Hi, I am US Citizen since 2010. Got married in India, Dec '11. Filed the I-130. Finally the visa, CR-1, was granted after 16 months. In these 16 months, the marriage has been a struggle. I've requested her to not come here asap till we figure out something but it looks like it may not happen...

Hi, Filed the I-130 in early Jan 2012. Filed the I-129 in late Jan. Seems like the I-130/CR1 process is coming along, albeit slowly. May be another 2-3 months left in the CR1. The 129f guys wanted some more stuff like G325A etc. Should I even bother with the 129F route? Or should I pursue both...

Hi, Just wondering about the police certificate/clearance, and the format of it. Anyone know about it? Can I find it anywhere on the web? Who is supposed to issue it? The topmost police official in the small town or somebody commanding a district? Does it have to be notarized? Thank you. kaashi

Hi, I got married last month, Dec 2011, in India. Filed an I-130 ten days ago. Got the receipt, I-797C, from the USCIS. Now I am filing the I-129f. Seems pretty straightforward, except I had filed for a K-1 for someone else in 2010 which had got approved but then I had to retract it since the...

Hi, Just wondering which of the above mentioned forms are necessary for the spouse to have for the interview for the spousal visa. Or shall I just have both filled out and ready? akash

Hi, Getting married in Dec 2011. I am a US Citizen. Planning on applying for the K3 (I-130) while I am in India at the Embassy in Delhi. A friend pulled it off somehow and his wife was able to come over in just 3 months. I would probably not be allowed to file at the Consulate directly since I...

Hi, I have read some of the stuff and I feel silly in asking but what is the difference between IR1/CR1 and K3? I have read the different types of visa at the following link and still can't quite get a clear picture except about the basic stuff that one takes longer and costs less etc etc...

Hi, A Citizen friend said that he went to India, got married, and filed all the necessary papers, in the US Embassy at Delhi instead of filing them here. So they cut the time it takes for all kinds of checks here, and the wife was able to come here within 4-5 months. True, in general...

Hi, Fiance has the K1 approved and stamped since Oct 7. Now the Dec 8 blessing/religious ceremony has been called off, for now, and probably for good. 1) Is there a way I can cancel or void the k1 so the fiance doesn't try to get in the US in the next 3-4 months? 2) I read on a recent...

Adv. Parole-- I-485 : timeline Guys, so sorry about to ask again: Any idea about the time it takes for the AP to be granted? roughly 3-4 months? And what about the AOS interview? Is it roughly 6 months from the date of filing? Trying to juggle a visit after AP and before the...

Hi, So the fiance comes here on Dec 11. Probably get married around the 20th. File papers for AOS: I-485, EAD, and AP soon after. Any idea how long the AP takes? It says 3 months in general. Could a file be stuck for some reason? I ask so I can plan a specific date for the return ticket for...

Hi guys, Technical question: Does one have to have a return (round trip ticket) while coming on K1 or can one come on a one way ticket? Round trip is obviously better but does any one know how long the widow is if we get an open ticket for the return? Than kaashi

Hi, Became a citizen in Mar 2010. Got to file the I-130 for my sister so may be one day she can come here. She has a 10 yr multiple entry visa at the moment. Does the filing have any impact on the visitor's visa? How long is she looking at to move in here? 4-5 yrs? or longer? Rough idea...

Hi, The K1 interview is in 3 weeks. There's a question on DS-230 that I was trying to find an answer to: "Who will you be traveling with?" Does the fiance write that she'll be traveling alone? I intend to go to India and bring her back with me. It is more appropriate that way from the...

Hi, As expected, life threw a curve ball and now the engagement is in jeopardy. The interview date in Delhi embassy is Oct 7. I haven't told the embassy yet about withdrawing my petition. I can tell them in a week or two or three or not even bother and let the whole thing fizzle out. Obviously...

Hi, I guess we have reached the later stages of the process. I-129 was approved earlier, sent to the US Embassy in Delhi, the fiance recd. a Packet 3, i sent her the I-134, now waiting for Packet 4, and waiting for an interview date. Question: How does it work after this? If the interview is...

Hi, Got the I 129 approval letter today, NOA2. Went to www.visajourney.com to read about the next steps. Do I need to send the fiancee the I-864 or I-134? Do they have to be notarized? I guess we have roughly one month to gather all the stuff we will need before she gets called in for...

Hi, Got the citizenship, getting the US Passport today. Really appreciate your help and absolutely trust your advice. The situation has changed just a little bit, actually more in my favor, and now it is about doing it right. I had gone to India during the Feb break when I got engaged. I...

Thanks for the previous posts guys. Little paranoid here since I am in currently in India and I just got engaged. The next is the k1 or the k3. The girl's side doesn't mind it either way. However, they think the k3 is a more solid thing. K1 has a lot of time involved and people don't feel super...

Hi, I thought I was very clear regarding my situation about filing for a K1 for the potential fiance in India, after I have my citizenship interview on Feb 23. You guys have been very helpful, and I absolutely trust you guys. But today I spoke to an immigration attorney ( the wife of a...
