We are almost finished with NVC (hopefully) and want to know once the case is complete and forwarded to the embassy - can we schedule the interview with Consul or must we wait for NVC to do it..??? I feel I could get a faster interview date if I were to do it and not NVC.. (Did it before with Tourist visa)

Also, what time of the month does NVC schedule interview appointments with Bogota? I have read 2nd week of the month but have seen other people say got their interview at other times.... Thanks to all

you have no authority to make your own interview with usa embassy

when your case is complete in nvc then you wait 15 to 20 days after 15 to 20 days nvc make appointment and send your document to your home usa embassy and then us embassy send beneficiary to check list about appoint interview and medical for example if embassy send you check list which date is 2 may 2010 then your interview date is june 7 2010 or july 15 its near about june or july

Our I-130 has been approved!!!!!! We were talking on skype together when my sweetheart screamed out that we were approved after reviewing our case on the USCIS.gov. We both have smiles that will never go away... amazing!!!! WOOOHOOOOOOO

great news congratulation for your noa2 iam also wating for my noa2 my noa1 is 21 oct 2009 please pray for me the waiting peroid is so hard

Or Case agent or Case officer or whatever you want to call them...

hi rabriz please bear in mind when you call nvc always ask first operator please connect immigration officer or i want to talk only immigration officer because nvc and uscis hire a contractor and contractor have a less knowledge and they dont know about immigration policy and even they dont know how to operate immigration file on computer remember first operator always give you a wrong imformation and mislead you and they dont know about immigration rules and regulation very well . and iam request the authority of uscis and NVC your contractor immigration officer need a training please take a proper training session of your contractor immigration officer. iam requesting because i have a reliable confirm imformation about uscis and nvc immigration officer saw and read our visa journey email with daily basic . and your question about pcc please send your pcc with DS230 form with your all original document

Hi! guys,

My major concern is regarding the unexpected questions by consular officer in visa interview.

We have big age gap, I am 62, she is 32.

This was my reluctant priest marriage 2 years ago when I was doing a series of pilgrim tour in India.

Apparently, due to this breaching the bachelor vow for whole life, I had lost priesthood, prestige and was disrobed. I had met her by my unknown destiny without slightest expectation 5 years ago in Nepal. And I have been dragged into this like a sort of drama because of true love mingled with mental agony and inner torment.

How can she really convince the consular officer in Kathmandu in the visa interview set on middle of June?

She is very naive, sometimes illogical and illiterate in English spellings as a farm grown Himalayan, pure girl and have a limited English-speaking communication skill with native speakers.

I assume they might doubt about the true marriage because of big age difference.

Of course, she has all the photos of dating relationship and marriage ceremony. And have some e-mail communication copies between us for years.

In this a little abnormal situation, what is the best solution for me to prepare before her tough visa interview?

Do you think it is good idea for me to write down a convincing letter in more details about our true love-marriage, either about the big age gap to American Consular Officer in Kathmandu in Nepal?

Your help and assistance will be very much appreciated, suppose you had similar experience like my case before.

Cordially,

hi lorrainhans at the time of your wife interview in her home country usa embassy have a option of launguage embassy officer always ask to a interview person he or she which launguage is suitable for you or whch launguage do you want to give interview as you told your wife know a limited english she have a option to choose in her own country launguage . send a email time line to her home country usa embassy about your relationship for example how you meet when you meet your marriage place mention your visit her home country date and year and your place of visit like cinema seaside restaurant mention your restaurant bill date and your email communication date and remember only only mention your time line not your love story and this time line is only send benificeary email id only and your question about age gap if you have a lot of evidence and proof of your true relationship counsular officer have no problem to approve your wife visa but is completely up to your wife hand how she convience her true relationship to counsular officer

Sorry everyone, I know there's been several posts on this question, but when I'm actually looking for the answer, I can't find those posts. And the ones I did find didn't give me a definitive answer.

