US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionPolice Certificate - Saudi Arabia
Hello fellow VJers....I have searched for the previous posts the one Mew posted....unfortunately, it was not updated (last update was April 2003) for Saudi Arabia. It gave me the following info:

Saudi citizens and third country nationals residing in the Kingdom process the police clearances by first obtaining a police clearance request letter from U.S. Embassy Riyadh, U.S. Consulate General Jeddah, or U.S. Consulate General Dhahran. This police clearance request letter, signed by a consular officer, must be attested by the Saudi Ministry of Affairs (current fee is SR30). The applicant must then appear personally with a passport-sized photograph and a national ID or residency permit at the regional Criminal Investigation Department for fingerprinting. Fingerprinting for women is done in a separate room. The police clearance should be available for collection after a week or two.



I am currently working here in Saudi, country of origin: Philippines. I already stayed here for more than 6 months...police clearance is one of the requirements in the packet right? I don't know if the embassy would still require me to have it during the interview....


Any comments would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionUAE Interviews

Greetings!


Thats okay for you to go back to the Philippines from Riyadh that way youll have time to be with your family before migrating to the States.

After all ,renewing NBI is much easier in the Philippines. ( compared in Riyadh) too much hassles.

Griffin



Griffin, I am more than 6 mos. here, the embassy might look for my police certificate from Riyadh since I did not stay in PI for more than 6 mos (it's one of the requirements in the interview package right?). Nyways, m going to call US embassy Riyadh how to acquire this police certificate. Thanks....

p.s. with regards to Riyadh US Embassy might as well give them a call to make sure.


How i missed the City Of GOld, been there for 6 years.

Griffin



Griffin- Thanks a lot! I'll just call the US Embassy in Riyadh for the details of the police certificate....
God bless!!! :D

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionUAE Interviews

Yeah.. I am going through Abu Dhabi... you guys will too... Dubai is only for non immigrant visa's...and I am guessing since K1 is kinda with an immigrant intent I was told it will be held in Abu Dhabi


I've read all the posts....and m quite interested because m currently working here in Saudi. We addressed it in the Philippines (in the forms we sent to CSC) since I am just 7 months working here. I don't know if they will allow us to have the interview here in Riyadh... Does anybody have similar case like mine? M thinking how to get the police certificates here....really have no idea....this country is not as open as Dubai... :(

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionPOVERTY GUIDELINES

Household size depends on who depends on him for support, and who he claims on his taxes as dependents. If he claims only him self on ho his taxes then he will only count two on his Affidavit of Support him and the beneficiary that he is sponsoring.

I live in the same house as my parents, but they don't depend on my income for support, and so I will claim 2 on my I-134, and I-864 just me and my fiance, my parents don't factor in that calculation.




Thanks a lot for the info !!!!! (Yu and Dan, Luis and Laura). God Bless on your journey. :)

M quite confused as about the household size. My fiance earns almost $30,000 annually. He currently lives with his younger sister, mom and his step dad. Should he literally include everybody or just the one he supports? :help:

[quote name='BlueRain77' date='Nov 20 2006, 08:11 PM' post='577964']
"packet" 3 comes first (before the interview date) You have to fill out packet 3 (part 1) and send it back as well as make sure you have everything on a checklist and notify (I think by mailing that in as well) the embassy that you have all the paperwork you need for the interview. When they have that THEN they will send you "packet 4" with the interview date.[quote]

I think for US Embassy in Manila, they are only sending the Packet 4, instructions about the requirements for the interview up to medical, it's all in one.....

Thanks a lot! God bless you and your love on your journey.... (L)

[quote name='Ken_Maria' post='577665' date='Nov 20 2006, 05:59 PM']

Jenny, Be patient. From what I can tell, no one gets their packet until they actually have an interview date. The couples with the Aug dates and jan interviews will likely get their packets now. Your time line is very similar to ours and we are hoping for a Feb interview, no packet yet.
Proof of relationship... a few emails then a screen capture of your chat logs, cam or emails between you should be proof enough. I suggest taking pics this Dec and saving the Airline stubs, hotel receipts, phot copy the passport stamps...ect for the Christmas vacation.
For the I-134 AOS, he is only supposed to claim "his" dependents. Unless he claims his parents and siblings as his dependents on his incometax form, he has no dependents. Dependents in it's impliest form means children and/or spouse.
Good luck Payato

Thanks a lot Ken and Maria a.k.a. Payato....keep me posted when's your fiancee's interview date.....God bless!

