Have you thoroughly read the full instructions on the official website ?

They don’t “Have “ to look at anything except the DS160 and any other requested documents.. … of which there are usually none

Because 1. there is no way the IO can verify the validity of a previously unseen document at the interview. 2. there is no time allocated for or interest in renewing documents at a visitor visa interview

Because the officer wont even look at it.

Irrelevant for your situation.

Yes. They will determine which of the vaccines you need.. and do them then. .. Some places will tell you to get by them done privately .. it may be cheaper.. then, when you provide the documentation to the clinic, they will finalise the medical i suggest you ask the question on the Canada subforum … How have people handled the lack of records and the need for vaccinations But go ahead with the DS 260 answers as I suggested .. You only need to decide how you are going to get the vaccines after NVC has sent your completed application to the Consulate

Put “No”. In the explanation section put “ Will be completed at Medical” assuming that’s your plan .. moved to IR1 process and procedures forum as this best reflects OPs question.

@yuna628 oh I hear you. Airfare prices are through the roof for me too. Over double what they were 4 years ago.. And with my parents declining health and increasing age 95 and counting) I need to be there more often .. 😵‍💫😓 Hope you get there soon.

Usually it is eye test, written test, practical test for someone over age 18/21 depending on state

Honestly .. you will be lucky to be face to face with an interviewing officer for more than 5 minutes. The IO comes to the face to face having reviewed your application DS 160 etc and is unlikely to change their mind from the decision they made based when they reviewed the submitted documents .. Im done.. out of here.

Not always. We adjusted status in 1981 from work visa then returned to Australia 8 years later. Returned 8 yrs ago on IR5 parent visa and both received new A number

Context. After the K1 holder arrives and marries, they just adjust status requiring a the sponsor to have a higher income than reworded for the sponsorship of a K1. Experience reveals many K1 sponsors don’t do research into the follow on required.. and find themselves struggling to post for the AOS process. This diy site and the v experienced members such as @ Boiler .. are simply trying to reduce “next step” surprises.

Problem with A is that at point of entry there isn’t going to be anything a lawyer can do to sway the mind of the CBP officer. The lawyer can reassure you forever that you are following legal options but you’re still at the mercy of the CBP officer

There is always a huge difference in just how each agent assesses each case at each entry. Technically you have done everything correctly .. but it is always the case that the individual officer makes the decision. Yes you added to the situation by not having the NOA with you. You have been warned, and your record unfortunately flagged , that you “may” be considered non resident because of your travel. There is no specific time period documented that would avoid this but the overall appearance as assessed by the officer who may or may not even listen to your explanation You may be wise to look at plan B .. move to the US asap and have your spouse meet the GC resident requirements here while waiting for the accreditation to be finalised. If you need 2 incomes, the GC holder can work .. get a job .. even if it’s not in the specialised area of expertise. When we moved to the US for the second time in 2016, I worked as a house cleaner. I am an optometrist of 40+ years, and a registered ( in Aust) professional clinical counsellor with 15 years experience .. So i understand the big problems with international professional transfer .. but if living in the US is important, dont throw away the GC for unnecessary delays

🤪 Always !!

Yes spouses have been granted a B2 .. usually where it is v clear that the USC has very strong longer term ties to the overseas country. But no one can say how one particular application.. yours.. will be assessed.

I digitized everything. Have kept some originals that cannot be replaced .. But yes it’s hard to shred all that isn’t it !!!

Then you will have to wait until you get it back. No issues

Yes. And give a better rate. They make their money off the internet they earn on holding the funds for 24 hours

I used OFX for $$ transfers. Far better rate than banks and can be fee free Need a US Bank to receive the $$ but it can be someone elses .. spouse/fiancé etc.

If the CBP officer was concerned about this indicating immigration intent, they would have refused you entry then.

Moved to “AOS from visitor visa” as this correctly reflects OPs current stage Organizer hat off *** Yes, your situation will raise some questions for the interviewing officer. Try to not take it personally. Even if the “red flags” are not real in your case, the IO will approach approval with caution and this will require robust questioning. Be well prepared, well documented, answer simply and honestly, don't offer what isn't asked for, stay calm and respectful.

Yes.
