Yes that is correct, however they did not want to see the X-rays at POE, just in case take along a copy of your DS 260...

Hi ECM I took along copies of all paperwork I submitted for the interview in Sydney (in hand luggage) just in case including a copy of the DS260, but I did not need them. Some others did not have all the documents in the sealed pack and were asked for a few things..

Hi Matt I opened a bank of America account on arrival, even before I receive my Social Security Number.. in fact I opened 3 accounts with my passport green card and they were over the top trying to assist me. Today I went to the bank to show my SSN and couldn't be more helpful.

I entered USA January 18th and received the Green Card in Priority Mail 3 weeks later. I was shocked as on POE the paper received stated that if the Green Card hadn't by 11 months, to make enquiries. In regard to the Social Security Card, although identified that I wished to apply for SSN, it...

Hi I do hope the VB jump this month is significantly higher, so that everyone waiting to become current is hopeful of interview. Feeling for you. I have been in USA now for almost 3 weeks and have finally opened bank accounts, currently wading through the maze of health insurance options and...

Hi I had been known as my maiden name and married name for work purposes for decades… and as the NSW police check only showed my surname, I emailled and asked Sydney and they suggested fingerprint check. I arranged a fingerprint check only because I had asked and that was their response. The NSW...

Hi all, I arrived in USA Sunday 18th January with POE being Los Angeles. The process was very easy, I entered the non citizen line and proceeded to have the usual screening (the same as when I entered as a visitor many times). I immediately showed my visa (in the passport) and the yellow sealed...

Hi I didn't fill in the document checklist, nor was I asked to complete the form. It certainly did help to have them in the correct order, but it wasn't needed/requested in my case.

Good luck CCHessie and SuicideBlonde for tomorrow..

Congratulations, happy and safe journey!!!!

Thankyou for this information, I will definitely look into it.

Thankyou everyone for your advise through this forum. I have my one way ticket booked for 18th January. I will be moving to Westwood area of LA to live with my daughter and family after 7 plus years being parted. What a whirlwind the last few months has been, sold my home and car, shipped...

Essey, I live in Sydney whereas you are interstate, so postage, especially over this Christmas and New Year (with postman's holiday 31st) may take a little longer. I will emailed the day after interview, that they had sent my passport/visa and package that day and I would be expecting the...

Hi CJ, You are correct, I paid the Visa Fees (US $330) at the time of the interview but this is the fee for the distribution/processing of the SSN and Greencard, which is activated if the USCI fee is paid online, after you receive your visa back in your passport and before you depart for USA...

I received my passport and visa with the sealed envelope today, less than 1 week after the interview, including public holiday considerations. I was surprised there was no welcome pack or instructions on how to pay the the USCIS Immigration Visa fee. I guess I will work it out but would have...