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionINTERVIEW DATES ET. AL.
Hi All!


My fiance received a letter from NVC dated Nov. 6 notifying us they got our case and will be forwarded to the US embassy in Manila.

1) Just quite curious when will I receive the packet. I'll be having my vacation this Christmas so hopefully I could get it this Christmas.....(nice Christmas gift!!!!)


I have seen some people approved last August having their interview date in Manila in January next year. We 're approved last October 26.


2) Regarding the "proofs" for the interview, should I print the exchanged emails or only my fiance's email for me?


3) On the Affidavit of Support, household size would depend on the number of dependents stated on his tax documents? He's been living with his parents and younger sister. He told me that he did not put any dependents on his income tax docs..... (m not sure what's the term for this)


Sorry for so many questions......I would gladly appreciate your ideas!!!! Thanks in advance!!!!

National Visa Center (Dept of State)Need Advise

You said you received your NOA2 May 30th, Did you mean March or April as today is May 30th Posted Image


I am sorry! I meant April 30th!

National Visa Center (Dept of State)Need Advise
Hello guys!

First of all, thank you for being such a supportive community!

I received my NOA2 on May 30th, after waiting 15 business days I was told by a NVC representative to send a scanned copy of my NOA2 to nvcresearch@state.gov . On May 25th I received a response from the NVC Research Unit stating that my case was not found at all, because The USCIS did not send my petition.

The same day I called the USCIS and was told by a representative that the USCIS had definitely sent my petition, so the NVC should had entered my case on their system by now.

At that point I felt pretty much stuck in between the USCIS and The NVC, so I decided to call my congressman’s office and asked for help. This morning I received an email from the congressman’s secretary stating that my inquiry was sent out.

My questions are:

Has anybody gone through this same process?

Roughly how long did it take?

Does it really help that my congressman is contacting the NVC and USCIS?

Is there anything else I can do to get through this process quicker?

Thank you

National Visa Center (Dept of State)NVC Dragging Their Feet

Today is 4 weeks and 5 days, I called them and they only said "we have it and you will hear from us by mail for billing" should I have been more persistant and asked for case number??



USCIS California Service Center Sent my case to the NRC (National Record Center) instead of the NVC (National Visa Center)... At this point I would contact the congressman in your area and ask for help...

Hopefully, you have better luck, but its better to be proactive... Do not wait on the NVC...
KevymanuelMaleVenezuela2012-06-09 15:53:00

National Visa Center (Dept of State)Are you sure the NVC is to blame?

Ridiculous.. Did they give you any timeframe of how long it would take to get it from NRC to NVC!?

I just spoke to the NVC today. Asked if they received my petition, they said no. I asked if it was currently taking longer than normal and she said "Yea, right now it is. I don't know what's going on with the guys over at immigration. I think they're all on vacation or something. Give it til Friday."


Everytime I get a response I get a different time frame. First, NVC asked me to give USCIS 30 days. Then USCIS asked me to give them 45 days. Finally, my congressman's office said they told her that my file would be overnighted as soon as they get it.

I requested an update from my congressman's office yesterday, I will keep you guys inform.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)Are you sure the NVC is to blame?

How certain are you that those files went to NRC? the operators/supervisors just say the thing that you want to hear so we can get off their back.



I contacted my congressman, and they were told my file was sent to the NRC. I also received a response from NVCresearch@state.gov, and teh same information was given.

This is how I found out...
KevymanuelMaleVenezuela2012-06-18 11:46:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)Are you sure the NVC is to blame?

If the USCIS sent a few petitions to NRC by mistake I'd believe it, but i have kind of a hard time believing they've been sending truck loads of petitions to the NRC by mistake.

