I got an email for interview date of my wife and I just want some feedback from those who had cr1 interview if they were ask to re-submit the AOS I-864 because in the email from NVC it says that they already have it.I called NVC regarding this and the lady said that my wife does not have to bring AOS I-864 in the interview.I double checked NVC interview checklist for documents needed on their email and AOS I864 is not one of them.In my opinion, if they do not have the AOS, NVC can not complete the case and schedule an interview.I hope that we can get some clear feedback regarding this topic so we can also help others in preparing just the needed documents.This journey can be very confusing because of some complications in each case,but maybe we can also find clear answers on cases that has no problem at all.Please advice.

How long ago did you submit the original I864? If it was before the 2008 tax return filing date they MAY ask to see a new one with that years tax return copies or transcripts. Although since you already called and they told you it wasnt necessary it might be better to be safe than sorry and take a copy or a new version. Just my opinion tho

i did the 2008 returns

Just curious who gonna send the I-864..is it the petioner? or submitted by petioner but during the interview to the relative abroad they still want to see a copy of it.

I believe that every has own opinions we are having lawyer and this firm is doing well job for us but you are then one who will made decision.

Thanks !!!

I wasted $1000 non refundable.....before i paid it they said (no problem your wife is ok to stay on her tourist visa for you 2 are married) after i pay they said ( your wife need to return to her country to file K3 or CR1) and how much it cost $2300.00 take it or leave it...goodbye to my $1000. The reason why i dont want to have an additional fee i have so much idea by searching online about my case than them.

Based on my experienced. (My advise stay away from immigration lawyer).

I had my sister, my aunt who attended the wedding, and two of my cousins write the affidavits.

I grew up with my cousins, went to school together, even took same college classes...I am close with the youngest of my aunts, and of course I am very close to my sister...so they wrote that since they have known me so long they believe they are a good judge of my character, and from all details they know about our relationship they conclude that our relationship is genuine and our marriage is bona fide.

They included information when they met my husband what they thought of our interaction, bla bla bla

They provided their passport numbers, and wrote in the affidavit that they declare under the penalty of perjury that our marriage is bona fide. Signed, dated, notarized.

Hope this helps you

Our friends just write a letter, and give there telephone number and address is this gonna work?

yes but make sure to send original to nvc.

u also need one from philippines too

good luck

Hello Everyone,, I received an RFE noticed from NVC regarding the form I-864 AFFIDAVIT OF SUPPORT. If any petitioner out there that are petitioning your spouse along with his/her kids. MAKE SURE TO DO AN INDIVIDUAL FORM I-864 FOR EACH KIDS. Meaning they are also the PRINCIPAL IMMIGRANT ON PART 2. Along with the form and other documents, like tax return, pay stubs and so on,,,ALSO SUBMIT an AFFIDAVIT OF CUSTODIANSHIP OR CUSTODY PAPERS AND A WRITTEN CONSENT FOR EACH CHILD TO MIGRATE TO THE US. This was the reason why i received an RFE,,,So HEADS UP EVERYONE...Just a reminder for you petitioners out there that didn't know this information... Good Luck and safe journey ahead..

Hi thanks for this information..i am on the same process as you have but still gathering some idea and more information to make sure, later i will be the one to post a help in here for other VJs members. Ok so every kids has their own copy that listed on the CR1 guidelines ...in my understanding affidavit of custodianship custody papers and written consent for each child is from the petitioner, am i right?

Yes each kids will have their own I-864 copy THE PRINCIPAL IMMIGRANT..with the AFFIDAVIT OF CUSTODIANSHIP,,it can be you or your spouse, whose ever has the custody of the child/children and the written consent is from the other parent stating that it's ok for the child/children to migrate to the US..****this is for parents that have a child/children from previous marriage or relationship*****

One note, interview should happen in country of "Residence" Canada, so the consulate that will do it will be in Montreal.

Her two 12 and 10 years old kids are back in her country is anyone knows the procedure of their processing? away from their mom for their mom is Toronto. I understand they are on a CR-2. Thanks

You file an I-130 for each person immigrating, so 3 I-130's

Better to specify interview will happen in her home country where the children are.

File ALL three petitions together.

For wife's I-130 follow this guide: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...page=i130guide1

Each child's I-130 need a copy of marriage cert, and copy of the child's birth cert.

Thanks Yuand Dan...you really are a good adviser..thanks a lot

So if she gonna file her IR/CR1 in her country each I-130 is seperates with the corresponding check on each form and put together in one envelope? together with all requirements that is on the CR1 guidelines and no need the birth certificate of each child?

Is it every child petition seperated envelope?

sorry to hear that, but the sooner you send it off, you might still make it for a sooner interview!

I will be sending it by next week...Thanks

that sucks.. take care of it as soon as you can.. you will be with your family soon.

Yeah not a good thing, but have to move on from here. Sending the missing documents next week..Take Care n God Bless

Is that mean I-864 send individually like one for the mom and one for each kids?

Thanks. So I can still send the papers to USCIS , even if my wife is "out of status" ? I am going to try to get the papers together and send them out ASAP, but I don't think I'll get the NOA in my hands before June 15

Correct (that is - if you are an USC).

