It took almost 4 months to get the interview letter.

This is for those that were initially confused like me as to what to do after you get the interview is scheduled latter at Mumbai Embassy letter. (What I did and now the process is clearer.. I think!) 1) Get Medical checkup done. Link to Medical Exam information here (List of approved medical...

My mother is scheduled for interview in Mumbai. They have fixed the medical appointment at Apollo Chennai for next week. I'm the USC son that sponsored her. 1) I'm planning to email to my mom a) 2018 1040 tax filing, b) W2 c) I-864 affidavit of support d) US Citizenship certificate (I read...

I filed for my mother form I-130 which was approved. I got the I-797 approval. My mother is based in Chennai, India. What is the next step? NVC sends info to my mom? Thanks.

I'm in the same boat. Do I apply for I-130 and when approved my parents will be informed to appear for interview? When do I file the I-864 Affidavit of Support? Also is g-325A still required for Biographic Information? Thanks.

I apologize 1aurcitizen for my language . I should have kept my cool. But the tone of your responses was snarky and I felt it was not right either but it didn't warrant the language I used. Again, I apologize for it. Anyway. Cheers! I have benefitted from these forums and have pointed many to...

I'd suggest you don't show your bitterness or contempt or any prejudice in answering queries. My past posting might have had a context at that point of time that you might not know. You are not in CSI or Law and Order series to try and put two and two together and form some kind of intent...

I agree Susie. Its all relative to where we are at in life. My "problem" is trivial to yours and so on. My wife's parents are heart patients and they are unable to travel. I'm not complaining about US immigration as the country was/is built on the premise of immigration which I have stood to...

The CO kept repeating the overstay and then breaking rules by entering after VISA was cancelled on their next trip. That is where I think she based her decision from my perspective. My mom said she told in the end that because she broke the rules and stayed is why she is being denied. Now if...

My parents don't come here to take care of grandchildren. Don't assume things based on what you see elsewhere. My wife is stay at home and my parents come here only to spend time with grandkids. It is not the babysitting service they come here for. Please don't generalize or assume. I've been...

Just because I'm asking for advice doesn't me Just because I'm asking for advice, doesn't mean you can make assumptions and talk. Ask questions. The tone of the answer is what bothered me. I know what the CO's view is. Your answer assuming that my mother was trying to immigrate is what I think...

Well duh.. Thanks for stating the obvious! Appreciate ur wisdom!

Wtf u talking about? Reading comprehension is not your strong suit I guess. I was saying the fact that they didn't look to immigrate any of the 8 previous trips should give some inkling on if they would settle abd abandon their home base! It didn't mean that they tried or that I tried for them...

Or the fact that they didn't want to settle here in the previous 8 trips should be a reason to prove that they have ties to get them back each time! It all depends which way you want to justify I guess. And no one says that a visa is a right. So the privilege thing is kinda moot to be said here

Thanks for the reply. I don't understand how it is a misuse if you stay within the limits of the visa duration. Almost everyone I know have parents coming and going. The one thing that might be a reason that I'm the only child. But how my dad got the visa just a week prior to her (although with...

So my parents applied for their second 10 year visa online. While applying through dropbox, my father's was called for interview with a request for CV. He is 73 years old. The fact that he worked in Saudi and OMan might have triggered that. Anyway he got his 10 year visa. My mom went for her...

Thanks all for your responses. My parents biggest worry is the expectation of staying here about 7-8 months in a given year

My parents have had a tourist visa for over 9 years now that expires in Dec 2017. During their last trip their trip in 2015 (7th trip since visa issued) , their flights leaving the US were postponed by a week due to floods in Southern India and the closure of the airport. I had them re-booked a...

Thanks Al. My wife already did her's in Baltimore on 12/17/10 and she didn't have any snacks either! I asked the people who had the snacks and drink outside the room as to who it is meant for. When they told me it is for the newly naturalized citizens, I told her that my wife mentioned she...
