Send one page letter to USCIS, NVC and EMBASSY. No notarization required. (No matter what the "experts" say here). :blink:

If you want to search for a new girl soon, then include a sentence such as, "Please interpret this letter as a request for an IMBRA waiver should such a waiver be needed for a future petition application."

Good luck in future endeavors!

:star:

IMBRA Waivers are great when filing the I-129F for a K-1 visa - but not so useful on I-130 petitions for CR-1 visas. What were you thinking about, when you wrote this? IMBRA doesn't apply, for I-130 petitions.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

Whoa Nelly ! Want NVC Info? see http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NVC_Process

Congratulations on your approval ! We All Applaud your accomplishment with Most Wonderful Kissies !

I think this would be useful to all fellow VJers who just completed their I-130 approval or about to complete their I-130 or stuck in NVC process.

I do count every second in NVC process to make it lightning fast!

NVC Processing

Department of State Official link - http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/nvc/nvc_1335.html

Also, follow LingChe shortcut (http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/LingChe_NVC_ShortCut) for fastest NVC processing. Current record is 13 days using LingChe shortcut in the past.

Here is my link - http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/EZGuideSpouse

Read is "very important" to complete NVC process faster. If you are really confused, easy digest is that EZ guide. Then read all other guides.

Yes, you can start calling NVC to get Case#. Tel# is in the guide. Also, to speed up things, make sure you have beneficiary's all the required documents at hand, which are needed here.

Lots of Patience Thank you! This is very helpful. Appreciated your excellent input

I have questions regarding your post on how you can get through NVC process faster. The email of Choice of Agent, is this going substation for a snail mail you do. I wanted to find out, also you have said that you can have your wife/husband sign the form ahead than print number bar later on. So i would like to do this since my case is entering in that phase. It's passed by Immigration office and it will be send to NVC not sure how long that takes. I just received email regarding approval.

Please provide whatever information you can. And I would like to thank everyone for their information it really helps you get through the time.

Thank you,
