Re: VWP and intent to stay - legality

I feel the same way... My friend is convinced that since nothing bad has happened yet, it's a perfectly valid, legal immigration route. When I ask her why she thinks I didn't do it the same way, she...

Re: VWP and intent to stay - legality

Hm, I've been reading that it's essentially immigration fraud to enter on a tourist visa with immigrant intent. He's even been looking for work mid-adjustment which surely isn't allowed (though...

VWP and intent to stay - legality

As I was finishing up my CR-1 process in the spring, a friend of mine got married to a non USC (from Mexico, in Mexico). I told her what the legal procedure was, and warned her about him coming here...

Re: I-130 Filing in USA - Join in here!

I only found that out over at the visajourney forum. I was originally avoiding it because they don't have tons of UK-specific info, but from USCIS through the NVC stage it doesn't really matter...

Re: I-130 Filing in USA - Join in here!

Yeah, calling my congressman/senators worked well for me at the I-130 stage, too. I wish someone on this forum had suggested it to me before I waited 7 months, rather than just telling me to stop...

Re: Visa Processing Fees to Change on April 13, 2012

Then why is the whole I-130 process based on forms submitted by the petitioner (USC)? Immigrant relative visas are definitely a service for US citizens who are trying to bring their relatives to the...

Re: Visa Processing Fees to Change on April 13, 2012

They're not part of the larger congressional budget, sure... but there's a budget at USCIS and NVC, and from my end they certainly seem understaffed!

Re: Visa Processing Fees to Change on April 13, 2012

So with all the government's budget issues, some visa fees are going DOWN? Why would they do that? :confused:

Re: post-NVC process

Oh, I meant call NVC to find out your interview date! Assuming you're CR-1/IR-1, NVC sets the interview date before shipping it to the embassy. It's just a normal number, no charge per minute: ...

Re: post-NVC process

I'd be calling at least once a week, if only because it seems plausible that they have the interview date already scheduled but haven't sent out the interview letter yet. Though I guess it doesn't...

Re: post-NVC process

It seems to vary in a way that's consistent with I-130 processing time variance. Consistent in the sense that it seems fairly random.

I've been asking around over on the VisaJourney forum and...

Weird situation with two interview dates... hopefully calling them back will straighten it out?

Re: Been issued two interview dates in London...

Are you doing the CR-1 route? If so, do you mind if I ask how long it took between your NVC case complete and receiving the interview date (if you know)? How many days in advance was your interview...

Point well taken, though to be honest, I expect to be constantly frustrated by the process either way!

Post completion at NVC. I'm now pretty convinced that it won't delay your interview date... some people going the CR-1 route seem to get away with booking their medical four days before their...

Is it best to do this over the phone, or is it the kind of thing where I need to mail in a specific form?

Re: post-NVC process

I did wonder if some of my confusion is a CR1/K1 issue... so NVC schedules the interview, not the consulate, but I should contact the consulate (not NVC) to see if the date can be rescheduled sooner?...
