Hi,

My wife is freaking out and I'm getting concern as well. She had her interview on the 9th of December and got approved. When she got home there was a letter from the embassy stating that her physical was incomplete and that she needed to call the dr. and get the missing paperwork in before her Visa could continue getting processed. Apparently the Dr. misplaced the papers or lost them (Who knows) anyways, she took the requested papers to the Dr. the next day and was told the embassy would get them the following day. It is going on two week and she still hasn't received the Visa.

We emailed the embassy but haven't received a response, she tried calling but apparently an answering machine came on saying there is no more phone support for IV??? and needs to send an email instead? Is there a number I could call to try to find out what is going on?

We don't even know if they did in fact received the papers since we can't get a hold of anyone. We were planning on moving ending of next month. Do you think she'll get it before then? Just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience and how long it took you or what you did.

Thanks, everyone~

Merry Christmas too~

I just wanted to drop in and say that my wife was approved on Tuesday! Now just waiting for the big move on Jan. 26th

I'll try to get her to log on here to post a review of her interview.

Thanks for all the help!

Hi,

My wife just received her results from her physical and was concerned about a box that was checked in the immunization record sheet.

Under "2. Results," "Vaccine history is incomplete" is checked. Then under that, "applicant may be eligible for blanket waivers because vaccination(s) not medically appropriate (as indicated above)"

There are 10 total vaccines that he checked, all with the reason of "Not age appropriate."

The vaccines are:

DT or DTP or DTaP

Polio

Rotavirus

Hib

Hepatitis A

Hepatitis B

meningococcal

Zoster

Pneumococcal

Influenza

My wife has no vaccination record from China so she had to get titer tested for most. She only needed to get the HPV vaccine at the physical. I'm assuming these are vaccines that are given to kids hence the "not age appropriate." Am I correct? Is there anything to worry about going forward to the interview?

Thanks for any help.

Finally. Ours is scheduled for Dec. 9th at 8:30 am.

Yes, they seem to have gotten a head start for Dec. in Montreal. I just called this morning and found out my wife's interview is on Dec. 9th.

Yup. I just called and got the script read to me. I was told to call back next week as they haven't finished scheduling interviews.

Can I please be added, thanks!

Wohooo~ Case Completed on 10-03-2008 Hope my wife can get squeezed in for an interview for next month *fingers crossed* Hope Montreal embassy doesn't have a long waiting list.

Does she have the tax transcripts for the other two years, and were they also joint?

Yes, she does have tax transcripts for the other two years and they were both filed jointly with her husband.

Good Evening,

I have a quick question regarding question #25 on form I-864. I will be using a co-sponsor (my sister) who filed jointly with her husband. I will only be using the income of my sister and not my brother in law. Since they filed jointly, I will be including my sister's W-2 along with their joint tax transcript for the most recent tax year in order to show her annual income alone. Now, on question #25 it asks one to list their total income for the past 3 years. I can fill last years easily as it shows her individual income on her W-2. Unfortunately she does not have her W-2's for the other two years. What would I be putting down for the other two years?

Thanks for any advice.

Hello,

I had a quick question in regards to working after one goes through POE. I was wondering how soon one would be able to start working. I know you need to wait until your SS# arrives. Do you need to wait until your GC arrives as well or can you begin as soon as you get your social?

Thanks in advance!

Early March filers, don't give up!!!! I just noticed an e-mail from CRIS that my I-130 was approved on July 17!!! This is good news for all the early March filers who were beginning to think we were left behind. Hopefully this signals that the rest of you will get approvals coming your way. The only touch I had before the approval was back on March 12th.

I received an unexpected surprise today! An e-mail from CRIS, we got approved!!! :dance:

Apparently, we got approved last night. The e-mail came in around 9 pm (PST) but didn't notice it until today. I hope this is a good sign for all those other March filers (mostly the early ones left) that approvals are coming your way! Don't lose hope!

I'm in the same boat as everyone here. Sent my I-130 on March 4th and received NOA1 dated March 10th. The only touch I have has been on March 12th and nothing since then. My wife keeps asking when we will get an approval since she's seen the spreadsheet and late March filers have gotten their NOA2 already. I don't know what to tell her, I wonder why early March filers haven't received anything. Hope we all hear something soon!

so nobody from March has getting any good news?

I have yet to hear/see anything new about my case... Hopefully something will come up soon.

Same here, I haven't heard or seen anything since NOA1. Hope we all get some good news soon...

Tried to edit previous posts but couldn't.

I meant "BettyYRey" not "Jnada" and "wasted" is suppose to be "was" ooops!!!

Hi there,

Jnada, you and I have similar timelines. Mine is as follows:

Mailed our I-130 petition on March 4th (overnight) and was received by Bustamante on the 5th.

Money Order was cashed on March 11

Received NOA1 on March 13th, it wasted dated March 10

Best of luck to us all!

PS: Our file is at the CSC

First off, thank you for everyone who has replied to all my previous posts. I had a question in regards to payment for the I-130. We don't qualify for DCF so we have to send the file to USCIS and were hoping to send it tomorrow since we have everything ready. As far as the payment goes, it clearly states that the money order or check needs to be drawn on a bank that is in the U.S. Unfortunately, I don't have open an account in the U.S. so checks are out of the question. As far as money orders go, the only bank that is in Canada and also one in the U.S. is HSBC. For those that have run into similar issues, I just want to double check if a US money order from HSBC would be acceptable.

Thanks again.

Thanks for all the replies, they really helped. I had another quick question, my wife called the RCMP office in Montreal to inquire about the clearances and was told that they no longer do them there and would have to either go to another RCMP office outside montreal or through a private agency. Have any of you been in this same scenario and would a clearance from a private agency be accepted or would she have to go to one of the other RCMP offices? Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I had a quick question which I posted in the Canada section but figure that posting here as well might help.

I will be submitting the I-130 for my wife who lives in Montreal and I was looking ahead and read over some scans of the CR1 / IR1 interview letter that someone posted on another forum and noticed that they require records of having listed vaccinations. My wife moved to Montreal five years ago from China and she has no memory of receiving any records of vaccinations and doesn't believe she can get such documents. My question is, what can we do in this case? Obviously some would be easy to satisfy such as the tetanus one since that one is every 10 years I believe. But how about those that are given when one if a baby? How would we provide documentation for these? I appreciate any advice.

I'm not sure if the process if the same for those applying from China but in case it is how would one go about to acquire such records? In the likelihood that such documents cannot be received what do you suggest that can be done?

Thank you in advance

Hi,

I have another questions in regards to the needed police certificates for the CR-1 visa. For the RCMP we noticed that they only ask for a name based check but mention that a fingerprint check can be requested at the examining officer's request. For those that have gone through this step already, which did you get? The name based check or the fingerprint one just to be on the safe side?

Secondly, I am petitioning for my wife who has PR status in Canada but her citizenship is Chinese. Is she required to get police clearances from China since she was living there up until the age of 20? Or do we simply only need the RCMP ones?

Thanks for your advice!
