It has been about 7 months since i posted this topic.Is there a guide as to where is can find the next steps and we will be filing to get my wife her Perment GC in 2017 and might move for a new job something this year. Please point me in the right direction as i do not wish to screw it up.

You are 21 months away from the time you get your green card to start removing conditions. Don;t even think about it now. Go to SS office now and apply for SS card if you haven;t already. Keep checking status of your green card if you have already paid your $165 online. Get DL some can get in their state without SS#. It depends where you live.

Thank you dwheels

That raises another question in my mind..Will she be allowed to travel internationally during the 21 months ??

Hi guys

So after a year of waiting ..my wife is finally here and our August Delhi Interview was short ,easy and painless.I cant still believe that she is finally here. Thank you all for all the help over the year and i will be around needing more help soon as we begin the ROC process.Good Luck and God Bless you all.

Hello VJers

We have finally made it to the USA together and our POE was Chicago.My wife's passport has " Alien has been notified of the provisions of section 216 and the procedures for having the conditional basis of his/her status removed" stamped on the immigrant Visa page. What is out next step w.r.t to her working and getting a DL and when do we have to start or next process for getting her a 10 yr GC.

Thank you for all your inputs.

Hi All...


We just received our Interview date at Delhi today..Aug 13..Our wedding anniversary date...Thank you God..Please add us to the spreadsheet...CC Apr 28..interview Date Aug13..

WOW..Thanks for all the great responses.

it is true that new Delhi is way slower than Mumbai. there are at least two people with case complete in April and they are still waiting to be scheduled for interview. but I agree with you it is a big hassle.

My CC is April 28 and am still waiting...but i guess we all have to wait some more.

Hello VJ members

SInce Delhi is taking soooooooo long to schedule interviews, is it wise to have NVC transfer the case to Mumbai now or should we just wait it out for Delhi.My wife lives in Delhi and will that have any bearing on the request if we decide to transfer the case.

Best regards
ShivaniVivek

We have a CC of April 28..and we are waiting...why oh why...My wife called Delhi embassy and asked when will they sked the interview ..they said we are waiting on NVC..I called NVC..they first got angry at me for calling the Embassy .. and then said ..We are waiting on the embassy to give us the dates...

wow!!! that's crazy. we are in this process since 13 months. I hate it.!! can't sleep at night.

can we request to transfer our case from new delhi to Mumbai.? Mumbai is faster.

Are you waiting for 13 months for an interview or did u mean from the start of the i-130 journey??

may I pls ask when was your case completed at NVC. New delhi is super slow.!! is there anyway we can request a transfer to Mumbai consulate.?

April 28 2015...Delhi seems like the Blackhole ..a place where time is irrelevent or even stops...LOL

Thanks for the link ShivaniVIvek. I am following all of you guys to come up with estimates. oh this is not helping keep the spirits up! sigh ..... goodluck and keep us posted.

The NVC told me just now that the interviews are scheduled based on NVC CC dates compared i-130 approval told to me by another NVC person told 2 weeks ago..I guess the punishment that is this spouse visa to the US shall continue..I wonder if other countries have it this tough or this long??

We are in the same boat...no interview yet...

Hello VJ members

I would like to get clarification on a matter w.r.t to my wife passport.Her current Indian passport shows her as unmarried status but her PCC show her as married. Should we get a new PP and do the PCC process all over again or should we stick with what we have right now.The Delhi Embassy has this to say as a response to my query a few days ago..

In response to your question, we would like to inform you that you may apply for PCC and attend the visa interview with the valid, unmarked and undamaged passport. Further, it is at the discretion of the applicant whether to re-apply for the passport or not.

And, if you have already applied for a new passport then, we would request you to send the scanned copy of both passports and DS-260 confirmation page with all the applicant and petitioner details, so that we can forward the details to the concerned department.

We hope this information is helpful to you.

In my opinion this is their way of covering their behinds kind of response plus it seem like a ambiguous response.My worry is that it may set us up for a rejection at interview.

Your thoughts please

Anybody here still waiting for interview from New Delhi embassy with April cc?

I know i am ...why is Delhi doing this...??

Indian mentality what the hell does that mean? I guess where you are from having an opinion on a matter is forbidden. Dont make a rant about NVC into a personal or racist issue, thanks.

Hahahahahaha...Racist issue ..I dont know about you...but i am brown skinned ..? Indian mentality here means .."I am going thru this problem and it is causing me grief and i want it fixed and hence i should not have to anything in regards to that..but i want it done asap"..I have seen back in India too...That is the Indian mentality i am talking about...Anyways ..thanks for laughs...Good luck on ur immigration stuff.

Sorry I don't feel that way. I have seen so many situations where they proved to be completely and utterly unprofessional. Whether be be the rude operator who doesnt want to talk to you and just wants to hang up on you the second they come on. Over a month to pay a fee. Taking 3 weeks to send out a checklist email after you have been notified on phone. Supervisor reviews for simple matters that take 2 months additional to original processing time.

No, I have never seen an organization this incompetent as the NVC, and there is nothing to hold them accountable. This is how I feel, and I dont think I will change my opinion on it. They maybe understaffed and overworked, but we should not have to suffer for it. Fix it!

HAhhaha..Indian mentality...You are free not to come/ bring family to the US.There are over a 200 other countries that can be immigrated to and if you feel that you can do a better job..then by all means join the NVC and show them how to do their jobs. Nobody cares about your opinion and not atleast the NVC or USCIS. You chose this ...now deal with it likes the rest of us...You getting angry or pouting will not move things any faster but it will raise ur BP only.

Havent you figured it out that they are incompetent idiots?

They are not...They work really hard and as fast as possible without any federal money to support..If they were as you say...then millions would not have been immigrate to the US till now...You need them..they dont need you..!!!

I called NVC yesterday and still no interview date.The lady did say that the interviews dates and based on your NOA2 ..i.e USCIS approval PD..not the NVC CC date..Our PD is Sep2 2014.As far as what dates they are currently processing ..she said she was not allowed to give out that info..I am just waiting to get my wife over...This is taking soooo long!!!!

Not sure if it is . I would think so. The rep I talked to today said that our embassy June's appointments are all booked and we might get July interview but no promises lol. Our cc is April 30. So praying we hear something soon before I go crazy lol.

Hi Mel&Lal

Our CC was Apr 28 2015 and we did not make the June Delhi Interview list either.I was thinking the same thing and would call the NVC next week and see if something come open for US.I cant to go and get her..the wait is torture...

Hello All

We received an email from NVC saying

"All documentation necessary to complete the NVC processing of your case has been received.As soon as an interview date has been scheduled, you will be notified"

What exactly does this mean??..Has our been case completed??

Thank you for all your input. I greatly appreciate it.
