US Immigration from Hong Kong

Hi all,

I've been living in the USA since I was a child and never left the country until recently I flew back to Hong Kong (my birth place) to do consular processing. So when I submitted my documents to NVC I didn't submit a police certificate from Hong Kong because based on ustraveldocs it says:

1. If you hold a Hong Kong passport or document of identity (i.e. have the right of abode in Hong Kong) and have resided in Hong Kong for 6 months or more when you were 16 years or older, you must provide a Hong Kong police certificate. The certificate must cover the entire period of your residence in Hong Kong.

So based on this statement, I did not submit a police certificate from HK because again I've been living in the US since I was a child and so I did not live in HK for 6+ months after 16 years old. I got DQ'd so I thought everything would be okay.

My interview at the consulate is in two weeks and I'm afraid whoever interview me will ask for a police certificate from HK. Do I just tell them about this clause from the document I found on ustraveldocs? Also, I was never able to obtain it because one of the criteria is to get a personalized checklist from the embassy telling me I need a police certificate, which I never received. Am I safe to assume everything is going to be okay assuming I have every other necessary document?

Is it at all possible to find tracking information or confirmation when the package arrives at the embassy from NVC? Just received the email today from NVC stating it was received (My I-129 was approved mid December) and "Will now be forwarded", so my assumption is NVC has just received/processed our I-129F and is now going to ship it to the Hong Kong Embassy.

Hi all - apologies for the hyperbole, but it s a bit of an emergency. I know the idea is that IR1 visa holders have to come to the US with or after the USC spouse. However, my wife and I are currently in transit and she has missed her flight (we re travelling separately). This means I will arrive in the US before her. Can I still go through immigration etc pending her arrival? Sorry for the urgency but I m actually sat in an airport right now, not knowing what to do. This is a bit of nightmare. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I have a question about renewing my driving license while the application of I751 is still pending. I noticed that the wait time for the application is at least 6 months (depending on which location you file your I751). My driving license expiration date is as same as the conditional green card which is next month in Feb 24th 2022. Is it a way to renew your driving license while your application is pending? I sent an application to remove the application is on Nov 26th 2021 (the earliest day I can submit the application to remove the conditional permanent residency).

Thank you

My fianc currently lives in Hong Kong, and her parents have been trying to get her police records from mainland china for our k1 visa. Her dad spent 3 days waiting at the police after travelling back to their home city and needing to pay them ~$200, offer up many certificates, and interviewed her parents. After all of this, the year on her records was marked as 1995, when she was born in 1994. We feel this shouldn't be an issue, but out of concern with how strict immigration can be we tried to get them to fix this error and the police office refused to do anything about it at all. Her parents are getting frustrated needing to spend much of their holiday time helping their daughter move away, and honestly, we're both getting stressed over the immigration process. Could anyone offer some advice on if this time gap would cause any issues when she goes to her visa interview? Aside from the time period of her being a baby, it covers her entire time in china.
