Hi there, No there was no request for a formal Affidavit of Support. What we did was pull out bank statements for the past 6 months, bonds that we hold plus made copies of property ownership docs etc and then made up a cover letter showing all these figures. They did look at it but returned...
Although the immigration officer at the airport told us we don't need to go to the SSN offices, we thought it best to go apply on our own. We did the process on the Thursday if I am not mistaken and by Monday mine arrived. My husbands' arrived on Tuesday and my daughters' on Thursday.
Just received an email from my cousin that my green card arrived in the post yesterday. So that was just over a month for mine. Still waiting for DH and DD's.
Shukran for the well wishes.
I asked my OB/Gyn for a "fit to fly" certificate which basically says that I have no complications in pregnancy and that I can fly. None of the airlines even asked me for the certificate but I just kept it in my bag in case they would.
Good luck with your interview.
I was in US for about 15 days in total. So travelled in at 26 weeks and out at over 28 weeks. I have hit 29 weeks this week. We applied for our SSN on 26 March and I received mine 2 days later. My husband got his the following day and my daughters' came the next Monday. I travelled to Orlando...
Hi Firas,
I don't have answers to all your questions but will try to answer some of them.
I am also pregnant and went through the entire process....
I was excluded from the X-ray because of being pregnant. It shows on my medical report.
I travelled 3 weeks ago at 26 weeks pregnant. There...

Hi all,
For those who have already entered the US, when you received your green cards and SSN, did you have to be physically present for the collection/delivery? We are planning to go at the end of March to activate our IV and the trip will be about 10 days long. This will not be...
Call and make the appointment for approximately 2 weeks before your interview. They do get pretty booked up and as mentioned, there is only one doctor who only does US visa medicals. I would suggest that you call at least a month in advance to make the appointment. It did take them about a...
Thanks for that. I have registered on the site as well. After your comment on the visa etc, I started looking at options to have bubs 2 in US. Now I'm all confused! My primary concern is getting that unabridged birth certificate as soon as baby is born. I applied for my daughters in December...
Thanks for letting me know about how CBP works but will have to take the chance and fight in front of an immigration judge if need be. Right now I have already made arrangements to have baby in SA in a birthing center. I also have my own personal reasons as to why I'm having the second in SA...
Hi there. The process was pretty simple and straightforward from what I could see.
Answers to your questions:
1. I took 2 extra photos per person. Since we sent 2 pics per application to KCC they were already stapled to the forms. The guy who was collecting our documents did ask for...
Thanks Superkruz. I'm hoping that the fact that I am going back to SA to have baby would be reason enough for them to accept that we will be out of the country for longer than 6 months. Would be impossible for us to tie up everything here plus plan having a baby in another country.
Successful interview
Hi All,
Thought I would now share with you our experience at the AD embassy.
We got to the embassy at around 07:55am and there were 2 ques outside. One for non-immigrant visas and the second for immigrant visas. There were at least 10 families ahead of us and we...
Finally Success!
By chance I went on to the Abu Dhabi website to check the status of our case last night and it states that our visa is ready to issue! I thought the AP would take much longer than that. My guess is that my husband went under AP when we applied for our tourist visa 3 years ago...
Bittersweet moment!
Hi All,
We had our interview this morning. The process was very similar to the processes that others have been posting about so I won't go into detail.
My daughter and myself were successful but my husband has been placed under AP. I had the option to take the visa...
Interview on Sunday
Our interview is on Sunday morning in Abu Dhabi. Finally we have all documents on hand.
Its almost time to find out if we get this green card or not!
Yes it is correct. I received an email (as per the above). Then I logged in to the same site and a new letter popped up. The letter gives you date/time of interview and further instructions to proceed.
I received my letter dated 7 October and my interview has been scheduled for 18 December...
Why are you giving people incorrect information? I received an email on 07 October from noreply@state.gov stating the following:
SURNAME, NAME:
You have received this email notification to inform you that you have updates available at http: //www.dvlottery.state.gov/ESC. Please log in...
No you will receive an email when they have scheduled your interview. How would going to the site be the safest bet? You mean you would go on every day for the next 8 months to check? And the 16 digit number is your confirmation number. Your case number is shorter.
