My brother has a US visitor visa. I recently became a US citizen and want to file Immigrant Petition for him. Will he have any issues entering US for short visits (on B2) after I file I-130 petition for him ? Any inputs will be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

I don't know where you are in your Natz timeline. You would know this if you had attended oath ceremony. They specifically tell you at the oath ceremony not to make color copies.

You can only make black & white copies of the certificate. You cannot make color copies.

Usually, it takes between 2-4 days. What's the latest in your case eo23 ?

You may be better off requesting expedited service. Anyone can request expedited service for additional payment of $60. You don't need any proof of travel for expedited service. Considering your oath date and travel plans, it seems risky to go for regular service. For more information, check...

You can mail your passport or go in person once the online status shows a date for 'Documents Received at NY CGI'

Technically, you are supposed to cancel your Indian Passport once you obtain Citizenship of another country. It has nothing to do with your OCI card. Most people do it at the time of OCI stamping. That's all. So don't worry.

Did you request a Name change when you applied or did you request it at the time of interview ? Please post your experience. Thanks.

I received a response from Newark DO within 6 days of USCIS rep sending a service request to DO.

Take a chill pill and relax. Your application is under mormal processing time limits. DO NOT compare with someone who filed around the same time as your's. Whoever told you that they can get you IL in 3 months is lying to you because you may get it anyway since you just filed in Nov. Don't...

Hi TSV, Can you share your experience of picking up OCI at NY CGI in person ? Thanks much.

If you want to try your luck and have money and time to waste, go right ahead. Here's the problem though. You may not be rejected by the service center right away. They may accept and process your application normally and may even schedule you for an interview. Once the IO at the interview...

Each case is treated individually. Their timelines may be independent of each other too. For e.g. your wife may get scheduled for interview before you do. It is absolutely normal. The only way you can assure they move together is if you ask USCIS to treat them as companion cases. Don't know if...

For N400 applicants green card is a must as a proof of identity. So Don't forget your green card.

eo23 - good luck for your infopass appt. Please keep us posted.

it looks good. but there is no need for a cover letter

Hey eo23, Any news on your side ? Did you get the IL yet ?

I received interview notice but the last updated date on USCIS web site hasn't changed. Is it normal ? Does it signify anything ? Has anybody experienced similar situation ? Any inputs will be appreciated.

I agree with rwsh. Six months after FP sounds reasonable to start worrying. I would even check your DO's processing time. If they are processing cases received after your PD and you haven't heard anything,you may want to start bugging them. Untill then, rest in peace. Let USCIS do their...

Just chill !
