US Immigration from New Zealand

Hi all,

My husband has been granted his CR-1 visa & is set to fly out to join me this Saturday - he's wondering if he goes through the resident/citizen line at Customs when he arrives. Anyone have advice or if this has already been discussed if you could point me to the right thread?

Cheers

Hello. We had our EB3 interview in Auckland on 4 May and our status has not yet changed online. Still shows "Ready", same as it was before the interview. I have checked with the consulate and they say the officer is still adjudicating the application. How long after your interview was your visa approved and issued?

Hi guys,

I'm just wondering what's the next status update...we've sent our RFE response into USCIS and they received it at lee's summit MO and my USCIS status says "Response To USCIS' Request For Evidence Was Received" and we have begun working on your case again.

What's next from here? our biometrics appointment is next week and just wondering what the next status update will be, any knowledge out there??

Thanks!

We have been accepted for interview but are contemplating if we're making the right decision moving to the US. Does anyone know what happens if we change our minds and cancel the visa? Are we allowed to apply later down the road? I've looked online and can't find the right words to search. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

I notice on the Auckland consulate portion of travel.state.gov, there's a section which says "Please use the list below to determine the items that every applicant must provide to the consulate PRIOR to the immigrant visa interview. Bring your documents to the consulate the week before your interview any time between 8:00 a.m. and 12 noon Monday through Friday, except public holidays. Place them in an envelope with your case number and full name on the outside and addressed to Immigrant Visa Unit. ". My wife doesn't live in Auckland so this would not be possible. She could courier the documents up this week if necessary, but I found it odd that there was no mention of this process in any correspondence she's received from the consulate, and I don't see much mention of it here on VisaJourney either. I'm wondering if this is an out of date/irrelevant instruction. I thought it was strange that if they did want this to happen, they were relying on people to meticulously read through the travel.state.gov website rather than following the instructions directly received from the consulate.

I emailed the consulate on Thursday in the US which would have been Good Friday in NZ, so I can't expect a response from them until NZ Tuesday.
