this is all I found- and it says no report needed from Mumbai to Delhi.. but nothing saying from Delhi to Mumbai. 
I am traveling from Punjab. Maybe I should just do the covid test to be safe.

Did they ask for COVID report? is it mandatory from delhi to mumbai ?

Just planning ahead. For Mumbai Interview, I have seen people showing their chat history to the interview. We mainly use what’s app. Do you guys take screenshots or export the whole chat? The thing is if I take screenshots, it will take a lot of pages and lot of work. Will chat export suffice?

you don't need whole chat, just few pages will do. Its up to you how much you want to take. 2 of friends got their interview and they didn't bother to ask about the chat.

Hello,

I have a question, my husband’s interview was cancelled in April due to COVID, since then I have not been able to rebook it, since it’s only showing vac appointments which he has already completed. 
despite contacting the consulate it’s still not fixed on the website 

does anyone have any idea or any experience about how to resolve it. 
 

thank you 

Although already answered by other member, i would like to add that take a screenshot of the page and email to support-india@ustraveldocs.com. Had the same issue, called customer care and it was resolved within hours.

IL received PD 31 oct,2001, interview in march.Wrong name of beneficiary printed.thx

GOD BLESS

@indianguy........ur pd is 31oct,2001.......did u got interview letter???????if not call to nvc and ask them.........

No, i haven't received it yet, i emailed NVC ; they replied it with that my case is outside processing time and should wait for my priority date to be current.

three possibilities:

1. vietnam also has lunar new year. Probably their embassies is closed for the new year. i/L won't be issued till they start working in February

2. No movement in March VB

3. Mr Oppenheim at DOS can't determine the vb movement at this point. He needs to analyze the data at the beginning of February to make the decision. So embassies will not issue any I/L at this point without receiving prior notifications from DOS.

lol, really good possibilities, but why thinking so much, simply wait for the VB.

hi guys can someone let me know my brother in law sponsoerd my wife she is in pakistan . can my brother add me in pettion.Thanks

There is only one petition for the prime beneficiary ( in this case your wife). There is no seperate petition for derived apllicant (you). Names of derived beneficiaries are added in AOS documents.

Hi all,

What happens if family got F4 visa, tickets done, 165$ immigrant fees paid, and principal beneficiary dies just before 10 days of travel ?

If the principal beneficiary dies anytime before entering the United States ; the petition gets cancelled. Even if u have Visas in hand; u cannot be benefitted from the petition. I suggest u should call NVC and inquire about the same.

Is everything well bro ???

Any interview letter ?

Not so soon; wait till 25 Jan.

Dear friends my f4 pd may 28 2002 ,, case completed in 2012, so hopefully pd will be current in sep. 2014

my question

1. i am living in saudia arab with my family , and submitted saudi pcc for me and my wife, and also from pakistan pcc more then one year before.

so at the time of interview i have to arrange from pakistan and saudia again and now my sons are also 16 and 17 years so for them also pcc for saudia and pakistan also they not leave more then one month in pakistan since 5 years

2 AOS ALSO AGAIN.

OR WAIT FOR THE INSTRUCTION IN INTERVIEW LETTER

THANKS

hi

1)You dont need to arrange the pcc's again from pakistan. You and your wife will only need to submit pcc of saudi arabia. Your sons pcc would be required from watever place they have lived after attaing the age of 16.

2) No, you wil not need to sumbmit AOS again.

Everything embassy requires will be asked in interview letter.Wait for it.

My prority date is 22 aug 2002

No one can tell you the exact time for your PD to be current. At current pace it would be current at approx. Oct-Nov 2014.

Hi guys,Im new here.I've been a silent reader for the past 2 years now.

We've had our interview on 6th dec 2010(yes f4 category-Islamabad Pakistan).Everyone from our family was cleared but the lady interviewer told us to submit my eldest brother's file(we thought he's was above the age limit so he wont be eligible anymore but they said he is).We submitted his papers and everything went clear until that retrogression happened.

