US Immigration from Germany

Hey,

we received this email: The National Visa Center (NVC) updated the status of your immigrant visa application

We logged into the account, there is no message. But all our documents are accepted? What is going on? Are we DQ? They want an RFE? How do we know?

Hi VJ community, I am a bit unsure of what happens after the Frankfurt embassy receives the I-130 petition. I have been reading the forums but I feel more confused than ever.

What is packet 3?

I see this term all in the forums but on the official US department of state website does not have it anywhere (at least I haven't found it).

Does the embassy email next steps for the DS-260 stuff or do they send an email?

We want to know what to be on the look out for. I have read so many post and i'm still unclear on what to expect.

Don't do it!!

My wife was denied entry to US because of an 8 hour ESTA overstay, caused by COVID and flight cancellations in 2020. We got married soon after this, and applied for both the CR-1 and a B-2 visas. At the 1st B2 appointment in Vienna, she was denied without any reason given, only "you can reapply...". We had a second interview a month later, denied again. The officer implied that the CR-1 application was a problem for the NI visa, but didn't say it directly. After many emails with Frankfurt and NVC staff, they basically said you cannot apply for both IV and NIV at the same time.

I wish this would have been clear at the beginning. We would have not applied for the CR-1 until we had the B-2. My wife has not been able to visit our US home for almost 2 years because of a nasty immigration agent at Houston.

I finally got my interview date for my IR-1 visa and naturally I am not going to spend the next four weeks worrying until it s finally here.

I read in a lawyers article that a reason for denying an IR-1 visa could be a big age difference.

My husband and I are 16 years apart in age and met when I was 23.

Could this be seen as negative? Is there something I could do preemptively to avoid anything like that? Bringing extra pictures with our families and such to show that everyone in the family is supportive of us?

I m so worried now

Hi everybody,

We just scheduled my IR-1 interview in Frankfurt for November.

We went through all our documents and found a mistake on my DS-260.

My Passport was issued on August 11, 2015 and expires August 10, 2025 - in the DS 260 these dates are November 8 2015 and November 8 2025.

I think our attorney s paralegal got confused with the date format on my passport - I am aware I should have double checked, but that ship has obviously sailed a few month ago.

Is there any way to change those dates?

Is it going to cause major issues or delays, will we have to go back to the NVC stage?
