Updating my NOA date. Online status says 'initial review'. Anybody knows what are the time frames for Houston office lately ? I see very few folks whose FO is Houston.

Filed based on marriage

1-  Front and back copy of the Resident card (GC)
2 - Two photos taken as instructed
3 - Marriage license
4 - Passport copy of spouse (Inside cover and the one with the signature)
5 - Birth certificates of children



 

Field Office : Houston TX

N-400 sent Lewsville,TX : 12/05/13

N-400 rec'd : 12/9/13

Sent in Cashier's check so unable to track.

 

Since I did not file G1145, so waiting for the next correspondence which I assume would be the case number. Is that correct ?

DebbyNSeyi Thanks for clarifying about sending in the tax transcripts for romnick :) .  Instructions clear on any one document needed to establish husband wife relationship. Children's birth certificate is listed as one of the options.

Hi All...Sent in N-400 on Dec 5th received next day Dec 6th to Lewisville Tx. Applying based on married to a US citizen. Wish I had known about G1145. Also sent in cashier's check so no way to track the check either.

Sent the following items along with the application

 

1-  Front and back copy of the Resident card (GC)

2 - Two photos taken as instructed

3 - Marriage license

4 - Passport copy of spouse (Inside cover and the one with the signature)

5 - Birth certificates of children

 

I believe that covers it all for the application based on being marrried to a US citizen ...Waiting game begins. Wish all of you luck!

Getting a little worried here. My last update was from Jan. 13 for being in line for interview...still no update after that  :clock:

 

NY offices seem to be fairly erratic. Hang in there ! It should be just around the corner

There are dime a dozen Android apps for Interview questions..Any particular one which anybody would like to recommend or used  ?


Had the interview today here in Chicago.
The experience was quite pleasant actually. Check-in (1st floor first, then on the 3rd floor) was efficient at 5 and 1min waits. The seating area not overly crowded and was called in at the scheduled appointment time.
The officer was very open and friendly. The interview itself started with the typical oath to be truthful, then showed the IDs and we went right to the test. 6 questions asked and answered, a sentence to read and another to write. Passed.
Then onto the review of my file. He asked a few questions here and there (where did you meet your wife? did you file your taxes?), mostly about facts that were already in the application. In the end I did not need to show any of the extra documents I had brought (tax transcripts, birth certificates, &cet.). Sign the application. Lastly he printed out a form with the information that will show up on the naturalization certificate.
Total interview time 16mins.
 




Almost done!

 

Congratulations! Seems like a smooth ride for you in that chicago office

Same here for your peace of mind go to track it and see how others are doing at your local office... According to what I've seen I am supposed to get it any minute now since people who applied a week before me already got it and in the trackit timeline I'm next so I guess it should be later this week or early next week tired of waiting though inline since 2/19

 

Hi Paulettex.. just have a feeling that your interview date will be 5th or 6th of May :)

 

Hang in there!

Raza what I've read and a friend of mine told me is very consistent after interview they will ask you to wait and then they will come out with the oath paper right there in there for Houston they normally do not send it to you by mail that's why I'm telling you when they give it to you look at the date and hopefully will be for April if not tell them to please schedule you for the April ceremony and they will do it for you

 

Thanks Paulette. Based on how houston is moving now, your letter should be just around the corner.

Take absolutely everything you have with you if you have kids together take their birth certificate also even if you already sent those documents takes bank account tax return everything there are only two cases that I've read that did not receive oath letter same day one because didn't bring divorce document from previous marriage and had to send it by mail and second case the lady at the interview had nothing organized and the person had to provide everything again even with providing everything at the time of interview took them two weeks to put them inline for oath

 

Agreed. As a matter of fact been explicitly asked to bring in the birth certificates of children together and marriage license and so forth. Absolutely take everything relating to your marriage and being together.

Raza that's great news as far as I know the oath for Houston for April is on the 23 if you are lucky they might schedule your oath for that date... Most cases I've read from Houston receive oath letter after the interview if you want to or if you see they out you for May you can ask then nicely to do it in April and they will arrange that for you that happened to a friend of mine and they did it for him... Time to study!!!

 

Thanks Paulettex for the oath date heads up! Hopefully they will assign april date on their own :) . By the way If they assign you a date for oath through the letter then how would I know whether they are talking about April 23rd or one in May ? I suppose for the april date they would have to tell me right then and there, since there will not be enough time for the letter to reach

I also have a few questions:

 

1. The letter says that the process could take about two hours!!. Does it really take that long?

2.I am applying under 3 year rule. Does my husband have to attend my interview?.

3. The document check list asks pretty much for evidence of residence and marital life, should i just bring all documents we have together again?, I had sent all these before when we filed for I-751.

 

I guess i am just anxious .

 

1 - I took a friend of mine to the interview process about 7 months ago and it took him about 1.5 hours before he was all done.

2 - Since I applied under the same rule, interview letter clearly states to bring in your spouse's birth certificate OR certificate of naturalization OR  current passport. Physical presence of spouse is not explicitly asked.

3 - Whatever you sent along with the application, bring with you all the originals that you sent with application.

 

Hope this helps

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionEvidence to join to Support Form Document - Help!
Quick questions for all you vj-ers,

The documents that serves as evidence for the Affidavit of Support, do they need to be originals, or can they be copies?

Also, can I blank the bank account on the bank information letter or should I leave that there?

