  1. Hi,

    I am applying to remove conditions on the green card. In visajourney posts I read that once the I-751 document is submitted to USCIS, the NOA document sent automatically extends the green card by one year.

    My question is during this time after receiving the NOA, if we need to leave the country for a trip can we do that? How long the whole process of removal of conditions is going to take for VSC?

    Thanks,

  2. hey guys now that i am back home in US i would like to take this time to review how the interview went , in chennai.. since i was there with my husband

    it was on july 28th at 8am

    we stayed at crystal residency in chennai

    it was ok excpet for the fact when the lights went out at night and it was HOT!!

    but anyways we got to the counsulate line at 745am

    they make you stand outside

    then when we got to the counter and my husband showed his appt letter and passport

    i did the same, they gave me a hard time to let me in.. then finally let me in with him

    as soon as we entered my husband got called to the window so we walked to the window

    the indian officer looked thru our file

    asked to see our album, she said she liked it

    asked if it was love marriage

    asked if i filed my tax returns

    she made my husband sign part 2 of ds230

    asked me how long i am visiting for then asked us to sit down

    we sat back down at 810am

    then at 12 we were called up by the american officer

    the first question we were asked was "when did you get here"

    i said july 24th, i took 2 weeks off from work.. she said oh you must be jet lagged

    then went thru our file

    she asked my husband how did we meet

    we told her we have some phone cards emails and albums shes like no i dont need to see anything i trust u

    she took my husbands finger prints

    then she said ok i am confident u wilget ur visa but i need additional time to review your case of 4-6 weeks and gave us a b lue paper 221 g

    she said oh im sure ur friends missed ur wedding, i saidya we have a reception planned, she said oh good! u can eat lots of cake... and smiled

    she was nice and we thought we had it

    Well she had like 15 minutes of interview. She was asked like :

    1. How did you meet your husband?

    2. For how long?

    3. Photos of the marriage and also other photos with my Father in Law etc.

    4. They did not ask for any emails, chat or phone calls. But my wife had them ready just in case.

    5. Where is she working?

    6. Where am I working?

    7. I was married before, so they asked her where I was married before and about my divorce.

    Thanks,

    Sobhan

  4. Hi,

    I have a quick question for you all. My wife is going for an interview on Aug 11th and I am wondering if she needs to take a copy of the I-864 document along with her?? I already submitted to NVC and it is accepted.

    I am not sure if the folks at the embassy asked for that again?

    Thanks!!!

  5. Hi Everybody,

    I have a question about the IV visa fee? I applied for CR1 and my wife have a scheduled interview on Aug 11th. When I browsed the chennai consulate website they mentioned about $400 immigration visa fee. I think I already paid NVC this fee. Am I right? Or I need to ask my wife to take a DD for $400 for the visa interview?

    Thanks for the help,

    Sobhan

  6. Hi,

    My wife's interview is on Aug 11th at chennai consulate. Thanks posting the instructions. That is very helpful.

    One question I had is How do you get all the immunizations before you go to the medical test? Does the list need to include the immunizations for the once mentioned in the interview packet? Do we take a letter or something like that from the personal doctor?

    Another question is they mentioned we need to take a DD for $400 for the interview? This is not the same as what we paid during the NVC process right? This is in addition to that?

    Thanks,

    Sobhan

  7. I am receiving the following message when I use NVC automated message, "NVC received the documents and found some missing information and send a letter with what is missing". The last thing I did was I paid the DS-230 bill and before that I sent in 864 EZ. So I thought I got an RFE for 864 EZ.

    I just talked to a NVC operator and she says everything is fine with the 864 and they are waiting for DS-230 info. Suprising this message comes up for a document that I did not send yet!!!!

  8. I tried to pay the IV Bill today morning using online system with no luck. I entered all the information and then it comes back with an error while processing that the payment system is not available.

    :wacko::wacko::wacko:

    Try to pay after 4:30 pm eastern time and what error you are getting?

    I just paid it. Looks like it is back up now. Thanks!!!!

  9. I just received an email from NVC. They accepted the email I sent for DS 3032. This is the email I received,

    Dear Sir or Madam,

    Your inquiry has been received at the National Visa Center (NVC).

    Application (DS 230) processing fee bill will be sent to the designated

    Yes, this is the same email I received. Yes this is not the confirmation email. I am trying to call NVC today but look's like the calls are not going through.

    even my email has not been accepted either!!!

    if it doesnt, and i get the ds3032 form can i go ahead and mail it with EXPRESS MAIL so they get it the next day? since i will be the agent ( im the us citizen)?

    Yes. I think that will be a good option.

  11. Yes. I think they have recently added that feature.

    I just looked at your time line. You got yours by 4 days. Congrats.

    I sent the email on the same day as you and I did not receive the email from them that they entered it into thier system. I did get the confirmation email the next day.
