Hello everyone,

Anyone here got visa approved from new delhi US embassy based upon CR1/IR1(Immigrant visa). How was your experience?

i too hope some one shares in recent interview experiences

Hi,

For those who have recently gone through the New Delhi Consulate, were you able to attend the interview with your spouse. I'm getting mixed answers on this. I've seen posts where some people say they were able to go whereas others say no. Even the nice gentleman at the visa helpdesk line seemed confused on this one when I asked him last night.

Thanks.

hope someone answers to this as me too needed the info ?

Hey no one updating the South Asia forum lately! Except for politics.

So, all went smoothly for my guy’s medical in Chennai today (22nd). Except the Consulate doc said there were “rules” banning him from giving any vaccinations to K1 applicants! What! I wanted my guy to get the cheap Indian vaccinations instead of here! After talking to the doc myself he finally agreed to give the vaccinations and a form that would be accepted at the AOS process, but wouldn’t be noted on the vaccination worksheet given here. It all seems fishy to me, I don’t get it.

I was happy that my guy could Xerox not only all the lab reports, but even the medical report was given to my guy’s hands and he could Xerox the whole thing before handing over to the VHS office (hopefully on Monday or Tuesday).

Phew! After Monday or Tuesday we can RELAX until the interview. Haha!

hi eileen

i really wish you best of luck for the interview from the core of my heart

take care ,

Yes this is a very stressful process so naturally tensions rise and due to that some arguments might come out. But one good thing is all the support we get here. Also knowledge is power so we know what to prepare for. Start now by gathering info they may request, so you have it ready just in case.

this mail scares me coz even i am frm new delhi

after such a long wait people are going thru ap

gosh its so terrible

I'm a bit worried about my case now after viewing many other cases on this site that were sent in after mine and approved much quicker. I've not received any RFE's so I wanted to call vermont and see if I can get some info about the case. However, on the USCIS site it states that they will not give you any more detailed information than the general posted case processing estimates. Is it worth my while to call? Will I be able to find out anything new?

Thanks!!!

even i feel there will be no point contacting congressmen or uscis

u should calll only when your petition is outside their timelines

there will be no use calling them now coz they will tell you to wait

so the hard and sad part is to wait patiently ,

To All the VJers,

Thank you so much for all the assistance.... my wife got her visa approved today after her interview at the Manila US Embassy. Our appointment time was 630AM and we were finished by 930AM.... the pre-interviewer was very nice and helpful, and the US consulate was extremely friendly.

This forum has been very helpful for me... thank you so much again to all!

God is faithful!

baldoako

congratulations awesome news

ok thanks a lot

hello

my husb did pay for the i-864 after it was generated he called up nvc and found out that

1 ) my question is which i-864 form should he fill

we have paid our all taxes up to date and above povert line

he is leaving for india to see me within 10 days we dont want to slpw the process howeveer

can he send the downloaded and filled up i-864 as soon as the 70 dollar fee is received ?

2) does he need to put barcode sheet or what above the form ?

3) does he need to send the xerox of tax returns ?

4) what else is required ?

thanks for the response

good luck now your wait ends finally

the I864 is not a bill, maybe you got confused when writing the message. before the I864 package can be generated, you have to pay the AOS Fee Bill. this is generated at the same time as the Choice of agent DS 3032. i called on tues and they were both generated so i sent the $70 for the AOS and emailed NVC from my wifes email address chosing me as the agent. my wife just received email confirmation 2 days ago that her email request for Choice of Agent was received. this does work if you want to speed things up, it took 3 days. look at my signature for dates but i remember reading somewhere that the automated service is updated tues morning, so call then or call and talk to an operator.

Dear Madam,

NVC has received the Agent of Choice selection. The Immigrant Visa

Application (DS230) processing fee bill will be sent to the designated agent on the

case. The fee must be paid according to the instructions before that form will be sent.

Please allow two to four weeks for the designated agent to receive this fee bill.

Regards,

National Visa Center

thanks so much jediknight for removing my confusion i was kinnda lot confused with this

you know what my husband called me up today and told that he called up nvc and nvc send the ds-3032 to me and the i-864 packet to him

guess what your and my time lines are running so closely from the time you n me filed till date a little one week difference

regards ,

m

You should be okay. I just put 5 photo copies of pictures of us together. I was told save all the rest of the items for the interview. We were sucessful with our I-130 our K-3 I129F took longer to process. Hang in there you will be a ok.

is sending photos of marriage important for i-130 also ?

i was just curious so would appreciate any response

thanks

Guys... I'm so mad! I didn't read the last line on the guide regarding sending evidence of a bonafide marriage for my I-130. I only read it now. I already received my NOA1 for my I-130 and sent in my I-129F and also received my I-129F! And i still didn't send it.

I really am upset that i mistakenly did not read that part!

What do i do? i really need everyone's help and opinions.

Thanks =(

dont worry wait for an RFE now or call them up and ask them

It typically take about 10-12 business days for the official documents to arrive from the NVC.

As Ausiwench indiciated in the previous post, you can e-mail the choice of agent as soon as it's generated.

i guess there has been some problm with mine i had my case no assigned long back almost going to be three weeks now almost but not yet 3 weeks but they still havent generated the aos bill yet

hubby called at nvc they told they generally take 1 to 4 weeks to generate the aos bill

is my waiting normal for the aos bill to generate at nvc ,

i never heard so much waiting for aos bill to generate ?

