Thanks a lot..!!

Our case was F2A, but after i became USC it became IR-1.

Finally it's our turn..!!

Just last night I recieved email from embassy saying my spouse's file got upgreded and interview will be scheduled somewhere in May,.!!!

We both are so thrilled...!!!!

Thanks a lot for all previous posting and help..!

Good Luck to all who are still in wait..!! Do not loose your faith..!!

I don't think it a matter of "not wanting to share".. you are asking for people expereince as it relates to your specific situation.. it is very likley that most people are not in your situation and therefore can not share an experience they have not been in.

Most of the petitioners were USC's before starting the process.

In any case, I think your best option is to call or e-mail the embassy in question and ask where your case stands. If you say you've sent evidence of your citizenship to the embassy, ask if they have received it..

Good luck

Hello and sorry for replying after few days...! Got busy with other stuff..!

Anyway, I really didn't mean to upset you..! I was just little disappointed ,..!!

I m pretty sure people who have to wait tooooooo loooooonnnnnngggggg could understand our situation..!!

I will keep u guys updated if I get any info so that in future anybody could count on my case..!!

Hey Meauxna..!!

U have great memory. Well, thanks for remembering my post and case.

I only mentioned about Embassy because my file was transfered from NVC to embassy in Oct. 2005.

NVC does not have my case and that is why they told me on phone not to send them. I still could have but i know what will be the answer from them so why even bother them.

On the US Consulate general of Mumbai's Web site I see many people r getting interview for their IR-1 cases. But no one wants to share their experiance. I gues..s....!!

Anyway..!

Once again thanks for your reply.

Hello to everyone,

I have posted on this topic before, but at that time i was waiting to become citizen and send my proof to Embassy to upgrade my petition.

Now that I have sent already and it's been all most 3 weeks, I still have not received any letter from Bombay Embassy.

Can anybody please tell me would I or my benifisary be recieving anything from Embassay or they will directely send now Visa Packet.????

How long should I wait for inquiring..?? Should I email, call or write another letter..?????

My spouse and I both are so tired of waiting...! If anybody had gone through UPGRADING file Process please share your experiance..!!

All reply are kindly appreciated..!!!

Hello bubblesn,

Can you please share, where r u from and which foregine embassy you have sent your proof to upgrade your petition file..??

I am in the same boat and really want to know how long does it take..!

My file is in Bombay Embassy.

Thanks..! Will really appreciate your reply.

When was your file sent to Mumbai? I would call or e-mail the mumabi office to get clarification on what the next steps are. I would imagine when the mumbai office schedules your interview, they'll send you the appointment letter with instructions on what to do.

Hello devblt,

Was your question for me or for sadob..???

If you were asking generally, than my file went to Mumbai on Oct. 06, 2005. At that time I was Green Card Holder, now that I became USC, I sent them my certi. and proof of approval file letter. I just want to know if anyone have done this things before how long does it take for Mumbai consuler to upgrade a file.

And for how long should I wait before calling the embassay.?

All responses are greatfully appreciated..!!!

Hi, my case was completed at NVC and they have sent it to Mumbai, what is the next step? Will they send the packet 3 next? Can I just mail them the packet 3 since it is downloadable from the internet? If anyone has gone thru this, can they plz help. Thanks so much.

Hi this is tani,

If my memory serves me well. the NVC sends package 3 to Bombay and then Bombay sends it to you.

This is the website: http://mumbai.usconsulate.gov/uploads/imag...eQ/packeta1.pdf

You do step 1 and send it to them

And then step 2 is done after you send them step one or even before you get the package 3 from them. You need all those stuff by the interview.

you wait for package 4 which is the interview letter. telling you what date it is, usually 4-6 weeks after they get step 1 from you.

Good luck

Waaaiiiiitttttttt a minute..!! I am very confuse..!!

First of all thanks tani for the website. Now that the question I have is, in my case, based on the steps that website discribe, I have done everything. My spouse's file went to Mumbai embassay after they finished my case. But niether my spouse or me have received any letter from embassay saying that they recieve our file. Is that mean something is wrong..?????? Please help..!!

Hello Sadob,

Could you please provide your case information, like which catagory, when did it sent to Mumbai Embassay.???? Because I m in the same boat. I have sent my certificate just last week.

Wondring when did you sent your..! Please share your experiance.

It's been such a long period of waiting for me...(4 Years)...!!!!

Does anyone of you know after sending a proof of USC to Indian Embassay approximetly after how many days or months our Beneficiary should recieve the PACKET..?????

Does anyone of you ever have upgraded your petition (in Indian Embassy) after becoming US citizen..??

Please share your experiance..!! I will be citizen next week and going to send all doc. to embassy. Wanna know, how long does it takes for Indian consulars to upgrade a petition.

Hello everyone..!

I am new to this fourm..!

I have a question regarding upgrading petition F2A to IR1.

Can anyone tell me after sending a naturalization and appropriate letter to foreign embassy, how long does it take to get visa call??

Please share your experiance,..!

It will take 1 or maximum 2 weeks. I sent the proof of my wife's passport copy to US embassy in Islamabad and it takes almost 1 week from F2A to IR1.

Thanks

Hello Zaki,

thanks for the reply. I have one question though, looking at your date line, Did your wife recieve the 3.5 packet after they approved the file or they sent to you..???

Hello riz, I totally agree with you.

When I was reading this post, i noticed that your file was forwarded to Bombay embassy, is that right?? I am in the same boat, but the only different is my file went there in Oct. 2005. And still nothing now I am ready to upgrade my file can you please share your file information. I mean which catagory your file belongs too..??? and so things.
