i dont know how long doc. ver. takes in india but it takes any where from 2 weeks to 2 month in the philippines. and to go with cr-1 the embassy will still do the doc.ver. and you will need an appointment date for the cr-1 interview. you should of asked when you had interview for k-3 if the paper work for the cr-1 had come through to the embassy some times they just throw out k-3 and interview for cr-1. but as for now all you can do is wait for the doc. ver. to be done

doc.ver. goes to your countries records office to verify if doc are forged

good luck and hang in there

you would have to go through the same document varification if it was cr-1 or k-3. I suppose you could call the embassy to see if you can change type of visa just because it would make a difference in when you would get your green card, but the varification would be the same, you have to be patient just like I do. We have been waiting 9 weeks now.

Hang in there, be patient

Technically, once I-130 is approved, you or NVC or consulate are not supposed to follow the K-3 path. If they did, that was a blunder mistake, first of all. Past is past. Contact NVC/Consulate and confirm if they can process your I-130 CR1 path. If they do, proceed with that.

Can you please tell us what exactly written on 221-g. It is basically for missing or invalid document and that could be questioning your K-3 path too ???

Most of the time AP comes at the consulate interview due to the suspect by the consulate officer of the document completeness or the validity. If the applicant is male candidate, then the suspicion will be more unlike female applicant. Also, if the case is complex, suspicion will be even more...

i called embassy they said i can start process for CR1. if my document verification will complite before my CR1 will reach embassy . i can go home. and he also told document verification for k3 will use for CR1 so this is good news.

he aslo told if my ppc will expair i have to submit another one.

my question is how much time it take to CR1 need to complite process at NVC.

if it will take 2 month in between my AP can complite so it will help in my CR1

i wan ask when i will start CR1 i have to submit original documents . which is in embassy. how i will come out with this problam

PatiencePaidOff' in my first 221g they asked more relationship proof , pics before marry and during marry, after marry, list of 20 ppl who attend our marriage, family tree.ant tax papers of my wife and cosponser.

and secend 221g they write mu case is under AP.

i think my father was in india air force, we move all over in india after 5 or 3 year.

i born in calcuta. complited school in channie(madres), collage from punjab.and liveing in delhi. and my my school certificate my name in R.RAJESH KUMAR. i changed RAJESH SINGH. which is my family name .

Rajesh, I though the same too. The reason for 221g is your case was little complicated.

Did you have PCC from all the places you lived more than 6 months after your age 16 ?

Did you have proof about name change, such as Indian Gazette etc. ? Also, did you mention "OTHER NAMES USED" in DS-230 ? It is needed if you have used other names.

Did you have a valid marriage certificate as per Consulate requirement - Sikhs may need civil certificate too other than from Gurudwara, please check with the consulate.

Now if you want to continue CR1 path at NVC, you need ORIGINAL or TRUE CERTIFIED COPIES (birth certificate copy from birth registrar etc.) of the documents. It will be hard to get the originals from the consulate since they are doing AP. Also, if any of your PCC (normally 1 year validity between issue date and the interview date) is expiring, you will need that too.

Good luck!

If the consulate says you can write to NVC to forward the I-130 to consulate, that means they are ready to process your fee payment for IR1?

Just so you know, the consulate can do that. We get expedited at NVC, so we pay the AOS and IV fees at consulate during the interview.
