I was asked for the same and I have 0 children. 

What did you do do you just skip? Did they asked for more after you submitted your application?

I have 3 biological children living with me but in the list of evidence I was asked to provide proof of child support? What should I provide or should I skip the question?

Hi, my mother in law is a british citizen and qualify under ESTA but my wife and I would like her to stay longer for 6 months. My father in law on the on the other hand needs a visa to enter. They both live in the UK and my father in law is a permanent resident. They are both retired and look after their grandkids in the UK. Will it be difficult them to get a visa? What are the requirements since they not working?

Hi Caresse33,

 

I haven’t applied for citizenship yet. We are still waiting for the Green cards as we only arrived into the US on 2 Jan 21. I believe that as a spouse to a US citizen I can apply for US citizenship after 3 years and any of my children under 18 years at that time would automatically become citizens. However they will be over 18 by that time so I assume they will be eligible to apply by naturalisation after 5 years. I’m not sure in your case what the process would be if you are already a citizen and you child arrives to the US and receives a Green card.

 

I’s assuming by now you son is in the US?  hope  

Oh right! Yes my son arrived on 16th Jan 2021 and we waiting for his green card too. I arrived last year in March and my green card had spelling mistakes on it and had to order a replacement I have been waiting for my green card since july last year.

Hi Caress33, I wouldn’t upload the custody document unless they ask for it. To be sure you can email AskNVC via your account if your application is at NVC stage. Once your file is at the Embassy you can also email them to confirm. I was able to get advise on documents quite quickly using both these email services.  Definitively your sister should carry a copy of the documents when attending the interview with your son. 

When were you able apply for citizenship for your daughters?

My 14 year old son had his interview on Monday and it went well. He was only ask 1 question ‘Where do your parents live? He was approved and was told to wait for the collection email to get his passport at DX. However DX has sent an email stating they will close their facilities and the passport will be delivered instead. So we had to register for delivery , he should receive his passport tomorrow. We are super excited! I am sorry to hear about everyone else having their interviews rescheduled. I am bit nervous having him flight during this time he has to test 72 hours before his flight

Hi All,

 

First time posting here, We DQ'd 2nd October, Interview date 26th January!

 

Confirmation email came through today December 15th.

 

I have a question, the first step the NVC email tells us to do is 

 

"Step 1: Register online

Before your interview, you must register a delivery address for your passport’s return with the embassy’s online service. Registration is free. Click the “Register” button below to register."

 

On following the link and filling in the page to register a visa appointment we are getting the following error:

 

"The Immigrant Visa case number provided is not ready to schedule an appointment. If you have not received an appointment letter/email from the National Visa Center (NVC), you can check the status of your IV case at http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/immigrate/nvc.html.

If you have received an appointment letter/email from the NVC or an instruction letter/email from the Consular Section directing you to this website to schedule an appointment, please make sure to correctly enter your IV case number."

 

We may be being a bit dense in our excitement/nerves- has anyone done this stage yet have any advice on this? 

 

It may take a day for it to update on their system or should we start querying it immediately?

 

It takes a day or two before it update , try again later. It should be fine nothing to worry

My son was DQ on 17th August for IR2 visa, I still have not received an email. Now I am worrying since you both were after me. What’s going on? Or maybe they not processing children visa.

Hi, my daughters aged 15 and 16 were with me at the interview. The first officer, very friendly,  casually spoke to them chit chatting about how they were at an age to obtain a driving licence in the USA. No official questions directed at them.

 

The second officer who asked the official questions directed all the questions to me. From my understanding  they only require the children to be present. I guess this gives them an opportunity to get a sense of the relationship you have with your child. The only question relating to them was regarding custody as my daughters are from my previous marriage. However that wasn’t a problem as I was not asked for paperwork to support my answer. I did bring it though just in case. The official was satisfied with my verbal answer that their dad and I had a parental agreement in place which showed he supported the girls decision to move with me to the USA. 

 

Overall the experience was pleasant and the process swift. My daughters enjoyed the whole experience.

I am already in the United States so unfortunately I won’t be able to attend the interview with my son. However my sister will go with him. Did you upload any of the custody document in  NVC website prior to your appointment interview?I was not asked for any custody document at the NVC stage? Should I upload it then?

No need to apologize. It was accurate. It’s just that I am familiar with how many are fairly lost in this process so adding a layer of foolproofing  will help. Also there’s always those from other countries who want to chip in and their experience at another consulate may not be the norm in London. Every consulate has their own vibe for how they handle things.

