Hi all,
I am in a very peculiar situation right now. My wife's K3 interview has been scheduled for Mar 18. Her IR1 case at NVC was completed on Feb 10. After I requested NVC to send her completed IR1 papers to the consulate after being advised so from the consulate (consulate asked her to request NVC), her IR1 papers were sent to consulate from NVC on Feb 19 and is expected to reach consulate on Feb 24. She has emailed the consulate yesterday to flip her K3 interview to IR1 interview on Mar 18, but has not received any response from the consulate. I do not know what to do at this present juncture and I am in an dilemma regarding this peculiar situation. Will the consulate conduct her K3 interview as scheduled on Mar 18 or will they wait till she gets a appointment date for IR1 ? She was unable to get an appointment date for IR1 for Mar and is waiting for an date in April. Any advice is appreciated.

My wife's IR1 visa case was completed at NVC on Feb 10th, 2009, but she did not get an interview date for March at Mumbai.
She has the K3 visa interview on Mar 18th. I was told that unless one gets an appointment date for IR1 visa, they will
not mail the paperwork for IR1 to the consulate. I thought that if NVC would mail the paperwork for IR1 to the consulate
before the K3 interview, my wife would have a chance to convert the K3 visa interview to IR1 interview. I do not know
what to do at this moment, whether to go for K3 or IR1 visa interview. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

For those of you who are approved in January, lets help each other out so we can fly through NVC process quicker.
Keep all approvals updated with your progress at NVC. I am planning to call NVC tomorrow to see if they received my files from VSC.
BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYONE!!!!!
Hi All,
My wife's k3 visa interview is fixed for Mar 18. Her paperwork for IR3 is still pending at NVC now and she has submitted the DS 230 and I 864
already to NVC and waiting on a decision. Will the consulate change her k3 interview to IR1 interview, if her paperwork for IR1 reaches
consulate before that ? Should she tell the consulate that her paperwork for IR1 is with the consulate (once it reaches the consulate) when she goes for her k3 interview ?
What will the consulate guys do when she goes to her interview on Mar 18 and they find that her CR1 papers are with them ? Will they go ahead and conduct
her k3 interview as expected or will they flip over to IR1 interview on the same day ? Also, on the back of the 2 photos sent to NVC along with DS 230, the name and case number was written in ball point very lightly. Will she get an RFE on this ? It did not mention any were that we need to send photos along with DS 230. Is it necessary to send the photos along with DS 230 ? Please enlighten me on this matter.
Thanks.
Jai,
it all depends on consulate to convert her k3 into cr1, but most probably they will if her cr1 file reaches consulate even day before her k3 interview. I suggest if you want to and ONLY if you want to you can contact the consulate and consult the situation. Yes, you do have to send 2 2x2 passport size photo along with ds230 and writing case number using ball pen on back of photos is just fine. You wont get RFE dont worry.
Good luck!
thanks waithatter

Hi All,
The below passage states that I - 864 AOS needs to be signed and notarized by the petitioner !
Did anyone in this forum, while submitting the I - 864 AOS form, get it notarized ?
Thanks.

Application Mistakes
Common Mistakes on Immigrant Visa Applications
Below are some of the most common problems we encounter in conjunction with Immigrant Visa applications. Please take time to read the items below and be familiar with all of the information you have received in this package so that your Immigrant Visa processing can go smoothly and quickly.
Application Form (DS-230):
Complete ALL sections of the application. DO NOT leave any question unanswered. This includes all parts of questions 22 and 23.
DO NOT use the term "not applicable" or "N/A". Instead write "none" or "never".
Sign and date the bottom of page 2. Copies or facsimiles of your signature are not acceptable. Children, who are able to, should sign their own forms and the parents of children under 16 should also sign the child's name and write "by (father) or (mother), whichever is appropriate.
DO NOT sign the bottom of page 4. You should only sign page four when instructed to do so by the Consular Officer during your visa interview.
Affidavit of Support (I-864):
You must have a fully completed Form I-864 signed and notarized by the petitioner, even if the petitioner has no income.
You must have all attachments with the I-864. You may be refused under section 221g of the INA for an incomplete I-864.
If the petitioner's income is not sufficient to meet income requirements, the income of another person residing in the same household can be combined with the petitioner's income by signing and notarizing an "Agreement of Household Member" (I-864A). The household member must submit all attachments as well.
If you are, as a sponsor, including your spouse’s income, you must also submit an I-864A from your spouse.
A person residing outside of the petitioner's household may also act as a financial co-sponsor by completing a separate I-864.
Household size includes everyone living in your house, even if they are independent.
ALL I-864 AND I-864A forms MUST include the income tax returns (form 1040 and W-2) from the last three years along with an employment verification letter for each person sponsoring the applicant. The petitioner and/or any financial co-sponsor may also wish to submit recent pay slips and a bank statement.
Each family member applying for an immigrant visa must have an I-864 with an original, notarized signature.
Other Documentation:
You must have the appropriate Police Certificates with you to submit at the time of the interview. Your visa cannot be issued without them.

I personally would put the BARCODED cover sheet, and underneath it an actual cover letter stating exactly what is in the packet. That way they know what is enclosed in the package you're sending them. The barcoded sheet is so they can scan it in.
Good luck!
Thanks bud.

Hi Guys,
I paid my IV bill online and was able to print a coversheet online with barcode
through NVC website. Is this barcode enough to be placed along with DS-230
form or is it neccessary to include the coversheet with barcode provided in
James shortcut ? What is the difference between these 2 coversheets ?
Thanks

I just got a letter in the mail saying they would be sending my I-129F to the Consulate within 4-5 days!
Great! Did NVC rep tell you when they shipped your I-129f to consulate? You can track on dhl website if you know the day they forwarded your file.
I've been trying to do this, but the instructions confuse me. NVC said they sent ours on the 12th but nothing shows up on DHL for any date
Try this, EXP 12 JAN 2009A
Then choose shipment date from 11 jan to 16 jan and track it. This should work.
Did you download packet 3 from net yourself and send it or did you wait to get the packet 3 from consulate and then mail it ? Also since I am having 2 employers
one primary and other secondary or part-time, should I send employment letters from both my employers or is it ok to send the same from just the primary employer ?

Congratulations ! Was your case transferred to CSC at any time ?
Flipping K3 interview date to IR1/CR1 interview...
in K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
Posted
Same as your's waithatter. I do not know how to go about from here now onwards. I know that she has to submit documents for her k3 interview 7-10 days in advance. But since her situation has changed what documents does she need to submit and what is expected of her from the consulate ? I have now clue to the ongoing situation ! Step by step advice is welcome.
