US Immigration from India

Hi- we are at ready status at Mumbai consulate for past few days but aren t sure of next steps. We filed the DS160 and paid the fee. We wanted to schedule the medical but we re told we need an appointment letter. Do we need to set interview first?
are we waiting for a package at beneficiary s house?
many help on next steps would be appreciated. Thank you

Hello,

I had an issue regarding the expiration of i693 form.This current form expires on 03/31/22.Is there a new version available.I need the form to be submited in april 2022.Would the form expiring on 03/31/22 be valid for submitting in april ?

All,

Posting my friend's experience and timeline (he's not on VJ - learned about it today after his naturalization)

Filed Online for N400 (5 year rule) - May 17, 2021

Office - Raleigh, NC

Biometrics reuse notification: May 18, 2021

FOIA filed - Dec 2021

FOIA files received - Feb 7, 2022

Interview notification: Feb 22, 2022

Interview Date: March 29, 2022

Oath taken: March 29, 2022 (Same day oath)

Experience was similar to most folks - security check was airport like and he arrived 20 mins prior to appointment time. Was called in by the officer around 45 mins later. He took interview first (Civics, reading and writing) followed by yes/no. My friend hadn't submitted his traffic citations, so he disclosed them and officer checked the receipts and since they were paid said no big deal. Post processing told him to wait for 15 mins to see if he can oath in the next hour. Came back and said he will be taking oath in the next 30 mins.

Overall 1.5 hours from arrival to exit.

He had submitted the FOIA request after i advised him to do so since he was unaware. Not sure if requesting the A-file did the trick for the interview or not, but there was at least a coincidence in the A-file arriving and the interview notice coming in within 2 weeks. For background he was in the US prior to 2010 and like many others have noted, may have had some physical files within his A-file.

Thanks