In the VJ timelines there are spots for date sent and NOA1. I sent my I-130 on March 2nd, it was received on March 8th, and my check was cashed on March 15th. So, is my NOA1 date March 8th or March 15th?

Thanks for any and all help!

hi jess&daniel your 8 MARCH DATE IS ONLY RECIEVING DATE WHEN USCIS IMMIGIRATION OFFICER RECIEVED YOUR I-130 PARCEL . SO AT THAT TIME WHEN YOU RECIEVED YOUR NOA1 WITH USCIS THIS DATE IS CALLING YOUR NOA1 DATE IF YOU RECIEVED YOUR NOA1 RECIEPT THIS RECIEPT IS CALLING LEGALLY OFFICIALLY DATE PLEASE TELL ME YOU RECIEVED YOUR NOA1 OR NOT

Alright, that's an question that I should not have to ask, but here it is:

Do the proof-of-relationships-papers*documents (letters etc) for the I130 have to be originals or are copies enough?

Thanks..

hi junefirst for the I-130 PACKET ALL THE SUPPORTING DOCUMENT COPIES IS enough.

original is only for that time when your I-130 is finally approved then you send DS230 FORM WITH ORIGINAL DOCUMENT IS ONLY FOR THAT TIME

Hello everyone,

I am new at this site, I just file I 130 for my husband in Morocco, and I just found out i left some questions blank on I129 like not writing our names in native Alphabet in both forms also the last question. do you think i should send another package or just wait for an REF? Please advise..

Thanks

hi newatthis some time uscis immigration officer ignore this type of small only name mistake unfill question they dont give value these type of question and i think they dont send you any RFE USCIS OFFICER only send RFE IF YOU HAVE A LACK OF PROVE LIKE SUPPORTING DOCUMENT FOR EXAMPLE IF USCIS OFFICER THOUGHT THAT YOUR EVIDENCE AND PROOF IS NOT TO MUCH TO PROVE YOUR RELATIONSHIP in that case uscis immigration officer send you RFE and ask you more proof which prove your relationship and your case is fine

Thanx everyone for the prayers u all done for me i appreciate and i pray that everyone in AP will receive visa and armani khan brother i hope ur AP will finish next month.

Starlight95 i also received an email from the embassy saying that please wait and applicant will receive call or call letter from our office soon and the next day when we called them they said that visa has been delivered to my city. and today on 30 April i received call from Amex to pick up passport with visa and brown envelop.

hi wellmux who says there is a dark every dark have a lights you are a very very brave guys who wait with patience so many many congratulation what a great news so good luck

I would agree with canadian_wife with respect to making any changes...they can be made when submitting the DS-230 to NVC. I would not suggest calling USCIS to request a RFE, why ask for trouble? If they have any problems they will not hesitate to let you know. But IMO it will be fine

hi obx i think this is not inviting any trouble if op dont inform uscis immigration officer this small mistake invite and create big trouble let supose for example at the time of op cr1 interview immigration officer ask op why you dont mention and fill your last 5 year work history starting with present and you fill and put in your G325A form none and op say to consular officer i think abroad mean out side my country citizenship (india)as i have already mentioned all occupation with in usa in last 5 year occupation so i thought i should not put any thing in last occupation abroad and i thought i put on DS-230 FORM later and consular officer say to op but DS-230 FORM is only talking about last 10 year occupation only and op say to consular officer . and if op say to consular officer at that time iam not aware of DS230 last 10 year point difference when i ask and talk about other persons every body say there is a huge difference G325A FORM AND DS-230 FORM ABOUT OCCUPATION when i know and understand that difference its to late my I-130 PARCEl ALREADY DELIVER TO USCIS and i have no option available and consular officer say to op if you know and understand that difference why you dont call uscis and inform usics immigration officer and note down your mistake about G325A FORM AND if that point op not given a satisfy answer to consular officer. counsular officer doubtful about op and he think op is trying to mis lead us and consular officer thought there is a problem about op previous occupation background and this type of situtation create and invite big problem .

