to all may filers,

my friends case got approved i just got the email. her timeline is 5/11/09 NOA1 09/15/09 NOA2

Also when scheduling interviews they like to call that administrative processing, I remember that on my k3 when I called the visa specialist to find out if I had an interview date she told me your k3 is under administrative process still so therefore there is no interview again I freak out but I remember what happened when I was at NVC so I asked her what that meant and she said at the embassy they were uploading the case to their system and reviewing it and until then that is called administrative processing to call back later.

Paris in the last stage of your CR1 process AP doesn't mean the same as the one that was holding your k3. they also call administrative processing to completing the case and sending it to the final review. I remember I freak out when I called nvc and was told to wait as my case was under administrative processing I was like WHY!!! and the operator told me that's all I could say to you and hang up I started crying but then I call back in Spanish and the operator told me that they were working still on my case and that was called administrative processing but that it should be completed in a few days and it was true two days after I called and my case was completed. so don't be scared, and also its a good thing that the k3 went to the embassy, soonest your cr1 gets completed here contact the embassy to switch the petitions so the cr1 could take the place of the k3.

I admire you guys for fasting I whish I could do it I once tried to do it and I almost passed out! Paris I'm really praying for your case to be completed I been checking on you all these days and I'm so happy that you are almost done with the process.!

Congrats to all the approvals, my friend is still waiting for her NOA2 her timeline is May 11 NOA 1 and no touches. hopefully she will get her approval soon, her husband just got fired las week and this is killing them.

thanks for your response i hope it works i was trying to call USCIS but there is no way to get to customer service in order to ask a question regarding the N400

hi all,

I'm trying to get my father to apply for citizenship but as I was going trough the application I noticed that it asks for the address of all his kids. my father was married 45 years ago with another lady and had one son, but after divorce the kid didn't forgive my father and since then my dad has never seen his son, I don't know him I have never seen him none of our family members know where he could be at so what should I do what information should I put on his application. please help.

my best advice wait until you get a confirmation from them could be the AVR the email or the hard copy. because sometimes the system lets you pay the $400 online and then the next day the payment bounce back as it works on two different systems and even tough one shows that the choice of agent is accepted the other is still sending the confirmation to the agent and this causes conflict. don't rush! give it one more day.

weird I called the day before I got the email an no updates on the AVR then the next day I got the email and I when I called the AVR indicated that the Choice of Agent was accepted. I thought it worked synchronized.

i know is a hard process but trust me at the end is so worth it! cheer up guys you are almost over!

you have to wait to get the email reply saying that your choice of agent was accepted.

paris heart i think for the NVC the documents have a validation of one year check on the country requirements

wow this is different :S when i did my process after i got my case number i called and called until the AVR said that the choice of agent was generated i sent out the email from my husband's account using the template that lotto had and then i kept calling like for 5 days and i got the message saying that our choice of agent was approved.and i got the hard copy on the mail.

pray to God for enlighten I know you need him here with you immediately. but when you do things in a rush they not always come out good. if you need help let me know! and yes wait until you get the case numbers. also find out how fast does the embassy book interviews.

Paris could you pursuit both? I did my CR1 at NVC and let the k3 get the interview first. then I asked to change the interview to CR1 instead but surprisingly my CR1 got interview date 10 days before the k3. if you work fast at NVCk you will get an interview at the same month you were going to get your k3. think about it! NVC is not hard i did it in 15 days counting holidays and weekends. and my husband got IR1

about freaking time!!! big congrats Paris! it has been a long jorney for you! i'm so happy!! have a smoth ride at NVC get your husband choice of agent ready and start calling NVC to get your case number have everything ready.

on the visa on your passport does it say IR1 or CR1. also on the stamp you got at Por of Entry the officer wrote IR1 or CR1?

go for the i-130 do all the NVC work is worth doing it.

as some of you know we were supposed to get CR1 because we have been only married for one year but instead got IR1 stamped on his passport and some of you told me to verify first and make sure before POE if that was correct or not. well guess what it was correct it seems that the interviewers have the decision whether they will give you CR1 or IR1. and at POE nothing was asked and on the stamp the guy wrote IR1. we were not asked not even one single question just signed a form and do the fingerprints and a big congratulation. i just wanted to share this with you guys. by the way my husband is really having a good time here in NYC. Good luck to all in this journey and if anyone needs help let me know

here are some pics of our religious wedding we were married by the civil law only and now we recently did it trough the church.

my friend had a touch today that's weird!

Paris i could smell your approval coming!!! it seems that cali still is moving a lot faster than VSC.

good luck to all of you starting this process thank god i'm out already but i'm helping my best friend to bring her hubby too so i will post here to check on everybody. we sent the I-130 on May 4th and the check was cashed on the 8th and in the back of the check we had a WAC # we checked on the uscis site and it seems that my friend's case was sent to California. she was supposed to be sent to Vermont but i guess she got lucky.

we were interviewed on MOnday and my husband got his passport on Thursday at his house! so is quick but is not reliable it might be fast it might take long.
