    big big confusion with kcc over plave of interview

    transfer your case to an embassy closer to your DOMTOM. KCC can initiate the transfer for you, just send them an email. the transfer will take four to eight weeks, better than spending a fortune on plane tickets and hotels in Paris. use the money to spend a good vacation in the Caribbean...

    DV2010 winner - Apply for DV2011

    I think you can apply. If anything, just to see if you'll win twice in a row. If you do win twice in a row the Champagne is on me!! That is even though statistically those two wins are theoretically not correlated at all.

    2010dv-lottery winner and travel

    technically by sending the forms you have filed an immigration petition. f1 is a non immigrant visa. one if the requirements of f1 is that you have NO immigration intent. i would advise against travelling out of the US except for the purpose of the CP itself. I am no lawyer though...

    Photos for Muslim women

    Yaser, Your question was about ID picture. She can wear whatever she wants in her life there, but the ID picture needs to identify her. Covering any part of her face including ears will disqualify her. Again, I don't see the point of covering on an ID picture, this has nothing to do with...

    Photos for Muslim women

    hi yasser, no it is not acceptable. i am muslim too, and i always wonder what problem people have with showing their full face and hair in an identity photograph. ID picture is intended to identify her, so if she wears a scarf that hides parts of her face or hair it is not an identity photo...

    Administrative processing and 30th September

    the deadline for visa issuance is 9/30. consulate can call applicant early october to inform them visa is ready for pick up or stamping on passport, as long as visa itself was issued no later than sept 30th. but consulate cannot issue visa after 9/30. so either AP was completed and visa...

    Made an error in my dvapplication, now embassy wants to cancel the interview?

    The grounds for visa issuance is legal ground only. The embassy can understand why you have entered Eritrea not Sweden but cannot issue a visa without legal ground. So if you can afford it, discuss your options with a US immigration lawyer. A law practice may have information that we...

    Made an error in my dvapplication, now embassy wants to cancel the interview?

    the consulate may argue that eritrea was ethiopia before it became independent, in terms of international law (i.e. between 1962 when Selassie annexed it as a province and 1993 when independence was proclamed). The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) Section 202 [8 U.S.C. 1152] states in...

    Great, let us know how it goes! Huuh, can you explain more for those of us who dont live in the Finance capital of the world? I dont think that would work. The job would need to be full time... Immigration officers at the border look for specific flags, like spending six months in a...
