US Immigration from United Kingdom

Parents received a GREEN 221g. Officer asked for my W2 (but did not specify what year) for my dads case - which was already uploaded at the NVC stage - but I uploaded again today when mum told me. Weird that its also requested for dad's case and not mums too.

The only box that is checked on the 221g is for me to DX courier my british birth certificate.

They did not keep their passports.

If I courier my BC via DX, do I need for them to acknowledge and expect and ask for their passports to be couriered?

Just thinking of what might happen if or when its suffice for them that they received what they asked for....

Would there be harm in sending the passports together with the BC?

I got the Courier-In Authorization Certificate generated from https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-gb/iv/users/sign_in

But not sure what to do with it?

Says "This certificate authorizes tadeo, nenita to use the designated CSRA courier to deliver supporting visa application documents to the United States London Consulate free of charge"

I also emailed DX for a quote on pickup and delivery and return service - is this the correct procedure on using the DX certifcate and for DX to pickup from mums house?

Even though I uploaded my W2, I will send to mum with my british BC to then DX courier to the consulate - or should I not do this?

Ok, so hubby is finally thinking of obtaining his citizenship. We understand most of the documentation that is required, but I keep seeing pop up providing proof of the relationship. Now we've been married going on 17 years (and he's lived in the US for nearly 16). We have tax documents, mortgage documents etc, but we don't really do 'photos'. Is this going to be an issue when he gets to any interview stage? Just trying to figure out if we have to bite the bullet and actually take pictures.

Hello All,

Any idea how to find out the number of visa used up in FY 2025? I heard last year, the quota was finished in Aug timeframe.

Wondering if that could happen earlier this year?

I had my cr1 visa interview on 8 January at london embassy. Status is ready as of today. Is there anyone who is facing the same from London embassy?

Hi All,

just to let you all know this, please be careful with this company. Use the express option and they ll ship your stuff via DHL. The cheaper option (Standard) is via UPS or FEDEX and i do not recommend that. Relocated to the US in Oct 2024, shipped all my stuff using the Express and all my stuff arrived safely by DHL. My wife shipped some stuff using the Standard and 2 suitcases are missing for over 1 month and now declared untraceable! My wife has been crying!
