  1. It looks like we are probably the last one in August. Best of luck to others that are waiting. Our journey is finally over! VJ really made it easy for us. With all the great info and reading others experiences we did everything ourselves. Could not have been easier. The worst part of everything has just been the waiting.

    Here is our interview experience:

    We had our interview today in Orlando. Has to be one of the slowest right now but hopefully others won't have to wait as long as we did.

    We arrived at the Orlando Field office at about 905am for our 930am appointment. We checked in and took a seat. It wasn't overly crowded but there is a very large waiting area. She wasn't called until about 10am. She went back with the IO to his office. He started with the civics, reading and writing tests.

    He asked her,

    Where is the statue of liberty?

    Who was the first president?

    What are 2 national holidays?

    What movement tried to end racial discrimination?

    Who is the governor of Florida?

    What is one promise you make when you become a citizen?

    Then he asked her to write, "The President lives in the United States."

    Then he asked her to read, "The President lives in the White House."

    Then he asked her if she had any additional evidence. She gave him our most current utility bills, bank statements, insurance, and 2012 tax return. He then started looking over her file. He was kinda talking to himself a little bit saying stuff like, oh I see you lived in Russia, which technically she lived in Belarus but I guess he felt it was all the same. She didn't say anything during this time. He then asked her where I was born. He then said oh you have an 11 year age difference and she said, no it is only 8. Then he asked why we lived in Belarus for a couple years before coming to the USA. She explained everything. He was obviously trying to trip her up and make sure she knew the details on our application. So be sure you go over your application too. Then he said, You didn't take any trips out of the US? She said, no, we haven't had a chance with work. He didn't look at the additional evidence at all. He then had her sign some papers and said she was recommended for approval. Then she came out to the waiting area. The IO was very nice and friendly. She was in there for about 20 minutes. He told her to wait for the ceremony letter.

    About 15 minutes later, the IO came out and asked her to come back in the office. He told her that she needed to use her patronymic name as her middle name. She told him that that is not a middle name but he said that his supervisor said that they are to consider patronymic names as middle names. Her only option was to either wait a month until she could go before the judge for a name change or just accept her patronymic name as her middle name and change her name later. She decided to just accept it and do the ceremony on Friday.

    She then came out and we waited for another hour and half waiting for the ceremony letter. Another officer came out of a back door and called her and 7 other people over and asked for their green cards. He checked the cards then gave them all the letter and gave general directions about notifying of any changes before the oath ceremony.

    Hope that helps others in the Orlando service area. Good luck!

  2. Hey guys... I think we are bringing up the rear. Is anyone else out there still waiting? I can't believe it took this long but finally we received the interview date. If you are in Orlando you have a bit of a wait.

  3. Congrats to all that have made it! I don't know what is wrong with Orlando. Every month I check their processing time and it gets longer. Been waiting since October for an interview date. Looks like we will be lucky to finish by March. Orlando used to be fast enough but for whatever reason it is like they fell way behind.

    Good luck to everyone still waiting!

  4. New update. Received Bio Letter Monday. Went and did EB in Orlando today. They were super nice and said they didn't mind walk-ins. They were not busy at all but I went around 3pm today (Wednesday).

    Hey guys, Please be sure to reply to the very last List. My updates have been erased twice already. I tried to go back and enter all the updates that were lost for others.

    Thanks

  9. That time of year. Quick question, but first some background:

    1. I am the USC and never resided outside the U.S. in 2011.

    2. We married in China in April 2011.

    3. Wife received CR-1 visa Feb. 2, 2012

    4. Wife entered U.S. POE as LPR Mar. 2, 2012

    5. Wife never set foot in U.S. prior to her POE on Mar. 2, 2012.

    6. Wife received SSN card March 17, 2012

    7. I have been studying this issue for many long hours and now my head hurts.

    Question: Can I file Married, Filing Jointly for 2011 and exclude her 2011 foreign income, or must I file Married, Filing Separately because she never set foot in the U.S. during 2011?

    Hint: She doesn't appear to meet the Green Card Test or the Substantial Presence Test for 2011 in pub 519.

