Need a visa for UK and Europe

 Share

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I am planning to go to Europe and UK. For the visa for Europe I will have to go in person for an interview and show my green card. But the one for UK is getting me nervous. They want me to sent by mail my green card to prove my legal residency in the US, but I am supposed to have with me all the time!

Has someone done this before? I have search and I dont find anything like that.

Thanks for your help,

SM&LP

I would get a certified photo-copy of the green-card and send that to the UK embassy or consulate that you are applying for a visa from.

The other countries all fall under the Schengren Visa program.

SEE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schengen_Agreement

You apply for the Schengren Visa at the embassy or consulate of any one of the Shengren countries.

OUR TIME LINE Please do a timeline it helps us all, thanks.

Is now a US Citizen immigration completed Jan 12, 2012.

I found a solution!

I will send my Advance Parole Document (the original one) and a copy of the green card.

The date until i was paroled in that document does not have to do with the time they will give me that visa.

I am so glad I applied for this paper! I will update what happened if i got the visa.

They need to put the visa into your passport... are you sending that to them as well?

Yes, I am sending my passport, but sending the green card is something I am not willing to do.