In DS-230 it simply asks to provide LAST TEN YEARS work history. That's a bit different case, I have to mention whether worked in usa or india.

But here they are asking clearly that 'LAST OCCUPATION ABROAD IF NOT MENTIONED ABOVE'. And on the above it's asking for 'LAST 5 YEARS WORK HISTORY STARTING WITH PRESENT FIRST'. That means within last 5 years if you have worked ABROAD and if you haven't mentioned in 'LAST 5 YEARS WORK HISTORY' than mention it in 'LAST OCCUPATION ABROAD'.

I think I am ok here. But THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR REPLY. THAT HELPS.

hi kurz_patz this is not a big issue i agree with canadian wife and obx that you can correct on ds230 form later or if you have any doubt or you dont agree with us so you have a another option available call uscis talk to uscis immigration officer and request his i have done mistake in G-325A form so please send me RFE REQUEST OF EVIDENCE ABOUT G325A FORM AND I THINK IMMIGRATION OFFICER HAVE NO PROBLEM TO SEND YOU A RFE GOOD DAY

hi

mustafa bhai can u please tell me it is possible that me and my wife both can go for interview

sunny 29

waiting for citizenship oath

file i-130 for my wife

ISB pakistan

so you hijack this thread with your completely unreleated question so any way iam giving you the answer becoz iam here for helping people so please next time if you have any question please start new topic on your question board

yes you can go with your wife at the time of cr1 visa interview only for backup support at the time of your wife interview you are not allowed to give interview with your wife. only your wife allowed to give interview alone yes you go islamabad usa embassy with your wife yes you have a good option to wait and pray that she passed her interview have a nice day

hi

i am about to send in ds-230 package. but a police certificate came in a sealed enveloped and my wife were told not to break the seal..

do i still need to make a copy of it? or can i just send it as it is without a copy?

thank you.

hi murukun i dont know which country are you from what is the rule of your country about police certificate but in normal way police certificate is just a normal certificate which mention your character and your cleareance if we talking about nvc rule no there is no restriction about police certificate you can open your enveloped and check the validity of police certificate because some country have a 3 month validity and some country have 6 month validity you must check your validity because at the time you are on nvc processing stage because you have nvc stage to interview stage total 4 to 6 peroid month scheduled left becoz you dont know exactly when your interview will scheduled its really 6 month or its really 4 month left if your police certificate is only validity 3 month so at the time of your interview this police certificate is useless for you and embassy and nvc so iam suggest you call nvc first confirm benificiary country law that nvc required seal enveloped or without seal enveloped requried and please set your country and your visa status on forum board

I know the US Embassy controls the medical exam at the country in question. They also have approved medical facilities that are allowed to perform these exams. I think medical exam information is sent out along with the appointment interview notice but I am not sure on that.

My wife is currently working in her country but will stop working once things get close to VISA Time. Does anyone know if there is a way to get the exam performed in advance at one of these facilities while my wife still has insurance coverage from her place of employment?

hi tomd unfortunately no beneficiary usa embassy have no authority to give or take beneficiary medical exam in advance because nvc control us embassy and make appoint interview usa embassy with beneficiary and when nvc make appoint interview then beneficiary usa embassy have authorized to send medical and interview letter to beneficiary

I would just like to know, at what point can my wife go get her medical, and vaccinations?

She still has some of her vaccinations from when We went through the K-1 route, are those still valid?

hi vintage your wife previous k1 vaccination medical is not valid and your question about cr1 visa medical . when your case complete to national visa center level (nvc) then nvc transfer your case to your wife home country usa embassy and then nvc make interview appointment to us embassy with your wife and that time embassy send you a check list and inform about medical and vaccination

Well after many phone calls and emails the embassy finally gave us the second interview date of May 16th which happens to be 11 days after i leave egypt. I contacted them many times to ask it be before then and after they issued the date asked them if there was any possibility of it being moved to before May 5th so that i could attend with him . Their response is there are no openings before may 16th... so.. he will interview alone again and travel alone if they approve... What is very strange to us is that after the first interview they requested his CV and my previous marriage certificate, he gave them his CV there at that time and we sent the marriage paper of mine from before, they also had his CV already from when i submitted the original petition however, the lady on the phone stressed highly to bring his CV to this second interview.... wondering what that is about.

