Consulates Already released Visa appointments for August based on August VB released on July 17th in which all EB's are unavailable. For example in Chennai there are no EB interviews at all for the month of August.
Again the August 17 deadline is only for Adjustments status Cases in US.

All of us know right, Consular Interviews for Immigrant Visa are set up by consulates and we dont have any say on when they call us for interview.

We can pick a Date to attend for interview for non immigrant Visa's but not for immigrant visa's.

Hi all,

I know August visa bulletin shows retrogression but in USA they are accepting the I-485 until August 17th but how about out side the USA in the consulates. Do consulates issue immigrant visas until August 17th or is it going to be only till end of July. Thank you very much.

rammy,

As of friday evening (In India) my wife did not get the passport.Also when i checked last night the message said it's not handed over to them yet.
This morning the VFS server is down.

I checked with my cousin (They had FTJ interview in june) he said it took 4 days for them to receive the passport after interview.

Also i read in the site that if we dont get by 7 days we can call the help line.

Looks like consulate did not release the passport yet to VFS.

I will wait untill Monday and call them.Also if she gets by tommorow i will post here.You too update if u have any updates.

Thanks,
RM
 
Your Opinion is needed

Hi Gurus,

Do you think my spouse could apply for H4 visa to come to US or do I need to wait for FTJ. my 485 is still pending. I have a valid H1b petition but no visa stamp. I used advance parole on my last journey.:confused: :confused:

if it is ftj then I think I will be waiting for a very long time.

Mirage,

since you already used your travel document your H status is Over.As per my knowledge you dont have the option to apply for H4.

FTJ depends on priority date.If urs is early then it will not take much time to scedule the interview.
 
thank you rm,

I was hoping to hear a different answer but I guess you are right about the inability to use H4 by spouse once I used ap.

I,ll wait and wait

I hope your wife will get her passport soon. it is encouraging to see people in the final stage of this waiting game.

I don't think so. If he is still working at same company, he is in H1 visa. I was in a similar position. I used to AP to enter the country later i applied for H1 extension which was approved. Please consult with lawyer to make sure.

Good Luck
 
Congratulation to all who got the visa recently.....

Out of frustration, I called TSC again. Not to my surprise I got different answer again :) The rep said since my case was approved just 2 months ago they touched my wife's case last month. She couldn't tell how long it may take.

If they process derivateive case only after primary is approved. what's the point of applying together? Can someone do educated guess how long it may take?

rammy,

My wife received her passport along with a sealed cover (On Satday noon IST)

She said date visa issued is 26th July 2007 and exp date is Jan 26th 2007. (6Months)

Once ur wife gets the passport can u please confirm the date.

HELP filling out Form

Guys:
I need to file I-824 for my wife, who is NOT in the US and has no way of comming here unless the FTJ is approved. My I-140 is apporived and I-485 is pending (FBI name check:mad: ... am preparing to file Writ of Mandamus for that !)
I need some help with the I-824 form.
In Part 2, what is the reason for request ?
It seems that you cant file unless the I-485 is approved... mine is pending.
Do I check B, C or D ?
In Part 3,Section 1, is
Type of Petition the I-485 or I-140 ?
If it is I-485, I dont have an approval date... does that mean I cant file the form ?
Also, what other documents should be send in ?
- Marraige Certificate ?
- Birth Certificate ?
- Cover Letter ?
Thanks !
 
Filing I-824 with I-485 pending

Ok gurus please help.
It seems like I can file the I-824 with a pending I-485, but they will only notifiy the consulte once the I-485 has been actually approved.
How can I request the consulate to issue a Packet 3 to my wife so that she can fill out necessary forms ahead of time whilst my GC is processing ?
Is there any consolidate post with instructions on this form ?
Thanks for your help all !
 
Please help me in urgent

hi!
Every body!!!!!!
I have a question about Join Benefit for Spouse!
Next week, I will go to interview for a Visa in US Consulate in my country under the Category:F1: Unmarried Son and Daughter of US Citizen.
Can I get married immediately after I got the immigration visa?
If I can, Is my spouse eligible for Join Benefit for Spouse ?
I want to get married before entering into US. As I know my brother got green card during 3 months from the first arrival in US, I expect I am the same him.
Please Help me, I want to bring my spouse as soon as possible; she cannot wait for me for along time. I love her deeply!!

Please Help me!

2)If its in employemnt category once should wait for the priority date to be current.

Please consult an attorney for more possible ways of getting your wife here.
