    Approved after the 2nd interview!!!

    Finally it's over. What a relief! Was about to file for a 3rd set of EAD/travel docs. The letter to the congresswoman seemed to trigger the case activity so thank you all (especially Kashmir) for the help.

    Interview call at San Jose? - 02-057

    It's the common agreement that NO medical results needed if you initially filed them to CSC. The list of docs you get is a standard format for all. Some people with not employment based cases file directly to a local office. So those need to bring medical results.

    Renewal of EAD and Travel Doc when case is transferred?

    Not sure what would be the procedure for renewing those docs if the case is transferred to the local office. As far as I understand we cannot file to CSC since the case is not there. Should we go in person to the local office just for the iEAD? When should we file, how many months/days prior...

    Letter to a congressmen regarding the security check delay

    Thank you Kashmir. There is a local congress district that seems to cover most of the Silicon Valley: http://www-eshoo.house.gov/ Does this look like the right place to go? Not sure what you mean. Who is "an Immigration caseworker"? Is this someone who must be present in the...

    Letter to a congressmen regarding the security check delay

    My security check is still pending since last summer although we passed an interview at local San Jose office. No words to express frustration although I know everyone here is in more or less similar position. I am thinking now of writing a letter/complaint to a local congressman since I...

    Security check pending for more than 6 months...

    The lawyer makes inquiries once a month getting the same response each time. Also, she does not recommend contacting congressmen since there are many people (even among her clients) waiting for the same check a lot longer than me. But, I would still like to proceed with a letter to the...

    Medical insurance for visiting parents. Any advise appreciated.

    The problem is that all travel medical insurance plans available in the US are even not asking for medical exams. The fact of not covering pre-existing conditions eliminate this need by definition.

    Medical insurance for visiting parents. Any advise appreciated.

    Just called IMG regarding their Patriot America plan and asked specifically about blood pressure conditions. NOPE. Heart attacks won't be covered. And they doubted there is insurance in the US for that. Only accidental illnesses can be covered. This really means MOST of the parents of...

    Medical insurance for visiting parents. Any advise appreciated.

    Pre-existing conditions can be identified by professionals during treatment. So hospital can disclose this information to an insurance company.

    Medical insurance for visiting parents. Any advise appreciated.

    The "preexisting conditions" is what really scares me: My mother has blood pressure condition, so, if something like heart attack happens then I have no way to cover this but buy her a ticket back to Russia. But this is a really long flight :(

    SFO/San JoseInterview tracker

    Allright, our files were transferred to San Jose (2nd time - read my story above you are interested). I am very glad that it did not take too long after the cases have been mistakenly transferred back to CSC after the interview without any decision actually made by SJ office.