HI MYSTIC great news for your husband 2 interview iam sorry that you are not together with interview so forget previous document denmand of consular officer if they really need any document they demand you after your husband first interview again and again in weekely basis and i think embassy dont need any document consular officer only trick your husband to check husband or wife communication gap let supose for example consular officer say to your husband your wife dont send us her birth certificate if your husband answer is that if your husband answer is 50% 50% husband say i think they send you so your husband answer is that ( i think) this is the point where consular officer doutful that your husband is not 100% percent sure about his answer so this is the point where consular officer thought that there is a gap between husband and wife communication and they not love each other and this marriage is only purpose for green card so this time beprepared and becareful

Does anyone know how long it takes after your case is complete tto be sent to the embassy?

HI BAJANKUTIE wait for 15 to 20 day after 15 to 20 days embassy make appointment with beneficiary send you a check list about medical and interview after 45 to 60 days depend on embassy visa petation work load

My wife and I met with my lawyer to finally file for spouse petition about six weeks ago, 355 fee was paid and all we had to do is wait for some type of notice. Well, it has been six weeks and we are still waiting... It is normal? Should I contact my lawyer?

I will appreciate some advice from anyone that went through this...

PS: Application sent to California Center according my lawyer...

dont panic this is normal process some one recieved noai in 3 days some one recieved week or month i think your wating time is over in that case you d you can call uscis 1-800-375-5283 when you call first operator recieved your call dont talk first operator because first operator is a uscis contractor you tell him please connect me to imigration officer because some time uscis contractor operator give you wrong imformation because sometime they dont know how to operate computer on imigration file. so only talk to a imigration officer you tell the operator subject line is your husband and wife name date of birth your zip code your courier service detail and detail about money order or cheque your social security number if you have any other question you can feel free to ask me have a nice day

ok that might sound silly and ignorant, but u mean its approved? if there's a problem in my case or papers, rnt they supposed to tell me on the spot?

hi your case is fine and complete your case is in administrative processing when your administrative processing is complete usa embassy will issue you a us visa and if during administrative processing embassy need any other document they will call you if they found any problem in your case they told you on spot and they also satisfy with your interview and your case is going to final approval

Hello everyone,

i had my cr1 interview today, they made me sign part II form, made me fingerprint, and took my passport and gave me a card that says "collect passport" that has today's date stamped on it, then i asked them whether i am approved or not, they didnt give a definite answer, and they told me they will call me in 3 weeks and i can go home now! what does that mean exactly? is it approved or not yet? help me out plz

p.s. the u.s embassy i was interviewed in is in Riyadh/ksa

hi hammoudeh wait for three week after three week they call you and told you collect your us visa and passport to courier service

What?

hi deb+steve i mean to say brucelene petation is not denied because sometime uscis officer dont know what is doing right hand and right hand dont know what is doing left hand so in that case uscis is only need RFE from petitioner and i think case is fine

My husband called USCIS and spoke to USCIS Supervisor. and she was just searching a lot and saw the Service Request for the copy of Denial that my husband did the other day.And she seemed surprised too. She said sometimes the website and phone don't update and advised to wait 1 week for the uscis to see if they send us the denial and if they don't, we file g-639 form.

QUESTIONS:

1. Why she can viewed in their computer our status is in Denied, while when i viewed in my computer and my husband's computer, says REQUEST FOR EVIDENCE.As what she said in her mouth sometimes the website and phone don't update Is their computer a supernatural than any of our computers?

