US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionPolice certificate required for the medical?

For Thailand you do not need the police report to get the medical. Yes bring a copy of your NOA2, you should be able to scan it in and then email that and she can print it. That is a lot cheaper then mailing it. I think that is for the London medical you need that. Good luck.



Concur. Nan did not need the police report for the medical exam neither.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionThailand DS-2001, signed checklist confusion?

Hello AGAIN,

I'm having trouble posting. I'm sorry if this question is now in triplicate.

My fiance received the email 'Packet 3' link about two weeks ago from the consulate in Bangkok. We had all of our 'Packet 3' documents ready to go. Accordingly, (and very, very happily) we sent ' Packet 3'. Yesterday my fiance received a 'Packet 3' letter from the consulate with another 'Packet 3' link. Both links are very similar but slightly different. The email 'Packet 3' link requested a 'signed check list' but no DS-2001. The link included for Packet 3 in the letter from the consulate has a link that requires the DS-2001, but no 'signed checklist.' In sum, we sent in the 'signed checklist' as instructed by the email 'Packet 3' link, but not the DS-2001 as instructed by the letter from the embassy 'Packet 3' link. The 'signed checklist' and DS-2001 seem to be very similar in their intent.

Has anyone else experienced this? Do you know if this will be a problem? If so, do you know of any way to rectify this problem?

Arrgh...so close, yet so far!

Thank you again VJ members. It has been a very special experience to share this journey with all of you.

Sincerely,

Eric


Eric,

we had the same thing happen to us and we didn't have any problems. But Nan brought both forms to the interview just in case they asked. They didn't ask, but we were ready just in case. Remember, for the interview, bring all the forms and documents you can. Also bring copies of them, just in case they lost something and they ask you for another copy (it happens).

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionWhat is needed at interview time?

Good Morning VJ, here are my questions for the day:

So our case got expedited throught NVC and has made it to the consulate on the 2nd of September(courtesy of DLH tracking). My wife had her medical today and was told she would get her results on Monday. So far neither of us has heard anything in regards to the interview date. So here we go:

1. She was given paperwork saying she has to bring my original birth certificate to the interview, I haven't heard or seen that anywhere, I thought the passport copy would be sufficient.

2. If the case is expedited, will that been soon, or should I have waited to get the interview scheduled through NVC?

I guess at this point I am just getting anxious. Any and all advice is welcome:)

Bring everything they list in pk4, also originals of all documents submitted, also evidence of relationship, pic, emails, chats, phone records, etc ...even if you already submitted them before

US Embassy and Consulate Discussionevidence of ongoing relationship

Hello again,

Maybe just one more question...

So my fiancee's interview is coming up on Oct. 18. She created a beautiful picture album/scrap book of proof of an ongoing relationship since we submitted our 1-129F. However, it is in a traditional picture album format, including pictures, hotel receipts, plane ticket, train tickets, etc. from the six months we recently spent together while I was in Thailand with her as well as of our trip to Laos and Cambodia. In sum, it is large. After reading most of the consulate reviews here it seems like she will submit this evidence through a slot in the glass to the consular official. I don't think the album will fit. Should she take everything out of the album and put it in a format that will fit through the slot? Does anyone have any experience of submitting additional evidence on the day of the interview?

Thanks again,

Eric





Bring it all, just have it organized.

If they told me on Oct.5 that it would take 8-10 weeks from Oct.1, can I plan for a December interview?



I would not plan on anything. Maybe it will be earlier, maybe it will be later. I just want to wish you good luck. I hope your fiance found a good place to stay in Bangkok.

no, 3 years after becoming a permanent resident... you are a permanent resident whether or not you have the 2 year conditional card (1st card) or the 10 year card (2nd card)...


okay let me get this right. (sorry if this is not registering for me). We just got her adjustment of status. she's been here roughtly 3 years already. We can already apply for naturalization? am i understanding this correct?

look at the date on her green card... 3 years after that date she can apply to be a citizen... she became a permanent resident after her adjustment of status was approved and received her green card...


i'm looking at her green card, and is it 3 years when the card expires or 3 years where it says "resident since"?

Actually, as warlord said, it's up to 90 days earlier, not 3 months. To be safe, wait an extra day or two if there's any doubt.

And yes, this is in the box at the bottom of page 22 of the M-476.

QUOTE (M-476, page 22)
If you are applying based on 5 years as a Permanent Resident or 3 years as a Permanent Resident married to a U.S. citizen, you may file for naturalization up to 90 days before you meet the continuous residence requirement. For example, if you are applying based on 3 years of continuous residence as a Permanent Resident married to a U.S. citizen, you can apply any time after you have been a Permanent Resident in continuous residence for 3 years minus 90 days. You may send your application before you have met the requirement for continuous residence only. Therefore, you must still have been married to and living with your U.S. citizen spouse for 3 years before you may file your application. You must also meet all the other eligibility requirements when you file your application with USCIS.

Thanks.


