Devarj replied to ChadW's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
Had lots of issues uploading. However, once I wrote a comment in the comment box my files were uploaded. I just wrote sinething as I864 attached. Not sure if it's a fluke but once I added comments the files were uploaded. -

Even tried different combinations (First name only, 1st and middle name, middle name only, etc.) But cannot register at the site. Can anyone assist as to what I can do? Thanks in advance

Based on my expertience, albit in Vietnam, it is better to get married in country and file DCF. This is much faster than filing with USCIS while in the US. Filing in the US will take about one year for USCIS approval. On the other hand, perhaps not filing DCF is best for getting your financials and housing solidified in the US before starting the family life. I would create a budget for what you need to afford while family is in the US (school, housing, utilities, groceries etc.). Although your VA benefits will increse with additional family menbers, this is still quite expensive, so the year wait could be beneficial. Some options: Get a joint sponsor so you can meet the financial requirements and file the I130 DCF after marriage. 2. Get married in country, file the I130 with USCIS electrinically while in Cambodia using your brother's address. This will get the process started before you arrive in the US. Then move to the US, get settled, and wait for the approvals. Note that you're filing seperate I130s; so the timeline for each may be different (one approved while other is pending). Just wondering: since you're in the cyber security field, can you get employment in the US and work remotely in Cambodia? That may improve your situation.

Processing Times Question
Devarj posted a topic in Bringing Family Members of US Citizens to America
USC petitioner for stepson under 18 in Vietnam. Filed I130 March 2022. DQ at NVC on 13 June 2024 (over 2 years to get to this point). Any idea on how long is the wait for interview date at the Ho Chi Minh consulate in Vietnam? I know there is no definite timeline but any recent timelines and/or estimates would be beneficial. Any advice? Thanks in advance. -
Timeline /Processing times
Devarj replied to Mr&Ms.Walsh's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports
I filed I130 in March 2022 for stepson. Approved April 2024. Now awaiting interview date. A very long process for some. Conversely, I filed CR1 for spouse via DCF in 2020. Got approval visa in 6 months. Perhaps USCIS figure I owe them some time from the quick turn on the CR1 and taking it back on my next petition. 🙂 -
We lived in Thailand. Stayed in Bangkok for one month, then moved to the beach for a month, back to BKK for a month, back to beach, then traveled and stayed to other parts of thailand. Then we moved to Vietnam. I listed every address if we stayed for a month or more. I just buld an excel spreadsheet transferred the information on a continuation page.

Emma said: Task ownership changed
Devarj replied to sam3435's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
The Timeline is useless. Mine went from 3 weeks to 4 months; from days to weeks etc.. Waited almost 2 years for USCIS approval. Always check the documents tab to see if they have sent you any documents. -

I filed DCF in Vietnam, Ho Chi Ming City. We were living in Vietnam and I got a job offer in USA that required me to be there in 3 months. I filed an 1-130 an requested to expidete under exceptional financial circumstance. The !-130 process was approved and my spouse Sprouse recieved her visa within 3 months. In my letter detailing exceptional circumstance request , I discussed my financial and professional development need to accept this position. I also attached my employer's letter of job offer, my response letter accepting the position, and letter from the employer with a requested start date.

I can't get back to that page since my docs were already submitted. There is a section after where you upload the files that say Comments (Optional). Middle of the page. I typed in that box and it uploaded.

DS-260 Confirmation Page printout
Devarj replied to Gaiden79's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
This did not work for me. Once submitted it could not be retrived. Fortunately I filled it out on paper b4 filling it out electronically. You may want to download the blank form and print it at FedEx or public printing place. I find that printing blank forms and filling them out before going electronically save me errors. -
I added comments in the comment section and was able to upload files

Nothing here as well Let me know if you find a solution or have contact information to NVC THanks

I read a few online comments. Seems several folks has had the same problems for a few days. Just tried again and no luck. Waited two years to get to this point and stuck again. Yuck! I'm got in to do some more research and see if I can get a solution.

Any suggentions of how to solve NVC upload issues? I cannot upload any documents to include the I864 or tax documents etc. All are under 2 MB and .pdf format. Tried on two different computers and same issue. Anyone experienced this and if so, please let me know the fix. Thanks.
