US Citizenship General DiscussionN-400 FILERS - MAY 2012
Hello guys I heard a rumor and I don't know if it's true, but I heard that USCIS is trying to push these applications fast in time for elections. If that's the case it shouldn't take more than 4 months. Can anyone confirm?

I thought a false claim of USC would automatically get you deported when you go to your N400 interview?

How did they know he claimed to be a US Citizen? What was said to him after the interview? From what I understand he may be deported as it sits now because of his claim.

US Citizenship General DiscussionExtended Review after Husband's Naturalization Interview?

Totally agree with u! He loves to give those kind of unnecessary answers. First we pay that I.O salary, so we are entitle to a decent service. after all we are paying every possible fee there is out there it's not like the government it's giving citizenship away for free. And if she feels the process has take longer than it should she should be able to do whatever she can in her power. My mom taught me that IF U DONT HAVE anything NICE to say, DON'T SAY nothing at all.

Yeah I agree. Some people here think ther ####### don't stink. If I'm paying $680 I'd expect decent service. And I think we should be allowed and should get answers to our questions from I.O. Without having to worry. This is not Nazi Germany...

Australia and New ZealandMedicals with Sydney Panel Physicians

Hey, does anyone know if we could book an interview appointment in advance with Sydney Consulate? Or do we have to wait until we get the letter from them stating the interview date they have scheduled? Just curious :)

Yup, you can do the medicals even prior to NOA2 receipt or even w/o the case number, but take note that these must still be valid at the time of entry to US. You can make an appointment a month before your expected receipt of NOA2, just to make sure.

When I called the doctor for appointment, they told me to better go to GP first for the ff: 1) flu vaccine - $30 2) Boost Rix - $30, and 3) Blood work or serology test (Medicare free) to make sure i'm vaccinated for measles, mumps, rubella and varicella, since it will be cheaper in GP. Then, you have to bring a letter from GP stating you had all of the vaccines & the blood work results. Aside from that, I was asked to bring 3 passport photos and my passport to the doctor. For the varicella or chicken pox, if you're not sure if you were vaccinated yet, better do it soon, as it needs two shots, where the 2nd shot is done 4-6 weeks after the 1st shot.

My medical examination only took an hour (Dr. Millar in Sydney)- physical exam & urine test etc ($242), chest x-ray ($65), blood test ($31). Medical results will be sent in one week. But I also brought with me after the examination the x-ray film (and result), medical payment receipts, and the medical examination instructions from US consulate with signatures of the medical examiners - this one is important and the document we show to the consulate. Also from the document, it states that testing for HIV infection is no longer required and HPV and zoster vaccines (effective Dec 2009) are removed from the required vaccines.

Hope that helps too! :)

Australia and New ZealandQuestion About Packet 4
Ok, thanks for the replies :)
SnickerzNot TellingAustralia2011-05-16 19:17:00
Australia and New ZealandQuestion About Packet 4
Hi all,

The Packet 4 email correspondence from Sydney Consulate includes a Checklist for Day of Interview, and I just have some clarifications for the following instructions they sent:

1. "Please ensure that the panel physician provides you with a copy of Form DS-3025, Vaccination Documentation Worksheet as part of your permanent health record. You should hand-carry this document with your sealed visa package and any other medical paperwork. If you did not receive a copy of the DS-3025 Vaccination Documentation Worksheet we can provide one for you at the time of your interview."

-> I'm quite confused with this instruction since I already sent them my original Medical Results package including DS-3025 and the originals signatures from the panel physicians in the Packet 3. Do I have to worry about it and email them that I already included this in Packet 3 sent to them or just ignore this? I am planning to bring the photocopies of it though in the interview.

2. 2 Passport Photographs and they listed the following photographers only:
LIST OF PHOTOGRAPHERS:

Sydney City Royal Express Shop 22, (Food Court Level) , MLC Centre, 19-29 Martin Place 02-9223-9006
Sydney City Photoland 102 King Street 02-9221-2296

-> Does this mean I have to re-do my passport photographs since I never did mine with the above 2 photographers?


Also, from the checklist they requested from me in addition to above the passport, visa fee of $350 and express post platinum envelope.