So my eldest brother finally had his interview on 21october 2013(we all were under AP during the whole time).The guy who interviewed him told him that everything was clear.He showed my brother our files and said everything is clear and ready to go and AP is done on you guys(whole family) and we will receive our visas in 9-12 weeks.

Our status kept changing till 12dec2013 but now its not even updating anymore and its still under Administrative process.Our 12 weeks are almost up and we still have no contact from the embassy.We have been waiting since 3 years.What should we do? if we dont receive it in the 12 weeks should we contact the embassy as soon as possible?

anyone please ?

Wait for 12 weeks; then u can e-mail them.

Hey jolly,

My relative are in trouble because NVC does not mention their son name in fees payment list. That means their son is not able to get visa?

Age of son is 24 year.

Approval on 2009 June

Pd 8october 2001

The time your petition was pending is almost 7 years 8 months and if you subtract that age from son's present age he can qualify for visa as it comes under 21 i.e he's not aged out yet. Without any delay write a email to NVC stating that CSPA applies to the case and wait for their response.You can also call them and inquire the same.

I am not able to open this link

Works Fine bro..

is it true??????

See Attached IL . PD is 26SEP01.

The call letter is for indian citizen residing in ITALY.

Why dont Viets hv IL this time, any idea?

Whosoever is getting email of invoice id; it is for online payment.As soon as you guys are done with payment print cover letter nd prepare for AOS docs too.

Interview letter received indian citizen with PD 26 SEP 01; interview has been scheduled on 8 JAN 14.

My question is : Usually within how many days of intereview, (if all papers are correct) does a person gets his visa stamped ?This is basically for us to plan in advance to take leave from our work and come for medical and interview. Is it ok to tell the officer that we have to return back to our work within 15 days ?

It can take a day or a week for your passports to arrive ; it varies. As far as your interview is concerned simply answers the questions that counslar officer asks. Although its irrelevant,you can tell him whatever you want.

Dear All,

I have a question, or if anyone been through the same situation. My PD is 13 Sep 2001, case was completed in 2011 (means I had submited all the documents and ds-230 forms of all family members).

Send a email to NVC asap or call them and inform about the newly born and then follow the instructions by NVC.

Hello everyone, Need some advise. I am from Pakistan. Priority date is June 2007.

My sister filed for me in 2007. Her date of birth is September 1966 and mine is December 1968. Do i need to get Birth Certificates for both of us from NADRA and same would be acceptable?

Help is appreciated.

Birth certificates of both petitioner and applicant is required( sister and you)from issuing authority.

Hello

Interview is on November 25th at Mumbai consulate.

Good luck to all who are waiting for the letter.

finally got IL today. My PD is 15Aug2001. Interview Date: 13Nov2013

Good Luck to u both,,,

9/8/2001

17/8/2001

20/8/2001

got interview letter......up to now 2 weeks sure...

Lets wait one more day...

Keep it coming.....

Can you please enlighten the information you are going after? I was looking at the CSPA Formula given to my sister for her kids and all are over 21 and they did not find them eligible. I petitioned my sister in 2000 and the priority date is February 2002. Two her kids are still single and their DOBs are in 1986 and 1988 and how did you calculate the age 28?

In simple terms subrtact the years your petition was pending with USCIS from actual biological age.The result you get is CSPA age.

You can check he CSPA calculator here. :- http://cspasolution.com

Check the box ''Priority Date Not Current''.

I didnt get you.You petitioned your sister in 2000 and your priority date is feb 2002? Priority date is when you file the petition. I think Feb 2002 is your approval notice date.Do clarify.

Thanks for the prompt reply.

However I still have some confusion.

1. How can we predict that by end of 12 years of my number will come? I am sorry but I don't have any idea how this works.

It usually takes 12 years for the petition to be current.Its just an rough estimate.

2. By getting married my point was can they find out if I don't register my marriage legally? I don't intend to cheat but just out of curiosity.

