US Immigration from United Arab Emirates

Hi, in early 2020 we submitted police clearance certificate for our daughter, she acquired from the Indian consulate in the US and we submitted it on the NVC portal. We got DQ and due to covid interview got cancelled and just got the rescheduled interview in Mumbai now.

The pcc is more than 2 years old, but since my daughter has not visited India till now. She will visit India just for the interview. Will she need a new pcc. As per the NVC website, we don't think she will as she never visited India in the last 3 years.

From NVC website:

Important: Police certificates expire after one year, unless the certificate was issued from your country of previous residence and you have not returned there since the police certificate was issued. If at the time of your interview the following three items are all true, you must bring a new police certificate to your visa interview:

• You are more than 16 years old;
• The police certificate submitted to NVC was obtained more than one year ago; and
• You still live in the country that issued the certificate.

When is a good time to start looking for work? What exactly do you need before you are considered 'employable' in the US? I'm waiting for my IL so got lots of time on. my hands; thought I'd get a head start on applications but don't want to start too early where it'd be an issue if I get an offer before my local embassy interview.

Hi everybody,

Here is the landscape:

I'm a single father, living with my 3month old daughter.

Currently claiming unemployment benefit because I can't work on-site with an infant on hand, been unemployed since mid February 2022 .

I do earn well above the poverty rate and we are a household of 2 (My daughter and I). I can get back to work once my mother comes over.

would selecting 'Unemployed' (Form i-864, Part 6) negatively effect my mother's case at NVC or should I wait to get a job first and then proceed?

Thanks

Hello! Anyone here who recently completed their dual citizenship application in person? In page 2 of the form, there is a section for "Certification" with space for a notary public's signature. Does this have to be done (notarized) in advance? Or do I complete this section when I am at the embassy during my appointment? Thanks!

Greetings

I got DQed for EB1 in Nov 2021 and waiting for my interview in Abu Dhabi.

Anyone in similar situation. Any idea about current wait times?

Thanks
