Hi all. My dates are below ... I sent my US Passport to the Embassy on 1/18/2011. It was delivered on 1/20/2011 (USPS Priority with Tracking). Still have not received my passport + OCI back. I have tried emailing the Embassy, as well as calling the one number I have, which was on the email they...

Hi everyone: I'm writing with a question about extending a B1/B2 visa stay for a relative, who wants to extend her stay beyond Oct. 31 (her current I-94 expiry date) to the end of November. If she applies for an extension at the Vermont Center now (I-539), it's rather unlikely that she will...

Hey y'all: I got my plastic card in the mail on Saturday, about three weeks after entering the country. So, now I actually have the cream/off-white "green" card. FYI, when I filled the DS230 Part I out back in April, I had very clearly indicated an alternative address for the plastic...

Hey folks: According to the NVC's AVM my case was sent to the consulate on May 24, 2005. I sent the consulate (well, Embassy in my case) an email this week asking them if they'd received it, and when I might receive an interview date. Just got a reply back, dated June 3: "This is in...

So ... the dulcet tones of the AVM proclaimed that the NVC created my case on Feb. 14, 2005, and that the fee receipt will be headed out "in a few weeks." (For weeks I'd been punching in the receipt number on my I-824, and then I tried the number from the original petition, the I-360 ... and...

Hey folks: Had a question about immunizations: I've checked with my family in India: they can find no record of any immunizations that I had as a child. I know that when I started school in the US I had the MMR shot done, and I'll try and dig up a copy of that. For the rest from the list...

Hey folks: My I-824 (EB4-Relg Worker) was approved by TSC last week. I got an electronic notification, and I just got this email from my lawyer: "I wanted to let you know that we got the approval notice for the I-824 and it indicates a cable was sent to New Delhi, but the approved...