The AOS bill is usually generated a the same time they generate the DS-3032 Choice of Agent. 1-4 weeks is pretty much their standard speel.

but why shouldnt we send the email before the documents are generated

are there any negative effects on that ?

NVC will not accept anything until it is generated. Wasting your time to send anything to them earlier.

yeahh i got it

thank you AW

hello ,

can anyone let me know what is generally considered normal time limit for i-864 bill and choice of agent form to be generated

those who have got there bills can pls post their timelines below

will be appreciated

thanks a lot .

You can go for what is called a Titres test. They will draw blood and check it for what she has been immunized for.

I had to get a Titres done. They didn't have my records here in Canada.

hi stacey

how much time did it take for your titres and should it be done with the physicians authorised with uscis or any private clinicin will do for the titres ?

thanks

i am real sorry for what happened to you. i think your wife should check into hiring an immigration attorney to straighten out this mess. I hope that it will be taken care of very soon.

hello everyone,

I went to islamabad embassy on march 28 and my visa denied and they put rejection stamp , they didnt give me enough explanation that on which basis did they rejected my visa all they said , that you are unable to prove that ur relationship with ur petitioner is not solely immigration to the united states, we sending back ur case to nvc for further recommendations "

I dont know why did they punish me so badly , i gave them all proof phone bills, pictures, wedding pictures and in the end they screwed me so badly now NVC will forward my case to uscis and uscis will ask for more proof, i dont know wat the heck i suppose to do , can any one suggest me wat kind of proof uscis is going to ask and what should i do next time , i dont want another rejection stamp on my damn passport, it really hurts so badly i waited for 3 years and i got this reward if anyone went through this hell please let me know how did they fix their problem

i need help asap i am in very big trouble

itsok brother , but my wife got one already and she is going with her to uscis on monday lets see wt happens she told me not worry our case is very strong we have enough proof but i feel like i am ###### , i ###### up 3 years now i regret getting even married to be honest i never though that this visa can be so messed up man f*k it

hey your posts did upset me a lot

and when you had enough proofs they rejected the visa i couldnt understand that at all why they did that for no reason at all

travelling ll the way from united states to isb, pak isnt the joke but for your case its better your wife takes out some time and spends a month or so with you that will be the biggest proof of the ongoing relationship

i hope everything gets better soon

take care.

could I sent to AOS fee bill and tell my wife to email the choice of agent as soon as the 3032 and AOS bill are generated?

does printing the barcodes and the shortcut works with out problem from NVS.

thaks for you help

Yes the barcodes and the e-mail of the choice of agent to the NVC will work. Just be sure to wait until the automated phone message at NVC tells you that the two documents have been generated. Do not send anything before that.

Good luck.

but why shouldnt we send the email before the documents are generated

are there any negative effects on that ?

That process will take too long. IF she doesn't have the records, she can have a couple of the required shots when she goes for the medical, then when she gets here she can takes whatever that's need at the Local civil Surgeon. for form 693 medical supplement when filing AOS.

One little secret I would say, Once your wife gets here, add her to your medical, and find out what's the required shot, then make an appointment at your doctor on your insurance, gets the required vaccination they will ask for, so when you go the the civil surgeon all you have to do is show proof she had those shots already. IT's been awhile but you can IM me if you need more info i can dig for the I693 from India.

Hi Nikita2Charles,

Thanks! Makes sense to do it under medical coverage once she's here, but its significanly cheap in India as well, isn't it? She has a lot of time and could take the required shots over a period of time in India until her interview gets scheduled.

And does this mean that the medical requirements she will go through as a part of her K3 visa process in India is different for those required for Adjustment of Status in the US? i.e. they are more stringent once she's on American soil?! Or tougher before she leaves foreign lands and comes to US?!

/UM

even i have this doubt regarding vaccination

i too havent maintained the records despite i m upto date with all the vaccines

hoping that those with same situation can suggest more ?

proposed new fees:

Every time I try to view that link (it's linked to in a few places), it tells me I don't have permission because I'm not logged in. But I am. As you can see, since I'm posting a comment.

That happened to me too.... I am still trying to figure out when they are going to increase the fees, if it's on June...

samr thing even i cant open the link says i m not logged in

While my husband is not adjusting from K1 or K3, I still say this: while I would gripe about having to pay the increased AOS rates (and will have to pay the increased removal of conditions and citizenship rates, if he decides to become a citizen, which is still up in the air at the moment), having him here with me is worth a million dollars, and if I had that much money, I'd pay it. The 2 or 3 thousand we will pay is nothing compared to the thought of losing him.

is the fee increasing or a hype ? just inquisitive ?

Hi!

Could that be the reason ours has been sent to the California office..?

We sent ours to Nebraska but while apprehensively awaiting the NOA1 which still hasn't come we've noticed the cheque has been cashed in California.

Any ideas please?

If you haven't received your NOA1 by now, you will never get it. Like arwensun1965 said, you can get the receipt # from the back of your cancelled check. If you still want a copy of the NOA1, then you can call customer service to request one.

I called last week and I still haven't received it.

Yes, if she emails about the Choice of Agent, she doesn't have to send in the original DS-3032.

thats true she just needs to send e mai lchoice of agent

hope that helps raja

I don't see why not. When there's an attorney in the picture, he is often agent. And those attorneys for darn totting are *not* sponsoring their clients ...

As I understand it, the role of the agent is mainly to collect mail and get it on toward wherever it needs to be, keep petitioner and beneficiary aware of calendar issues, and that sort of thing.

yes thanks

i will keep record of all stuffs he does so that nothing is delayed in the end
