Re: CR-1 Application UK Permanent Resident
Thank you Rete.
We`ve started gathering the info for the NVC stage and there are two question marks at this point:
1. Shall I apply for ACRO already or it`s too early assuming police certificate would be only valid for six months.
2.We are going to have a sponsor as my wife income doesn`t meet the required threshold. She had an issue submitting last year taxes as she was a subject of identity theft (an issue quite common within the IRS). She would file her tax return for this year shortly. However, I was wondering if I would have any issue either with NVC or London Embassy at the time of my interview.
Very Best Wishes,
Avi

The ACRO only takes about 10 days, so far to early to apply for that now. Leave it, unless you have some misdemeanors in your background, until the NVC has approved the affidavit and moved your case onto the UK. You will need it for the medical.
As for the taxes, did she file at all? She will need to complete the I-864 for you and you will also submit a new I-864 from your joint sponsor.

Re: CR-1 Application UK Permanent Resident
Yes, it makes sense to leave it as there are no issues in my background.
As for the taxes, she had an appointment with IRS last year and tried to file her taxes. She was told that someone else had claimed her on a different tax return however they took her paper based tax return. She was handed a copy of her return with an IRS stamp on it, a PIN number and advised that was an identity fraud made by someone else on her name and they are aware of it.
We are now at the point that she would file for 2016. However, we are concerned whether the same situation would arise once again. Really confused...

Re: CR-1 Application UK Permanent Resident
Thank you all for your replies.
This morning our case was sent to the Department of State as per USCIS so I would probably start chasing them from next week.
We are also going to file my wife`s taxes using her PIN and hope for the best.

Is it a bad idea?

Re: CR-1 Application UK Permanent Resident
I understand your anxiety, but you need to know that while the wheels of US immigration turn slowly... they do turn. Yours is not the only application they've received and they get many hundreds each day and it takes time to go through them all.
It's not necessarily a bad idea... but you're not going to find out anything you don't already know - and that's only going to further your anxiety. It could be 3-4 weeks before NVC gets to your paperwork.
All I'm suggesting is that you allow the system to work before you frivolously begin chasing up paperwork that doesn't need chasing!

Re: CR-1 Application UK Permanent Resident
Thank you Ian.
I guess you`re right and yes I am already anxious.
On a bright side, I am going to see my wife for a short 4 days holiday to the Dominican Republic and I am so excited. That looks better than endless Skype sessions

Re: CR-1 Application UK Permanent Resident
Just an update to let you know we have now been successfully registered with NVC on CEAC.
We managed to complete DS-261 choice of agent, however, we did not select an agent/attorney and we just chose my wife`s address. We paid the AOS fee and still waiting for the IV fee to be invoiced in the system.
As I now hold dual citizenship does anybody know if it`s safe to use my British passport as the main document for visa processing when filling the DS-260 online? On my I-130 I used a different EU passport as I didn`t hold the UK citizenship at that time.
Very Best Wishes,
