P.O.E Question! (checklist)

[Amanda Lynn 3]

Hey ya'll,

Well my husbands P.O.E date is January 7th, USCIS and NVC usually give us a handy checklist for things but I CANNOT find a checklist for the P.O.E

What he has is:

1) Passport (obv.)

2) Packet mailed to him via US Embassy

3) His ESTA is expired but he's applying for a new one tonight (last time it was approved in minutes)

.........So thats what we have so far.

Anything else????

He is coming on a spousal visa correct?! Then he does not need to complete the ESTA as that is for travellers arriving on the VWP and he does indeed have a visa. Make certain his passport is stamped witht the correct notation that he has a CR-1/IR-1 visa--they should give him an I-551 stamp on the visa to act like the GC until it arrives. He will not need to complete the I-94 on the airplane, only the Customs Declarations form. He should bring documents that are hard to obtain from afar--i.e. birth certificate, etc. He should receive the actual GC shortly after arrival so travelling back to to the UK will not be a problem.

Congratulations on getting to this point,

Dave

Hello Dave,

Thank you for your advice! We were wondering about the i-94 so you read my mind. And I totally forgot the ESTA was under the VWP! I just knew it was something we did, so i'm glad you also mentioned that!