Thank you that is helpful to know. Hopefully someone who went through this experience may notice this thread and share their experience.

Your thread title is going to confuse people who don’t know that much about the processes or visa names. Your question is about the children/stepchildren of IR1/CR1 visa applicants who are getting IR2/CR2  visas. A moderator can amend the title to something like:

 

London CR2/ IR2 (CHILDREN) Interview Appointment Updates LONDON

 

Go to your original post and on the right, click “Report Post”. Then you get a box to say why you reported it. Say you are requesting a title edit of your post to—

London CR2/ IR2 (CHILDREN) Interview Appointment Updates LONDON

Thank you I sent the report, hopefully they can change it soon. Apologies to the confusion i caused

Wait, so are you hoping to track the interviews and appointments updates of other members? Or looking for specific information regarding interview questions asked of young kids and teens? 

 

The title of the thread is a bit confusing as it’s a duplicate of an existing, active thread. I would have gone with something like “experiences with children at interviews?”

 

As for your question, I imagine that they’ll be looking to establish that 1) the child is actually your child 2) you’re able to support the child in the US. A 13/14-year-old child is unlikely to be committing visa fraud on their own, so I’m guessing most of the questions will be about making sure information is correct rather than hard-hitting questions about their intentions.

I am hoping to track both interview updates. Could you kindly share the other thread it might be easier if I just follow am existing thread. Thank you for your answer.

I started a new thread for CR2 and IR2 appointment updates, please share the thread if you can . Thank you

Hi, I thought I should start this thread since I was in in CR1/IR1 Appointment Updates but I need more information regarding children. My son is 14 years  and was documentarily qualified on 17th August. However he was 13th when he was DQ which meant that he didn’t need an interview appointment. However now he just had his birthday in November and now he is 14th. Does anyone know what sort of question they asked teenager? If anyone could share their experiences. We can use this thread to update one another our interview status. Thank you

Hi @Caresse33

 

I don’t have the answer but I know in certain cases ages are locked when a case is documentarily qualified. I would recommend starting a new thread and someone will come along with more knowledge and answer it I’m sure! Its more likely to be picked up on a fresh thread I think. 

Thank you 

Hi, I understand that everyone seems to be waiting for an adult visa appointment. I am waiting for IR2 visa appointment for my son who is a teenager 14 years old. Apparently when you 13 year old you do not attend interview however my son just turned 14 in November with this long wait, although he was DQ since August. I guess my question is , is there anyone here waiting for a teen appointment? Does anyone know what sort of question they would ask a teenager?

Try repeating the phrase 'infopass' or 'technical difficulties.' That should get you to a Tier 1 at least.

Thank you for help, I will try tomorrow

The biometrics appointment is for my EAD renewal that I applied in July. Even though I had my interview in November and already received my green card, they still scheduled me for the biometrics. I'll show up because I had to file for a I-90 and I'm hoping they use the same biometrics. 

 

You can only get an infopass appointment by calling USCIS. I called last week, Tier 2 officer called me today and scheduled me for 2 weeks after.

Thank you for your response. Which number did you called? Because every time I called it’s an automated machine who do not put me through to a live operator. I have been unable for weeks for speak to anyone.

I have an infopass appointment on 12/21 and a biometrics scheduled for 12/23, so hopefully not.

How did you book the info pass appointment? How long did wait before receiving the scheduled biometric appointment? I was unable to book info appointment on their website and I have been waiting for biometric appointment since June?

My wife received the I-797c letter to appear for a biometrics appointment in Tucson in December.  

 

From what I understood for identification she could bring her driver's license as an ID in place of her passport?  I ask because her Mexican passport expired a year ago (the one she used in Juarez when she got her CR-1) approved.  I just want to make sure what I understood from the letter is correct.  She also has a Mexican National ID that also proves her Mexican Nationality.  She is removing conditions. 

 

Thank you

How long did you waited before receiving the letter for the appointment? I have been waiting since June for the appointment?

Hi, I have arrived in United States in March and when I received my green card in April. They have misspelled  my last name so I return my card requesting for a replacement green card due to the mistake. This was since June and I still haven’t heard anything since I receive the notice. The update on my profile says that they will schedule a biometric appointment. I have been calling USCIS but there is no way to speak to someone it’s always the machine and no operator. The stamp on passport expires in March 2021. I am just very concerned and not too sure what to do here. Is there anyone in the same situation who can provide advice or any other number to call to speak to a live operator? Thank you
