Wait until it's in your hand. no question.

Hello,

I am sponsoring my father and his visa has been approved. We are now trying to make travel plans. My father is a senior and his first time traveling and we want to make it as smooth as possible. We are wanting to buy a straight flight ticket from Manila Philippines to Los Angeles California (13 hours, no transit flights). It so happens that we have family in California, so we would be vacationing there and work around to where my husband and I pick up my father there. Now, my question is, is this going to be a problem with immigration customs and border since we are from KANSAS? Would they question him as to why his final destination is not KANSAS? Does this happen often? We plan to also show him around LA area as well, maybe stay for a week or so before coming home. Would it help if we buy/reserve his ticket to Kansas (showing the date one week after his arrival)? Or show our ticket as well, that we are there to pick him up? Am I over analyzing this? You really just never know with these things????

Thank you!!!!

If anyone ever has this problem, the only way to fix this is to call the embassy. Wait a week, and they unlock. What happened was my dad submitted but he never hit the confirmation. So it looks completed, but not really since he exited before he did the confirmation. So no, it will not show up anywhere, not in your email or applicant email, or the ceac website (other than a locked confirmation button). I panicked, but now I see no reason to panic, I only panicked because I didn't see anyone with similar experience. But I also called the embassy and emailed at least once a day.

I tried the instructions above. I called the NVC to walk me through in printing this, and it didn't work. They said that the U.S. Embassy in the Philippines are in the file, therefore it is locked. They said I would have to call the U.S. Embassy. I called them and they just told me they will escalate the issue, however there is no approximate time frame when they can fix this. My father is getting ill from all the stress. The NVC doesn't understand why he was turned away. They will be emailing me in a couple of days that even the NVC couldn't print the confirmation page. NVC also told me my father can show up for his interview and have the receptionist call NVC. NVC doesn't really seem to know what to do either. This whole thing is very strange and very stressful.

My fathers swears up and down he didn't receive an email. Anyway to get another copy?

Hi there,

I am petitioning my father. He submitted and completed his online DS 260 application, however, he did not print or save the confirmation page that he is suppose to bring at the interview. We tried going into the ceac website to print it, however, we are unable to because it is locked. He also doesn't have anything on this email. Has anyone ever experienced this issue? Is there any alternative? they won't even let him in the u.s. embassy without it. Please help. This is really causing my father to stress out, he already has health issues. Please help!