Thanks! :)

Did you get into contact with Dr. Millar? I had the same thing on my forms, but have since completed all my shots with my local GP who has kindly given me a medical certificate stating the shots I was given, the dates i had them and certifying that I am now up to date :)



Heya, I am planning to call them tomorrow after my 2nd chicken pox shot, so that I can update Dr. Millar that I did it and if they want me to send any additinal documents to them etc...I'll update you about it tomorrow :)

Good luck on your interview tomorrow!!! let us know how it goes :)


Hi just an update, I called Dr. Millar and the lady there said to just bring with me the evidence of the 2nd shot from my GP to the US, so there's no need for them to update the vaccination form they gave us...I asked if she can give me a copy of the vaccination form to bring to the US, since what I have are photocopies, and she said photocopies are fine.

Thanks....I did call them to ask. Apparently ticking 'insufficient time interval' is 'standard procedure' when they have an incomplete vaccination history, and you are given a blanket waiver for those vaccinations (when I had another look at the record...they have actually ticked 'insufficient time interval' for ALL of the vaccinations I had just had done! MMR, varicella and Tdap). How exactly you have an 'incomplete vaccination history' when you have just brought them proof of having had the vaccinations done the day before the medical, I don't know! I guess the MMR and the varicella are still classed as incomplete because you need to have two of each to complete the series I think. But the Tdap one still has me confused. I didn't think that not completing the series would be that big a deal since I read in the instructions for civil surgeons guide that only the first shot in a series needs to be given in order to get the visa approved..but they are to strongly encourage the immigrant to finish the series once they re-settle in the US. Doesn't seem like that is the case for you though right now!


Hope you can get it sorted out soon!!


Hi, I also went to Dr. Millar and had Tdap and Varicella ticked under 'insufficient time interval'
I would understand for Varicella since I'm still getting the 2nd shot this 16th May...
So, is there anything we need to do or update in the form before flying to US?
But I guess I will have to call Dr. Millar too for clarifications

Thanks again Vanessa :) They didnt ask my legal status either - just for a copy of the marriage certificate and my social security number. He told them at the time I didnt have one yet and they said fine just let us know when she does. We rang them last night and they said there was no stand down period or anything, that I was covered from the day I was added to the policy so am a very happy camper right now :)

Especially since, my big news, I was told I would never be able to have a child. Well Im pregnant, at the age of 40!!!! Now who would have thunk it!! Happy jiggy dance :D

Australia and New ZealandShipping costs Aus to USA
Hi all, I'm just wondering if anyone can share their recent experience of shipping stuff to US (from Sydney)? If they can recommend a cheap & efficient way of shipping?

I'm still quite confused and stressed out on how to ship my stuff - mainly clothes, shoes, bags & electronics...

But I was thinking of checking in my monitor & computer...it's sooo hard to let go of my things especially clothes hehe

Australian Post cheapest option is sea cargo - 20 kilos for $197, but tracking is not available and there's no pick-up from home...I have also requested for a quote from Pack & Send, and they quoted $686 for 60 kilos, but I don't have any experience with Pack&Send and they can pick-up the boxes from home which is good....I have also read somewhere that excess baggage is also recommended?

Australia and New ZealandNSW Police Check - Which Form?
Thanks guys for the info! I brought to the police station the P800 form I printed out from the NSW website, as well as the US Consulate website page stating that we should use P800 full disclosure form, including the page stating that we should send all the requirements together ourselves in the packet to US consulate, so when I showed these to them it was all fine and I had my home address as the delivery address for the police clearance, so it's all good, just waiting for our NOA2...

Australia and New ZealandNSW Police Check - Which Form?

ok, i might just just go into the police station and ask for the forms today.. see how i go, thanks for that.. not sure if qld and nsw forms are the same but ill look into it.. cheers


Hi, just wondering how your visit was to the police station?
I went to the local NSW police station last week, and they gave me form P799, I told them it's for US visa purpose & the Consulate would need it.
At the back of the form it says, Form P799 - is standard disclosure, for general employment, visa, adoption, etc. and Form P800 - is full disclosure, for purposes exempt from the NSW
Criminal Records Act 1991, including employment as a teacher or teachers aide overseas.

So, I got confused and not sure if I have the right form that they gave me, so should I tell the police station to provide me P800 form instead?

Also, they would send directly the clearance to the Consulate and not to me. This is quite a problem since I want the police clearance processed early, so that this
becomes available on time when i have to send the packets to Consulate, and to avoid long delays. Anybody who can share their recent experience on this? Thanks! :)

Just wondering if anyone here is from Antigua, West Indies? or anyone who is requesting a police certificate in Antigua?
I have sent my requirements to the police, and its been 2 weeks already and when I called them, they haven't received my mail yet...