    I have read Pub's. 519 and 501 and I'm still confused. Any help will be appreciated.

    hi Dave,

    I just wanted to add, You can file joint or separate and it does not matter if she set foot in the USA. She just has to have an itin or ssn. That said you just are giving permission for the gov to tax her non us income which may or may not be a problem depending on your situation.

    hi Dave,

    I'm not a tax expert but ran into the same issue with my wife. Best bet is to check with a tax expert.

    In my situation, my wife was not in the USA but we were married in her country at the beginning of the previous year. I had 3 options for filing.

    1. Head of household where I could claim an exemption for wife and other family members.

    2. Married filing separate - resulting in lower tax benefit but would not have to report wifes non us income.

    3. Married filing jointly - would have to report and possibly pay tax on wifes income depending on other factors.

    I decided to go the simple route and just file married filing separate. My wife didn't have an ssn so I had to mail in the return with an itin app attached. Of course since your wife has her ssn you can skip that part.

    So you do have a few options but only a tax pro can give the best advice based on your individual situation.

    But just remember if you do elect to treat her as an ra for tax purposes for 2011 you do have to report the worldwide income for you and your wife.

    hope that helps and good luck

  11. no he does not have my social when we started this business together i did not have the green card and social security number .every thing was under his name . what happened that business did not work out we got behind our bills and expenses $20,000 . most of it his fault because he made wrong decision .. we were partners 50 50 profit or loss .. now i am liable to pay $10000 but he wants me to come up with whole $20,000 by the end of this month .. if i dont he threats me to report to USCIS and falsely accuse me for married fraud .. our marriage was 100% real it just did not work out were were married for a year an a half i have got my conditional green card six month ago now i am going to file waiver .. but afraid about his threats ......i dont have the money to pay him .. i can hardly come up with $10000 but not $20000 before the 1st of the month .. i dont know what to do .. i am very worried .. please give me some advice...

    if he has no proof and you have no proof, you can accuse each other until you both are blue but it won't do any good. Don't pay him the 20k. File the for the waiver and hope you get lucky. If you don't then leave and save yourself 20k. If you get the waiver, then see if your contract with him really requires you to pay and if so pay the 10k.

    if you go after him with no evidence it is guaranteed he will report you for spite even with no evidence. Just focus on the waiver and the results of that will let you know where you stand.

  12. it takes way longer. Up to a year. Fiancee visa takes about 4 months. There's no way to get all the certified copies from all 3 states. And again, we didnt meet through the matchmakers! I thought in the instructions it sais only about those who met trough brokers agencies. Am i not right?

    we thought the cr/ir visa would take forever too so we planned for a year long ordeal but in the end it took about 4 months for my wife's ir visa to be approved from the date it was sent to the day she got the visa in hand. We actually could have done it faster because we delayed sending in one of the packets during the process. We did everything ourselves with the help of vj and the great advice here. So if you just cannot get the docs from the clerk of courts where you had the convictions, the cr/ir is not a bad way to go.

    good luck! :thumbs:

  13. That sounds like a good plan! Anything you can do to relax and take your mind off things is good. Before the interview we were pretty nervous. There was really nothing to worry about though. The CO's are nice in Warsaw and the interview lasts for just 5 to 10 minutes if everything is in order... really quick. The longest part will be waiting (2 to 3 hours total for both days)... and you can go before your time... even if you go at 8am there will be people in line before you.

    When you are approved... they will say come back at 3pm for your visa. When you come back at 3pm, don't be shocked if they give you a 221 (g) saying can't issue visa at this time due to requiring further administrative processing. Ours said... we needed proof of education and administrative processing. All it is is the standard background checks they do before visas are issued. Some of them they finish before 3pm and the others they finish by the next day. If that happens to you two, then you'll go back to the embassy at 8am again... give them her passport again... and they will tell you to come back at 3pm again. When you go back the second time, they will have the visa for you.

    Just letting you know so you don't freak out like we did... We were just thinking... what happened? I thought we were approved! But anyway... we wish you two the best of luck!

  14. Awesome! Now things are really going to speed up. Good luck at the interview! :thumbs:

    i assume your interview was in Warsaw too?

    we have all the things ready on the checklist and it seems we need to email the list along with part one of form ds230 and then an interview date will be set.

    when is the medical exam, after we send this info back?

    does she need to send all this stuff along with my I-134 before the interview or take it with her?

