Hello,

I am also waiting for my parents' GCs. 

Did you get a notice or any letter from USCIS during your wait? We have not received any communication since POE. Is it normal? 

Thanks.

The usual routes are through work but that seems unlikely or ObamaCare, which State will they be residing in?

Illinois.

Yes, I understand that. But my question is not about GC. I need help to find a medical insurance for 2 months for green card holders.

@Boiler my parents do not have any medical insurance yet. They are coming to the US on their immigration visa to get their Green Cards. Then after receiving the GCs they will have to return to their home country to finish some business. I want to purchase medical insurance here in the US for them while they are waiting for their GCs.

Hello All,

Can anybody share their experience with temporary medical coverage for green card holders? 

My parents are coming to the United States for 2.5 months to get their GC and then they will have to leave the US for several months. 

While they are here staying and waiting for the GC, I really want to get them medical coverage just in case.

I checked such companies as Seven Corners, and Trawick. Their websites state that GC holders may be unable to purchase their policy. I did chat with the agents: Seven Corners said, no they will not cover my parents, Trawick said yes, they will cover them because they do not live here permanently yet.

The thing is that my parents' situation is a very grey area, they are not tourists, they GC holders, but they are not staying here yet.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Tatyana.

@OldUser Thank you!

They will try to get everything done within  6 months.

I am trying to avoid any headaches in the future.

Hello VJ Fam,

My parents are coming to the US to get their Green Cards. Our plan is the following: they come here and wait for their GCs and social. Then they need to go back home to take care of their affairs, mostly to take care of some family and financial things. This can take more than 6 months, we estimated about 8 months. And after finishing with their business they are moving here permanently. 

Here are my questions:

1. Can they leave the country two months after receiving the GCs? 

2. How long do they have to stay in the USA before being able to travel overseas?

3. I read on the USCIS website. LPR can stay outside of the USA, from 6 months up to 12 months. But then I read online, that them staying outside of the country for more than 6 months be an issue during re-entry or renewal of the GC. This long absence can be interpreted as abandonment of the residency. I am confused. In what cases can they stay 6 months and 12 months?

Please kindly advise.

Thank you in advance.

Tatyana.

Hope you get good news soon.

Does it say 'IV Docs in CCD' on their visas? If so, that means it's been sent electronically. 

Yes, it does. Thank you!

I didn’t receive a packet either, it was all accessible digitally for CBP. 

Got it. Thank you.

Hello,

My parents had their interview and got approved (Yay!!!) a week ago. 

I remember when I had my interview 10 years ago after the approval, they gave me a sealed envelope that I was supposed to give to the officer at the airport. The NVC instruction still says the same thing on the website

However, my parents did not receive the envelope. 

So has the process changed? I am a little confused. Can anybody who had an interview recently help me understand?

Thanks!

I have one more question, do I need to mail my Naturalization Certificate as proof of my US citizenship?

Feb 13

NVC manually added my husband to my parents' cases, I assume because we file taxes jointly.

They added him as a household member and requested his birth certificate, our marriage certificate, and proof of domicile. and after I submitted the documents, the system gave me a message original documents needed to be presented at the interview.

My parent' interviews are scheduled for next month!!!

Hello,

My parents' interview is next month. They want my husband's birth certificate and our marriage certificate since he is a household member. I am the only petitioner. I do not have a problem sending our marriage certificate, but I am a little concerned sending his birth certificate and our tax returns across the world. It has all the sensitive information.

What experience did you have sending birth certificates, and tax returns across the world?

Thank you.

Hello.

Did your mom live in any other country?

We are waiting for interview date for my mother-in-law. We finished submitting NV document. Any idea how long before we see dates? We send the paperwork late December,2023.

I am waiting for the interview dates for my parents as well. It is case by case basis, all embassies are on different schedules.

How will you know the package has been sent? Will NVC send you a letter? For my case it’s been 45 days and haven’t received NVC received the case. 

You should get an email

Hi All,

Quick update.

I resubmitted my father's same police certificate, and additionally, submitted an image where I color coded the NVC requirement points and my father's certificate information. I was showing them that my father's document was correct, and it was accepted. I think initially, a person who reviewed the documents made a mistake. And the second time it was reviewed by either a different person or they realized there had been a misunderstanding.

If USCIS or NVC or the CO at embassy asks for a document,  the case will go further until u send it

 

u share assets by living together even if u file MFS  as any property gained after a marriage u have acquired assets deemed jjointly owned  like a new car even if only 1 name is on it

 

“Commingling” generally refers to the mixing of funds. When we’re talking about a married couple, the legal explanation of commingling notes “certain assets acquired during a marriage as being jointly owned by both spouses. If a spouse mixes their separate property with marital property, such as in a joint bank account, and there is later a divorce, then the spouse risks forfeiting some of the separate property when the marital property is divided.”

Thank you for explainingit to me! 

I will work on it. 

Terdals and JeanneAdil

Yes, they will live with us. 

And yes, my father's certificate answers all the NVC requirements. I sent them a follow-up message, asking what exactly was wrong with the document.

If we inquire about a new certificate, it will be the same document type and the same context.

You should probably search the meaning of the word reciprocity if you don't know the definition.

 

https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country.html

 

Sounds like they think he did not follow the instructions for the document needed in his country? Did he apply for the certificate like it says to do on that page?

I googled it, It sounded like a bribe,  mutual exchange, or interaction between parties with an expectation of corresponding actions, often for mutual benefit or cooperation.

Anyways, regardless, of what it means, yes, all qualifications of the document have been met. As I mentioned earlier, my mother's certificate has been accepted. it is exactly the same type of document. 

I sent a message to NVC they said they my father's Police certificate was invalid due to  reciprocity. Do they mean he bribed someone to get the certificate? This is Non-sense. We would never do anything like that, we do not need it, my father is not a criminal.

I tried to call them they suspended the phone line. How can I talk to someone, an actual  person in NVC? Is it possible?
