Thank you mom for reply. When I tried from US travel docs website, it allowed me to book for a fingerprint for DV visa. It gave me an appointment for me and my derivatives. There was category for DV visa holders to do 10 print at Chennai India VAC.
Okay. I wasn’t aware DV selectees we’re supposed to prebook bio appointments for CP interviews.
There’s no way for your friend to bring his family over to the US. By claiming to be single, he not only fraudulently obtained an immigration benefit, he also engaged in misrepresentation by withholding pertinent information. He swore an oath to tell the truth when he attended his interview, but obviously lied under oath when he continued the interview as single when he was indeed married. He will loose his GC when this lie is discovered.
Thank you so much for your reply, Mom. Another thing I was curious about, obviously that he lied, and it was due to the consultant who filed the form. If his wife clearly explains the lie and the reason during the interview, will there be any excuse? Just my curiosity.
No, the lie cannot be blamed on the consultant. He made the initial lie when he filled and submitted his initial entry as single. His family being away from him is not an acceptable excuse for claiming to be single. Then he perpetuated the lie when he submitted his DS260 based on what the consultant told him. The truth is if he had listed his family on his DS260 form, his visa most likely would not have been approved, I’m sure your friend was aware of that which is why he was willing to do what the consultant told him told do.
Not sure what interpretation you’re hoping we’ll be able to provide you with outside of what it says. The email seems clear enough to me, your case is still under AP.
Yes, you’ll be put on AP.
Thank you. Will they hold this against me and drag their heels with finalizing the case?
There's no such thing as holding anything against you and dragging their heels with finalizing the case. They will not automatically drop everything else to finalize your case (after receiving the missing document). They will get back to your case when their workload/schedule allows.
Okay, thanks.
According to the instructions on the DV page, she does not need it as this is not her country of nationality.Why you think she doesn't need a PCC? They are required for any country where you and/or any of your derivatives (aged 16 or older) has resided for more than 6 months. You can find the information on how to obtain the Bahraini PCC here :
Bahrain
travel.state.gov
If the CO is suspicious about the duration (I highly doubt this will be the case) you can use the stamp, and any other documents you may have.
| From ... | AND... | THEN the applicant needs a police certificate from... |
| the country of nationality if they resided there for more than 6 months | is 16 years old or older | the police authorities of that locality. |
| the country of current residence (if different from nationality) if they resided there for more than 6 months | was 16 years or older at that time | the police authorities of that locality. |
| any previous country or countries of residence if residing there for more than 12 months | was 16 years or older at that time | the police authorities of that locality. |
| any country where arrested for any reason, regardless of how long they lived there | was any age at that time | the police authorities from place of arrest. |
Can someone put my mind at ease? All I need to know is if passport entry and exit stamps are enough to prove the time of residence in a particular country.
