Thank you so much. This is a lifesaver help. 

Hi,

I am not sure where I need to post this one.

I need to get a OCI card. 

I am currently a US Citizen, formerly born in India. I did my schooling/college in India before coming to US via immigration. 

But I don't have a Indian passport (possibly lost). Can I still apply for OCI card if I don't have the Indian passport in my possession?

Thank you

Hi,

I am from Washington state and when I was looking at this

https://www.uscis.gov/i-751-direct-filing-addresses

It says I can mail (if I am using UPS/Fedex overnight) to this address >>

USCIS
Attn: I-751
1820 E. Skyharbor Circle S
Suite 100
Phoenix, AZ 85034

when I look up this address >>

USCIS
1820 E. Skyharbor Circle S
Suite 100
Phoenix, AZ 85034

it says this has been closed. If this has been closed - what should I do? We are 14 days away from my wife's conditional green card expiration (I-751 process)

Please advise - Google says its CLOSED

I learnt a new abbreviation today >> AFAIK ( thank you)

Hi,

I am jointly filing for my spouse Removal of conditions on her green-card. The issues is today is 5/25/2020 (and we have 30 days before the expiry of the green-card, from today)

When I downloaded the LATEST I751 from USCIS.gov >> the downloaded form says >>

OMB No. 1615-0038

Expires 12/31/2019

when I complete this form and send all the docs with it, will it get denied because the form itself expires on 12/31/2019?

I am worried. Please advise

Thanks

In my country tourism visas are always b1/b2 especially for multiple entry visas. The singular ones are less frequently used unless the visit is specific to medical treatment (b2) or solely business (b1). 

Oh I see...... I also heard something somewhere but couldn't recall. Thank you

If you select a B1 DOS will go into more detail about your work.   People that work for companies and need a B1 are far more less likely to overstay than someone who is entering on a B2 and planning to overstay.

 

The applicant has to prove to DOS that they do not have immigrant intent.

 

If your parents have visa stamps that does show they have returned home.

Thank you Paul, that explains it. thank you 

Somewhere I was reading that B1/B2 types are mostly approved wth few instances of B2 so I was not sure there. Once they approve your Visa, that visa is like for several years I am assuming

Is he coming for a conference too?  No then just pick B2.

 

I thought you mother was coming.

 

Has you father traveled to places needing a visa before?

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the clarification. Yes, both my mom and dad are planning to come to US. My dad - he is not coming to a conference, just family visit 

Hi

there are only two applicable options in this scenario - 

Business & Tourism (B1/B2) 

OR

Tourism/Medical Treatment (B2)

So which one here would make most sense?

Thanks

What most of folks have done, in your scenario? any feedbacks will be appreciated

Hi All,

My dad is applying for a visitor visa to US, to visit us. I am a green card holder and my husband is a US citizen.

So when my dad is in the travel section (please see image) of the application -

For the "Specify" section - what should he select? 

thank you

No sponsorship for a tourist visa.

She completes a DS-160, schedules an interview, then interviews.

https://ustraveldocs.com/ for her country may have specific instructions.

Thank you

Hi,

My wife will be coming to US for the first time on a spouse visa. Somewhere I heard that when you fly in, as a first-time immigrant, you get unlimited luggage in air flight.

Not sure if that's true or false. Have you heard of anything like that?

Thanks

Hi,

My wife got the letter from NVC stating the date of visa interview at the Mumbai US consulate. 

My question is: when she has to schedule the medical exams, should she schedule it 2weeks or few days before the interview day? How much earlier or shortest time is it preferable to schedule the medical prior to the visa interview, given the time to receive the results back?

Thanks

Hi All,

I have already sent the supporting and other documents in one package to the NVC for my wife who is India. I also completed DS260 and DS261 online.

Today (3/23) - NVC told me that they have received all of my documents as of 3/22. They told me that it might take up to 11 weeks before they sent out the next email for next steps.

Let's say if my chance is good  - they sent an email in only 6 weeks from now  - lets say 3rd May.

Now in that very letter will they already have sent a future US Consulate interview date? like 4 weeks after 3rd May?

If anyone has gone though the process, please indicate the approx timeline in weeks/months between the time you get the first review letter of NVC (after DS260,261 submission + all documents  received by NVC) and your US consulate interview. Knowing this critical information will help us get ready for many other things

tHank you
