Congratsss!! It's the best "failure" ever isn't it!!

Yes it is, I have never been so happy to see something fail, hahahhahahaha. Thank you all.

We got the Sign In Failed..... "Please be advised that the case that you attempted to access is not eligible for further processing by the National Visa Center at this time. Please click on the Contact the NVC hyperlink if you believe that you have received this message in error." Woooohhooooooooo

I want to thank everyone at Visajourney for your great help, and also wish everybody else the best of luck with your journeys. Now to wait for the interview.

Thank you all.

Congratulations!!

It's a Signature - you update from your profile. So my documents were also received on the 30th. Here's hoping for both of us ...

Thanks for the tip Deb+Steve.

The AVR message for our case says "NVC has received your documents of March 30th, 2010", so hopefully we get our case completed in April. Also if somebody can tell me how to display my timeline when I post something, I see everyone posts their timeline and they all have different ones. Good luck to all

Take the CR1 route, its cheaper and does not take too long.

My husband didn't have any of those documents legalized by relaciones exteriores. He just brought them to the interview like the instructions said. I don't think that they've changed it since 2008, but you can always call the embassy and doublecheck with them.

When my husband went to get his birth certificate in Lima, the lady there told him he had to have it certified by RENIEC - which is totally not true, you only have to do that if you WERENT born in Lima - so I wouldn't trust 100% what these people say, they're not US immigration experts, they're clerks that work for the Peruvian gov't.

Thanks so much, I will tell my wife not to worry about legalizing the documents. You are right, sometimes these people that work as clerks give you false information.

Thank you once again.

Good afternoon,

Can somebody please tell us if "Certificado Antecedentes Policiales, Certificado Judicial de Antecedentes Penales and Certificado de Antecedentes Judiciales a nivel nacional", need to be legalized by "Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores". We have read the requirements for Peru Reciprocity Schedule, and does not mention anything, but today when my wife went to get them done they told her that she had to do it. I also have seen from a previous forum topic that only the Antecedentes Penales had to be done. So we are confused and we do not know if we should do for all or the U.S does not require it. Please if somebody help, it would be very appreciated.

Thank you/

We are so happy, today we received a notice from the UCIS website stating that our I130 petition has been approved. I don't know if that means that we have received our NOA2. So now we have to wait and see what's next. Good luck to everyone.

My husband dropped his 2nd last name when he came to the states. It was on his visa though & his passport. We did the name change paperwork when we got married but I think you can do it at any time. We went to the local town hall to do this. Then, when we filed his AOS paperwork, we just omitted the 2nd last name so his greencard just says his first, middle & last name.

We also did the social security card application just with his first last name. It shouldn't be a problem once you get here, she can take care of it.

Good luck!

Thank you so much for clearing that up, we now feel better that there are ways of correcting that problem of having three last names. And like estrellademiel said, my wife thinks its crazy too, that she has now three last names. lol

Good afternoon,

We have a concern in regards to filling out the form DS-230, my wife is from Peru and for some reason when a woman gets married in Peru she does not take the husband's last name. When she went to change her status in her DNI, DNI is the Peruvian identification, they only added my last name to her full name. So now her name is like: Angela Teresa Smith Johnson James.

Now we are aware that when she gets her Peruvian Passport for the first time they are going to put the name that appears on her DNI. We are also informed that when she is issued her CR1 Visa, US Embassy is going to issue the Green Card with the name that appears on her Peruvian Passport. Our concern is how do we correct this, we do not want her Green Card with three last names, I mean it sounds ridiculous, I don't know if there is any other country that does this nonsense. Does she have a choice of correcting her name or will she be asked how she wants her name to appear on her Green Card. If someone can give us any advice on how to solve this issue, do we fill out maybe the DS-230 form with my last name as her Family Name, but then when we send her Peruvian Passport copy it will show up differently. Please help

Thank you,

Thank you so much Mark, I'm happy to have this cleared up now.

Hello everyone,

I have a question regarding the form DS-230, I'm confused whether I should put my wife's last name or whether to put my last name as her Family Name and then where it asks for Other Names used put her maiden name. The I-130 application was filled out with her last name, the reason for this is that in Peru there is no name change for marriage. My spouse is going to get her passport for the first time, for what I'm informed NVC gives you the visa according to what name it states on the passport. But lets say that in Peru they don't want to change her last name in her passport, and she stays with her maiden name, can I still fill out the DS-230 with my last name as Family Name or should I go by what's printed on the passport. Our biggest concern is that we both want her visa to be issued with my last name, this way her green card also has her married name, this way we don't need to be doing any changes afterwards. So basically on her I-130 applicaiton she has her maiden name, on her DS-230 I would be putting my last name as Family Name, and hoping that her Peruvian passport they change her last name to her married name. I hope somebody can help me on this issue, and I hope I was clear enough. Thank you in advance.

