Small inquiry about interview docs.. and Loomis

[Adelaid3 1]

On the letter we received, on the list of documents and relevent codes I saw an "ELIGIBILITY DOCUMENT" and the code suggested we sent in a photocopy and will need to bring the original. I am at a loss as to what it was and can't figure it out; google-fu didn't get me very far and as much as I can grasp it is possibly my petitioner's birth certificate ???

Some clarification would be greatly appreciated. Trying to organize all my documents and make sure I don't forget anything.

OH also, here: HTTP://USVISA-INFO.COM/EN-CA/SELFSERVICE/US_COURIER_INFORMATION On the MTL package it says to sign up for loomis.. I went to the website, tried to clickapply, the drop down.. nowhere does it appear to be for courier registration. Only for applying for an interview date.. which I already have. Everything I try says "not ready for interview date". Any experience? The new website has been a nightmare to navigate since the instructions to use it are outdated.

Thanks in advance!

Your Eligibility Document is your passport.... Sorry - Australia didn't use Loomis, so I cannot help you there.

Ahhh okay thanks a lot! I hope someone will help me out for the Loomis / DHL stuff. I'm at a loss.

Also.. PASSPORT was already listed in my letter, why would they have that and ELIBIGILITY document separate if its the same thing?

EDIT: Could it be evidence for bonifide marriage? Affidavits and stuff? Could that be what eligibility docs are?

My husband just registered for courier services last week and didn't have any problems.

First, you might want to check the CEAC website (https://ceac.state.gov/ceac/) to make sure your case file is at the consulate. If so, your status will show as "Ready".

After that, we followed the link to register for courier services in the P4 instructions, clicked on the "Immigrant Visa" link at the bottom of the page, clicked on "Register" and then chose the first option (something about having received an interview date from the consulate). Then we just navigated through, chose the courier location and printed our confirmation.

Hope this helps. There is another thread on this topic you might want to check out -- http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/537416-help-with-registering-for-loomis-courier-services/page-2#entry7492073

Good luck!

Hi!

I get a "AT NVC" popup when I used the CEAC website.

I also found that thread when googling, it wasn't helpful to me since I never got past the first step. "Not ready for interview" step when I enter all my information after clicking register my appointment. I sent them an email about it the other day since the warning message said to if the error appears after having received a letter.

Perhaps I should wait a bit longer ? I received my letter and interview date, but it seems there is a lag. Is that simply it?

Thank you for your help!

If anyone has any idea what eligibility documents are, please let me know too.

Oh! Oh! Oh! Adelaid3, your eligibility document is your marriage certificate!!! That is what makes you "eligible" for the IR1/CR1 visa!

Sorry to give bad info last time....

You cannot sign up for loomis or any visa return until CEAC reads "ready"

Just a small update in case anyone else has the same questions as me about Eligibility document. After much sleuthing around (and going through various threads that talk about these eligibility docs, a lot of them end short or don't define them) it turns out it is either Passport or my birth certificate. Heck, it might even be my marriage certificate. To be perfectly honest no one seems to have a solid definition because there are many answers based on context, but I will trust I already have it on hand.

As for Loomis, many people are having the same problems as me in the canadian regional forum, and there is no solution other than waiting, even if it has to be until the day before interview since it is redundant. People have waited weeks after it says "Ready to interview" and still being unable to sign up for Loomis. So I have no other choice but to wait and/or send an email.

I did a search in the forums, and found that this is Canadian wording - and here is the definition...

ELIGIBILITY DOCUMENT:________________________________________

You must submit proof establishing your eligibility to be processed for an immigrant visa

in Canada. Canadian citizens can meet this requirement with copies of Canadian

passports, Canadian citizenship certificates, or birth certificates showing birth in Canada.

If you are not a Canadian citizen, you must provide us with a copy of your Landed

Immigrant papers or a copy of your visa that states that you may legally remain in Canada

for six more months. This document must indicate six months validity from the time it is

received at the NVC.

If you are currently residing in the U.S., you must provide us with a copy of your Landed

Immigrant papers or a copy of your visa valid for 6 months or more from the date the

document is received at the NVC.

If acceptable proof of eligibility is not provided as requested your case will be reassigned to process at

the Embassy/Consulate in your last country of residence

I think a lot of people find it easier get visas to Canada than the USA, but you cannot interview in a country you are not legally residing in. So the US consulate in Canada is asking for people show that they are actually residing in Canada, and not just visiting. Everyone knows that the interviews are easier there so they think they're getting around the system to interview there. Since there are illegals in Canada (many from countries where AP is traditionally long) as well, this helps both countries.