I'm sure this has to do with the CSC backlog last fall. CSC handles far more petitions overall than VSC, so when CSC has a huge backlog, and then works supersonic to handle that backlog all of a sudden, the system is bound to get clogged up further down.


I am not trying to imply that the CSC is sending trucks loaded with petitions. I am just saying that if you havent heard anything you should really pressure the USCIS and NVC through a Senator or congressman to find out where the application is.
KevymanuelMaleVenezuela2012-06-12 17:47:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)Are you sure the NVC is to blame?
Hello guys,

I wanted to creat this thread because I have noticed that a lot of us that were approved on late April or early May have not received a NVC case # and the NVC has not received our case. I don't know if the California Service Center is not really paying attention to where they are sending the approved cases to, or if maybe they have way too many apllications and this is causing the process to take longer.

Please use this thread to vent and to share your experiences; we are all going through this process together.

My case was approved on April 30th, after waiting 15 business days the NVC asked me to please send a scanned copy of my NOA2 to nvcresearch@state.gov. After waiting another 10 business days, I was informed that USCIS sent my file to the NRC instead of the NVC. A day later my congressman sent me an email verifying the information I was given by the NVC.

So, currently I am waiting for the NRC to send my case back to the USCIS so they can send it to the NVC...

Good luck to us all.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)Getting NVC case number

This waiting is killing me!! Mine is still not NVC, Let me know when you get your's.



Your case sounds just like mine... After I received the email from the NVC research unit I contacted my congressman and asked him to look into it... They just sent an inquiry to USCIS and the NVC to see if there is a problem with my petition...

You should do the same
KevymanuelMaleVenezuela2012-05-30 20:00:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)Starting to get pissed at NVC!!!
I know my case was more of an exception and not the rule... but for the last couple of months I was posting how awful and slow the NVC was. However, after contacting my congressman I found out that my case was sent to the NRC by mistake (USCIS officer error). I waited (not really I kept calling the NVC, USCIS, and my congressman almost everyday) almost two months, until my congressman notified my that my case was at the USCIS and would be overnighted to the NVC...

Once my case reached the NVC it took less than a three days for them to send it to the embassy.

So, do not wait for the NVC... the problem may be USCIS... Also, the approval time at the NVC stage may be affected upon whether your case is sent by itself, or if it is sent along with multiple cases.

Good luck to you guys... I know how hard it is, but keep up the faith

Africa: Sub-SaharanNairobi Embassy Thread!

Visa approved!!! We are so happy :dance: :dance: It was great being back in Kenya for a few days, too! Sifa will be coming at the end of February or beginning of March once he settles things with his job, visits family, etc. Yayayayay! I can't wait!!

As for the interview, it was really pretty easy - we were surprised how easy it was! We had a 7:00 appointment and got there before 6:00 am. We were 2nd in line, but they let us in first because I am a USC. They allowed me to go up to every window with him. First you go to one window to turn in paperwork, then to another for fingerprinting (the fingerprint machines were broken for a few hours while we were there - I think it took them close to 3 hours to fix them...but if they had been working I feel we would have been in and out in less than an hour considering how short everything else was!) We were called up for the interview almost immediately after fingerprinting. The guy who interviewed us was very nice.

He asked Sifa 3 questions: How did we meet? What kind of work does he want to do in the US? (Sifa said he wasn't sure yet, and the guy didn't have a problem with that) and what kind of work does he do in Kenya? Then he asked to see pictures of us together (I brought 10) and flipped through those quickly, then he said "everything looks good here" and to come back in a week to pick up the passport!

It is SUCH a relief to have this part of the journey ending and knowing that we will be living in the same country again soon! Thanks for your support everyone :)


Congratulations!! I am soooo happy for the both of you! Itsa nice to hear it was fairly easy! You guys give me hope!!! :) Cant wait till he is here!!

I am new to VJ and so excited to have found this forum!! The information here is great! My fiance lives in Nairobi and I will be out there to see him in May!! I cant wait. We wont be filing until next year after I return from my trip but I am loving reading the exeriences!! I had a question about the medical... is it possible to do the medical stuff when i am there in May even though we havent even filed the K-1 yet? i want to get everything we can out the way when I am there so everything can be smooth sailing. Thanks again Sub Saharan family!!


