We got our green cards and have til Aug 18 to validate.
I'm the primary holder and will be flying from Australia to Canada in early August. I stop in LAX for couple hours, then fly to Denver for 4 hours, then finally arrive in Toronto. It's for a 2 week holiday only. We plan to move to the...
Hi,
I assume derivatives can enter US later after principle/primary applicant as already entered? We may enter separated a few days apart.
In this case, who carries all the documents? Obviusly we each carry our own passports, but what about marriage, birth certificates, medical records...
Our police records were sent directly to Sydney consulate. When you think the records have arrived at consulate, you can email the consulate and ask if they have received it (we did this). It is better this way (I think) - because you don't have to worry about losing them.
Oops!, your right. I thought it was 98, not 98*. Your number is very close to ours. We had our interview in April this year. Hence, your interview will likely be in April 2013. In this case, you can wait on police records, etc... until next year.
Michelle,
I had interview in Sydney. First, your number is very low - you will be in the first lot of interviews, later this year (September, maybe).
You put whole rank number on form. No problems if you haven't been to USA before. You cannot use PO Box as address (leave it blank for...
This is not necessarily true. Only a certain % of the DV's (I think 3%) can be issued to any particular region. The applications are not pooled all into one bucket and randomly chosen - doing this could result in one or more regions not having any selectees. The way the selection is done is...
Hi Josh,
You may have to go to the school where you graduated from year 10 and ask them if they have it on record. I think you will be ok for the interview. What might happen is that the case officer may just get a little annoyed for a moment because your case won't be a straight forward fill...
Are you living in USA? If you are then aint you an illegal? You should leave and go thruogh dv process outside usa - but you're running out of time.
Out of status is same as no visa. You can be out of status & still legally in usa if you have a pending status application, or, if you leave...
Josh,
This means your DV visa entry period cannot go beyond August - 3 months at most instead of usual 6 months. I know because we got our police records in August as well and recently had interview and they would only give us visa valid until August because of the police records.
We did our Canadan police record checks electronically through a private company. This is the best way, although expensive, as it takes only 3 days to complete the check. You must have name & fingerprint check for DV visa interview. Name check only is not good enough.
I am wondering how people who have completed their interviews and got their DV are going finding a job in the US remotely from overseas? The job market is not great in US at the moment and harder if you apply for overseas.
We plan on going to US to activate our greencards then come back straight away for up to 6 months while we sort out all our personal things. That's the easiest thing to do and many people do it. I already have a SSN, US bank accounts and US drivers license so it should be a non-issue at the POE.
I read the stories on this website a while ago - can't remember the details but it was more than one case. How did you get into Uni, through a bridging course or something similar? You should take all educational certificates you have obtain, including any courses you did to get into Uni. Sorry...
If they assured you by email I would print that reassurrance email and take it to the interview. I have read of people getting denied even with Uni degrees because they did not have high school certificate. However, it probably depends on the country. The Sydney consulate may be more lenient...
I have heard of people doing this (especially Canadians). It means enter the US before the entry period (usually 6 months) expires so you can get your 'real' permanent residency visa (a multi-entry visa) then simply fly back to where you came from. Then the requirement to maintain your US...