We got the same problem, my wife came on a tourist visa like what you said of no intention of getting married, before her 1_94 expired we got an advice from the lawyer that she can adjust her status...but later on, the problem came where she got her I-94 expired the lawyer said its very risky to file an AOS for a tourist visa and it might be the cause of deportation(lawyers fee) is non refundable...so i let her out of the country to file K3 or IR/CR1 i dont have to worry AOS that we might pass the interview or not...but the choice is still yours. You better decide while she still have left on her I-94 status ....for in your problem you know each other for 2 years that might give the immigration a hint that your wife has an intention to get married on her toursit visa.

Firstly, CR-1 REQUIRES a US citizen/spouse to file the I-130 Petition to USCIS and foreign citizen becomes the beneficiary.

Second, US citizen/spouse may file the I-130 directly to the consulate only if they have been resident in Canada for at least 6 months.

Thanks Yuand Dan,

Here's the thing my wife been working in Toronto from Aug. 2007 to August 2008 she came to US as a tourist visa and i marry her...since it's risky to adjust her status from her tourist visa she needs to go out before 180 days of her over stay so since she still have her working visa and working permit in Toronto she decided to go back to work and apply her CR1 visa do you think we did a good move? This immigration thing is a headache...

Hi VJ friends,

After over staying of I-194 from Dec. 28, 2008 my wife is out in USA she's back to Toronto, she is not a Canadian citizen but she still have her working visa in Toronto and her working permit is still good she wants to stay in Canada and work instead of going back to her country ..here is my question is she can apply a CR1 visa in Toronto even she is not a canadian citizen? I know there are a lot of smart people about immigration thing in here so im hoping i can have my curiosity answered about this matter..thanks!

I got an email for interview date of my wife and I just want some feedback from those who had cr1 interview if they were ask to re-submit the AOS I-864 because in the email from NVC it says that they already have it.I called NVC regarding this and the lady said that my wife does not have to bring AOS I-864 in the interview.I double checked NVC interview checklist for documents needed on their email and AOS I864 is not one of them.In my opinion, if they do not have the AOS, NVC can not complete the case and schedule an interview.I hope that we can get some clear feedback regarding this topic so we can also help others in preparing just the needed documents.This journey can be very confusing because of some complications in each case,but maybe we can also find clear answers on cases that has no problem at all.Please advice.

why do you think they will ask for resubmission of AOS?

Hi atk_721 im just curious how much did it cost to you the CR1 visa? i just want to compare the cost of k3 and cr1 or adjusting inside US.

You are cutting it close! An overstay of 180 days results in a 3 year bar. Needs to be out of the USA by June 26 to avoid overstay penalty.

OR stay and adjust status.

NOTE: overstays add up, so if she had an overstay before, this may put her over.

Yes you can dile for the children CR-2 however this is NOT a derivative, you need to file THREE I-130's one for mother and one each for your step children.

Is her over stay can affect the processing? Is she still have penalty for that?

how much it cost for everything in CR1 visa?

Hi guys,

I just have a question i am going to send the I-130 package and I-864 package for adjustment of status how much check do i have to sent to the immigration is it 1,010 for I-130 and 1010.00 for the I-864 am i correct for im going to sent the package all together for my wife came here as a tourist visa and we get married last year but didn't just have to adjust her status now for i am learning what to do first...i am just confused about the check amount....is anybody can help me?

For the I-130 the fee is =$ 355

I hope you meant I-485 instead of I-864.. otherwise you are sending the wrong form...

The fee for I-485 is = $1010

Make sure you send this forms with your I-485--->I-694, G-325,I-864

These two forms are free when you file for I-485

Work permit I-765 and travel permit I-131 Make sure you get these two so she can work and go home while everything is in process... if she leaves before she's a resident everything will be canceled. i hope this helped

what happend if she will denied of her aos from tourist is she can go back home and file for k3 or cr1 instead....is anyone got any idea?

thats what the lawyer said she have to wait her citizenship before we can get them...the lawyer said i cannot petition her child for they are not my direct relative...so this makes me confused.....where can i get the waiver anyway?

time to get a new lawyer.... USC CAN petition for stepchildren.... if they were became your stepchild before they were 18

Correct! That is why I asked the age of the children. (looks like he is in that range)

how the CR1 to be process is anyone know what the requirements are?

above can answer your questions (to the OP)

But since she is here now - you can AOS while in the states, however, without knowing the situation with the kids back home (who has them, Dad? relatives? custody?), that may be a complication.

So a new lawyer should be consulted.

Her kids lives with her parents..she is not married with their dad..and she got a certificate of no record marriage from their statstics office.

Is anyone got a case as mine...my wife came for a tourist visa but not intention to get married and we can prove that..i just spoke to my lawyer and he asked me 2 options which is one if i want to adjust my wife kids with her or later...but here's the thing if she wants to seperate their AOS we need to wait for few years like until my wife can have her citizenship...if we want to adjust the kids with her she needs to go back to her country and interview with them for their adjustment of status....i dont know this part..i didnt read some thread like this case in VJ so if anyone out there who got the same experience as we have....just give me an idea....if my wife adjust her status with her kids then she have to go back to her country...her I-94 is already expired...i am thinking it's a bit risky....is anyone can give me an advice... i appreciate any help i know a lot in here who got experience in immigration thing. I just sent an email to our lawyer about her I-94 i cant wait the aswer...so i might get a quick answer in this forum...thanks

Your wife does not go back to her country and adjust status as you cannot adjust your status in a foreign country (you need to be present in the USA to have status)... she would go back to get a VISA with her kids...

If the step parent stepchild relationship was created between you and the kids before the age of 18 YOU can petition for the kids right now... otherwise your wife will need to after she is a citizen