Welcome Cherish! Glad to see you here and thanks for taking time to look through the thread. I don't believe you can do the medical before you have even filed. They need a case number and they also ask you when your interview is. Of course I am not 100% but I wouldn't bet on it. You can always call the medical center and ask. How did you meet your fiance? I met my husband while I was volunteering as an artist/counselor in Uganda in 2007. Wow, that seems like ages ago!!! I agree with Lovehasnoborders--what a journey it has been, it all seems like such a breeze looking back but the waiting was torture!

Right now we are living in Salem, MA, I am working as a therapist and my husband is going to school and refereeing soccer games. He got is 2-year green card in August.

I am also happy to see this thread alive and well!

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresdoes the marriage have to be spontaneous?
I (US Citizen) plan on marrying my fiancee (from the UK) in December. We were planning for him to come and enter as a visitor in November and we planned to get married legally straight away. All of my family lives down in Mexico and we planned on throwing the party down there. If my fiancee enters on a tourist visa there is no problem with him visiting Mexico (as he has done before) so I don't think that will be a problem. After marriage we planned for him to return to the UK and begin the K3 visa process (although I am now considering the CR1 visa).

The thing is... that I read somewhere that the marriage has to be 100% spontaneous otherwise immigration will give us hell. Is this true? I personally don't see the problem with a marriage being planned..surely it has to be planned! I would really appreciate it if someone could clarify this for me.

@Nina+Matt: Es gibt kein Gesetz, das einem verbietet als Tourist in den USA zu heiraten...das ist voellig legal...jetzt kommt aber das grosse ABER...es ist nicht erlaubt, als Tourist einzureisen mit dem festen Vorhaben in den USA zu bleiben sprich einzuwandern...macht man Urlaub und es kommt zu einer Spontanheirat sieht die ganze Situation anders aus und man kann AOS (adjustment of status) beantragen ohne das Land verlassen zu muessen...allerdings muss man beweisen koennen, dass die Hochzeit ein spontaner Entschluss war, ansonsten kann einem visa fraud vorgeworfen werden. Um gar nicht erst in Verdacht zu kommen visa fraud begangen zu haben, koennte man nach der Heirat auch wieder ins jeweilige Heimatland zurueckgehen und dann ein spousal visa beantragen (eine Moeglichkeit waere das K3). Du sagst, dass Deine ehemalige Arbeitskollegin noch nicht verheiratet ist...das gibt ihr die Moeglichkeit zurueck nach Deutschland zu gehen und das K1 zu beantragen...allerdings weiss ich nicht, wie sich dann ihr overstay auf den Visaprozess auswirken wuerde...auch weiss ich nicht, ob ihr overstay Konsequenzen auf ein K3 haben koennte...was ich weiss ist, dass wenn man mit einem US citizen verheiratet ist und in den USA ist, einem jeglicher overstay vergeben wird...allerdings, wie oben schon beschrieben, muss man bei einer Hochzeit als Tourist bedenken, dass man genuegend Beweisgruende vorbringen muss, dass man bei der Einreise keine Einwanderungsabsichten hatte! Um das ganze zusammenzufassen, kann Deine Bekannte beweisen, dass sie nicht die Absicht hatte einzuwandern, wuerde ich ihr raten, zu heiraten und den AOS process zu starten...dann wuerde ihr auch ihr overstay vergeben werden...entschliesst sie sich fuers K1 oder K3 bin ich mir nicht sicher, ob da Probleme auf sie zu kommen koennten bezueglich ihres overstays.

Hallo an alle!

Ich haette da mal eine Frage bezueglich der Abmeldung bei der Meldebehoerde in Deutschland...laut Gesetz muss man sich ja innerhalb einer Woche abmelden bzw ummelden, wenn man umzieht oder gar das Land verlaesst. Ich bin damals als F1 student in die USA gegangen und habe mich nicht abgemeldet schliesslich hatte ich ja vor nach meinem Studium wieder nach Deutschland zu gehen...damals habe ich ja nicht wissen koennen, dass ich heiraten werde und hierbleibe... Als ich letztes Jahr ueber das Konsulat in SF mir einen neuen Pass hab ausstellen lassen, hat es auch keine Probleme gegeben. Mir ist nur gesagt wurden, dass ich wegen der deutschen Adresse im Pass eine erhoehte Gebuehr bezahlen muss...den neuen Pass habe ich dann auch ganz schnell bekommen...hat vielleicht 8 Wochen gedauert.

