National Visa Center (Dept of State)NVC - passport Photo - ? SiZe ?
Definitely understand. I felt like Alice in Wonderland.....I mean, they are simple 5x5, white background and what not. But yes it is important to take the measurements and instructions with you and make them read it. I mean, I definitely dislike being in any way even little forceful so I was really nice even when telling them there was an issue with the photos. Good luck and no worries, i am sure that once they understand what you are after and that in no way you mean to tell them they are doing a bad job, you should be fine :) By the way I was amazed at how identical our problems were.

All the best !

Also, clearly I am not from Morocco but they should all be able to put their camera on the right setting and print them out and adjust it the way it is needed.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)NVC - passport Photo - ? SiZe ?
Hey,

I had the same issues in the Czech republic. Went to one place, told them what I needed, had it even written down and printed but the woman didn't care to look at it since "she knows what she is doing" so I took them paid got home and went to another place to get them done....as crazy as it might sound...they also made a mistake on the pictures ...so I went back to the first place again with all the print outs, made sure she is truly listening to me this time told her about her previous mistake and she made the new ones for me for free. So I say, go to the same place and just make sure you explain it to them and that they are listening !
Yes its 5cm by 5cm, white background, also there is specific guide as to how big head should be so make sure you tell them. If you can measure it according to the guides you have with you right there in the place it would be great ( I took my own ruler too :wacko: ). That is how I did it at the end ( I felt horrible but....traveling from city to city for a week is no fun haha) .

Good luck, hope this helps.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)Month and Date of employment/School

i always estimated although all the diplomas should have a date. 

 

work dates i remember the most recent ones by month not exact date, older ones i may have been a month off sometimes..i do not think it is a big deal. 

 

but that is just my opinion.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionInterview documents
Whatever you sent in with your application will get forwarded to the consulate BUT it is always good to have copies and what not should they lose anything on the way (not that they will but all is possible).
Any advice you will read here will tell you - always make a copy of the whole package. How come you cant get phone call documentation and other things ?

Let's hope nothing gets lost on the way and you will be fine :)

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionQuestion regarding DS 156

Hi guys,

 

I just received the instructions for K1 visa application. The embassy sent me all the forms but what seems somewhat odd (to me anyways) is the fact that they sent me the DS 156 form in duplicate, in czech...I thought it was to be filled out online ? I am thinking  - if these forms will be reviewed at the POE they wont have a clue what any of the words mean. Besides...wasn't there a bar code generated after filling out the form ? 

 

I still intend to fill it out online and make two copies and fill out the czech version by hand as well....just thought I would ask if anyone has had any experience like that ? unsure.png

 

thanks in advance

J.

CanadaQuestions about Immunization/Medical
Hey there,

I cannot answer all of your questions but as for the tetanus shot...I am in the same boat. Had my last shot in 1993 and I don't have a family doctor here since I lived in another country. So what i did is:
I went to a doctor (random that my sister goes to) and asked for tetanus shot - you get 3 shots, second is 4 weeks after the first and then i believe third is 6 months after. I don't think not having the last shot would be a problem ?
You can always get the last one in the US once you are there should the timing not work out ? That is how I figured it would work anyhow. I hope I am right.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsVSC updated timeline

Hi guys! Anyone knows about CSC processing time as of this month?



Hey, I have been wondering about the same thing. (I think our timelines are quite similar) From what I see on VJ timelines....nothing is happening at CSC...standstill. :( I have decided to stop checking because it is getting a bit depressing. I shall check again after New Year's (even I do not believe that I can hold out till then as I am typing it haha).

Good luck !!!

hey,

don't look at VJ. There is some issue with the timeline, people called and they are processing mid July. VJ is not official and has nothing to with the actual processing times. The last person who posted about calling them was
told they are processing mid July and to put in a service request on the 4th of Jan. Good luck.

just click on the picture itself and it will take you to a website where you can set it up and then just copy and paste the link into your settings . I think there is a number of website that offer that service, I used timeticker I think.

oops I used tickerfactory.com

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportscalling USCIS before overdue date
Personally, I don't think there is any reason to call. You are at 4 months and If I am not mistaken the processing average is no longer 5 months at CSC ...they are currently working on second half of July and some August filers were also approved. I think most of us are pretty much expecting to wait 7-8 months on average. I do not think your case will go any faster if you call them.
JTB11FemaleCzech Republic2013-02-19 05:08:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI-129F FIVE Months and NO answer?
I think the 4 month wait is far from being current. If you do a quick search or just go straight up to the forum on service centers, you can see numerous threads on extended wait times and how there is a lot of people waiting 7 months and up. We got our NOA2 September 5th and are not expecting any news for the next 2 months.

Good luck !
