    Off-topic: How do I stop email alerts???

    Sorry for posting this here, but I wasn't sure where to put it. How do I get rid of email alerts for threads???? I've turned them off in Settings but I keep getting bombarded with them. Seriously, my inbox is exploding. I've followed the links at the bottom of the emails to 'change alert...

    Oh that's not an issue at all! Just in case officials at port of entry question it, try to take evidence it's the same place. I don't think you really even need to do that, but being proactive never hurts. Congratulations on receiving all your documents!!

    Welcome dawgeb! I agree, March, April and maybe May. Most likely April.

    They'll deny him for sure. You cannot request a visa for someone not included in the initial entry (unless it's a newborn or a new marriage after the entry was made). Even if he goes to the embassy without her and just with his kids (i.e. intentionally commits fraud by pretending she's not his...

    Have you contacted the embassy directly for either of these issues? You could email them or call to ask if they have mailed your family's documents. On my visa, my place of birth is noted as ETH. They don't specify city. Why does your place of birth in the initial entry and that in your...

    August visa bulletin the final.

    Oh, I see. But I find that a bit suspicious - why would they exhaust visas when there's still a whole month of scheduling left? They wouldn't have made EU's numbers jump this much on this bulletin if that was a concern, and would have instead spread the remaining visas out over 2 months. If it...

    August visa bulletin the final.

    Did you send your forms later than he did? Did you update information with KCC recently? That can delay your appointment date. I sent my documents within a couple of days after getting 1NL. However, I sent updated information to KCC just a couple of weeks before I became current and I'm sure...

    Today is just June 13. Be patient :). I was interviewed on Thursday, my visa was issued (printed) on Monday morning, then I got the emails on Tuesday (at 1pm from the embassy, and at 5pm from DHL) and I picked the docs up from DHL on Wednesday. The CO told me to expect Thursday but I got it a...

    You're welcome :). When do you guys plan to move? I think Ormania said by end of June. Myself, I haven't decided yet. I'll at least be here until mid-July, but I don't know beyond that. The absolute latest would be end of September.

    You'll get an email from the Embassy that they have mailed it, and they will give you a tracking number that you can use to check the status on DHL's website. But it's not that useful since DHL will email you within a few hours (2-4hrs) of the embassy to tell you it's with them and to pick it...

    August visa bulletin the final.

    If you can focus on other things right now, then that's what you should do. Stressing out and worrying has zero impact on the outcome so it's pointless to focus on that. Watch the World Cup, hang out with friends, family, etc.

    August visa bulletin the final.

    Lol you'd think so, right? But it's hard to break the habit of checking this forum 5348473948 times a day. On top of that, I can't completely relax knowing so many people on this forum are so stressed :(. It's a weird version of survivor's guilt I think.

    If he just told SudMD that his 97xxx has a chance, then by definition your 92xxx does too. Common sense folks.

    That's great news! Maybe this will signal a big jump for September. Around which date are you scheduled? How close to the end of July?

    September VB - DV14 Last Chapter

    Ethiopia's was not temporarily put in place for one month. It was there from the beginning and was only removed starting from the May numbers (or was it April? Forgot). Malcolm X, I really hope your predictions are wrong. That would be an absolutely horrible bulletin for AF in particular. Way...

    Question about vaccination

    They didn't even ask for my vaccination records when I went for my medicals. I was back the next day to drop off documents and asked if they wanted to see them since I assumed it was an oversight. They said it was not that important and don't usually ask. o_O So I never showed them my records...

    Congratulations!! It's an awesome feeling, isn't it? Make sure to read every letter on your visa to verify everything is correct. Name, DoB, CN, etc. Any discrepancy can cause issues in the future. Did you pick up your baby's as well or is it just for the rest of the family?

    Facts to be known

    Qualifications from outside the US are usually looked down - the only ones that are given reasonable acceptance are from Canada, the UK and Australia, and even then it's not guaranteed. Beyond that, it's an uphill battle usually. This is why you find immigrants with PhDs and MBAs driving cabs...
