[muzk2012 1]

hey guys how are you as some of you may already know i have applies for a CR1 visa for my wife ... well not the visa but i have sent out the petition to uscis... so i have 2 questions to which im hoping i get detailed answers from experince...

1- while im waiting for the NOA2 what can i do to prepare myself for NVC process?

2-should i get my wife to mail all her originals here because they need to be sent to NVC OR should i let her hold on to orignials and they will just asked for it durign the interview???

3-also what is this IV packet? i belive this is the DS-230 (part 1 and 2), DS-3032 (choice of agent), the medical examination, her passport biographical page copy, her birth certificate copy, police certificate, correct does this include sending in evidence of relationship pics, travel, phone records ect ect? or no?

4- this is what im most confused about on the guide for ir1/cr1 visa it says OF-169 signed and completed what is this form? and why cant i seem to find it? not even on google?

5- the steps i need to take here for the NVC process is just the I-864 (self), co-sponser (father) and both fo our 3 years tax transcripts, last 6 paystubs, and a employment verification letter. ( i belive this is all am i correct or am i missing something i may need todo for NVC process)

WHILE ANSWERING please keep in mind i will be the agent on my wifes behalf ... so what do i need to send her? what should i get mailed from her?

and what does she need to send and what she needs to keep to take to interview... what do i need to send if i am her agent ? im so sorry for all these questions that have probably already been answered but i would really be thanful to anyone who takes the time to answer my questions ... thankyou guys ...

What you need with you for the entire process from the petitioner standpoint.

- Proof of your residence or citizenship

- Your Drivers license, or ID

- The Marriage certificate

- Photo of the beneficiary (spouse) - passport size

- Biographic page of their passport

- Birth certificate (spouse)

- Police clearance for spouse - this Takes anywhere between 1-5 months depending what country the spouse is from

eg. Malaysia takes 6 weeks.

- DS230 part 1 and 2 completed and signed by spouse

- DS3230 - completed and signed

- tax returns with w-2 recent year only. If you are petitioning for 2012, your returns for 2011 will be the most recent, regardless of which month it is.

- If you haven't filed taxes yet, returns for 2010 and the last paystub for the 2011 showing the total gross must be sent with all the other supporting finance including all 2012 paystubs or JUST GO FILE YOUR TAXES!

USCIS, requires a lot of documentations of you and the person you are filling for, if you have all of the things i listed above- you are in good shape. Only send COPIES to USCIS.

As soon as you submit all the forms and fees for the initial I-130 form - do the following.

1. Get the person you're filling for apply for a police clearance immediately. No country has this "certificate of good conduct" available immediately. This is a letter of any criminal history from the country your spouse is residing. It takes 1 - 5 months to be completed - Important scale 10. Have it mailed to you and keep this.

Get the ds-230 from state.gov filled and signed by the person you are sponsoring and have them sign it but do not date it yet and mail it to you. You keep this until further notice

When your case is 100% completed in USCIS (5-6 months), you will receive a notice a.k.a (NOA-2)saying your case is now with NVC and they will soon contact you.

The NVC (2 months)

Wait for about 5 business days, and call NVC (the number is in the letter) and read them your USCIS case number and see if the NVC has assigned a case number for it. The Case number from NVC will start with a City code and the year (for eg; Kuala lumpur, Malaysia in 2012 will be KLL2012*******) Get this number for your case. IMPORTANT!

What do you do after you get the case number? Assign agent immediately

Go here: http://www.visajourn...il_DS-3032_form

Copy paste with your details and send it.

Wait few days, and you will get a response and via email and there will be .pdf file attachments that will have the AOS (affidavit of support requirement) - pay that and send it in

Wait a day or so - the status should change to PAID - Fill the affidavit of support form and submit the documents supporting your claim in that form (w-2, pay stubs etc)

This will take between 2-20 business days. Just your luck.

Now you will receive another email asking for you to pay and submit the ds230 part 1

Now, go ahead and pay the fee, print the cover letter from there.

Now get the ds230 with the following all originals or certified copies.

- The Marriage certificate

- Photo of the beneficiary (spouse) - passport size

- Biographic page of their passport

- Birth certificate (spouse)

- Police clearance for spouse - this Takes anywhere between 1-5 months depending what country the spouse is from

eg. Malaysia takes 6 weeks.

- DS230 part 1 completed and signed and dated!

- DS3230 part 2- completed but no signatures or date.

Now once they receive, it will take another 2-20 business days for the documents to be reviewed. Just your luck.

Once everything is reviewed, you will receive another email either asking for more documentations or stating they have finished the case and will appoint an interview date. Another email will show up few days later with the final email from NVC giving you the appointment date for the embassy.

1 - wht is this OF-169? ????

I have gotten the police certificate but it expires in 3 months :/ so I will have to get another one ..

and oh yes THANKyou for the great response.. it was more than I would expect anyone todo ..

[muzk2012 1]

I did research and the only one they allow todo the whole medical exam in bahrain is " American Mission Hospital"

police certificate usually takes a few weeks in bahrain .. that's not easy and to anyone who might find it useful bahrain police certificates expire in 3 months

The OF-169 is generally an informational document specific to the embassy other requirements. This is mostly for consular stage once your visa interview has been scheduled.

It has nothing to be filled- just info. If bahrain has it, it will be emailed to as part of the (P4 FOR NEOPOST DS-1200). You will receive this email when your interview is scheduled in bahrain.

In the same email that NVC sends to you when an interview date is set, you will have all the information in that email about the medical exam. You will have to wait for this step as the Dr. may need to see the appointment letter.

What ever the fee required, will be generated on the fee payment website. So don't worry about the calculations as that's one of the things our government is actually efficient.
