Daa

Good to have as a student, even though most likely 85% chance the Consular Officer wont ask for them.

1. Status Letter ('hopefully' you are not in your final year because that loosens your educational ties a bit; but if you are, nothing to worry too much over)

2. Official Academic Transcript

3. School ID

Typical questions for a student?

1. What school do you attend?

2. What are you studying?

3. Do you like what you are studying?

4. What is your current GPA? (...just maybe)

5. What year student are you (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th)?

6. When do you graduate?

7. Where do you want/hope to work when you graduate?

8. Who pays your tuition?

Other general questions:

1. Have you ever traveled to the US or any other country before?

2. Why do you want to travel?

3. Do you have family in the US? If yes, where do they live?

4. How long do you intend to stay?

5. Who do you intend to stay with?

6. Will you be travelling alone?

Try to keep your nerve and not get too shaken by the tight security environment. In all reality you probably wont be in front of the consular officer long enough for he/she to ask you this many questions.

Don't over do the formal dressing, really not necessary to look all uptight. Besides all the formality makes you feel that much more uncomfortable, right? Moderately dressed is fine, no matter if male/female: cover your toes, cover your knees, cover your chest and upper arms.

Last but not least, say a prayer before and after, no matter the results.

All the best!

Sounds simple, thanks!

Hello everyone, any suggestions/advice on what to take or expect at my biometrics appointment? How long does it take? whats the procedure?

Thanks for the replies everyone!

Do I need to submit a medical I-693 form or any vaccination records from the medical when filing for AOS?

Thanks in Advance!

Quick question VJ members, on my I-94 the immigration officer wrote 'work permit authorized'. I already have a SSN since like 3 years ago. Im still going to file for EAD but anyone had similar experice? What does the fact that 'work permit authorized' was written on my i-94 mean? Am I already eligible to work?

Thanks!

Yes.

Got it, thanks everyone.

I had my interview a few days ago. However when I got home I realized that I (benificiary) did not get back my birth certificate as it was requested at my interview. It is an original copy. Is that normal, do I get it back in the package when my visa is delivered to me? any similar experience let me know ASAP please.

Its just a matter of finding out the services offered then, thanks!

Thats what I mean, taking it to the courthouse yourself. Thanks!

Can someone leave me an outline of what you sent in your AOS package; and how long did it take to get back a certified copy of your marriage certificate? I read that if you physically take it yourself to get it certified you can get it back the same day versus sending it by mail where it may take a few weeks. Any truth to that?

Thanks!

Nothing from you. He will not have to fill out any forms. The RGD employee will do it on the computer, that was my experience. I paid for 6 weeks service and got it after about 3 weeks.

It is. Tip for your medical: make sure you arrive early...like really early....even before 8am. I had an 8am appointment and got there few mins after 8am and was number 36 in line!!! it took all day. I left at 3pm. Its a lot of people and things just move slow...a lot of waiting in between steps of the whole process.

Hello all, quick question; once you arrive at the embassy for the K1 interview, you are let in right away correct...no waiting outside in line?

Ok I see. Next thought that come to mind is to just call your embassy in Paris to find out why.

The visa fee is not paid at the embassy,I've never heard of that scenario before. Go ahead and register online, pay the fee;and once the fee is processed,if you paid at the bank (usually takes a few days) or if you pay by card (processed immediately) you will be able to schedule your interview.

Those days that are 'grayed out'are not available, that is the reason why they are grayed out.Only those four that you mentioned are currently available. In Jamaica K1 interviews are only scheduled on a Friday. Idk if it is the same in Paris. Are those available dates you mentioned on a Friday? You will have to wait until a suitable date for you becomes available, keep checking frequently everyday.

Best of luck!

Hello all,

Anyone from Jamaica,what proof of relationship and financial documents (along with I-134) were asked for and reviewed by the CO at your interview?

Thanks!

Thanks!

I think it's 50:50. You guys meet the requirements currently, which is what is required of you now.It's a matter if the interviewing CO asks about the future.

You will need to do the I-864 once you have entered the USA. So If he doesn't make enough then, you will need a cosponsor.

As for right now, on paper you meet the requirements.

Well if it is a hardcopy form then you should complete it by writing. If it's online then you type it in and submit it.

Hello, ok if you have official instructions then there is no issue I suppose.

Where did you do your medical? Did the hospital send it directly to the embassy? I am a bit confused, if you are a K1 visa applicant you should have already paid the visa application fee and set an interview appoinment/date online.

Hello,

Anyone from Jamaica got an actual appointment letter (packet 4) from the embassy for your K1 visa interview?
