I scheduled for an appointment for interview in Mumbai. You need to have an appointment scheduled to get medical check scheduled. Once medical was done, they handed the results in a sealed envelope to her a day later. She went to interview with medical, DS260 confirmation (which we couldn't...

Susie mom has a IR visa stamp that would be the temp I551 on entry to US. But looks like you and newacct covered it well. Thanks.

Yes. This is what I was thinking also. That she is technically not a permanent resident until she enters through the port of entry and as a result a dad who holds B2 can't board for the US with her. As for father becoming an immigrant etc. he said clearly he doesn't want to be here for more than...

My mom got a IR visa stamp on her passport last month. Father is on a B2. Can he enter US along with mother ? Since she is permanent resident after entering US, can my father accompany her from India ?

If it is necessary to get it earlier and not a huge deal in terms of travel to Mumbai/Delhi, then go ahead and schedule it. Worst case they'll cancel ahead/deny entry at Consulate.

Yes it's generic. They are not going to send each and everyone a customized letter. You don't need a letter for medical. You need to schedule an appointment, use that for the medical appointment. Get medical, get PCC, DS260 confirmation page and show up for the interview. Please post your...

We understand that the applicant was unable to use an immigrant visa before the expiry date and wishes to know if the visa validity can be extended. Due to the recission of Presidential Proclamation 10014 we are restarting the processing of all immigrant visa applications, including those in...

No. It's generic. But it has verbiage that says you can schedule an appointment. This was in April and don't know if things have changed. Also like I said above, find your congressional Rep and email them also. They'll get in touch with the embassy on ur behalf. Will post response I got from...

Someone posted in another thread that as long as it is valid they should try to enter the US with it. At POE, there's a good chance they are let in without any issues. If CBP officer denies do not sign anything to give up the Permanent Residency and they will be given a day to appear before an...

Did you send an email to mumbai consulate ? Did they send a generic response back ? Which should be enough to schedule an interview OR you could do what I did (Apr'21) in contacting your local Congressman's office and ask them for help in getting information on scheduling for an interview for...

Thanks Susie.

Thanks for the info. She just got the standard paper after you get approved in which this info was also present

I too paid last year. Does that mean that we don't have to pay again?

In my mom's case she had interview in Dec19, 221(g), then got visa stamped and sent Mar 10 last year. With covid shutdowns, her visa expired end of May last year . And I had booked her appointment this year in April and May which got cancelled due to Covid numbers. Finally got it now. She had to...

That's great to hear. The $225 fee for visa packet is to be paid online before travel to US or at Port of entry? My mom told me she as given a slip which mentioned that.
