I'm a US citizen, I got married in India last year, I filed an I-130, then I accepted a job in Europe and moved there with my wife. Then my I-130 got approved and my case got forwarded to NVC. My plan is to live in Europe for another 2 years. But I would like to get a greencard now. My question...

I'm a US citizen living in CA. I sent a I-130/CR-1 for my Indian wife around April 10. On April 19, my bank showed that the check for the filing fee of $355 was cashed by USCIS. But as of today (one and a half months later) I have not heard from them. I did not get a NOA1. What should I do...

I'm filing I-130 for my wife, and I have to prove my US citizenship. They say that I can send a copy of my US passport. Does this mean just the front page or all pages? Almost all the pages are blank. Another question... If I send a copy of my naturalization certificate then I don't have to send...

If I am applying for CR-1 for my wife, using form I-130, then my wife and I each have to submit form g-325a (www.uscis.gov/files/form/g-325a.pdf). I have a question on filling out this form. At the end there is the following question... "This form is submitted in connection with an application...

thanks everyone for your feedback. But I was asking about the time to get NOA2 of K1 vs time to get NOA2 of CR1/IR1. I am not married yet. We are trying to decide whether to marry abroad or in USA. That is why I am asking. Which NOA2 is faster? It seems to be K1's. Is that right and why?

Why is the time to get NOA2 for I-129F (K1) less than the time to get NOA2 for I-130 (CR-1/IR-1)? (this is what I see when I look at people's timelines) Has anyone got an explanation?

I live in California. I'm gonna file for IR-1 soon for my wife. And soon that I have to go abroad for work. Nobody will be here at home to check my mail. My friends can't do it. So I'm thinking about setting up US post office forwarding to my sister's place in New York and she will check it for...

I don't understand TripleCitizen's answer. He seems to be saying that since we both met online, the site we used is automatically an International Marriage Broker. However that is not necessarily true. As I pointed out in my original post, a dating/matrimonial site is not considered an...

Hi, I am a US citizen and I met my fiancee through a matrimonial website called Jeevansathi.com. This is where we got in touch and since then we have emailed, phoned, and met each other. So I want to get a K1 visa for her. I'm filling out the I-129 form and I have to declare how we met and if...

Hi, My oath is going to be in Montebello, CA. It says at Quiet Cannon. Which looks like a banquet facility. site is www.quietcannon.com. So where should I go at this facility ??????

Hi, What should I do? I am trying to get K1 for my fiancee but she does not have a birth certificate. She was born in India.

Thank you elcupacabras.. but where in your steps would I submit an affidavit of support (I-129). According to the gov website (http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/types/types_2994.html#Filing), I would submit it at some point.

To get a K1 for my Indian fiancee, the gov website (http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/types/types_2994.html#Filing) says that I have to file I-129F, then its forwarded to NVC, then to an embassy/consulate in India. Later it mentions that I have to file I-134 (affidavit of support), but...

Please explain the following new rule regarding K3s, which is on http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/types/types_2993.html Important Notice: Effective February 1st, 2010, when both the I-129F petition for a nonimmigrant K visa and the I-130 petition for an IR-1 (or CR-1) spouse of a...

I have several Indian passports... When applying for OCI, they want proof that you held Indian citizenship. At SFO, they ask for your original most recent passport. I have 3 Indian passports. Why can't I send in an older passport as proof? This is a hypothetical question. I have my latest...

Sudha1999, when you applied for OCI at SFO, did they return your Indian passport or keep it?

Hi, My oath ceremony is coming up and the oath letter has some questions at the back. One of them asks if I left the country between the time of my interview and the oath. Yes I did, for 3 weeks (It was December, I went on holiday :)).. So once I tick yes in that question, what will happen...

Hello-- congratulations on getting your OCI so fast. Your US passport took a while tho. I mean, it was fast, but not as fast as others.

Thanks again Ginnu.. I have some more questions tho ;) Is it ok if I make a color scan of my passport? And then print whenever I need to? Do I need to notarize these scanned copies? What does self - attestation mean?

thanks for the tip ginnu. I am going to India for 5 months. I can't postpone oath ceremony because then I'm out of the country for too long and because anyway I can't control when they will give me new date. But thanks, I learned something from you. If I apply for visa they will not keep my...
