Like others said, if it's an immigrant visa then just get onto the first plane to US, have them stamp it on entry, and you can walk from arrivals back to departures and leave and have 1 year to return.

 

If you need more time then you'll need to stick around long enough to file an I-131 for a re-entry permit, do biometrics, (denote that you want the permit sent to a consulate or DHS office abroad on the I-131), and leave for up to 2 years.

Okay thanks..😊

As @Dashinka stated, this is completely normal based on your medical exam date.  Good luck.

I now understand. Thanks so much!

You can enter the US, then leave immediately if you wish........ I would not let that visa expire since it would be a big, big hassle to get it re-issued.

Okay thanks. I’ll not let it expire.

You can leave on the next flight after clearing US customs and immigration.  Look at the small print on your visa, it says something like "upon endorsement serves as a temporary I-551 for up to a year".  So once you enter the US, and immigration stamps your passport you have a GC.  Considering your medical exam was done back in October, it seems like the expiration date is correct.

 

Good Luck!

Thank you so much!! Means a lot to me. I was really panicking

When was your medical exam?  One thing you could consider is come to the US, activate your GC, then go back and finish school.

My exam was done in October 2021. I think on the 13th.

okay so I can leave after just a week or few days?

Hello everyone 

I’m in a unpleasant situation rn and I need help as to how I’ll resolve this issue. 

my visa was issued on the 18th March but it expires next month. Is that normal?????

i need help because I’m currently in school and will be finishing in July so the plan was I’ll leave for the US once I’m done-which will be either in July /August.

school is in session now and I cannot leave midway through this sem as I’ll be writing my exams next month.

Any help? Should I contact the Embassy to inquire why this has happneed? Thanks…

Because the daughter was a minor at the time of petition filing.  CSPA age of an IR2 beneficiary is frozen at the time the I-130 is properly filed.  So the beneficiary's CSPA age is still 20.

 

@AKT -- Please follow @arken's advice above.

 

Okay thank you 😊.

Over 24 now,,   why wouldn't it change to F11 for unmarried daughter over 21

Yeah. So you think the Embassy wouldn’t change it?

The embassy made a mistake when trying to reschedule the interview. She needs to email the embassy with all her details reminding them of her IR2. They will very likely put her case back to IR2.

Okay thanks. Will do that. Thanks so much

Hi all,

 

I recieved an email to reschedule the interview today

 

thanks,

That’s good news. Please how did you reschedule your interview ?

Hi Everyone,

I’m  back once again seeking an explanation as to how my older sister’s 1R-2 visa changed to F11 visa class.

Our father petitioned for us in 2017, when we were both 20 and 17 respectively. Our case was created in 2019 and then completed the NVC stage in 2020. Our interview date was scheduled for November 2021, however, my sister sent an email asking for a cancellation and rescheduling of her interview because she’s out of the country atm on a student visa in a different country. I just checked on NVC and noticed that my sister’s visa class has changed from 1R-2 to F11. She’s 24 now and I’m 21 now. And mine is still 1R-2 

can anyone please help me understand what exactly is going on? I believe we are both protected by CSPA

you should bring the AOS form as well as all the documents you submitted to nvc.

Okay thanks.

Hi Everyone,

Please I need someone to confirm whether I have to bring the I-184 form AOS on the day of interview together with the Tax Return or just bring the Tax Return ?

Will the Tax Return be enough?

Thanks….,

If your interview goes well, the interviewer will give you a piece of paper with an email address to DHL. You will email DHL with your information: name, passport number, and case number. They will then email you back confirming your information and inform you that you need to pay a fee before they (DHL) will pick it up from the embassy. The DHL fee to pick up at their office in Accra is 52 GHC and 87 GHC for Kumasi, Tema, Takoradi and Tamale. They will email you when your visa is ready and you are responsible for picking it up from the DHL office. 

 

A word of caution, I thought once our application said "Issued" in CEAC it would only be a couple of days until we received the visa. However, on CEAC its states that it will be 5-10 business days from the time it was "Issued" for the visa to be ready for pickup. I went ahead and bought the plane ticket once I saw the application status as "issued." It would have been cutting it a little close if it would have taken the full 10 business days to receive the visa. My fiancé received his visa in 5 business days after it was issued.

 

 

Oh Okay. Thanks so much. Thanks for the caution too. Really appreciate 😊

Hello All,

Please I want to find out when do you register for courier service? Is it prior to the interview or after the interview?

Secondly, how do you register? Also, can anyone recommend any courier service provider…

Thanks..