    Yeah our interview was in Warsaw. I wrote a review about what happened there. They like to ask for University diplomas for some reason. So if your loved one obtained a degree, make sure she takes her diploma (translated) with her. (Just in case.)

    As far as the medical exam, you can get that at anytime. Just have her call Lode in Minsk. They have a website in english and Russian: http://www.lode.by/english/ She will need to get her shot record from her local doctor to bring with her.

    So make sure she has her Police certificate (translated) and call for the medical exam to get those out of the way. My wife had to go twice for the Medical Exam... first day to do the exam... second day to pick up the results.

    BTW, you'll probably have to stay 2 days in Warsaw... the best hotel there is the Novotel... they have AC and it is a newer building. Don't stay at the MDM.

    Here are some links you may find useful:

    Warsaw Embassy Info (This link explains what to send back to the Embassy from your Packet 3, checklist only. You take everything else with you for the interview.) We were IR-1 so we didn't have to do this.

    Embassy Instruction Packages and forms (Invitation Letter, Med Exam Info, 156, 230, and how they want it assembled.)

    Embassy Appointment Schedule It's great to finally see your number on the list. It will also give you an idea of how many are scheduled for your day.

    Required Documents (Docs they want and info about each)

    One more thing... make sure she gets her Polish Visa ASAP. It takes 2 weeks to get the Polish Visa, so as soon as she has the Invitation letter have her go to the Polish Embassy right away. They will require 200 EUR in travels checks to secure the visa which she will get back.

    Hope that helps... Good Luck!

  15. Yeah, we were surprised it all went so fast too. We went through VSC which is usually the slow one. We almost hired an attorney but we decided to do it ourselves. I think a lot of it was luck... but also my wife is extremely detailed when it comes to documents as that was part of her job dealing with customs there... So between my wife and all the resources in VJ (cover letters, sample forms, common rfes, interview questions, guides) nearly everything went smoothly. Our only problem came at the interview when they asked for her university diploma. I think it was the only thing she didn't bring but they gave her the visa anyway.

    You two will get there... If you ever have any questions, we'd be happy to help.

  16. Its been 6.5 months and still no NOA2! Our case seems like it should have been easy. I make enough $, no criminal record, never married etc....

    My fiance was married before but has been divorced since 1995 and I sent them the divorce certificate with russian translation. She has no criminal record ,we are both of similar age etc... but this damn thing seems to be dragging on forever.

    Is there a problem with Belarus in the eyes of USCIS? :angry:

    No problems with Belarus...

    It was 20 days from our NOA1 to NOA2 and the total time for us was 4 months and 4 days from NOA1 to visa in hand. Hang in there! Everything goes quickly once you get your NOA2.

    Good Luck

  17. Hi. My husband doesn't know what to put on line 23 of I-864 form:

    Troughout 2008, he worked at 3 jobs and earned a decent amount of money (for a student), but got laid off from his last job (Curcuit City btw) at the end of December 2008. Since then, he didn't find job till he got a seasonal job at a waterpark. He only worked there for 2 months and didn't get that many shifts, and then they just took him off the scaduale(without any explanation). He decided to not deal with them and forget about this job, so he ended up earning about $500. Btw, his mother is a joint sponsor.

    1) Line 23 I-864 "My current individual annual income is"- what should he put if he is a student and doesn't have a steady job. He also is not aware how much he is gonna earn in 2009, since he doesn't know if he will find a job... There is still half year left in 2009, andI don't think it's far e to put $500 in "annual income". In the same time, it's not fare to put his last year's income since it's not how much he is gonna make this year. WHAT SHOULD WE ANSWER FOR THIS QUESTION?

    2) Part 22: " Unemployed since.." should he say unemployed since he lost a waterpark job, or should we exclude it since he only worke there for 2 months, and didn't earn much? If we include it, do we need to include paystubs, or is it not nessecary?

