IR-1 Visa Overview of the Application Process
Filing the Form I-130 or the Petition for an Alien Relative is the beginning of the application process. When the petitioner files this form, he or she needs to present the required evidences or the supporting documents as stated.
The petition will reach the United States and Immigration Services (USCIS) Lockbox in Chicago to start the processing. However, if the petitioner is residing in Thailand, he or she can file the I-130 at the USCIS with the US embassy in Bangkok. Then the petition will be forwarded to the National Visa Center (NVC) for another processing. After the NVC, the US embassy in Bangkok will schedule an appointment for the interview of the Thai spouse. But before the day of the interview comes, the spouse must complete his or her medical examination.
When the interview has been conducted and the Thai spouse successfully passed this, the IR1 visas are ready to be issued any time soon. And if the visa is handed to the applicant, he or she will be given the privilege and freedom to enter and live in the US with their loved ones permanently.