They cant find out unless someone informs the embassy.Dont get married;wait for your turn to mature.

3. The most worrying question. As I mentioned my other aunts who were petitioned two months before us got there Amos and other documents in 2010 but not us. Can there be some problem with processing?

If you think there is some problem;i suggest you should contact NVC for your case update.

Either call: 603-334-0700 (7:00 am EST to 12:00 pm EST) or e-mail: NVCINQUIRY@state.gov

You should have your case no.; petitioners name and d.o.b and applicants name and d.o.b to contact them.

Thanks.

hello everyone,

1.After 9/11 attack....the uscis offices were closed for 45 days after the attack...............it means no petitions were accepted during these 45 days.....

2. The petitions who were filled before 9/11 attack were give 45 days extra to the child out children under the PATRIOT ACT..which was passed by congress in Oct,2001........

The USCIS were never closed for 45 days.USCIS were accepting petitions all over the time.If they were closed for all these days; we would not have a long list of priority dates as in OCT nd NOV of 2001.The priority date is when the USCIS receives the applications and we have a lot af applicants in that period.

please see this video by lawyer micheal phulwani...........it is also help full for CSPA.........

Phulwani says that the age out kid gets 45 days additional time according to the patriot act. He never says offices were closed for 45 days.

According to patriot act:-

"The legislation defines an "age-out" protection for children who are part of a petition for citizenship in that it allows those whose 21st birthday occurs in September 2001 and whose parents had applied for citizenship before September 11, 2001 to be defined as a child for 90 days after their 21st birthday. Those whose 21st birthday occurs after September 2001 are considered to be a child for 45 days after their 21st birthday."

Even if we have to consider the closing of field offices that would be only one that is located in lower manhattan, leaving that there are 9 others in NY alone and GOD knows how many in US.There are four service centers and none of them is in NY.So, it could not possibly effect receiving of the petitions.

All petitions received nationally are shown in blue.

Visa Bulletin Predictions: November 2013 and Beyond

No one can predict with certainty what future visa bulletins will hold. It is expected that dates will not move forward tremendously in the coming months, given the high demand that the current advancements have generated. It is possible that the F2A category would retrogress more in the coming months. However, the dates for any given category will advance again at some point, so cling tight to your optimism, and hope for the best!

No one can predict VB; thats for sure, i am hoping to see a better movement than before in this new fiscal year.Lets wait and see.

Have not submitted any documents as NVC never required any document. Just wanted to know what documents are generally required so that i could make sure i have all the documents well in time. Alos can u kindly advise what is PCC?

Thanks

Read this : http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3195.html

PCC is police clearance certificate.

Immigrant Visa Case Number: ISLxxxxxxxxxx 01 ISL

Congrats again...Party Hard...

What documents are generally to be submitted at the time of interview for F4B category where Sister sponsors a brother? Same sister also sponsored mother and a sister who are now US citizens

If you already have submitted all originals to NVC; you are only required to submit recent PCC and tax returs and medical. Also take with you new and old photographs of petitioner and applicant, just to prove the relation.

If embassy needs any other specific dcument from you;they would mention it in interview letter.

What are my chances of getting a non-immigrant visa while my petition is pending with June 2007 PD?

I have had 3 previous visits on B1/B2 to USA 2 of which were after approval of my above mentioned petition. Was granted 3 months entry each time but returned to home country back after 3-4 weeks.

M married managing my own business in Africa while wife and 3 kids are in Pakistan.

All of my family (Mother, Brother and Sisters) are in USA and US Citizens.

My previous B1/B2 expired in June 2011 and am planning to visit my mother. Want to know of any negative points which could affect my B1/B2 application.

Comments are welcome and appreciated in advance

Your B1/B2 visa has nothing to do with immigrant visa. Both are simply different categories and they dont effect each other.

I myself applied for B1/B2 visa and have visited thrice. The only way it would affect you is when you overstay your visit. Otherwise their are no possible side effects to your immigrant visa watsoever.

Thanks

GOD BLESS