Hi,

From my experience, I can request wherever country I want for the interview. I was in Riyadh while my K-1 visa was processed and I chose to be interviewed in PI since it's way more comfortable for me since I have the support I needed from my family. You can choose any embassy in the country that you're in though, you can request or call them about it.

hi vj,i've been working in saudi arabia for 3 and half years,i just came home (philippines) last june 2 2011.
im now out/exit from said country.do i realy need police clearance from saudi arabia for k1 visa?is there any other option to present that i dont have any criminal records from said countyr?aside from police clearance.can i present employment certificate instead? pleas help,,,


Hi,

I think you can ask the Saudi Embassy in PI for that. I wasn't able to present a Saudi police certificate for my Dad but I stated in the packet that it's not possible to have it since you have to be physically present and have a working visa for you to acquire a police clearance in Saudi. My dad went home 2 years before I applied for IR-5 visa.

I was able to get it during my I-129 application but I was still working there that's why I was able to get it.

You can go ahead and inquire at Saudi Embassy so you have something to show at the USEM during your interview. God bless !

QUOTE (Waiting4GC @ Mar 4 2008, 09:14 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I had my naturalization interview today. Everything went very well. My husband had to be there with me because my 1751 is still pending. The officer just asked some general questions on my application to make sure everything was still current. She asked to see some proof of joint resindency and of our life together. Then she asked 3 / 4 questions about our relationship and then we moved onto the test. I was asked 6 questions, I had read one of them and then I had to write a sentence.

She is recommending the approval and said that there is one more security check that needs to be done before she can approve my case. She said that I should get a letter in the mail in a couple of weeks and that the oath ceremony will probably be within 3 months.

When I asked about the security check she said that it was local and that it should only take a couple of days and it should not delay anything.

Hopefully everything will continue to go as good as it has so far.

My I-751 is also pending. Did your interview letter say that your husband had to come with you, or did they send a separate letter about the pending I-751?

Today I had my interview. It was a breeze really. My husband was with me because of the I-751 not being approved yet. We never got a letter that he had to be there, but we thought better safe than sorry. My husband was never called in, he was in the waiting area the whole time. The officer went through my A-file and asked if we were happily married. I said yes and I told him that my husband is right outside if you want to meet him, but he said that wasn't necessary. Then he continued to ask the have you ever-questions. I wrote one sentence, and then he asked me 10 questions from the list. He did ask all 10. He never asked to see any of the documents I brought. He congratulated me to passing the test and being recommended for approval. He said to wait outside a few minutes to get the result receipt. When I got it I asked how long before the oath and he said it will be in mid July, they do it once per month in San Diego.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionColombia Club Part II

dleeg,

As for most instructions in English posted by the US embassy on their web site, they differ from the instructions found in the Spanish version. The Spanish instructions don't mention anything about bringing the original certificate along with a certified copy. The beneficiary only needs to bring the original or certified copy of their birth certificate. They can get it from the notary where the birth was registered and that's all they need because many times an original is close to impossible to get. I was born in Colombia and don't have my original birth certificate and every time I go to the notary I was registered, they only give me a notarized copy since the original is not available.

Diana


Thanks Diana!

Hi
I was reading packet 4 tonight to just make sure I know it inside and out (my fiance has her interview on 6/22). When I came to "List of Documents" I was a little concerned for the birth certificate. My fiance used a photo copy of her birth certificate when we first filed the I-29F, complete with folio and notarized in July 2010. But as you can see below (from packet 4 off the embassy website) it mentions "Applicants must present the first/original copy......." and so on. I assume what she used for the I-29F application will be fine for the interview? I can't remember is she has the original or not, I think not, It's too late to call Colombia at this hour and since I'm obviously obsessing about it I thought I'd ask.
Thanks!


BIRTH CERTIFICATES: Each applicant must present an original or a notarized copy of his/her birth certificate. A copy of the Folio is required. The date and place of birth, parents‘ names, and date the birth was registered must be included. We do not accept ‘short form’ birth certificates, as they are not official extracts from government records. Applicants must present the first/original copy of their birth certificate in addition to the replacement version if it replaced an older version. The visa will not be approved until the applicant brings copies of ALL the versions of their birth certificates.

When I got there it was apparent the situation was not good, and to make a long story short she passed away on 5/6. Of course there was a funeral to plan and a mountain of other things to handle. We had to cancel the interview, cancel flights, cancel everything because I was in Colorado until 5/21. So now the interview is set for 6/22. It has been an interesting journey no doubt. Francys has been my rock through everything and continues to be my biggest supporter though she is so far. We have become closer and more in love through all these setbacks. We have both been patient knowing our day will come. The crazy thing is that this has been the saddest time of my life losing my mother. We were very close, talked everyday and we had a great relationship. And on the other side it has been the happiest time of my life because of Francys. It has been difficult to find a middle ground. I am looking forward to my trip to Colombia and I hope to report good news soon!

This is similar to my story. My Father and I talked daily about my Wife and life in general. He watched after my dogs when I was in Barranquilla, brought in the mail, added chemicals to the pool, etc. He had been prompting me to send in my I-129F, but I had to wait for the extra money to do so. Just a few weeks before I was able to send in my initial Fiance Visa packet, he took ill and within 13 days lost his fight with Pancreatic Cancer. I tended to my Father throughout his ordeal in the Hospital, answered all questions and talked to him as he began to decline. 1 week after his funeral, I completed and sent in our K-1 Visa package. 9 weeks later, I took my Mother to Barranquilla to meet her future daughter-in-law. This really cheered her up through such a rough period of time. Here are a few pics, amigo!
