US Immigration from Netherlands

From what I understand, you can nowadays complete your Global Entry interview upon international arrival without the need to make an appointment. My question is whether this can be combined with an arrival on an immigrant visa. My conditional approval for Global Entry is expiring soon-ish, and my initial arrival with my CR1 will be the only international flight into the US I have planned before that date.

In case it matters, I've read in several topics that GE with a CR1 is not possible; however; while my visa does state CR1, it should be converted into IR1 upon arrival as my entry will be after our two year anniversary.

Does anyone have any experience combining the Global Entry interview with new immigrant arrival?

I'm currently in the final stages of my CR1 application, waiting for my interview. It was scheduled in two weeks, but earlier this week I received an email from the Amsterdam consulate stating that 'unfortunately, they had to reschedule'. My new date is 5 days prior to the original date; which, while I'm happy about getting it earlier; I also can't help but wonder if this is any sort of sign or if it's just something random that happens. Does anyone have any experience with rescheduled interviews?

It is unclear to me what the best way is to answer the basis of eligibility question on the N-400 online form.

A: resident for >5 years

B: resident for >3 years and married to US citizen

Both of these apply to me as I've been here more than 10 years. In the eyes of USCIS, which of these will make me 'more eligible'? Will choosing A be less of a hassle in terms of providing less evidence?

I did a paper filing for I-130

I have received the first NOA letter (1-797C). I want to check online but haven't received a USCIS access code.

Do I get a separate letter with that online access code?

Thanks Leon

Hello everyone,

Perhaps someone can help me out here. I have requested the embassy to reissue my expired k1 visa. It has expired (in june) during the covid travel restrictions, restricting me of travel to the USA from Europe. Today I have received the following email (which I think is positive):

We are inviting you for a follow-up interview on x

Before this appointment it is crucial you compete a new DS 160 application from.

You received instructions to return you IV packet to this office, please follow the guidance and return us you IV documents.

In order for us to process your K1 visa application we need you to complete the following steps. You can complete these steps after your follow-up interview.

• Login to your account and pay the application fee. https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-nl/iv
• You medical is expired, please follow the guidance in the attached documents to schedule an appointment for a new medical.
• Request updated Dutch Police Certificate (VOG)
• Updated Financial documents I-134 and tax documents

Kind regards,

This leaves me with the following questions:

- Is the IV packet the sealed big envelop I have received when my visa first was approved?

- does the embassy want that sealed envelop send to them via mail or me to take it to them on the date of our interview?

- What to expect from a follow up interview.

Thank you for your time and response.
