@jameskar

that's great news man....:):wow::dance: :dance:

and as i told you before , they don't ask too many questions.

and it is strange that at 6.30 ,the small queue was already formed...!!!

now i will go to consulate at 6.15 :P when i will get my visa call letter.

and i also told you to carry pictures with petitioner., see, CO ask you for that...

and you signed documents of military , that you have to submit at near by post office in usa ,once you go there...

and plz tell me when the vfs couriered the "brown envelopes and passport " to you...generally they deliver in 2 days.

and i have a qun for you, how many photographs did you carry ? i have made 2 albums...i think it will be sufficient .

btw....enjoy , :) hope i will get my immigrant visa soon ,coz waiting sucks :(

have a gr8 life in states. :thumbs:

Thanks sachin

I received brown envelopes and passport in just one working day after my interview (on june 7th)

The VO checked for a relevant photo checking for my petitioner, my mother and me which she found...so u can collect any number of photos for interview. VFS will allow only few to courier to consulate and u can carry remaining to ur interview. Have some good quality relevant photos and that should be enough.

Any idea on how many days it will take for green card (Do we have to apply for this after going there) and SSN seperately after reaching USA?

Dude Congrats for ur Successful Interview...

Can u please tell me Do they ask for Interpretator during Pre-Screeening ???

In which language did u gave ur Interview English or ur Native Language??? Were u asked for an Interpretator or they simply start questioning applicants in English..???? As asked by Sachin How many pics with photos did u carried with u ....and according to u how many photos should we carry....??? Do VO look at all photos or simply 2-4 only..????

Is it better to carry Old Pics or Latest Pics r sufficient ????

No don't worry about language and interpretor..they will arrange for u...if any one of ur family member knows english. He can translate to others and finally answer back to visa officer's question.

Its not about the date of the pictures. Take an ID proof of the petitioner which clearly identifies the photo of him/her (old Indian passport will work good) and try to catch up photos depicting applicants, beneficiaries and petitioner as more as u can. It depends on VO. He/she can check only few or all. More probability for checking only 2-3 as she doesn't spare much time on ur case.

ohh....so you get your brown envelopes and passport in just 2 days....excellent.

do not open that brown envelopes , that envelopes you have to give officer at Port Off Entry (means fist airport of usa where u land )

at that time time they with take digital fingerprints ,and give you form for green card .usually they fill the form , you just have to sign them...and you will get your green card , ssn and welcome to America letter in approx 2-4 weeks.

and you have already applied for ssn , in ds-230 part 2..read the back portion carefully.although you don't get ssn after 4 weeks , go to district office and apply for ssn

Hey I have checked that option in DS230 part 2 asking for them to assign SSN. so they will do that.

Do we get all three (SSN, green card, welcome) at a time?

Can we change the address to where green card is mailed (other than the one entered in DS-230) while signing the form of green card at the port of entry..?

The reason why I am thinking to change the address is my petitioner is going abroad in 3-4 weeks after I arrive and he returns after 1 month. So he cannot deliver them to me. Do u have any idea on this?

Thanx for the info Bro.... i am in F1 and only single applicant of my case ...so only i will hav to give the interview...ofcourse i know english very well...but some guy has written in Interview Experience that although u know english well but it is advisable to give Interview in native language so that we fell comfortable and relaxed......

In my case my dad is the petitioner and i do hav his old passport copy and new passport copy also along with old pics of me with my dad as well as new pics...

I just wanted to know is that do we hav to ask for interpretator or they ask themselves to us during pre screening????

I hav around 15-20 pics (Old & New) of me with my petitioner (dad), my whole family during family functions....I think these many will work.

Even after checking the option in DS 230 part 2, there were delays in receiving the SSN..:crying:

At the POE, after the questions, just check with them that whether ur information has been entered in the "SAVE" database..This will ensure the SSN database system will be updated...and also the Visa stamp in the passport has a "A" number which will also be used for identification

After ur POE, u will first receive welcome letter, then green card will be processed and then u receive SSN..

Good Luck and Congrats once again..:thumbs:
