Hi All,

My parents applied for a visitor visa at US embassy in India on December 21 which got denied under 214(b).

My question is that when should they reapply as i think they meet the criteria for getting a visa.

Secondly we were blessed with a daughter on December 27 th and my parents would like to see the grandchild. She is going to be in the hospital till March as she was born 2.5 months premature.

So what should be my parent's prime reason to visit when asked. 'Tourism' as before or visiting their family(us and the granddaughter) ?

Why I am asking this is as these posts about pregnancy and visiting a grandchild not being a good reason for a visitor visa are making me feel nervous.

Please let me know how i should go about it.

Thanks

YEs This morning it has been accepted at the post office. Will get it hopefully by friday.

Thanks.

No information of the visa package on the canadapost website. Had my interview on friday..

Is this something to get worried about, provided i know that packages of other people with the same inteview date got posted out today.

Thank you all. The journey has been much more easier and informed because of all of you and the resources on VJ..

Thank you very much. Waiting for the visa now. No information on the canadapost website as yet.

APPROVED.....

Will post my review as soon i reach home.......

Yes in my opinion these are just the correspondence instructions for direct enquiries to the Consulate in Montreal given in the letter itself.

So dont worry about it/

Got the medical done at Dr. Howard Seiden & Associates, Toronto on 22nd. IT was simple and easy. Went in at 7AM and was out by 8 30. Looking forward to the interview now...

Good luck to bern, la souris and frequent flyer for their interviews next week... we will wait for the reviews

My wife is the petitioner and she changed her job after our case was completed in Jan. Now do we need to resubmit the updated I864 with the latest employment letter and pay stubs in original at the interview? Secondly do we need to give them the latest tax return as well..

Well, since almost every time I make a change to this, to get it sorted out, I am getting an error message that the database isn't working, i'm going to start a spreadsheet and post a link here for the time being, will let you know when that is done.

Trailmix

We r missing JaJo08 on the timeline list i guess...

Got the eagerly awaited email today.. April 9th it is..

I am sure others would have got it too..

you are going to need proof of reestablishing domicile.

I am sorry trailmix, i was not able to explain myself properly. My wife is the petitioner and has a US domicile, job, apartment etc so its not a question of reestablishing domicile. However i am the benificiary and am currently on a student visa in canada about to graduate in April. However i have completed the course requirements of the degree already.(20 may-convocation).

Anyways as u put it, i would take a letter from school that i am graduating in April end along with the official transcrpits. I was also wondering whether my student status in canada has any bearing on my case or the interview?

K&I should have their interview scheduled as well by now. I suggest calling NVC if they are already not annoyed at our calls.. heh..

I havent received the official email as yet. I wonder if Salnik and others have. However, I did call NVC this monday, to confirm the date.... cant believe it till i read the email twice..

Anyways, I am a management student here in canada on a student visa and my convocation is 20th May. I am already done with the requisite courses and need your advice as to whether i need to take my official transcripts or a letter from school saying that i will be done with my MBA in April and have took all the required courses to graduate. Or just a verbal confirmation should do?

Just curious if my student status in canada has any bearing on my application which i guess wont be the case.

Thanks

I finally got through...after 40 minutes on hold! Got our interview date: April 27 @ 8:00am!

Woo hoo! Time to make travel plans!

Great news!!!

Hubby and I have been calling the NVC throughout the day! Their line is busy!

I got through to them twice today.. Try harder and trust ur luck..

I just went through all my documents and methodically reorganized them according to Sdhiman's list. I also put Post-It tags on all of them, just in case. I'm DEEPLY comforted by your review, Sdhiman...you have no idea! I've gone from being "pretty sure" I have everything I need to being downright confident that I do. I've got extra copies of most things as well.

Thanks again!

Hi Everyone,

I am in Indian Citizen in Canada and got married to a US Citizen last year. My wife has filed a petition for my CR1 visa and i am expecting an interview date at MOntreal consulate in a couple of months. I got to know that the indian consulates or even passport offices back in india offer services to enter the name of the spouse on the Indian passport.

What i am wondering is whether i really require to get that entry done provided i have the marriage certificate as a proof of marriage.

Please help and show some light on it. Thanks in advance

Thank you so much Sdhiman. Please do let us know how the interview goes. And yes , wish you all the best for feburary.
