Please help me...................

My mother in law had her immigrant visa interview about 3 months ago. The embassy kept their passport and gave 221(g) mentioning that embassy will contact shortly. It's been 3 months and I checked the status with the embassy and they said the embassy administratively refused the case and they are dong standard processing now and will let us know about thier decission. If any of you have the same status and what happened next please let us know. Should we call the embassy and asked them whether they need any more information or documents. Thanks.

what was the reason they said?

i was on same boat for my mother and finally got visa after 2 years.

hi there...

finally finally my mother got the IV on IR5 category and i have question

1) valid for 6 months

2)

annotation

212(g)(2)(A)

upon endorsement serves as temoporary i 551 evidencing permanent residence for 1 year

what does it mean permanent residence for 1 year?

is that standard or what?

can anybody help me to understand....

" your mother’s immigrant visa case is still pending for issuance. Once issued, we will return her passport and the visa packet".

so when i asked what does issuance means:

Pending for issuance means “adjudication pending”

so am in good shape or what?

thanks.

As the law stands, she does not qualify for the I-601, however, recent drafts of immigration legislation have had a qualification for USC sons/daughters to qualify for the 601 for their parents. Keep an eye out for changes. Unless that happens, she will not be eligible for a visa until 2014 assuming that overstay was her only immigration violation.

where do i look for changes?

thanks

my mother last exist was in 2004 and i'm the petitioner (USC)

my mother had a interview on bases of IR5 category and immigration officer denied and request to send the paperwork that my mother overstayed for around 2 years

i dont really know what to do next and need help here... i heard about waiver i-601 but not sure if i can apply?

any help please?

thanks.

thanks Tay.

one thing i dont understand is why did NVC or my 130 accept if this is the case of 10 years ban? they could have easily told me up-front that you can not file for this applicant because of overstayed?

this is the new battle that i have to fight.

would you tell me what form is the waiver that i need to file?

thanks all.

First you need to know if your Mother was in the US for over 2 years. Until you know that you will not be able to take the correct action to try and get this sorted out.

i'm trying to understand which battle is the easy one

let say, if we say... yes we live 2 years then what should i do in that regards ?

let say, if we don't live 2 years then what should i do in that regards?

thanks.

my mother got blue letter with the following:

The consulate general regrets it is unable to issue a visa at this time. Section 221(g) of the US immigration and Nationality act prohibits the issuance of a visa to anyone who has failed to present the documents required in connection with his or her visa application or who has otherwise failed to meet the requirements of US law or regulations governing the issuance of a visa.

the following remarks apply in your case:

Documentation issued by the Bureau of Citizenship and immigration service (formerly INS) proving that you were lawfully present in the US from jan 2002 until feb 2004

my mother voluntarily departed from the States without expense to the US government and without an order of removal or deportation having been entered (just to attend my brother wedding) in 2004.

do i have to file for 601 form?

This is saying they think your mother was in the US for 2 years or so (Jan 02 - Feb 04). They want proof that she was there "legally" during that time.

If you cannot provide that information, then she is subject to the 10 year ban and will need to file for a waiver.

Strange - you say 1 month overstay - the US is saying at least 2 years overstay - which is it?

this is the new battle that i have to fight.

would you tell me what form is the waiver that i need to file?

thanks all.

not sure but this is what they saying

i heard about waiver form so should i file i-601?

the person who was interviewed my mother said, all the paper is good except the fact that you overstayed and if you bring the paperwork which permit you to stay then he is happy to give you the visa, however he handover some paperwork but not sure what code he mentioned but I'm still waiting for my mother to email me and i will post more detail soon.

my mother had interview(07/30/2009) on bases of IR5 category in India and visa is denied the reason given is overstays on visit visa, my mother overstayed for 1 month or so back in 2004.

not sure what to do next, i spend hell lot of money and go through all the trouble of arraging and paperwork and go through medical exam and spend lot of money and in the result the visa is denied.

why not the NVC told me about overstayed?

i'm confused need help.

My husband just had his medical interview at Chennai on Friday May, 9 2009. If you get to the lab by 8am or 9am, you can get the report the same day. My husband was at lab at 7am. He was able to get his lab done in the morning and get his doctor visit done in the evening. He want with Dr. Sanjay John. You want to call the doctor ahead of time to get appointment. Lab cost was Rs. 920 for x-ray test and HIV blood test. He was given 3 shots by Dr. John (Tdap, MMR, and Influenza) for fee of 3000Rs. Additionally, Dr. John's fee is Rs. 600.

Good Luck!!!
