    NVC case complete and now ?

    in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures

    Posted

    Hi guys,

    I'm like many of you out there. Waiting for my wife to get here.

    I'm a U.s citizen and filed for her IR-1 back in January 2011. I was under the impression that things will go faster and she will be here by June/july.

    We have only spent few weeks together since the wedding and this long distance marriage brings its own share of stress which i'm sure most of you can relate too.

    My question is : NVC automated voice staus finally changed saying my case was approved on July 14th and please wait 8 weeks for further instructions.I've a lawyer/agent who is doing things on my behalf. i want to know how long from now can i expect her to get her interview date. My indian consulate will be in Delhi since my wife lifes there.

    If i'm correct, i don't have to worry about any prority date issue since she is my spouse and i'm a u.s citizen filing for her.

    Any words of encouragement ? It has been a long 7 months that's for sure.

    Salut !

    Je reviens de mon entretien à l'ambassade : 1H26 chrono.

    Entrée 12h51, sortie (heure de rallumage du portable) : 14he17.

    Je suis allé 3 fois au guichet. Première fois pour donner ma convoc', 2ème fois pour la paperasse et la 3ème pour l'entretien avec la vice consul.

    Elle m'a embêté sur le fait que ma copine ne travaillait pas depuis 5-6 ans (elle a pris ce temps pour élever sa fille) - on a mis le paquet sur ses assets - et qu'elle s'étonnait du remplissage de son compte épargne (5 ans au World Financial Center l'a plutôt pas mal surpris). Ca m'a mis un bon coup de pression mais bon...elle a fini sur le "you should receive your visa within 2 weeks, time needed for verifications".

    Je pense donc que ca l'a fait...mais je ne serai relax qu'une fois le paquet reçu.

    Je pense partir le 23 juillet direction l'Idaho (et ouais, je vais dans le fin-fond des US, près de Yellowstone), j'attends la réception du visa pour prendre mon billet.

    Ma copine habite dans la ville la plus conservatrice des US et le lien principal c'est l'Eglise.... C'est aussi le pays de la pomme de terre et de l'hiver interminable.

    Je commence à bien connaitre le terrain, ça devrait malgré tout le faire et on prévoit de bouger quand j'aurai un taf.

    Sinon, je vais me présenter vite fait. J'ai 28 ans, j'étais prof de CP à Nanterre jusqu'à vendredi..J'ai obtenu ma dispo pour l'année prochaine.

    J'ai rencontré ma copine sur un jeu en ligne (Aventuriers du rail/Ticket to Ride) il y a 2 ans. 7 voyages à nous 2 depuis.

    Je me suis mis au baseball(à la TV) pour occuper mes longues journées : pratique, matches tous les jours, durée 3h30. (avec un beau frère pro en MLB pas trop le choix).

    Comme vous, j'ai rencontré les petits pb avec la bouffe : le cheese bowl des dernières vacances à Noël m'en a fait voir de toutes les couleurs.

    Le pire reste, la clim et l'air conditionné. Surtout à Salt Lake avec 40° à l'hôtel. Ma copine ne peut pas vivre sans, il lui a fallu du temps pour qu'elle se rende compte que je ne faisais pas du cinéma (visites aux wc toutes les nuits, sympa !). Du coup, je vais passer mes derniers jours en France avec un ventilo, pour m'entraîner ;).

    J'ai lu les 100 dernières pages du thread, j'aurai grand'plaisir à me joindre à votre petite communauté.

    A+

    Félicitations et mes "Best wishes" pour la suite.

    Moi pareil, le dépaysement total, je vais partir de 23 ans de la ville lumière ( + 22 ans dans la belle capitale du Portugal) au fin fond de l'Alabama, là bas ce n'est pas le froid que je craint, mais plutôt l'humidité wacko.gif

    Mais je suis prête biggrin.gif

    bienvenu!

    ...on se marie aujourd'hui a la courthouse!

    et apres petit resto a deux (c'est difficile de trouver un bon resto ici)

    Bonne journee a tous

    Tous mes voeux de bonheur!!!

    Q32: In what occupation do you intend to work in the US?

    I am a Commerce graduate with Accounting related work experience. However, I also went back to school after working for quiet a while since i got bored in counting other people's money. I took up Nursing and currently, Im a US Registered Nurse (NCLEX PASSER). Should I write there "Nursing Related Jobs &/or Accounting Related Jobs?".. Does it matter?

    Please advise. Thanks!

    I wrote 2 choices, but I guess what matters is that you have already working plans.

    Tax Returns needed for Interview??

    in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports

    Posted

    I have filed for an extension for my 2010 Income Tax returns and was a full time student and did not work the year prior so I had a additional sponsor fill out the AOS as well as myself,and she provided HER tax returns.Our case has been approved through NVC and forwarded to the consulate, should I expect to be required to provide my own tax returns even though I have filed an extension,or should the additional sponsor's returns be good enough??Any ideas??Thanks.

    Yes you should provide the 2010. My hubby filed the extension but the Embassy here requires the 3 recent years tax returns.

    Good luck

    CR-1 VISA APPROVED BUT HAVE A 221G

    in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports

    Posted

    Dear Forumers,

    Here is the situation. I (british citizen) had my final interview at the US Embassy in London on Thursday, June 9. At that interview, I was told I had been APPROVED for the visa; they took my passport and told me they would courier the passport and visa back to me within 10 business days. I waited 10 business days. I on the tenth business day (Thursday 23 June) I c

    alled the consulate. I was informed the application has been put into Additional Administrative Processing (221g). Apparently it was suspended on June 10 (the day after they told us it was approved) and no one had notified me at all. I was not given a 221g sheet or batch number at the interview as I was approved, you as you can imagine, this was something of a shock to find I was issued a 221g. The Embassy still has my passport.

    Background about me, white british male, work for a US bank, have had one J1 visa and two H1-B visas. Have lived in the US for a total of 5.5 yrs. Currently living in London.

    Has anyone else been in this situation? If so, how long was it before you received your visa?

    Many thanks for any help or advice in advance.

    Best wishes.

    I think this link may help you : http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/221g

    REF from USCIS

    in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports

    Posted

    I just received the notice from USCIS request for additional information about our relationship. They request me to submit evidence like bank accounts, investments made together. Since my wife in VietNam, she does not have SSN so we cannot join to any financial institutes in America except our timeline. Can anyone suggest me how to submit more evidence that would help USCIS determine that we have a bona-fide marital relationship. We don't have any children together. We were married on March 02 2011. I submitted I-130 form at the end of March and got the NOA1 on April 01 2011. :rofl::bonk:

    I had the same RFE, as we met at work and became close friends to another couple from work, we sent a letter written by them and a picture of us together with them and my daugther. We sent another letter of my very best friend and a picture of the 3 of us. We sent letters from my hubby's mother and 2 brothers. And we sent a wonderful letter from my hubby's boss who happen to also be a friend. And of course some picture of me and hubby here in France, in Portugal (I'm Portuguese) and in the USA. The petition was approved a few days later biggrin.gif. The best prove of relationship is having friends talking about you and your wife.