Just worried that it might take too long or if my requirements were misplaced :(

Any oppinions or words of advice?
Thank you so much in advance

Why Mexico City??? There are so many beautiful and safe places in Mexico. There are many great places on the Gulf of Mexico. Why not some other country? Colombia, Chile, Ecuador, Panama... There are many wonderful places to go that are more fun and safer than Mexico City.

Does the affidavit of support have to be notarized? On the instructions it says no, but on a consulate packet it says yes. I'm freaking out because there is no way I can get a notarized affidavit of support to my fiance before his interview ON MONDAY! we just found out TODAY about his interview date so there is nothing I could have done earlier!

Kristin is correct. No notary required.

Since I was in the same situation as you were when I filed I sent a copy of the marriage certificate with a copy of the translation and two affidavits signed by my mother and siter. Here are the affidavits I used.

It's in Spanish, but I can translate it and post it on the Forum if you like. Take care and good luck with all of your visa journeys.

Congratulations jpcanon on the I129f approval.

Does any one know if the US Bogota Embassy keeps the original Pasado Judicial. My wife just received her Visa package from Domesa and the Pasado Judicial was missing.

Thanks.


Omar, I don't know who keeps any of the documents the embassy doesn't give back but you won't ever see them again unless you file a form to get the back. It doesn't matter anyway because you won't need them anymore.

By the way, did you guys open the envelope the visa sent you via Domesa? If you did, you're going to have to go back to the embassy to have it sealed again because you're not supposed to open it. The only person authorized to open the envelope is the POE officer here in the US.

Diana


Thanks Diana, the only one that was opened was the Domesa envelope, which inside came a Letter of Instructions regarding the other sealed envelope, SSN info, my wife's passport, and the Sealed envelope. Are you telling me the that Domesa envelope should have never been opened? Then how does one manage to get out the passport so one can travel to the US ?

Oh dude, don't get me started with Dr. Roa and his staff, I can go on and on for days. mad.gif

Diana


So Diana, avoid Dr. Roa at all cost. How are the ratings for the Dra. Gonzalez ?

Just a quick update...Alexandra leaves Cali for Bogota on Saturday night (the long bus trip). She has quite a bit to do in Bogota before the 28th interview. I did work it out to go to the interview, I am flying into Bogota on the 27th and leaving the 29th. I feel much better now. I hope we have our things in order, but man you can worry yourself to death, over details, oh is this thing correct or that thing? I will have a much better idea on the 27th when I arrive and look at everything and help put it in order. Also, to review interview questions etc...


Good luck to you and Alexandra, this is the best choice for the K-1 visa category. Have as much evidence as possible and dress well.

My wife just had her visa approved yesturday and just returned to Cali after that dreaded long bus ride.

Her worst experience was getting the Medical X-rays, blood work and physical exam with DR. Roa, this process is very disorganized. Go really early in the morning since its a long wait.

She spent 4 hours at the X-rays and another 6+ hours at Dr. Roa. Make sure Alexandra takes, if any, previous/current serious Medical History and treatments to the physical.

Hey guys, correct me if I'm wrong but as of last year the DAS gave people specific instructions not to open the Carta Migratoria. They used to hand it out in a sealed envelope and it was meant to be opened by the embassy only. If the document was opened it became invalid and the US embassy didn't accept it that way.

Is this no longer the case? huh.gif

Diana



Diana, I just talked to my wife yesterday concerning the Carte Migratoria. She told me that DAS gave her a sealed envelope, but she managed to see the paragraph through the almost transparent envelope. Maybe they have improved their service since many people have complained of errors in their Carta Migratoria.

On another note, everything is going well on my wife's CR-1, except for the fact the she had to wait over 4 hours to get her x-rays and blood work, and another 7 hours for her physical at Dr. Roa's. She told me that exam procedures are very disorganized and that more staff are needed to take on the numereous patients that attend.

Now, this is were the praying begins, her interview is scheduled for tomorrow, Jan 21st for the CR-1, wish us luck.

Thanks again Colombia Club.


Good luck! Let us know how it goes at the embassy..... good.gif



Good luck to you



Thank you all for the the good lucks. My wife had the interview this morning and was approved for the CR-1 Visa. She told me that its imperative to take as much evidence as possible, one picture will not suffice as many interviewees' were denied because of the lack of evidence.
