  1. @appleblossom Thank you!
  2. Hi All, I have crossed the border and activated my Green Card. It was smooth albeit, it took about 1.5 hours. Is there a link to check the status of green card printing? I tried https://egov.uscis.gov but it displays the message "The receipt number entered is invalid". Not sure what the receipt number is! Thanks
  3. @Journeyman23 My apologies, I did not feel comfortable enough to discuss the questions you mentioned, with the Consulate staff. They all looked too busy.
  4. Dear all, Happy Thanksgiving! I'm happy to share a summary of our recent visa appointment, which I hope will be helpful for those of you preparing for yours. First, there's no need to arrive significantly before your scheduled appointment time. They will reorder you in the queue based on your appointment slot. Here's a breakdown of the process: * **8:00 AM:** We were called in. You'll need your passport with two photographs. After a security check, you'll be directed to a locker for your phone. * **Upstairs (First Floor):** A desk attendant will ask you to arrange your original documents in the specific order listed on the slip they provide. They will then take the originals, place them in a folder, and return them to you to present at the first window. * **First Window:** We presented the folder. The officer asked if we had any valid visas in our expired passports and requested to see them. He confirmed our address, phone number, and other details, then asked us to wait for fingerprinting. * **Second Window:** We were called for fingerprinting, which took approximately five minutes for both my wife and me. * **Waiting for Interview:** We were directed to wait for our interview. * **Interview Window:** After about five minutes, we were called to the interview window. The interviewer greeted us, administered an oath (which we signed with fingerprints), and asked the following questions: * Past work experience in the USA * If we had ever been denied entry * If we had ever been arrested * Where we are currently working * I was also asked to sign the employer offer acceptance certificate. Our visa was approved, and we were out by 9:15 AM! A long and patient wait came to a close. Many thanks to this forum and its members for helping us understand the process and for providing valuable inputs that eased the tougher tasks. I hope this overview helps you prepare for your appointment.
  5. Sure, will keep that in mind.

  7. @Canadian24Great! Thank you!
  8. @Canadian24 This may be a silly question. There is no restriction on carrying a file organizer, right? I am planning on carrying a "Tamfile Fireproof Accordion File Organizer". Appreciate your contributions to this forum and wishing you the best in USA.
  9. Congratulations! Happy for you and a big thank you for listing out the process.
  10. @Qwerty1 I recently completed my medical examination using my Canadian passport, even though I had used my renounced (Previous Nationality) passport when filing my case with NVC. I confirmed with my attorney that such situations are common. They advised that I should carry both my old, renounced passport and my new Canadian passport. You may also need to provide proof of your other citizenship. In my specific situation, my old citizenship was renounced. I hope this information is helpful.
  11. @Canadian24 Thank you!
  12. Hello friends, Have some questions. Hope someone can help me. We acquired Canadian citizenship after filing our DS-260 and the DQ date. Registered for Consular interview using the old passport details as it was filled in the DS-260(Attorney confirmed that we can mention that we have a different citizenship currently, at the time of interview). Now trying to register for Medical appointment and it asks Passport details. Should we fill in our Canadian passport details or does it have to be matching DS-260? Thank you
  13. Oh ! I was trying to book one with Dr. Lyndon Masceranhas through https://app10.ivmis.com/register/start
  14. Our interview is scheduled as well on Oct 10th. One step closer!
  15. Congratulations @Mano17, @Crayons and all the best!
