Well, if they were rejected at the Embassy, they need to reschedule - unless you already did?- and print the confirmation this time - on paper, and bring with the DS-160 confirmation printed as well-.

after some maneuvering, they were allowed to enter but failed the interview.  Thanks again for the help.

You print it after scheduling.

Yes, they need the appointment letter confirmation.

Is it suppose to be mail to my in laws or me?  I did their paperwork.  

Hello, 

my parents in law got denied to entering the US embassy in Ho Chi Minh fir their tourist visa interview.  They bought the ds160 but it wasn’t enough.  They wanted an interview letter which I never received in the mail or email.  Can someone explain what document are they asking for?

You can still check the status online and find out whether anything was mailed.

how can I find out if anything was mailed?

Hi everyone! 
My husband and I submitted our I-751 in September 2020. I got an 18 month extension letter soon after that. Last July I had my biometrics taken and my status changed to “ready to schedule an interview “ on September 2021. In January 2022, I received my 24 month extension letter which expires this October. 
 

Is anyone in a similar situation? I see some MSC—— cases are moving much faster than mine. I’m scared of losing my job because of not having a renewed green card by this October. 
 

Any advice is greatly appreciated. 

I got the 24 month extension on 12/31/21.  My status changed "January 5, 2022, we are ready to schedule your Form I-751".  It's been 5 months already.  Sometimes I fear the mailman put my interview notice in the wrong mailbox.  

I got it.  Thanks

Well then it is fully in your own hands as to whether they are scheduled on the same day or not … pretty sure there is a family /group option too

Is there a expiration date  on scheduling the interview?  I did not know the process would be this fast.  They are hoping to visit the US around August 2023.  

When you say "Post Branch", I'm assuming that's a post office?

You may schedule the interview after paying the MRV fee and the payment has been reflected in the DOS online system.  No DS-160 approval required.  Just need to submit the completed form, then pay the fee.  The DS-160 entries will likely be reviewed only on the day of the interview.

 

where do I pay the fee again?

Usually you schedule the day for visa interview online. Is Vietnam different?

I'm not sure since this is my 1st time doing it.  From what I read, it's the applicant responsibility to schedule the interview.  I still wonder when is that allowed since the DS 160 has to be reviewed and approved by Dept of State.  

ok, after some more cropping, I got it to accept it.  So I do another one for my mother in law.  Any chance the interview will be on different days?

I just cropped it and it's still did not accept it.  So I clicked continue without uploading photo and it told me to bring the photo to the interview.  I guess that's still good?

yes these are for tourist visas.  I think the photos I have I more rectangular than square.  Maybe if I crop it, they will take it.  

I'm trying to fill out application for my inlaws(Vietnamese) on ceac.  When I uploaded my father in law's pic, I get a message that "head size or position relative to image dimensions may be incorrect".  Has anyone ran across this issue and how did you fix it?

Also, am I suppose to do one application for my father in law and a separate for mother in law?  It seems like this application asked mostly information about my father in law's education, work history, etc.

All the information the consulate requires for a B visa application is in the DS-160 form.  Your in-laws should answer the form completely and truthfully, then see how it goes.  Only way to know for sure if they will be approved is to apply.

 

I'm trying to apply for my wife's parents to visit the US.  When I fill out the DS160 online for them(they are not tech savvy), does it require a digital signature from my wife's mom and dad?

National Benefit center in Missouri, most likely going to have an interview at your local USCIS office. 

 Yes she can travel with the NOA (receipt notice) should have received already. The recept notice has a 24 month or (18 months) extension extending proof of her legal permanent residency  for travel, new job or driver license.

 

Extension letter plus expired conditional green card = proof to travel for 18 or 24 months after expiration of the green card. 

If you have filed an i751 and got the receipt notice you are good to travel.

Wow, I did not know that.  Thanks.  Her date of notice is 4/27/21.  so with 18 month extension, we should be able to beat summer 2022 timeline.  

Hi guys, I have two questions that I hope some could help.

1.  the service center processing the I751 is NBC.  Is that the Nebraska center?

2.  Wife's 2 year green card expired.  Is there anyway she can travel back to her home country and then reenter the US?

What about 2"x2" photos?

Thanks for the help.  I forgot to ask if I need to mail in the current green card or a copy of it?

yes

final question.  Do I pay with 1 check/money order or 2?

so $680 total?

I'm about to file I751 for my wife.  She came here on a CR1 visa.  On the USCIS website, it says "You must pay a $85 biometric service fee for each person applying ".  Is this included in the $595 fee or a separate fee?  Does this mean I have to get her finger print?

Yes.  I-751 and a lot of supporting documentation.

So fee is $595 and I pay the $85 biometric at the appointment?  And supporting docs is marriage cert, child birth cert, bills, pics....
