The Malaysian VJ Thread

[rusberri 1]

Congratulations to all who got their final approvals recently! Must felt tremendous to have a huge weight lifted off your shoulders!

And good luck in all your future endeavors!

By the way, I would really like some confirmation about whether I need to have my Malaysian birth certificate translated. I recently got the new version of the BC - green with a hologram sticker at the bottom. It is in both Malay and English but English is only for the descriptions - not for the information. For example, for "Status of Citizenship", the corresponding info would just be "Warganegara", without the English translation of it. Is this going to be a problem?

I hate to send this to NVC just to have them issue me a checklist for not translating it. That would really set me back a couple of weeks.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I submitted the photocopy and original of the new malaysian birthcert - they took it without any issues, but mine was for K1 visa

Thanks, rusberri!

I also find that your review of the interview was very helpful. I hope more people would do a review of their own experiences as they can help others manage their expectations.

By the way, you mentioned that the Embassy cancelled your tourist visa at the interview. Does the stamp say "Cancelled Without Prejudice" or just "Cancelled"?

Thanks again.

The stamp says "Cancelled Without Prejudice"

Finally picked up my visa yesterday along with the packet of documents!

Was supposed to be picked up on Friday, but when I got to the embassy they told me their system was down and I had to come back on Monday!

It's so frustrating that they didn't contact me beforehand

But it's all done! Finally to fly!

Today I had the interview, the Interviewer was a lady, she asked me the typical questions! she said congratulation your case seems grate! Then another Indian-Malaysian lady gave me a short paper with appointment, she wrote my name in Pen and the time of the appointment! the appointment letter says; you may come to the embassy to collect your passport on 31 Oct 2013.

What doest this mean? what do you guys think? I fear the worst, there's something they call AP, or administrative processing! that could take months or even years! I hope to pick the visa on Thursday instead of un empty passport!!

First of all, congratulations on your approval!

Next, you can calm down, because that piece of paper you received will allow you to collect your passport, which will have the visa affixed to it by the time you collect it on Oct 31. The visa is not produced immediately, it'll take a day or two, and that's why they tell you to come back and collect your passport later. They will also give you a packet to bring to the US with you.

I reckon if there was trouble with your application which required an AP they would have not told you to come back and collect the passport on a specific date.

Hope this helps!

Congrats Dhodan!

Don't worry - blue crab is right - you'll get the visa in your passport and your document package (don't open it!) on Thursday =)

For the recent approval, what is the word written on your annotation? I am curious

I'm sure it is on the way to the Malaysian Embassy by now. When you get packet 3 can you tell me what's in it? I'm not sure if it's still the same because in some embassy, they changed the form to DS-160.
