Few Questions Post Interview in Montreal

[wadelmaki 0]

Hi,

My wife and kids (IR-1 & IR-2) had their interview on Friday of last week and I was not allowed to go with them. They did have different case number as separate petitions. My wife was asked to provide one document by the CO (she did not know what the document is) and the CO told her likely we have it here and will look for it. The officer handed her one welcome letter at the end of the interview and he said the case is approved. We tried to go back to the embassy to ask about this document, but were not allowed in. We have also tried to email them if we need to go back and they responded on Monday saying our cases are with the Consular Officer for review. I do have the following questions:

Is it normal that my wife was handed only one welcome letter and not three (my kids will become US citizens upon entry to the USA)?

My wife recently became a Canadian Citizen and still keeping her original nationality, however during the interview she was only asked for her Canadian Passport. Since we have registered with Loomis with her original passport information, will this cause any issues for returning the passport when the visa is issued?

Does the approval means that the CO was satisfied with our documents despite the fact he said there was one document missing? Should we get concerned?

During the interview my wife was not asked to pay the $165 for the green card; is this what suppose to happen?

Your assistance is much appreciated!

You can pay the $165 any time after you pick up the Visa. You pay online at http://www.uscis.gov/uscis-elis

You need to find out what the document is she needs. They didn't had her a 221g asking for what they need?

Not really sure about the welcome letter I would think since the children are being accompanies by their parent why waste paper and everyone get a letter I guess.

You said they only asked for Canadian Passport. They don;t ask for all you only get one Visa So the country you want the Visa in is the passport used.

Well approval may be pending until they get the paper they seek. Does she remember the questions asked? Like was it about the affidavit of support, police report. You need to contact the embassy and wait. Hope this doesn't delay you much.

Congratulations by the way.

Hi dweels76,

Thanks for responding. She was not handed 221g at the interview and the CO told her that we should have a copy of this document here! My wife does not remember what document it is, but she told me it is related to the petitioner.

I did check the CEAC today and it says "Issued" and under that it says ""Your visa case is currently undergoing necessary administrative processing." I am not sure what this means!

Regarding Loomis; I tried to go back and change the passport number & nationality, however this is not an option. Should we contact the consulate to get this corrected, or it might not be an issue?

Thanks

I'm not understand what you are trying to change did you hand over the wrong passport?

Even though it says issued that means it has been sent to be printed usually so the necessary administrative processing is normal. But why haven't you emailed the embassy to ask them what it is they need.

**Okay I get she is from another country and I gather you wanted the Visa put in that passport? You can't change the passport. She handed over the Canadian that's what gets the Visa.

I emailed the consulate and they responded with saying that our case is with the Consular Officer for review.

No, she did not hand the wrong passport and actually it does not matter where the visa is printed, I was just concern with the fact that when we registered with Loomis (for passport delivery) before the interview, we did put her original nationality's passport number as this what she had on her DS-260. At the interview the officer only asked for her Canadian Passport.

Thanks again.
