Please comment your thought or reach out to me. May be we can learn more about this process

Hello all,

Doing standalone I130 for consular processing and my petition was approved but I made a mistake on the form such that section 61 had a YS location for AOS but USCIS took into account the beneficiary's last address and are going to forward it to NVC which is what I want. Anyone else in a similar situation? Also, for my country I just put Pakistan and the NVC should auto-select Islamabad as the embassy correct? That is the only one in the country that does immigrant visas.

We have approved the above petition. However, you indicated on the petition both that the beneficiary intends to apply for an immigrant visa through consular processing at a U.S. embassy or a U.S. consulate outside the United States and also that the beneficiary intends to apply for adjustment of status

in the United States. Because the beneficiary's last address on the petition is outside the United States, and you have not informed us that the beneficiary is in the United States and intends to adjust status, we have forwarded the petition to the Department of State's National Visa Center (NVC) for consular processing.

We are petitioning for my in-laws. They have a daughter that is 13 years old. Can she be added as a derivative on one of the parent's application or do we file her own application? I know sibling take a lot longer to process

I was in the US for my masters but took authorized early withdrawal due to a family emergency. My SEVIS was terminated and I am now outside of the US for more than 5 months. I am now re-admitted in the same school and same program under new I20 and new SEVIS ID.

Do I need to apply for a fresh visa or can I re-use my current valid visa (which has a different SEVIS number) to re-enter US? I am confused.
This is a grey area, conversations on Redditt and Quora suggest people using existing valid visa with different SEVIS ID but local embassy mentioned applying for a fresh visa again

We just realized that on our port of entry immigration officer took all medical envelopes ( sealed and opened) now we don t have any paperwork for us to take to civil doctor appointment to get our medical examination done . How do

we prove to civil doctor that we have done required vaccinations overseas?
