Hey, I got a RFE in march and was approved in April.  We also didn't have a mortgages or utility bills in both our names. So we wrote a letter explaining our situation why we don't have it. We had a few family members writing an affidavit and they also got it notarized. Anyways after I got approved something went wrong and never received my Green card, so they told me to file for a I-90 which I did on 6/1/2018 and still waiting for an update after I requested an expedite 6/15.  

 

Good luck with your case. 

That's good to know. Everything was set up when I arrived in US, house, car etc. So, my name is not there in bills etc. and never saw the need to change. We will include letter from family here as well. I hope you receive your green card soon. Thank you

Some suggestions.. Are you on each others life insurance policies? Car insurance? Phone bills/plan, travel together (both of your passport stamps and flight tickets) photos labeled with place and date, do you have joint credit cards? Submit multiple months of statements from throughout your marriage for checking and credit cards. Copy of both your state ids that show you have same address. Where are you living? Idk your living situation but If living with family member have them write a letter stating you guys live together and can stay as long as you like, have proof that person owns the house and have the have the letter notarized.

Thank you for the suggestions. We have our own insurance plans and bills, car insurance etc are on my husband's name. All our trips were road trips so do not have tickets or boarding passes. We do have photos. I am pregnant with our first child, so I am asking if our doctor can provide a letter. We are thinking to send the following

 - state ids that has our address

- Joint checking and saving account statements

- Photos from our trips

- Letter from doctor with ultrasound picture

- letter from employer (sent a request)

- A California state form that has my husband as beneficiary for state pay etc.

- Letter from my father - in law who owns the house that we live in.

We don't have any mortgages etc. either. Please let me know if anyone has received RFE and sent additional documents which resulted in approval. Any suggestions are welcome.

Thank you

I did send in joint car lease contract, car insurance with both our names, health insurance with both our names. After receiving the RFE they transferred my case to the NBC. Still waiting on further development since may 1st.

Oh ok. Both of us have our own insurance plans and don’t have any debts. So, we are not sure what else to send. We need to really think and plan.

Hi everyone

Our NOA date is January 30 2017 and today we received an RFE. It said that we need to submit further evidence that we are living together like deeds or mortgages on our names etc. We don't have any of this and we did submit Joint Account statements. My question is did any of you receive such RFE and if so what additional documents did you submit?

Thank you and good luck

I think what you are describing is the system "glitch" in February where everyone suddenly got a notice saying their case was at their local office if they checked the WAC number on their I-797 (the notice of action stating they received your I-751 and granting the one year extension). I think it coincided with system wide USCIS computer systems update. Quite a few people who called USCIS at that time reported that they were told it was a glitch and their application had not been transferred to a local office. 

Oh I see. I called USCIS and they said no notice was sent. But they did transfer my case to local office according to the representative, although the dates do not match. Anyway, hopefully Dec cases are processed quickly.

Hi everyone

I have been going through the posts to see whether December filers are being approved. Our filing date is Dec 16 2016, biometric was in Feb 2017. I have a basic question, there are two receipt numbers on the Form I-797C. Both bring up status on the USCIS case status.

First one says, the petition has been received at local office. I created an account in USCIS website and then I saw in the case history that "We received you case, will begin processing etc." Then it says "if you do not receive your notice by March 28th, send us a case inquiry". I didn't receive any notice. Any idea what this notice is? I will call and find out, but just wanted to know if others have seen similar status.

Second receipt number just talks about receipt notice that we got before biometric appointment.

Thank you and Good Luck

Hi Everyone

My visa was approved today in Mumbai. It was very good experience. I was out of the embassy in less than hour and half.

Thank you everyone for support and good luck

Hello everyone!

My wife has interview during first week of march in Mumbai India, I am trying to schedule biometrics appointment on Ustraveldocs.com site, it's very confusing, I created a new profile, and then selected "Schedule Appointment", now while going through the steps I felt that its trying to make an interview appointment not the biometrics. Can someone please walk me through the steps? I would really appreciate your help.

Also, she has an medical appointment next week, do I have to until she completes the medical, I feel that is very short time is left between interview and biometrics/medical.

It looks like that, but it will ask what visa it is. So once you give CR1, it will ask whether you have interview scheduled etc.. and it lets you schedule biometrics. I think its alright, I guess you can get the biometrics and medical done week before. If you have any doubts call the embassy.

I got my medical done in Mumbai at Rele Clinic on Jan 30. I got the results after 2 days. So, just make sure you have enough time to get the results before interview.

Good Luck

hi mkhandrika,

did you book a biometric appointment before the Interview at mumbai consulate? I am confused because the P4 email doesn't say anything about biometric appointment.

Yes you need to go to ustraveldocs.com/in and schedule biometrics.

Thanks Sharksbelow for quick reply.

