So does the updated i-864 Form needed to be sent during the interview?

 

 

 

I was told that it is not required unless they ask for it. I sent the updated I-864 to my wife anyway incase they ask for it at the interview.

Well yeah Egypt i can understand coz there is a lot of civil unrest going on there.

 

Should i call NVC after 2 weeks from case complete day ?

 

My case was completed on the 11th and I was calling once a week. The rep I spoke to was very helpful and he told me it is not necessary to call because NVC will send out an email right away once the interview is scheduled.

Hello fellow March filers and co-sufferers...  Last time I spoke to a tier 2 officer, she suggested I file an e-request. She said those go directly to USCIS and that I will have a chance to directly communicate with them (according to her, the call center people are not USCIS). In trying to file this e-request, I am presented with 2 choices, neither of which apply:

-Typographical error on a notice you received
-Non-Delivery of ASC Appointment Notice
Those of you who have filed a request, which did you pick? Were you presented with different choices?
 
Good luck and Godspeed to all.

 

anyone???

A VJ member got the PCC within an hour. Better to get PCC after receipt of NOA2 as no one can predict how long it will take to get NOA2 and how long before the interview will be scheduled. If you get PCC now, its validity may expire by the time you have your interview and you will have to get another one anyway.

 

thank you for your advice, i was hoping to cut down that week or 2 on mailing time...

April filer but want to add to the glass half ____ FULL!! There was more VJ I-130 approvals in this week than there has been in over a month.. I hope and pray that is a sign of things starting to speed up for us all.. I really hope everyone from March will get approved in August smile.png

 

thank you, good luck to you as well!!

I believe the PCC from India is valid only for 6months. So its better to wait, until you receive NOA2.

When did u file?

 

 

found this... 

 

 

4) USCIS sends I-130 approval notice called NOA2 to the petitioner and the case is forwarded to NVC in 1 to 2 weeks

Tip to speed up NVC: In order to save some time in NVC, obtain beneficiary's Police Clearance Certificates (PCC) at around the I-130 approval time. PCC may be valid for 1 year, 6 months, 3 months or even 1 month, so please check with the beneficiary's Consulate.

mailed out the i-130 package on 3/4/13, got my noa1 on 3/12.

 

i figure now is the good time because the pcc is only valid for 6 months and i will have it available before i receive the noa2. so shorten the wait time... thoughts?

Hi Dwheels,

 

I have one more question, my wife is coming in a few days and does she still need any of the proof of relationship stuff at POE?

 

I already paid for the green card and only received the receipt, does she need any sort of confirmation page at POE?

 

thanks again for your time in this process!!

Hello Dwheels,

 

do you know if the USC spouse can create a USCIS ELIS account and pay for the green card?

 

thank you for your time!

Is it normal for the embassy to call before Interview? I have my interview on May 8th and today I got 2 missed calls for US embassy in New Delhi. I called back but the person at the other end said whosoever called will call back again...just confused. ..People going thru New Delhi can chip in...thnks

 

 

perfectly normal, it happened to my wife and they never call back. whoever called will call back again is the same respond she got btw. They usually call and tell you what to bring to the OFC interview, which includes fingerprint appointment letter, interview letter, ds-260 confirmation page and passport.


gill8gNot TellingIndia2014-04-29 12:58:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMay 2014 Interviews

 

Me too. Do we need to bring doubles?

 

 

I don't think so, for OFC we need to bring, interview letter, ofc appointment letter, ds-260 confirmation page and passport.


 

She got her biometrics done today. All they asked was the DS-260 confirmation, biometrics appointment letter and her original current passport.
 

 

 

thank you for your respond. Did they call or email her what to exactly to bring?

Hello All,

 

Interview scheduled at NEW DELHI

 

I scheduled the OFC appointment for my wife in New Delhi. We received the confirmation email with instructions and the checklist for the required documents to bring. All the documents they requested at the OFC appt are the one they want us to bring to the actual interview so I am a bit confuse why they want those at the OFC.

 

Thanks,

Hello,

 

I am trying to schedule the fingerprint for my wife in new delhi

 

In step 5, i have a questioin regarding the mailing address/pick up for returned documents.

 

All returned documents will be sent to the address selected below. it is asking for a mailing address so should I put my wife?s india address or my USA address?

 

then the following page (specify documentation delivery) ask for the closest city office where all returned documents will be sent too..................am confused.

thanks,

hi

my mother-in-laws visitors visa to the US was denied. No big surprise there. (she is just a housewife and has no ties to prove return).

so we are considering visiting india so she can meet her grandson. (our son)
hes 10 months old now.

but.........im an so worried about taking him there.
there are so many things he will be exposed to there (meaning diseases) that he has does not have immunity for yet.

SOOOOO
Im wondering - how did others deal with this?
how old were your children before you took them to india the first time?

sam

Hi Sam:
I’m sure that I’m going to get the ####### kicked out of me for this but if you are going to take your son to India here’s what worked for me:
I’ve taken my children when each of them were pretty close to a year. I’ve gone over the Pacific (SFO –HKK-SIN –MAA), with the Hong Kong flight being 14 hours on a full SQ flight. Then I’ve flown with the other transatlantic on an empty Delta flight (good news) on the day that DL declared bankruptcy (the disappearance of your pension does wonders towards your outlook on life so there was a lot of snarling from the grandmas who were the stewardesses on the flights (with American carriers flight staffing is determined by seniority, none of the 25 year old cap imposed by the Asian carriers)
Specific tips:
Get the malaria prophylaxis started well before the trip.
Cough syrup works wonders for the long flight.
Try to get bulkhead seats.
Even if you are lucky enough that your son doesn’t use a pacifier, having something to suck on during take off and landing will minimize the pain.
Expect conditions to deteriorate on your connecting flight Three hundred Indians, free booze and the unique ability of Indians to trash a restroom – u get the picture – in other words don’t count on diaper changes in the plane’s bathrooms .
DO NOT FLY AIR INDIA.
After the travel saga:
Have whoever is meeting you bring odomos and spread liberally.
Boiled, filtered water.
Take a graco snugride with the base http://www.gracobaby...959110||1#/1740 (some of the cars may have LATCH). Ignore the laughter it made me feel a lot better when I had to put him into those little cars. Plus, you can take a little netting and bingo – mosquito protection.
Expect diarrhea; take a couple of Pedialytes with you.
Overall it will be a lot of fun. Use grandma and his jetlag to get some time for youselves.
Isaac
