    in Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion

    Posted

    Hi guys,

    Been a while since I last posted. I recently filed for my wife's ROC. We are still married and plenty of evidences about a 110 pages packet. So anyways here is the deal. I sent the ROC packet out on March 4. USCIS CSC received on March 7, they in return sent the packet back and I received it today stating that I filed too early.

    Here is a little info. My wife's conditional green card expires on 6/13/16. So I thought if I file in time before the 90 day period to expiration it should be fine, than why would I get the whole packet back saying I filed too early. Do I need to wait until after her conditional GC expires for ROC or can I do it now as her Conditional GC expires soon.

    in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports

    Posted

    I hired a lawyer back in October 2012 to file my paperwork for k1 visa just to make sure everything was done correctly and minimze any chances of getting an RFE,I recieved my NOA1 on October 2012, but guess what??? After nearly 8 months if waiting I checked the uscis website and I had an RFE!!!(6/18/13), Up until today I have yet to see the letter!! I called the people at uscis but they are never of any help, they said if I havent received the letter after 14 days to call back!! Has anybody experienced such delay??? And to make matters worse my lawyer wont return my calls!

    I'm sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, I had my RFE for K1 at 9 months and approval at 10 months. Hang in there all will be well.

    Mumbai Consulate, Interview --> Visa time?

    in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures

    Posted

    This all depends on if you want your passport to be shipped or picked up. Pick-up is only in Mumbai, so if you are local that is great, but if you live outside of Mumbai, your best bet is to have it shipped. US Embassy uses Blue Dart to ship your passport once the visa is issues and it takes about a week. For pick-up its three days. So its pretty much your choice and you have to let them know online by registering at US Travel Docs. Hope this helps.

    US Travel Docs, Pay Visa?

    in India

    Posted

    You can pay the VISA fees either at any of the CITI or AXIS bank branches or bring a DD to the interview. If you are paying it thought the bank they will provide you a reference number which you need to register online STEP 8 in your profile on US TRAVEL DOCS website.

    Yes, you are right that you needn't schedule an interview on US travel docs as the NVC schedules interviews and will mail you the Interview letter with the date & time. The online schedule is only for non-immigriant visas not for K1.

    Hey, your fiancee and mine have the interview on the same day and time and place. Hope we can set-up something so both of them can help eachother out. That way they will also have some support. What say you?

    Thank you for the reply!

    Where will I get the 'demand draft'? After registering on travel docs?

    And what is the purpose of registering then?

    "Demand Draft" is like our Cashiers check. So basically it tell the embassy that its as good as cash. The purpose of registering is for the delivery of your passport once the visa is issued. That way the beneficiary and embassy can track the issue of visa and the shippment of passport back to them.

    US Travel Docs, Pay Visa?

    in India

    Hi,

    I am trying to do the same for my fiancee who is to be interviewed in Mumbai next month. But from what I have read in many posts that for K-1 you don't need to pay at UStraveldocs but rather bring in the demand draft with you to the interview. I am still not able to navigate since we do not schedule an appointment online because we are assigned a date and time by the consulate.

    So I am confused here and unforunately I am also looking for some guidance here as well.

    Regarding Packet 3 & Packet 4 n many more

    in India

    Posted

    Hi All,

    Atlast my case reached embassy(bombay) and i got the case number on may23rd....

    Again I am here with many doubts... And its mainly regarding the packet 3 and packet 4...

    Pls let me know what is this packet 3 and 4 means...?

    What all things does it contain?

    How long will it take to get intimation about my interview date(I know it will take 60 to 70 days from NOA2 date)?

    What all docs I need to prepare at this point?

    Hoping to get many replies asap!!!

    Thanks n Cheers in advance,

    Vysakh.

    Hi,

    Congrats on getting assigned a case number.

    In India they don't send you Packet 3 anymore for K-1 category visa. You will receive an email with your appointment letter and date. Plan on your appointment being at least 60 days away if you are going to be interviewed in Bombay. To better understand the documents requried go to http://mumbai.usconsulate.gov website.

    At the website go to visas tab and click immigrant visas and click documents. You will have a bunch of documents and also packet 3 and 4. Again just work on packet 4 as it is the same but also your DS230 and DS156 will be there.

    Right now your main concers are DS156, DS156-K, DS230 part 1 and DS230 part 2, your birth certificate, your PCC, your passport, all this information is given on the packet as well as your medicals, and pictures and all.

    Hope this helps.

    US Travel Docs question

    in US Embassy and Consulate Discussion

    Posted

    Hi,

    I have a question for members familiar with using US travel docs site. I am trying to register my fiancee for her passport delivery on the site and it asks for payment. Do I have to make payment or provide the payment MCR code to print the confirmation page or is there a way to bypass it. All your help is appreciated.

    Mumbai K1 visa process after NOA2

    in US Embassy and Consulate Discussion

    Posted

    Hi,

    I will hopefully clear all your doubts. Mumbai no longer sends out Packet 3 and 4 anymore. You and your fiancee will receive an email from Mumbai IV with your appointment letter once they get your case file from NVC normally a week after NVC sends it out.

    If you look at my timeline, I update it frequently, so you can keep abreast.

    Anyways not to get distracted, once you get the interview letter, just make sure you have all your documents i.e., DS156, DS156K, DS230 part 1 and 2, passport, PCC, etc, etc. If you need help visit Mumbai Consulate site and under Visas and Immigrant Visa you can download all the packet 4 information it will come in handy for collecting all documents.

    Your fiancee will need to sign up for www.ustraveldocs.com/in for passport delivery and stuff. The site is confusing I am still trying to navigate and get the desired result, but its a little problem.

    Hope all this helps.

    CSC not adding up

    in USCIS Service Centers

    Posted

    I read here yesterday that the Ombudsman's office that starting yesterday they would be back on track and no more random approvals. But based on Igor's list but no means it is a total representation of K1 petitions as whole, I only see three approvals from July, and two each from August and September. Though it is a slight relief, but still 5 from Nov/Dec. Also two approvals today from Nov/Dec shouldn't those stop since they are working chronologically now per the Ombudsman's office.

    New info regarding CSC

    in USCIS Service Centers

    Posted

    I just called CSC. July 17th filler here.

    Tier 2 told me "ooh You filled a service request in March 9, so wait 120 days to call us and don't bother call again."

    Then when I mentionned it was 9 months I was waiting with my kid asking everyday she said "I don't have access to Your file anyway."

    So in fact applying again looks like a better solution than staying in the black hole forever since now You wait 4 or 5 months max. In 4 months all I can expect is calling to hear "Do You want to fill a service request?"

    Moondream I am surprised they let you file a service ticket, everytime I wanted to do it they said they can't since I was within the timeframe. But that is utter BS, I understand your position as I just found out today my Fiancee has been diagnosed with severe depression due to our situation plus things back at home not looking too good. Hoping we get to hear something and that we don't really have to wait another 4 months. Because that would be utter nonsense.

    August filer, CSC, NOA2!

    Congratulations :)

    Keep calm folks. This is another that had contacted his congressman. Still maybe too early to get excited for the July onwards filers (me included!)

    I too contacted my congressman for help, they said they have put in a congressional inquriy about 20 days ago. Based on what I see here it shouldn't have taken this long to get back to me with an answer, so I emailed the aide again lets see what the reply is. But for my relationship's sake I hope I get some movement soon on my petition. My fiancee has just been diagnosed with severe depression, kind of makes me feel like doo doo when I can't help her and she is all alone back there.