    I know this question is very confusing, and I would greatly appriciate every response, thank you

    Hi Inna! You should always tell the truth because eventually you'll have to prove it. If he doesn't have a job and has only made $500 for 2009, then that is all you can put there because that is all you know of at the time you are completing this form. It would look better if he had a job, but since you are using a joint sponsor all that matters is that his mother meets the 125% requirement based on household size. If he does happen to find a job before you have to send in the I-864, then you can adjust the I-864 based on what he will earn, just be prepared to prove it.

    For the unemployed since... you have to put the date he last worked at the water park. Again, it is always best to be truthful. He did work there and did earn money so the last day of his employment there would be the date you should list there. If you start to omit things because you don't think it is important, it looks like there is something you are trying to hide.

    As far as pay stubs or any other evidence, when we did ours we sent in everything we thought they would need because we didn't want to get an RFE. It won't hurt to send in his pay stubs as well as his tax returns for the last 3 years if he has them. That said, his mother's information (pay stubs, tax returns, asset proof) is going to be the deciding factor on whether they meet the financial requirements. So if it were me, I'd send it.

    Good luck!

  18. I've read some topics here that hiring a lawyer is unncessary and sometimes it causes more delays. My wife will hire a lawyer for she is afraid to commit mistakes with the whole process.

    What do you think guys, any words so I can tell her what to do?

    Thank you very much. :whistle:

    I considered hiring a lawyer for the exact same reason. Then we found VJ and read the guide of how the process works. I downloaded all the forms to see how difficult they were. After seeing them and the examples, I realized we could do this ourselves. Afterall an attorney is just going to ask the same questions on the forms and then fill in the blanks. When I had questions on the forms VJ was the first and only place I needed to go. I found all of the answers I needed here.

    The immigration lawyer I spoke to said it would take about 5 months to get my wife here on an IR-1. We completed the whole process ourselves in 4 months and 1 week.

    If you would feel more comfortable hiring a lawyer go for it, but do yourself a favor by looking at the forms and studying the process. You just might feel it is something you can do too.

    IMO I felt like no one would care as much or do the forms as carefully as we would.

  19. Hey

    Some people say it takes 7 months to get the K3/CR1..Other say it takes 14 months?

    I wonder how long it usually takes, so this is my question:

    How long did it take to get the visa?

    [ I know that many users have their timeline as their signature...i do not want to know though how long it took til NOA1/NOA2 et cetera.

    i just wanna know how long it took to get the visa?)

    Thanks :star:

    I agree with what the others said... But knowing time frames does help. We estimated it would take 9 to 10 months from what we read here so we planned that we would be finished by November 2009. Most of the other people at the interview had been waiting for nearly a year or longer...

    Ours:

    IR-1 (Vermont Service Center with interview in Warsaw) - 4 months 1 week from the time uscis got the petition to visa in hand... I believe we could have done it even faster because it took a couple weeks to complete the I-864 & DS-230 so we missed the June appointment list and had to wait another few weeks for a July interview. If you follow the guides you'll have the best chance at speeding through the process.

    btw... we looked at k3 vs. cr/ir-1 and decided cr/ir-1 was hands down the only way to go...

  20. First, we want to say thank you to VJ and all the members that have made VJ such a useful resource for guiding those of us with loved ones immigrating to the USA.

    When we started our journey, we seriously considered hiring a lawyer because this was one of the most important steps in bringing our family together again. I called a couple lawyers and was about to pay $2000 to get started when my wife found VJ. I started reading the forums and looking at the documents we would have to complete and realized we could do this.

    We started gathering information and working on the forms in January 2009 submitting them in February 2009. We planned that it would take us until November 2009 to finish the process. We didn’t rush because our goal was doing everything right, double checking, triple checking, quadruple checking everything. We caught several mistakes we made ourselves using VJ guides (LingChe, IR1/CR1, DS-230, I-130, sample forms, cover letters) and reading the common RFE’s topics. Then we put everything in the recommended order VJ guides suggested.

    The end result was processing and approval quicker than we had planned or dreamt possible. We received our interview date for July 1, 2009.

    The time up to the interview was nerve-racking. We prepared by taking the list of interview questions and answering them so she could study. We printed more photos, more emails, more paystubs then made sure we had copies of everything they should have already received. I also prepared 3 more I-864’s with additional co-sponsors and assets just in case.

