I would like to start this Forum, because I file for my wife visa this month January 2019. I just want to be able to bring a group together that has filed this month january 2019 so we can be a support system to each other. Share experience, give updates, suggestions, or any help.

 

I hope more people join me.

My wife will be filing a CR-1 visa in mid-February, so I absolutely want to exchange questions, problems, and experiences. I want to expedite the process whereever possible. For example, I see that as soon as I can get my hands on Packet 3, I can file a police clearance application. Here's the listed requirements for that clearance certificate:

INSTRUCTION FOR THAI POLICE CLEARANCE CERTIFICATE

 

DOCUMENTS REQUIRED FOR THAI POLICE CLEARANCE APPLICATION APPLICANT RESIDING IN THAILAND

The applicant can contact Police Clearance Service Center in person with the following documents:

 

NON THAI APPLICANT

Passport with one photocopy

Document(s) certify that the applicant is working, used to work or residing in Thailand.

Thai working permit (if available) with one photocopy

Requesting letter from the embassy of the country to which the applicant plans to travel. A notice from the US Embassy regarding your case (i.e. a packet 3 cover letter) can be used for this purpose.

A photocopied passport of your American petitioner

Working permit (if available) with one photocopy

Requesting letter from the embassy of the country to whichthe applicant plans to travel. A notice from the US Embassy regarding your case (i.e. a packet 3 cover letter) can be used for this purpose.•

A photocopied passport of your American petitioner

Without knowing which forms and when to file them using DCF, I will be in Bangkok in early February and will visit DHS, where DCF is located, and hope they will tell me what to file and when. If that happens, I will share with you what I learned.

Yeah, they SAY it's random and they workload balance with other centers (claiming no impact to timeframe). We shall see...

I know it won't help much. I did message my Congress person into looking to the balance issues at uscis while there's a large gap between the centers. Asking if each service center dedicate the same number of personal  to the same type of forms based on intake. I mean if I work at LIN and I got twenty different forms landing on my desk. What's going to go faster off my desk is easy cases to keep my level of business up as an individual worker.

Curious how our case will progress because we've already received approval on K1 and everything should be in the system already. We just stalled in administrative processing after an interview with a terrible officer. I complained and turned him into his superiors at the embassy through my congressman. While waiting for resolution I had a rare opportunity to spend 45-days away from my home and children so we had a beautiful Indian wedding with family, friends and colleagues in November. I just refiled for CR1 and had them cancel the K1 in process. I couldn't take the chance of denial because who knows when I'd be able to escape my life for a month and a half again. Sigh.
