A brief summary of the process is as follows:
We prepare an application, it is submitted in the USA to the United States
citizenship and Immigration service (USCIS),
And then once USCIS has completed its review, the case goes to the US State
department’s National Visa Center (NVC) in New Hampshire.
And finally NVC couriers the case overseas to a US Embassy or Consulate near your partner for your partner’s in-person consular interview and issuance of the visa into your partner’s passport..
Then your partner travels to the USA, shows the visa at the border, and joins you here inside the USA.
My philosophy, the VisaCoach philosophy, which we rigorously follow on every case,
team VisaCoach works on, is that success, final outcome, final approval,
depends 99% on the quality of your application that you and we together
prepare and submit to US immigration.
We take every opportunity, leave no stone unturned, in making your application
as complete and persuasive as possible.
The quality of the work we accomplish at the start, at the "front" of this process,
determines the ultimate outcome.
When quality goes in, we expect a positive result to come out.
The petition package is mailed to USCIS.
Spouse Visa applications go to Chicago or Phoenix
After initial sorting then the applications are assigned and forwarded to one
of six USCIS service centers that are scattered throughout the USA.
At the destination USCIS service center your case is reviewed and processed.
USCIS takes many months, often over a year to complete their review. For current timing best is that you contact my offices as USCIS processing times are a moving target and recently have been changing on a monthly basis. Sorry, but recently they have been going slower.
Applying for your partner’s visa through US immigration is similar to traveling on a one lane highway. The cars that get on the road ahead of you must exit and get to their destination before you arrive at yours. And the cars behind you, must wait for you to get to yours before them. The only option you have is to enter and get in line as soon as you can. At VisaCoach we can’t help you pass the other vehicles, but what we do do is work to make sure that YOUR vehicle, your application is done properly, that it reliably makes the journey without breakdown and gets you to your destination as quickly as the immigration traffic will allow.
The sooner you get started, and the sooner you submit, PROVIDING your application is properly done, then the earlier you get your visa.
The review at USCIS includes an FBI background check. This is usually only on the
US Citizen’s background, however it is also conducted on your partner if she or he
had ever lived in the USA.
When USCIS is satisfied with your application, they "approve" it. But they are really just saying that the USCIS review is over. Now another branch of the US government gets involved and must also finally “approve” your case. USCIS hands your case over to the US Department of State, for their review and processing, to their service center in New Hampshire, called the National Visa Center, or NVC for short
NVC confirms which consulate is the one to process your case, and assigns a case number that starts with three letters that identify the consulate, such as CDJ for Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, MNL for Manila, Philippines, LGS for Lagos, Nigeria and so on.
While your case is at NVC, two fees are paid, a visa application fee and the
affidavit of support fee.
Once fees are paid, then we gather and submit to NVC up to date information on your case, and prepare your Affidavit of Support.
Based on knowledge of your situation, we also identify what civil and evidence documents
are required by NVC and help you to submit them.
Required documents include: - Jak na to + styl

So helpful
Thank you !!
Hello Mr. Wahl.
Hope you've had a relaxing weekend!
I've not seen any newsletters from you in a while. Is this by design, or do I need to re-subscribe?
I hold off publication till I have something of interest to my clients to talk about. I will be publishing my newsletter this week, with updated 2024 financial eligibility requrements.
@@Visacoach Thank you for the prompt reply.
I look forward to the next one.
Have a great week!
Thank you for the information very helpful. Is there any income requirement if the sponsor is a pensioner?
The current income requirement for a household of two persons is $25,550. Does not matter how income is earned, pension, wages, etc.
Thanks for the insight .Pls is it mandatory to send a copy of your petitioner ( The US citizen) passport copy if u already have a copy of her naturalisation certificate ?
Best is that you discuss with the attorney or consultant working on your case, what documents are required.
Happy Tuesday, Mr. Fred If France has more fiance visa applicants from an African country than the US does, does that mean the US embassy decision (approval or rejection) for US visa applicants from that African country will be faster than in France? thank you in advance.
Probably no correlation. Each consulate does it's own thing.
Thanks
Hi Coach we plan on marrying online and then going to see him in April. In the mean time can I change my last name? and can he update his id card to say married? or do you recommend to wait since we have not filed the CR1 Visa?
Name change, ID updates are not immigration issues. So have no effect on WHEN you submit the spouse visa application.
Hi coach
I submitted a k1 visa back in August of 2022, but then we got married in April of 2023 before we got the k1 petition approval letter on August 2023.
Now I gotta start over with this cr1 visa.
I tried letting the nvc know of this situation but they said I need to contact the Bogota embassy now to inform them of this change.
Should I go ahead and start the new cr1 visa now even though we didn’t inform the embassy of this?