    My wife prepared a bag with everything we thought we would need including our son’s US passport and CRBA. Unfortunately a few days before the interview, I was injured in car accident. I still wanted to go, but my wife was absolutely against it. She also did not want to postpone the interview either. Because of all of our preparation she was very confident that she could do it and we would be talking by cell phone before and after.

    My wife is from Belarus, but the interview was held at the US Embassy in Warsaw. She had to get a Polish visa to attend. (If you are required to get a Polish visa, make sure to do it as soon as possible. It took 2 weeks to get the Polish visa. We had to use the interview date letter from the NVC because the embassy did not send the invitation letter until 2 weeks after they received our file which would have made it nearly impossible to get the Polish visa in time.)

    One of the great things was that my wife met a lady and a guy on the train that were going to their interviews that day. They spoke and decided to join together during the day to make things easier. After they arrived they walked to each other’s hotels to get each of them settled and then headed to the Embassy together.

    They arrived at the US Embassy in Warsaw at about 7:50am. Her appointment wasn’t scheduled until 9:30am, but they let them all in with no problems. There were 10 people in front of her. (They see the people that are returning from the day before first.) She was called up by a staff member that took her Passport and Medical Exam. The lady was nice and asked several questions but instead of my wife answering, she answered for her. Went something like this:

    Staff: I guess you are married… Sure you are married!

    Staff: I guess you have a baby… Yeah you have one!

    Staff: I am sure you were not in prison… Yeah you were not in prison!

    Staff: Ok… take your number and wait.

    My wife didn’t really say anything, just smiled, took a number and sat down. Sometime later she went up and gave her fingerprints and then sat down again. She didn’t have to pay the fee because we had paid the fee directly to the NVC.

    During her wait she heard several other interviews. There is no privacy there since everything happens in one room.

    One lady that traveled with her went first and her CR-1 interview was easy. They had told her before she needed her university diploma. She brought it and gave it to the CO. (She had the female CO who was nice and laughed a lot with her.) The CO then told her to come back at 3pm to get her visa.

    Another woman was missing documents and was asked to come back with them.

    Then my wife and the guy that traveled with the trio saw the CO looking at a file with lots of papers and a Belarusian passport. My wife thought it was her and was nervous because the CO looked concerned and was walking around talking to the other CO’s and checking things. Then the guy saw his pictures and knew it was his file. He got up and was very nervous now… pacing back and forth and then he was called up. He was speaking with the CO for at least an hour. The CO asked him many questions about what he did in the USA and where he works. His interview was much more difficult. The CO told him that when he left the USA the last time something happened with his I-94 and it showed that he overstayed 1 year. The CO told him that he was going to put him in AP and should go home. The CO said they will call him when they get more information. This guy was angry and upset because he had proof that he left on time.

    The wait was the longest part of the process. She waited about an hour before her number came up again. There were 3 CO’s working, 2 guys and 1 lady. My wife went to speak with one of the guy CO’s. He had all of our documents from the NVC so she didn’t have to give them anything else.

    The interview:

    Wife: Good morning!

    CO: Good morning!

    At this point she had to swear to tell the truth and then told the CO she could speak English and answer his questions in English during the interview. The CO was looking at papers, looking at his computer and typing while he was talking with himself.

    CO: Oh, you married more than 2 years… Good…

    CO: You have a son. Where is he?

    Wife: In *****, Belarus with his grandmother right now .

    CO: Oh good.. You have so many photos here.

    Wife: I have more!

    CO: Really?

    Wife: Do you want to see them?

    CO: Oh maybe just the recent ones…

    My wife showed him the ones with her and our son and said… Look how big our son is now!

    CO: Do you want all of these photos back?

    Wife: Sure…

    Then the CO gave back the photos and kept typing. Now he was just typing without talking anymore.

    CO: Ok, you can come get your visa at 3pm today.

    Wife: Today?

    CO: Yes, if you didn’t lie.

    Wife: I didn’t. Thank you!

    Then she left.

    My wife called me right away because she was very happy. She asked me if she should cancel the hotel room and change the train ticket to return that evening after she picked up the visa. I told her that we would have to pay for the hotel no matter what due to the hotel cancellation policy. We decided it was better for her to stay and relax.

