Hey everyone! First of all, I'm SO relieved to see that the interview letters went out this month - I've been thinking of everyone, I know I would've been beside myself back in August if that happened

Hi, I am US citizen sponsoring my husband for IR-1. He was DQ March 27 and just received IL for August 1.

We submitted application for one of our children, IR-2. But we have two more children, one that has been named in all documentation as part of the family and then we had another who came after all documentation was submitted.

What do we do with the children that we didn’t submit applications for and the one that wasn’t listed on any documentation. We were going to do there paperwork as soon as we moved to the US.

Do we list them as “Accompanying?”

Got my interview letter for August 7th. Was Dq'd on March 14th. When we initially applied our visa category was CR-1. But it will be more than 2 years we have been married when i go to the interview. Does my visa category will remain CR-1 or will it change to IR-1? Will i have to tell the officer about this?

Your visa will automatically get switched to IR1 I believe.

my interview is coming up, so i’m looking to get new ‘passport style’ photos done. Anyone have a place they recommend, is Walmart fine? They offer canadian passport photo and international (includes US), should I do international and will that b ok ?

 

one other question, does anyone know whether I need the petitioners original birth certificate ? the website’s checklist is kind of confusing me on the wording. I know I need my original one but are copies of his ok?

Has anyone who got their letter on Wednesday able to register yet? As of this morning it kept telling me my case was not ready to be registered. I know it stays like that for a bit but not sure when I should expect it to allow me to do it. I made my account already though so there's that :)
