..sorry the title is typo error..

Do I have to set an appointment? Or not anymore because my daughter is already a US citizen? ”..in order to process your Permanent Resident Card...”.

thanks

My wife and kid arrived last  2016. And I applied a US passport for my 8y/o daughter after a couple of weeks and received her US passport after a couple of months. She went to my country from the past few months with her mom for a vacation this year and came back after a few weeks. No issues or anything in the immigration.

And now, I received a letter from DHS USCIS contains:

Addressed to my daughters name;

“The texas service center has not received your Department of State issued Immigrant Visa Packet which should have been submitted by the Port of Entry (PoE) when you entered the US. The Texas service center will require a completed Lost Visa Pocket in order to process your permanent resident card.  In order to get the packet completed you must visit your local district office....”

I don’t quite understand, my daughter is already a US Citizen because she already have a US passport. Do I have to submit the immigrant visa packet myself or is it supposed to be shown or taken from  their (wife and child) point of entry or arrival last 2016? Was this letter a mistake?

Thanks guys. I paid $165 each online last January.

My wife and child got here by March 21, 2016, how long does their greencard gets here(MD)? I already applied their greencard online last January. Can I check the status online?

have to ? no, but it can be advantageous, so to do.

ssn chasing is always fun, wait 2 weeks after arrival, then get into a SSA office.

greencard arrival before passport app? No! why? there is a visa foil inside of the passport, that, once endorsed at a POE, becomes a Temp I-551 document, validity of 1 year.

How to choose a school? There's a school district in which you reside, and they have a website - containing phone numbers.

So you're saying that i dont have to pay/apply for my kids greencard? Because I already applied and paid for it.

I wasn't a citizen when my kid was born, after my citizenship, thats the only time i applied for their visa.

Im a US citizen, now my wife(IR1) and kid(IR2) are gonna be here by March, Do I have to apply for my kid's US passport right after they get here?

What are the requirements?

Do i have to get her a social security # first?

And wait for their greencard to arrive before passport application?

She is on elementary at 3rd Grade, how do I choose a school for her? Do i have to contact my county, or are they gonna let me know?

Thank you!

hi

do they both have their packets in hand? if you want you can pay the $165 for each of them for the physical green card that they will get once they are here

and also you can now buy them the ticket if they have the packet in hand

Thank you

The embassy didn't mention it because it has nothing to do with the US Embassy, it is all with the Philippine government.

Is it required before going to the US? So they're gonna stamp it on the passport? Does my child needs to go too?

Thank you guys, but how come the us embassy during/after the interview didn't informed them anything about this?

Do they still need to go on pdos or any seminar? The consul didnt mentioned anything about that

Do they still need to go on pdos or any seminar? The consul didnt mentioned anything about that

They already passed their interview and recently got their visa, where can i find the info after this? Should i just buy the plane ticket?

I got their schedule 4 weeks before their interview date.

1st week - APEC in manila, no transportation. So my wife cant go for their medical(her and my daughter)

2nd week(today) - my wife have a period(menstruation) so she cant go on a medical exam!?

3rd week - possible medical examination!?

Last week - interview day is Thursday!

Can the medical examination process/result meets the interview date?? Are they able to get the result in a week prior to their interview date?

Just in case, how do I reschedule the interview date? Can it be rescheduled in just a couple of days before? How long?

Thank you!

Thank you guys, pls keep 'em coming.

If your daughter is yours why does she need a IR-2 isn't she a citizen then?

Because i just filed my citizenship this year, then filed their petition.

If your daughter is yours why does she need a IR-2 isn't she a citizen then?

I wasnt a US citizen when she was born.

My wife's and kid's interview next month, what are the usual questions of the interviewer? Are wedding pictures and old bf/gf's pictures enough?

To those who had their interview before, kindly please share some questions that was asked.

Do they also interview or ask questions to my 7yo daughter? Because she always tell me that she doesn't wanna come to the estates yet, she is very close to her grandma in the Philippines, and im worried about it on their interview.

Medical is a first come, first served, no scheduling. I do suggest she complete the pre-registration form online and bring copies. http://www.slec.ph/us/registration/

Thank you

My wife and kid's interview on the 2nd week of December in Manila, where do i find the information for the medical services?

Do they have to set an schedule for the medical?where?

How much is the medical cost for each?

Also i have a correction on the form DS260 name of mother was misspelled, can my wife correct it during the interview?

You never send in the DS260, you complete it online and should complete it as soon as it becomes available

Read http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/National_Visa_Center

I think it will help clear up the process

and yes if you want you can send in your AoS package, you will just gain no advantage in doing so and it is best to mail in the IV and AoS at the same time

Thank you for the advice, i guess I'll just have to wait for their passports, i already paid and have access on the IV form/DS260.

Does the form i864 have expiration? I got it since August 12

Passport and police clearance are part of the IV packet, the AoS packet is your financial support documents

If you are talking about the packet as a whole and waiting on passport and police clearance, then wait until you have those documents to send it in.

So i can still send my form i864 with financial documents?

Then the DS260 later?

Sorry for the confusion, aos is almost conplete except for the passport and police clearance

I'm still waiting for my wife's and daughter's passports, but the Affidavit of Support documents are ready, can i still send it? I just checked "unavailable" on the list. Because i got the form since August 12, i need some progress.

Noted. Thank you