You can only apply for the visa you are eligible for. You lost eligibility for the fiance visa the moment you married. Now
currently you are only eligible for a spouse visa, and yes, you now need to start completely over from scratch. What you are referring to "contacting NVC, contacting the embassy" shows that you are getting very bad, and very inaccurate advice. If you hired someone to help, you should fire them. If you are doing it yourself, now is the time to hire someone who knows what he is doing.
Hi visa coach, what happens if you do get married within the 90 but you don't submit the i-485 before the i-94 expires?
the 90 days is strict to be married. The time to submit for Adjustment of Status is more relaxed. I council my clients to submit within 8 months of arrival to avoid potential issues.
Ds160 form k1
Fiance full name (include maiden name )
Surname -
Given name -
My fiance maiden name is Gonzalez it is only on her birth certificate
Current surname - Morgan (prior marriage ) included in passport, ssc , all documents.
So what shall I put where ?
Best is you ask the consultant or attorney who is helping you
Please tell me how much time it will take in spouse visa ?
My husband sponsored me
He’s us citizen
How much time i-130 case processing time is ?
Most of my clients are currently experiencing around a year and a half from UsCIS submission to consular interview. Results varry.
Would like to ask how long does it take for the whole process to be completed.
Around year and a half
I'm semi retired and getting married in Thailand this December. Can I file my forms while here in Thailand where I'll be living for six months
Sure Can. I lived in asia for about 20 years. One of the niche services I offer at VisaCoach is to prepare and help you submit while you remain outside the USA. For details www.visacoach.com/stepbystepcr1expat/
If I met a woman who came on a 3 week tourist visa and she overstayed and we get married 8 months later she is eligible to apply for AOS right? It doesn't matter that she overstayed .
If you are a US citizen, and you marry someone who arrived on a tourist visa, and who (the traveler) did not use the tourist visa with plans to stay, you could apply to get permanent residency for your spouse. What matters is you are citizen, the marriage is bona fide, and the traveler did not intentionally misuse the visa. See www.visacoach.com/concurrent-filing-adjustment-of-status/ for details
Hey coach,am a greencard holder via dv and currentlyin the US,can i petition for my child and husband who i didn't add on my ds260 while doing the application?kindly
As a green card holder you can always apply for your spouse or children. If you made mistakes or deliberate falsehoods in your prior dealings with US immigration you might have problems. Bottom line, never lie, always be honest with US immigration or accept the consequences..
Hi right now I am living in Thailand. Do I have to send all my documents to USCIS in America? Or is it possible for me to send everything to the US embassy?
The USCIS here in Thailand closed permanently a few years ago.
Thank you
If you are applying for your spouse, you submit application to the USA lockbox
sorry i am unfamiliar with the term lockbox. Do you mean submit everything in america or send everything to the USA lockbox in thailand? thanks again @@Visacoach
The petition is submitted to USCIS in USA
Thank you so much for the response I appreciate it@@Visacoach
Welcome
Hi coach
Is there any change on cr1 visa us citizen filing for spouse how long is uscis taking now
Theres always minor changes, usually on the slower side. Currently most spouse visas are taking over a year and a half.
If you don't mind my asing, what country is your wife coming from? My soon to be wife is Indonesian, native born and citizen there. I'm Californian and my immigration lawyer told me right now, grand total wait time from filing CR-1 is 19 to 22 months for it.
I also am using a joint sponsor (family member) because when I file, I don't have employment. Switching careers and studying at University, due to graduate May, 2025.

If I met a woman who came to the United States on a tourist visa and we got married here. Can she return to her home country and file a CR1 visa? Or CR1 visas are only meant for couples who marry aboard in her home country?
You have two options, you can apply for a spouse visa, and she returns to home country for her interview after which she can return to USA using the CR1 Visa, www.visacoach.com/spouse-visa/ OR you can keep her in the USA and apply for Concurrent Filing, which allows her to remain in the USA and get her green card without needing to leave your side.www.visacoach.com/concurrent-filing-adjustment-of-status/
@@Visacoach if the woman came on a tourist visa from Nigeria and has been in the United States over 90 days is it probably better if she returns to her home country and file CR1 visa instead of Concurrent Filing due to the high fraud country she's from. Or not necessarily?
Sorry, "which is better?" is a question only you and she can answer. It is not a simplistic, consideration, and depends on your situation, goals and agenda.
@@Visacoach oh ok I was worried if Concurrent Filing is seen as a red flag instead of filing CR1
Sorry, but having a beneficiary from Nigeria is the source of reviewer skepticism, that you face regardless of what application path you choose to follow.
Hello I am American citizen living in the Philippines I am in a relationship with a Filipino woman we are planning getting married and living in the USA how much does it cost for your help to bring her to the USA or how much does it cost for a spouse visa thank you
The present spouse visa support fee is $995 for the USCIS stage, followed by $495 for the State Department Stage. For details send your request to info@visacoach.com and ask for "Spouse Visa 101"
@@Visacoach Hello I am planning on go to the USA in May thank you
i wanna hire you so you can help me and my girlfriend can u tell me how?
Usually you first ask for "Spouse Visa 101" by sending your request to info@visacoach.com, and I confirm for you government and my fees, timing etc. Or if you already know that you can book a time to speak with me by using the calendar at www.visacoach.com/schedule/. I always
like to get to know my clients, and answer any questions, or clarify any misconceptions before we start working together.
will u help me fill the evidence and stuff? or after hiring you i also need to hire a lawyer?
I am like a world class tailor. I have the skill, talent, experience and sewing maching to make you a bespoke suit. But in order to do so you must give me the cloth. So I will ask you questions, you provide the answers, I fill in the forms. Based on your answers I give you checklists of the evidence that would support your case. You provide what you have. I combine your materials, answers, and evidence into the application we submit to US immigration, then I provide guidance as you go through the administrative process at US immigration. Typically, hiring my service is enough for the entire journey through to visa issuance. However if you have a situation that requires legal assistance, or legal advice, then you would need to use an attorney, as I can not provide legal advice, assistance or representation, as I am not an attorney.
He is not truthful.

Why?
