visa catagories. This means that a spouse, unmarried child under the age of 21 and a parent of a US citizen require their own individual petition in order to immigrate to the US

For information about how to submit a new visa petition for an immediate relative please contact the Department of Homeland Security office of US citizenship and Immigration services USCIS"

are they referring to my Daughter? which lives with my wife abroad, but she is a US citizen with a social security  and i claim her as a dependent. 

Anyone familiar with this?

Guys,

i just finished my DS-260 for my wife, but i have quick question from the i-864 part 3, ( wife and I have a daughter that has a US passport, but live her )

Part 1 - 2A - US address or wife current address? 

part 2

- do i check box #2

- do i add my daughter as family #2?

part 3

29- do i include my daughter or just wife ? i ask because in part 5 - #4 i have to include my daughter as a dependent 

thank you guya

Hello Andres,

 

I pretty much have the same question. I am not able to pay the IV fee yet but I already paid the AOS fee. 

 

You can't start the visa application because you first have to pay the IV fee.

 

As far as what is in the checklist, whatever applies to the applicant is what you are going to have to obtain in order to send to NVC. 

 

Hopefully somebody can come in an provide some guidance. So i cannot sent the AOS form or anything from the checklist, until i pay both fees? the AOS form and checklist docs get sent at the same time?  or i  can send the AOS form now?

Guys,

I finally received my "NVC Welcome letter" and i want to ensure i understand  the  steps to follow the  procedure. 

- D-261 filled online, waited 3 weeks and then Payed the fee ( $120  ) for AOS. this is  where i have question.

- the i-864 is to be sent over mail with the the following check list ?

When i login to my case. this is what i see

Do i start the "visa application"? also there is a fee for that, but shows $0 - When do i pay that?

and lastly. everything in the checklist is required ( even military record ?)

Thank you for all the help

Hi guys,

Quick question, once my wife and i go the the consulate interview ( don't have an appt yet ) and is approved, how long do we have before she has to leave her country? i know for most is a blessing, but in our case and plans ( our case is moving fast )  we were set for her to leave her country until January 2019.

Case sent to DOS may 30th

I did a search on the thread of NVC may 2018 filers and the range of USCIS to send your case to NVC can take up to 3 weeks.

 

as for assigning case number the normal time is around 6 weeks and up to 8. 

 

You have to call NVC weekly if you want to be on top of things.

 

I hired a lawyer and his estimates to get case no is 60 days which is close to what’s going on here on VJ .. 

So about 2-3 month to have a case number and then maybe another 2 months for interview? sound about right ?

HI!

congratulations, i know how are  you feeling at this moment. Now on the way to NVC

Thank you guys, very happy to see the process moving. quick question, i know i will have at least another 4 month before interview and approval, but  per our plans we are not looking for my wife to be in the states this year, we would like for her to be here by January. so the question is once everything is approved ( interview and all ) she has 6 months to fly to the states right?

guys,

i'm back do i have to fill a I-130a along with a I-130 if i'm petition my spouse ?

guys,

1) in the part for the petitioner it ask how many times i been marry ( does that include my current one ( which is my beneficiary)  

2) in part 4 where it question my beneficiary ( my spouse )  -  in regards to how many times she been married ( which is zero ) do i just say 1 ( current one ) which is me. correct? also in his casa date of marriage ended i just leave blank

3) part 4 where is ask my beneficiary family information ( do i just list myself and our daughter ? 

Guys,

Thank you for all the great recommendations and the knowledge i gained in two days for the proper procedure and what is the best option in my case and the differences. I will marry her when she gets here next month, then she will head back, file the I-130 and go from there. CR-1 it is.Yes, it is a  little more time, but saving 1k and the fact that she will get her GC once the CR-1 is complete.

Geowrian: excellent, that what i wanted to know,

Edit: just re-read your answer and answered my last question. regardless where we get marry she will have to wait in her home country to process the CR-1.

i see a i-129f, but that is used only when a k1-k3 visa is used right? in my case i do the i-130.

currently the I-130 is $535 but it seems that i also need the i-485 ( $1,140) if i go the CR-1 route

guys,

Thank you for all the great responses, so CR-1 it is, now is best to go there and get marry and have her  wait there   or have her come here using her b1 visa and get marry here ( in the US ) while she is here  file the i-130 then the i-475 ( or no need for this one ?) and stay here  or  marry when she comes next month, then she gets to go back and wait for the cr-1 to be complete to com back again ( when she comes next month she has to go back regardless ?

Thank you 

PS: i'm not concern with her working right after she is here ( she will not work for at least 2-3 years)  i just want to know our best scenario considering the CR-1 and that i will like her and by Daughter to be here by next year

Guys,

i was ready to file a k-1 ( wow $535) , anyways i'm a little confused as to which route to take for my case ( IR-1 or k-1) my fiance has a regular b1/b2 visa ( she visited last year and getting ready head this way next month again. We have a Daughter ( already a us citizen ( not born in the US ). i have a previous marriage ( 9 years ago ) and my fiance has none. we known  each other for about 7 years now ( Daughter is about to be 4)  so which route will you guys recommend? visit her country and get married and file a IR-1 or file a K-1 now. 

thank you guys

Hello,

I'm a US citizen and i will like to get the the citizenship for my baby that is 6 months old ( she was born outside the US ). I know it can be Done, but my question is; can it be done without the baby having to come to the US ( a least for the mean time, until she is 3 -4 years old )
