Something is confusing. You said you came back? "I got married on December 29th 2012 and I returned on the 6th of January 2013." But your timeline says USCIS DCF I-130 Petition: And you also said you called USCIS. I am totally confused. DCF applications are handled by consulate itself in their office, right? If you returned back, how could you file DCF?

Hi Y'all, First of all, Thanks to everyone who have helped me move along my IR1 Visa application. In January when I started applying for my wife's green card application (I-130), I was clueless like

NOA2 is when your petition to apply for an immigrant visa is approved. After NOA2 you still have to apply for the IR-1 visa itself, at the NVC. Have you not read the guides above?

Regardless of where a petition is filed, no verification process is ever "skipped."

Dude.. I am the US citizen.. I got married back in India.. My Wedding was on the 29th of December 2012 and my work demanded me to be back by the 6th January 2013 back in USA. I was not on an assignment like you.. DCF requires you to file the paperwork directly at consulate and thus skipping the other verification process.,. Your processing is much faster compared to the IR-1/CR-1 process which i filed.

What I don't understand is you said you filed DCF but you where back in US? Shouldn't DCF be filed from India itself and that too with residency requirement in India. I am just trying to understand and not arguing with you.

I did not request an expedite my friend. I just consider myself lucky...dancin5hr.gif

Yes, you have been very lucky indeed.

About 2 PCC's yes- There are 2 different ones..One you get from the Passport Seva Kendra.

The other one you request it from the Rural SP/ City Commisioners Office. its called a Police Clearance Certificate. This is just for Indians.

 

 

I'm the beneficiary, wife of USC.
12/30/2012: Got engaged.

4/2/2014: Write to NSCFollowup to know about the status of the petition.
4/10/2014: Put in a ?service request with USCIS starting with OVP to locate case.
4/16/2014: Reply from NSCFollowup that the U.S. law prohibited that office from responding to anyone other than the petitioner and to have the petitioner contact them.

I thought IR1 visa is for persons who are married for more than 2 years? And CR1 visa is for those who are married for less than 2 years. How come you applied for an IR1 visa?

They are technically both IR visas... Immediate Relative. The conditions are placed when the couple has been married less than 2 years.

Subsequently you could say all the visas are CR visas unless the couple has been married over 2 years. But imo, it doesn't make as much sense to call everyone conditional relatives.

I guess it's not Consulate specific. The only thing required is PCC from Passport Office.

It was a requirement when i called the NVC personally.they told me for Indians they require both PCC's. However when my wife received the document checklist of received docs, they had specified on the PCC from the passport office. The only reason i suggest sending both is because, I sent my documents directly to the NVC and i did not want to risk the delay if the agent looking at my documents thought they needed it. Better safe than sorry.. thats all.

Do not contact the Congress unless your country / financial conditions are not in good shape. You're only on the 100th day. Keep calling USCIS talk to a tier 2 agent and email them.
