IR5 entry from India for parents

[vbhandar]

We flew to US on 19th and no problem at all entering in USA..we traveled through emirates and at Dubai they were checking restrictions and all because everyone Is not clear and aware but mention about proclamation and be confident . In USA they took us in their office for stamping because of first time entry after immigration visa. That's it so nothing to worry

Thank you!

Anyone parents flew to US with IR5 Stamping? Are they allowed?

Anyone with an immigrant visa is allowed to enter

Does immigration officer asked for un used visa packet issued during first time visa?

Does immigration officer asked for un used visa packet issued during first time visa?

They didn’t ask, but better to carry the documents which you took in your first appointment.

• Our DS-260 mentions my son’s former address .Since we are going to the U.S. for immigration, when and where can we give his current address in order for the Green card to arrive at the current residence?
• Also, we have received both doses of covaxin. i understand that we need an RTPCR test before boarding a flight to America. My question is whether we need another negative RTPCR test to travel back to India?

I think they removed the communication question they only ask if your visa expired because of travel restrictions.

 

[kgandhi28]

Checking appointment daily 3-4 times a day. If anyone gets appointment for expired IR5 category recently, please let me know. Thanks