Nun da ich nach unserer Hochzeit und der ganzen AOS Angelegenheit offiziell zum Einwanderer werde, habe ich mir gedacht, dies waere ein guter Zeitpunkt, mich in Deutschland nachtraeglich abzumelden...Meine Mutter hat mir schon das dazu noetige Formular geschickt. Jetzt meine Frage, melde ich mich in Deutschland ab, ist der im Pass eingetragene Wohnort ja nicht mehr auf dem neuesten Stand... wuerde dadurch mein Pass an Gueltigkeit verlieren? :unsure:

Soll ich Eurer Meinung nach mich sofort nach unserer Heirat abmelden (oder sogar noch vorher) oder aber soll ich warten bis ich die greencard in der Tasche habe? Die meisten von Euch sind ja K1s, da habt Ihr Euch sicher alle vor Eurer Abreise in die USA abgemeldet...aber vielleicht kann mir der ein oder andere ja doch weiterhelfen :help: ...

Danke an alle fuer die schnelle Beantwortung meiner Reisepass-Frage. Einen neuen Pass werde ich also wahrscheinlich nicht beantragen, schliesslich ist mein jetziger noch 9 Jahre gueltig...das Einzige was ich vielleicht in Betracht ziehen werde, ist die Namensaenderung...das wuerde mich $26 kosten und erfordert keine Abmeldung in Dtl. (habe im dt Konsulat SF nachgefragt).

Wie eben bereits erwaehnt hatte ich gestern mein medical. Obwohl mein Impfpass ganz klar meine MMR Impfung aufzeigt hat der Arzt einen Titertest durchgefuehrt und mir dafuer nochmal $40 angerechnet :blink: . Ist einem von Euch so etwas auch passiert? Wie oft seid Ihr gegen MMR geimpft?

Ich glaube es ist Zeit, dass ich mich endlich mal offiziell vorstelle. Ich bin schon seit einiger Zeit jeden Tag auf VJ unterwegs, um alleserdenkliche ueber den AOS process herauszufinden. Alles began damit, als mir mein dann noch boyfriend einen Heiratsantrag gemacht hat :) Ich bin schon seit 2004 als F1 student hier und werde nach unserer Hochzeit am 27. April meine AOS application einreichen. Ich habe schon fast alle Unterlagen zusammen und gestern hatte ich mein medical.

Vielleicht kann mir jemand von Euch meine Frage zu meinem dt Reisepass beantworten. Dazu muesst Ihr wissen, dass ich erst letztes Jahr ueber das Konsulat in SF einen neuen Pass bekommen habe....ich bin noch in Deutschland gemeldet und mein Pass zeigt die Adresse meiner Eltern auf wo ich bis zu meiner Abreise in die Staaten gewohnt habe. Ich habe mich bereits im dt Konsulat erkundigt und fuer die Namesaenderung nach unserer Hochzeit muesste ich mich nicht abmelden...will ich aber auch die Adresse aendern, so dass mein Pass meine US Adresse anzeigt, muss ich mich in Deutschland abmelden (ich muesste meinen Eltern dann wohl eine Vollmacht schreiben, um das fuer mich erledigen zu koennen) .... und zudem muesste ich einen komplett neuen Pass beantragen....mein jetziger gilt aber noch 9 Jahre...was meint Ihr? Soll ich nur die Namesaenderung durchfuehren lassen? Oder aber gleich einen neuen Pass mit meiner US Adresse beantragen? Meine Sorge ist, dass wenn ich mich dazu entscheiden sollte nur meinen Namen im Pass zu aendern, dass es dann bei internationalen Reisen zu Problemen kommt, wenn die Adresse im Pass von der auf meiner greencard abweicht...

Ich hoffe, Ihr koennt mir hier weiterhelfen.