Fianlly, will these documents be given back to me after the interview or does the consulate keep them?

Thank you for your help, I'm trying to answer my co-sponsor's questions, and couldn't find the info in other forums.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionI-134 :((( help ( urgent)
What visa are you applying for? I'm sorry, I just don't understand the part about the brother and sister-in-law...
Are you talking about your fiance having an ex-wife and child that he supports?
I'd be glad to help, but as of now it's a little too confusing...
If your fiance has a child (dependent) than I would think that that is included in the household size...

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionMontreal Interview!

I went to check to see if I could reschedule my interview at Montreal as the site has been not letting people book for a while now. Anyway, I went to book for May 4th and then it canceled my June appointment and also canceled the May one I just booked! I don't understand why it did that!!! Now the site is down again! I am getting so frustrated!


Wow, what a mess!!! What does DOS say when you call them about it? I guess I was in the *lucky* batch of people that had to wait for Montreal to give an appointment. Wasn't this new system supposed to be more efficient? :bonk:

Hang in there!

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionPROOF OF RELATIONSHIP?
Seems like a great proof of relationship to me! Do you have anything in both your name? Like life insurance or what not? Pictures are good to have too. What about e-mails, plane tickets, or things like that from visits?
Do you have the birth certificate for your child? It should have both your names on it, correct? I'd bring that too!

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionPlease help Medical Interview Tuesday

This question is probably answered somewhere in another forum...but the more I read the more confused I get

 

My fiancee is from the Phillipines.  She is going to St Luke's on Tuesday for her medical interview for a K-1 Visa.  We called NVC and got our case number, but never did get packet from embassy.  From what I read on this site, you can go ahead and call to schedule interview and get the medical exam without packet from embassy as sometimes they don't send it,

 

According to St Luke's clinic web site, one of the required documents is Visa Interview Appointment letter from the Embassy or Instruction letter from the National Visa Center (NVC).  She has a print out of the confirmation / appointment Letter for the interview date and a copy of the letter I got from NVC telling me the visa has been approved and sent to embassy.

 

Will this be enough documentation?  Anybody else go for medical without receiving packet from embassy

 

Thanks for your input

good.gif You're good to go..

 

Sounds like we are good then.  I really appreciate everyone's input

 

I do have one more question...I completed the forms required for the interview with the embassy (DS-156, DS 156K and DS-157, affadavit of support, etc) and sent to fiancee.

 

I thought my fiancee just took these forms with her to her interview.  I have seen other post mention courier.  Do she need to send the forms to the embassy ahead of time or just take them with her to the interview?  Are there anything we need to submit online.

 

Thanks for all your help! 

 

 

GOODLUCK!!!

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionNon or Immigrant Visa

Hello, I'm a K-1 filer and we are trying to schedule our embassy interview online. I realize a K-1 is non-immigrant, but while checking on our NVC status I had to use Immigrant in the options. Now, for making the appointment; which option do I pick?

For scheduling online,.. select the Immigrant option.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionVisa Approved at U.S. Embassy, Manila but still Administrative Processing

I think i might saw one of your fiancees during my interview,idea9dv.gif  i was there too June 24 with my son. I have been on READY status for like 10 business days. One day on AP, then ISSUED the next day, when i saw that it was Issued , right away i got an email from USEM saying they have issued our visa. I just thought the setback was because they didn't have my son's medical result during our interview.  Now we're on 3 days ISSUED and just got a text from unknown number this afternoon that saying " Document released for pickup/delivery". We'll call 2Go tomorrow to double check. Hopefully yours will be soon, they are working on it now... Good luck!!!!

US Citizenship General DiscussionPassport application for my K2 - PARENTAL CONSENT???

When i applied for my son's passport. They asked for my court order. Custody is mine, DFA in charge read the finality and highlighted the custody statement. And then i got my son's passport in less than a month. Me being so assuratic( not in dictionary, just made this word-means wants to make sure with everything) individual , i secured a notarized letter from the father of my son surrendering his rights and permitting my son's travel to the united states., but this letter was no use., embassy did not bother to ask about the bio father. Why not call DFA and ask what exact docs they need if you don't have the sole custody, a letter from the bio father, might do something. who knows...

United KingdomUS Government Shutdown - affect on visa interviews and visa issuance?

From washingtonpost.com:

 

During the previous shutdown in 1995-1996, around 20,000 to 30,000 applications from foreigners for visas went unprocessed each day. This time around, the State Department is planning to continue processing visas through the shutdown, since those operations are largely funded by fees collected.*

 

Thanks God...I'll have my interview on Oct 17...

I know not every embassy is the same nore the cases...Just wanted to add my perspective

The USEM is going to require an NBI report - as you have already stated.  I forget whether you can carry that in for the interview or you may have to have it sent directly to the USEM.  As far as a police certicate being needed only if you have resided in another country for 6 months or more and it must be send directly to the USEM

I see...thank u so much idea9dv.gif

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionDoes the appointment letter from the embassy really matter???

Yes, you can schedule your appointment. As long as you have your MNL# and you have paid at BPI then you can login online and schedule your interview. It took my fiancée two months from her petition approval to receive her packet from the embassy.

You can print put your appointment letter from the website right after your schedule your interview. They ask for copies at SLEC.


What is packet 3.5? Are you talking about USEM?
