Updates:what happened after July 2nd

rammy,

I see few updates from below thread.

http://boards.immigration.com/showthread.php?t=256013


Few people have received the emails from mumbai consulate to attend the interview.(Whis is a good sign)

Based on the conversation i understand that all the sceduled interviews will be done as usual but the visa will be issued once PD is current.We should go back to consulate agin to get the visa stamped once PD becomes current.

RM,

I read that thread too. My wife will the PCC from passport office today(Friday). And She will submit the Docs on Monday.
At this point of time till there is an official Letter or Update on Appointments,
I am not going to assume things. She will do as planned ie Submit the documents and will go from there. The whole process of what ifs is draining me completely:)).
What my Gut feeling is this visa Bulletin issue will get resolved somehow. Again I dont know how,but I am wishing it will.

Good Luck and lets keep posted any information as and when we know it..

Hi, every one,

My wife's follow to join case is pending in Guangzhou consulate. She got interview almost one year ago, then those guys asked her to sumbit more evidence about our marriage. After that, they finished routine name check at the end of 2006. Now her case have been subjected to additional administrative processing for over 6 months. I am very confused with that and sent many emails to ask them to finish that as soon as possible. But feedback is always to let us wait and wait. Do you guys have any idea about that step? What do we should do now? Thanks a lot.

new info...

bisdakdreamer's brother had an interview in London(july 7), they also have FTJ. consul told them that they will rcvd their visa within 2 weeks...

if i will conclude: those who has interview appointments has an alloted visa for them, they are not affected by the retrogression...

please wait for our interview updates on monday and tuesday(bisdak and me).

I donno how many noticed this.
But Mathew OH(www.immigration-law.com) has this Note on his website.

07/06/2007: SPECIAL ALERT: U.S. Visa Posts Will Continue to Issue Immigrant Visas in July for July Interview Scheduled EB Applicants?

* AILA has reported a very interesting or confusing DOS LegalNet Office letter which one of the members received towards the fact that the consular posts had already been allocated their numbers for the month of July prior to EB visa numbers becoming unavailable on July 2 and that the posts may continue to use their July allocations of EB numbers, and continue to issue Immigrant Visas for the rest of this month, July, for those applicants who were scheduled for IV interviews in July. Hm.....................................
* It thus appears that those who are scheduled for IV interviews should immediately contact the consulate to inquire of availability of the immigrant visas after the scheduled interview. Readers may also ignore our previous message on the consular processing. It is an extremely confusing time. Please check the visa interview appointment letters from your American consulate. Please stay tuned to this website for further information on the IV consular processing. We ask those who have received the July Interview notice from the visa posts to provide the information to this office via email, ohlaw@immigration-law.com.

Rammy,
Just got information from my friend who read an article saying that interview scheduled for this month will not be effected by retrogression as consulate acroos the globe reserved some numbers for interviews. They are not sure how many numbers and they see that every one will get intervieed done and get GC.

I was in office I could not take the link, I will post it tomarrow.

Hope your case will get through now.


Just wanted to check with you as beginner what is the process once they call my family for interview ( when ever we are lucky).
How it works from there, can you please let me know I better prepared.

If they graNT GC, do they give green card ( or send the green card to address in India) ?
If they grant GC, can they come after some time ( as it llooks to me they will get around Jan - Feb time frame and can not come due exams, entrances etc) means after 5-6 months ?
Your inputs are highly appreciated.
thanks

Its the Usual Process, if your PD is Current, then the consulate will set up and interview and will notify you by interview letter. Once you have the Case number, be sure that you closely monitor the Visa bulletin and also the interview schedule released by your consulate every month. Because some you will end up with no time if they set up the interview early in the month.

Apart from the usual documents which you will already have, you need to get the required documents for each applicant as in the Packet 4 instructions
(http://chennai.usconsulate.gov/uplo...5t5S5pI4CQ/Information_for_IV_applicants.pdf).
The thing which takes more time is getting Police clearance letters.

My advice, all these questions are very redundant, this thread if you spend some time has tons of information, regarding all aspects of IV interviews and documents and in particular, all the hassles people went through, questions asked in the interviews etc,etc..
So I advice you to spend some time reading it which will be very educational.

Good Luck..
Rammy..
 
Thanks!!!!

Tks Rammy,
Judex and I have been surfing the net for days for this info. With no info at that time, we had looked forward to good news from my brother who was scheduled for July 6 in London consulate. The minute he stepped out of the consulate he called me and advised me not to worry as they were processed for Immigrant Visa on E-3.

Do pray for Judex and me as we will be having our interviews on July 9 and 10, MNL time. Will post as soon as I have access to internet after the interview:)

Hi, it's a nice to see a dedicated section for follow-to-join. :)

I am currently in a US with a pending I-485. I just got married in the Philippines last month, and now I'm back here in the US still with a pending I-485. My wife was left behind in the Philippines after the marriage.

Now, our company lawyer told me that I could not concurrently file my wife's GC papers UNLESS she is HERE in the US, and what will happen is that I have to wait until my GC gets approved, and that's the only time I could only start filing my wife's "Follow-To-Join". Is this true? I was hoping that I could start my wife's GC papers processing without having to wait for my I-485 approval.

By the way, what's the difference between "consular processing" and "follow-to-join" processing?

Thanks in advance for your help. :)
