At the interview they gave my husband a white sheet of paper with one small paragraph explaining that the case was part of the new system. The officer didn't really look at it. He didn't ask any other questions, it was very quick. I'm not sure why they say it can take up to a year, but the visa acts as the green card for one year, so maybe that's why they say that...cuz they really don't know how long it will take!

At the interview?you mean in 🇹🇷 at the embassy? Cuz my husband does have something like this. Can you tell me later  how and when he will receive his SSN please thanks alot

Why would there be bad news if they have a visa?

I don't know maybe they don't let them enter at the entry?

Hi all,

Has any dual citizen from one of those countries (travel ban)with immigration visa gone through the immigration process recently at the US airport? Any bad news at all?

please let me know thanks  

Hello friends 

Has anyone had an experience entering to the US with the passport Only? Applicant who does electronic application they receive the passport with no package from embassy as my understanding. I need to know what you did at the airport? Did the officee ask for it? thanks

I am in a similar situation for Hong Kong.  My hubbie will be interviewing in the end of the month. The kids and I will have to move in July anyway, and hopefully hubbie’s visa will be issued at the same time.  We have:

 

(1) us bank account

(2) driver’s license

(3) letter from brother

(4) signed quote with moving company and deposit receipt

(5) one way plane tickets for me and the kids

(6) email communication with school registrar and realtor

(7) resignation letter for my current job and clearance of tax with Hong Kong tax authority 

(8) school withdrawal letter for the kids

 

hopefully this is enough. Congrats on getting through this painful process!

I contacted a lawyer before I started our process as well. I’m living abroad with my husband. The lawyer told me the same thing. He said I can’t do it and I should just wait until I “move back” to the USA. I’m so glad I continued to research and my I-130 was approved two weeks ago. 😀

 

just curious, did you prove that you maintained your domicile or that you had intent to re-domicile? I’m not sure I have enough evidence to show I maintained domicile.  I might have to take the 2nd route.

 

Also CONGRATULATIONS!

Thats good that you did ur research. Well in my documents that I submitted to NVC yes i have sent some documents such as My US bank account statement , my brother wrote a letter that we are going to stay in his house, i have contacted some shipping companies for quotation through email and just printed their replies,wrote a letter that I am going to move before or same time as applicant and copy of my SSN and DL thats all. The officer didn't ask any of those in his interview tho. Good 🤞

my passport expiry date " 16 February 2019  "    9 months to expire and my process almost in the middle I'm looking at when approach the interview I will have passaport less than 6 months 
I change it now? but I applauded in USCIS with this I have now, or I wait until the interview approaches? or what is the solution ?

Thank you 

USCIS take about 6 or 7 months for NOA2 and after that another 2 months for NVC  so you still have plenty of time. you can change ur passport by Nov or Dec.

That is correct. If persons are over the age of 18 and are being told they need shots not on the list for that age group, then they are wasting a lot of money. I mean... sure they can go ahead and inject with things they don't really need if they want to though.

 

Here is a CDC printout for immigrants. https://www.cdc.gov/immigrantrefugeehealth/pdf/revised-fact-sheet-fed-reg-notice-vaccination-immigration.pdf

You'll note it states AGE APPROPRIATE. Then it moves on to discuss a list of vaccines, some of those vaccinations will not apply to all immigrants due to age. Thus this is why one should refer to the technical instructions for civil surgeons when determining which vaccinations they require for their age group. https://www.cdc.gov/immigrantrefugeehealth/exams/ti/panel/vaccination-panel-technical-instructions.html#tbl1

 

For other reference, a BCG is not given to individuals in the USA. It can give false positives for some skin TB tests. But there are plenty of ways, and newer tests that shouldn't produce such false positives... the question will be if the civil surgeon can be bothered with that. It should be mentioned to the doctor. Titers are also generally not needed, unless you don't have proof of anything in your life... You will not need the chicken pox vaccine if you have had chicken pox in your life. If the OP has had measles and mumps illness previously, they will still require you to get the shot. It won't hurt you, and likely, will boost protection in the future. MMR is two doses though, and must be spaced out.

 

 

OMG guys is really confusing everyone have a different experience and i am so confused what should I do for vaccination.

I had my all the vaccine when I was a child and my Q is if I do blood test to my own family dr base of his note, will the Immigrant Dr accept my record?

Hello,

 

I just did my exam in Maryland and yes civil surgeons do rip you off. I had titers done thru our insurance and had all the proof with me, but they still didnt accept it and made me redo it and of course pay for it. They said immigration is very picky yada yada yada.

Anyways First of you do not Hep A thats for sure.

You do need Varicella, MMR, Hep B, Gonorrhea, Tdap (for tetanus) and syphilis. I would definitely search for another one because this is too expensive.

I paid $278 for a MMR titer, Immigration Physical, Gonorrhea, Syphilis. I had proof for my Hep B and did have Varicella as a child so didnt need to get it verified.

 

I am not sure if you have insurance or not but if you can have it at a low cost, get a titer to prove that you had some of the vaccines

For the ones you are missing, contact your insurance and see if they would cover it if you get it done at a clinic.

When searching for another civil surgeon make sure to ask them if they would accept titers from other places and get all proof for the vaccines

Hi where did you get ur vaccine? Shall we do it our family Dr? Because when i told my primary dr he said I can't do immigration vaccine because they will reject it. So how can i get all those? I had done some of them before but no record on my hand.

Yes, we got case complete yesterday! Now we wait for the interview date...I don't think we'll get one for May but I'm hoping June! You should give them a call & see what they say about it still processing. 

Oh nice glad. hopefully, we can get the interview by May  or Jun at least.I called them they said usually about a week. when you get ur medical, when do you go for vaccination so you have all on hand when you see the Dr? I heard if we have everything with us then is easier.

For electronic uploading there is no choice of agent form ds-261. You should be able to pay both AOS & IV fees at once. Then after those change from "processing" to "paid" it will open up the IV form ds-260 & the tabs to submit documents. You are uploading correct? Not emailing?

Hi so i just checked the status of the fees, and both IV and AOS is in a process which is right is not 2 days yet, but how come I have an option (start now )to upload AOS document NOt IV.

Congrats!

No, I didn't do that, and there's no cover letter to send. You'll see the way they list it for you when you submit the docs...for example they have a line for birth certificate, you click upload & submit it. So there's no way for them to lose it...I hope lol

ooo really? I have Iv and AOS cover letter and explant what document i am sending :)))))))))))) Thanks anyways what is AOS or IV barcode ? do we need to have that one.

I just paid my fee. But i couldn't find choose of agent. the 1 page I log in is Fee nothing else is it unusual?

Depends from which country, but we use OFX from Australia... they are worldwide.,  exchange rate can be up to 3 to 4 % better than banks, and their fees are small, if any... the fee depends on how much you are transferrng

From Australia to the USA and the fee basically more than $80,000.

can you tell me how do you transfer do you contact them or just online? and how long does it take to transfer to ur US bank? I think Bank just charge $10 for any amount but you should have US dollars but the exchange rate expensive this day