    My wife then went back to the hotel to relax a bit before having to return at 3pm.

    At 3pm she went back to get her visa. Her lady friend was first and they had her visa ready for her. She was very happy as she had been doing this for over a year. My wife went up to the window and the lady there looked through her stack but didn’t find her stuff. Then she said that they weren’t finished with the security checks yet and they gave her back her passport with a paper. Then the lady told her to come back tomorrow between 8 to 10am. My wife read the paper and it was a 221(g) saying that they couldn’t issue the visa because they needed more documentation. It then listed:

    - proof of education

    - administrative processing

    After she read the paper she was crushed. She couldn’t understand why they were asking for this. The CO said she was approved and never asked about her education. She called me right away and told me what happened and I tried to reassure her that the administrative processing was probably just the security checks they were doing. I told her I was not sure why they were asking about her diploma. I did encourage her to translate and get her degree certified with an apostille a few months ago so she did have it, but we didn’t think to bring it. I thought it was strange that they asked her to go back between 8 and 10 am if she needed her proof of education. She couldn’t just go home and get it because her Polish visa was only good for that trip. We talked about different things we could do, but decided it was just best to go back the next day at 8am and see what happens. We thought worst case she would just have to go back with her diploma.

    My wife went back to the hotel and decided it was better if she walked around the city for awhile. She sent a sms to her friends and they met at the Hypermarket. They talked about what happened and walked around. My wife told the guy that he should go to the embassy with her tomorrow. He told her he didn’t want to because they told him that they would call him. She said it was his chance to prove it and get his visa and he shouldn’t leave. She asked him if he had more proof that he left on time and he said yes so she convinced him that he should get it and go to the embassy. So he decided to give it a try and called his sister to have the proof emailed to the hotel so he could print it.

    My wife went back to her hotel and we talked. I tried to cheer her up and told her it would all be okay. I told her to stay positive and everything would be great.

    She still couldn’t sleep very well… partly because of the tram that was close to the hotel (MDM is not the best hotel. Novetel is much better and newer for about the same price.) She arrived around 8am and went inside. She gave the lady her passport and asked about her visa and she checked. She then said the security checks were done and everything came back ok. She then told her to come back at 3pm again to pick up her visa. Déjà vu! This other guy went too and spoke with the CO. After speaking with the CO again he finally told him to come back at 3pm.

    My wife met up with her friend again after the interview and they decided they would go back at 3pm together. When they went back my wife went up first and they handed her back her passport with the visa and the packet. She was so happy and I think was never so relieved that it was finally over. She waited to see what would happen with the guy and his CR-1… He went to the window and they had issued his visa too! He was surprised and extremely happy. He thanked my wife for making him go back and decided that he would carry her bags for her from the embassy to the train to show his gratitude.

    I had no idea what had happened because we had spent so much money on phone calls she had a negative balance of $50 on her phone so we couldn’t call each other anymore. I was so nervous and was so anxious for her return… she had told me when the train would arrive. I thought if she comes online she got the visa… but the time for the train had passed and she wasn’t there… Some 30 minutes later when I thought all hope was lost… there she was and she said I GOT IT!!!

    She told me when it was all over and she had the visa she was crying because of the up and down emotions and stress you have to go through to be with your family.

    So To sum it up…

    -The whole process took 2.5 hours (mostly waiting).

    -The CO interview was less than 5 minutes.

    -The questions were easy. The CO didn’t ask for any more proof of relationship or finances, but she showed some more photos anyway.

    -If you interview at the embassy in Warsaw, they could ask for proof of education so if you have it, take it. We didn’t need it at the end, but if she would have brought it, she wouldn’t have been so stressed.

    -If you get a 221(g) with administrative processing checked in Warsaw, don’t worry if they tell you to come back at 8am the next morning, it is probably just the regular security checks they do overnight.

    -If you have a situation like the guy had, don’t give up. If you can get more proof or documents, go back and at least talk to them. The first no isn’t always definitive. All that can happen is that they tell you no again… but just maybe you’ll get a yes like he did.

    Thanks again to VJ and all its members for helping reunite families…

    Good Luck!