USC just stands for US Citizen

LOL,,, thank you for clearing it up for me.

You are WAY ahead of yourself!

When you recieve your Notice of Action 2 (typically the petition approval) from USCIS the petition will be sent to NVC. Then your wife will submit the DS-3032 which will nominate (typically) the USC as the 'agent' to receive the documents in the future. This does not have to be 'received in the mail', it can be downloaded from links from this webiste. Your WIFE, (I think she's the beneficiary) will complete and sign the DS-230 and send it to NVC when the payment has been made.

Take a look at the guides, the example forms, and the NVC short cuts (specifically the Ling Che shortcuts) to help you with NVC.

Good luck.

Pardon my ignorance, but what exactly is "USC"?

Hello everyone,

First of all Happy New Year to everyone.

We just sent out our I-130 package on the 29th of december, 2009, and now reading through the NVC Process Flowchart for CR-1/IR-1, it states that the petitioner and the beneficiary both receive the DS-3032. So that means we both would be getting the DS-3032 in the mail to be completed and to be sent back to them? My wife would be choosing me as her choice of agent, so that would mean I would receive the DS-230 form to be filled out and signed by me? Please if anybody can clear up that confusion it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

I sent my I-130 package on Dec 29th and the Chicago office received my package today Dec31st.

Duplicate thread of this topic removed. It is only necessary to post a topic once .

Sorry about that, my internet was giving me "page cannot be displayed", and i thought my first post did not go through. Well we have decided that we are going to take the CR1 route. One question I have now is on the g-325a Form where it says "This form is submitted in connection with an application for:" what should I put. Sorry for being so slow in knowing what to put, is just I do not want to make any mistakes. Thank you

Question 22 is a 2 part question, if your spouse is not in the US then beside that you'll list the consulate she'll interview in.

Submitted in conncection with: I-130

The signature needs to be original. She can fill it out, sign it, and send it to you. then you can date it yourself if you like.

You can send your marriage licence, pictures of the wedding, and wedding invitation if you like, plus any passport stamps, bording passes, etc that you might have.

Good luck

Welcome to VJ - read the guides and the example forms listed at the top of this page for help

Thank you so much for your feedback, Only other concern still is with route to take K3 or CR1?

Hello,

I am very confused at this moment because I don't know which road to take for my spouse to get to the US. I have filled out the I-130, and as I am informed the I-130 is the intial form that we must fill out. There is also a few things that I am not to sure about on how to answer them or what documentation I need to provide to fulfill those requirements. In question 22 on the I-130, it asks if my spouse is currently in the US and if she will be applying for adjustment of status. Right now my spouse is in Peru and she has never been here in the US before. Second question is in the g-325a form at the bottom it asks if the form is submitted in connection with an application for: I don't know what to put in that section since I don't know if we should go for the K3 or CR1. And also my spouse needs to send me that form filled out as well with her signature and date. Right now she is in Peru, so she would need to print it out four times and sign it and put the date she signed it or she can leave the date blank and send those forms out to me since it problably take at leat a week or two to get to me and then I would fill in the date? Or should I just tell her to print one copy sign it and date it and when I receive the form I would just make copies of it. The last question that I have is regarding the evidence of a bonafied marriage. We just got married on November 27th, 2009, so we don't have and documentation of properties, or lease of common residence etc. Basically we don't have any of the first 5 acceptable examples. So what proofs do I send the package with? Can I send the wedding invitation, photos, lates phone bill, airline tickets of all the times I travelled to Peru? Please if somebody can help us it would be really appreciated, I would like to send my applicaiton as soon as possible to avoid beign away from my spouse any longer. Thank you for your time.

How woudl that work the K-1 (fiancee) Visa, will I have to file that here before I go to Peru and wait. How long will that take for her to come to the US for us to get married.

The entire K-1 Visa process (paperwork wise) is done in the US. You send in the application, wait a number of months until they notify you of its approval and then from there they forward your paperwork to the embassy in Peru and from there your fiancee would do the rest from there. There are a number of requirements, so really check out the guides & I have been through the whole process so if you have any specific Peru-related questions or any concerns just PM me.

Thank you. I have to wait first for her to be divorced for me to start the paperwork.

Thank you so much for your quicke response. Yes I will read further on CR1 Visa to have more information. As far as my girlfriend she does not live with her husband at this time because he is right now in Israel and he has been there for the past year and half. I hope we have luck and that we can be together here in the US as soon as possible. Thank you once again for helping me out.