Yes, all these documents have "F" as document status, does "F" mean it's not required? yes I read the status codes, like you mentioned "F The NVC did not request this form or document",but does it mean you don't need to bring for the interview - at least that's what I am reading. I hope you are right because we can't provide these docs as they don't exist for us. I will call NVC but wanted to see what other peoples experiences on this.

mkhandrika, what is number 12 (Photocopies of 1,3,4,5,6 and 7)? I have my wife's interview in march, so just wanted to make sure I don't miss anything.

12 is just the copies of original passport, marriage certificate etc.

Hi everyone

How long did it take to get your interview scheduled after your case got completed?

We got CC on Dec 23rd and Dec 31st we got to know interview date

Hello,

I am new here and am expecting my case completed status from NVC anytime soon. Kindly let me know some info about the further procedures to be followed

1)I wanted to know the procedures to be followed after receiving the interview appointment date( will we receive the appointment letter from the embassy by e-mail or post?)

2) I will be attending my interview from Mumbai consulate what are the recent procedures ( now the center has shifted from bandra kurla complex to Kurla )

3) do we take the biometrics on the day of the interview or prior to it?

4)Any experience of the medical examination in Mumbai will be really helpful ( kindly also advice on how to schedule the medical examination so that it doesn't cause any last moment rush, if we can eat prior to attending the examination as immunizations are generally administered on empty stomach, when i will receive the final records to be submitted during the interview etc)

5) I do not have proper documentation of my immunizations so how should i go about it?

6)Let me know if you have any recent interview experiences for CR1 at the Mumbai consulate(time taken, procedure to be followed, any additional forms to be filled during the interview,questions I need to prepare, Documentation that needs to be kept handy etc)

Thank you.

Hi

I just had my medical and biometrics done in Mumbai. So I can provide some info on that. My interview is on Feb 27th

1) My hubby received the letter by email from NVC (P4)

3) Biometrics need to be taken at least 7 days before interview, thats what rep told me when I called embassy. You need to register and create profile in ustraveldocs.com/in and schedule biometrics appointment.

4) I got my medical done at Rele Clinic Gamdevi, Mumbai. You can go to their website http://www.releclinic.com/and check it out. You can call them for appointment and ask them what you need to bring. I took 8 photographs, passport, interview letter, passport photo copy first and last page. You can eat before going for medical.

I had my appointment at 8:30 AM. First they asked to fill a form and took documents. Then they measured height and weight. Blood was taken for testing. Then there was vision test (just asked to read), X-ray and then doc examined and gave vaccinations. I got 3 vaccinations, Td,MMR and Varicella flue shot. I got the medical done on 30th Jan and got the report on 2nd feb. I had to pay around Rs. 3500. They gave a envelope and a CD.

5) Do not worry if you do not have immunization records. You can tell them what vaccinations you had got done.

Hope this helps

Good Luck

Hi everyone

I had my medical tests on Jan 30th and biometrics appointment yesterday. All went well. Both were in Mumbai. I had got 3 vaccinations, Td, MMR and Varicella flue shot.

My interview is on 27th Feb in Mumbai

Good luck everyone

Hi

Just want to know from people who have had interview in Mumbai,how many days is it taking to receive passport after the interview at Mumbai consulate (also whether passport was picked at Mumbai or any other place)? My interview is on Feb 27th and just want to have an idea.

Thanks and good luck

Hello friends.

Had interview on 15th January MUMBAI Consulate.

Approved.

Got passport very next day on 16th January.

Now time to pay 165$ fees n fly....

Thank you all for your kind help n support.

Congrats.. Can you please post a quick review of the interview? You got your passport back the very next day. wow. I thought it takes 2-3 days.

My interview is on Feb 27th.

What do you mean by biometrics ? You mean fingerprints? do we have to give fingerprints before the interview ? I have an interview as well so I want to find out. please let me know.

yes, its fingerprints. In India we have to get it done before the interview. I checked with embassy, I can get it done in any of the centers in India. You can call your embassy and find out what is the procedure

Good Luck

Can we schedule biometric appoinement in a city other than where interview is scheduled? My interview is in Mumbai (Feb 27th), but I was wondering if I could get biometrics done in Hyderabad where I will be going for Medical. Also, can the biometrics be done much earlier than the interview?

Thanks

Hi everyone

My interview is on Feb 27th at 7:30 AM in Mumbai (CC Dec 23rd). I want to prepone it otherwise I won't be with my husband for our first anniversary. Did any of you try to prepone or heard of case where they preponed when there is no expedite?

I spoke to rep at Mumbai embassy, but she did not know much and just asked me to send an email.

Thanks and Good Luck

When they assign interview dates they DON'T go by CC date, they will go by your priority date.

Oh ok. Thanks for sharing that.. I will still try my luck with embassy.

CC Dec 23rd. My hubby called NVC yesterday and I got interview date of Feb 27th Mumbai Consulate. I don't know why it got pushed to the end of Feb, I have seen people here in VJ with CC later than ours, who have got early Feb interview. Good for them, for we were also hoping for early feb interview. We are really upset. I will call embassy to see if they have got earlier slot.

Good Luck