2. Are we going to wait 1 week?

Please :help: us. Give us your bright ideas on whats next.

Husband already emailed the Senators and Congressmen and waits for their reply.

hi brucelene i think your denied is only human mistake dont worry wait for 1 week and i think after 1 week uscis only send you request for evidence and your case wiil be fine

i know u guys have repeated this sooo many times.

so my case status shows as approved online. hardcopy will be received b4 friday, hopefully.

and i should keep on calling the NVC to c if my case is available and give the operator 2 email addresses right?

once that's done, i should tell my husband to send in the ds3032 right away or wait for NVC to send me an email to send ds3032????

thanx for ur time guys really appreciate the help.

hi muskan4eve great news congratulation for your noa2 so pls pray for me iam also waiting you should tell your husband send ds 3032 right away no problem so get every thing ready

So I was checking on the status of my case with NVC's AVR and it informed me that the NVC is awaiting the return of the biographic forms from the petitioner. This is something that I dont think I have read about before anyone know what this is all about?

Also quick question regarding the documents that go with the DS 230, I am referring to the birth certs, police certs etc, does the NVC return those to me or send them to the embassy? I ask b\c I am assuming these same certs will need to be taken to the interview correct?

Thanks again

hi in_ar_from_tx nvc talking about ds230 part I and part II QUESTION ABOUT RETURN DOC - NVC SEND ALL DOC TO BENIFECERY USA EMBASSY AFTER HUSBAND OR WIFE INTERVIEW US EMBASSY RETURN ALL DOCUMENT TO BENIFECIARY

I filed a spousal visa for my wife in July of 2007 and got all kind of excuses from uscis about the delay and two RFE's. I wrote to my ombudsman last year and again early this year. We got a letter today from a supervisor of the customer assistance office of uscis saying that our petition was denied on Dec. 18, 2009 and that CSC had sent us a letter of denial explaining why we were denied. I never received a letter of denial or any kind of letter like that. I did receive a letter dated December 17, in response to a service request I had done, saying our case was still being processed but no denial letter at all. I went online to see if it said I was really denied, and checked my case status. It said my case was being processed in CSC and I would get a letter when a decision was made. I thought that was strange that it wasn't updated online so I called the uscis service center. The automated voice asked for our petition number and after I gave it, the voice said our case was being processed in California and that was the most recent update available for our case. Unfortunately, I got a customer service represenative that wouldn't give me any help or even tell me if we were denied or not. She finally said she would do a service request to find out and then told me I should hear something in 45 days. AARRGGGGHHHH!!!!! I don't know what to do now. Does anyone know how I can find out if I'm really denied or not. Why would the letter say I'm denied and the web site and customer service center both say it's being processed still? Has anyone ever heard of this happening before? I'm really confused and could use some advice. Thanks!

hi brucelene some time uscis can not update your case in system you wait 15 days after 15 days uscis update your case in own system first of all you call uscis again and tell them please send me a anotrher copy of my denied case when you call uscis dont talk first operator because first operator is a uscis contractor tell the first operator i want to talk only immigration officer some time uscis contractor operator dont know about immigration case and they give you wrong imformation about your case and also contractor dont know how to operate immigration case on computer

i tried signing in today without success... i then called NVC and they said that our case was just completed.

how long does it take from this point on?

my wife will be interviewing in Casablanca, Morocco...... do i need to be with her?

i will be traveling to Morocco in late May or early June for vacation.... to see my relatives, and of course my wife haha... and then bring her back with me!

should i wait for her to pass the interview then go to morocco, or should i go before?

are there any documents required other than the appointment letter and her passport?

i'm soooo excited..... inchallah, my wife will be by my side.

hi tk9 first of all congrulation for your case completion wait for 15 days after 15 days embassy make appointment with your wife yes you support and backup your wife at the time of your wife interview but you are not authorised to attent your wife interview only you can go embassy with your wife no problem and your question about document embassy sending check list about document
