https://wwws.whitehouse.gov/petitions/!/petition/remove-restrictions-prevent-spouses-legal-permanent-residents-green-card-holders-be-reunited/x5WscHSj

the reason is it might help f4 too........it might benefit other categories too...bcaz if relative of permanent resident will be given status of immidiate relatives ,f2a is out of visa categories in 226000 visas ....and 88000 of f2a visas will be awarded to other categories....so all other categories may benefit from this ......

Kindly do support the VJ member jhp initiative for signing to voice for good changes in immigration..I personally feel that the amount of sacrifice and hardship faced by the families in sending their family member to US either for studies or working is tough and wherein the life is not guaranteed forever, this separation creates even more vacuum..

All F4 Potential Interview Ready filers, do update your timelines as it will be helpful to review and estimate for how long will be the documentarily completed stage as well as how much will be the timeline from I-130 to Final Interview stages..

1) Petitioner's Original Birth Certificate:

As per NVC's instructions, petitioner's original birth certificate is required for F-4 along with DS-230. We had already submitted petitioner's original birth certificate along with I-130 application. We don't have another original certificate to be sent with DS-230 application. Does it mean we have to obtain another original birth certificate now?

2) Our case is for Mumbai (India) consulate. I was told by NVC person on phone that Police certificate is not required to be sent along with DS-230 but it is only required at the time of Visa interview. However, now NVC says that it needs Police certificate also. Have the requirements changed for Mumbai consulate? Just that this is delaying approval process.

The intent for visa ready preparation is always "Better Be Safe than Sorry"..

1) First u should not have sent the original birth certificate while filing I-130(To USCIS, even a photocopy is sufficient..)as it is difficult to track your documents within USCIS..NVC is better organized, even if u send the original certificates to NVC, u will get it back during the Interview stage..The Only option now is to take a certified copy of the birth certificate and send it while filing DS 230

2)As i said before "Better Be Safe than Sorry"..Do have all the documents in hand, it will make your visa approval easier. You can go through the below link for the details on Police Certificate

Good Luck..

A bill entitled the "Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act" (H.R. 3012) was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives on September 22, 2011. This proposal wil Increase FB Cap Per Country from 7% to 15%

Good Bill..

I would like to ask all people from all countries in F4 category to participate in this thread and post their questions/analysis/ Interviews scheduled/ progress made so far in their quest for receiving their immigrant visas, So that we can help each other and predict future progress in our cases.

Thanks:thumbs:

"Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act" (H.R. 3012)

Conclusion....This is a first step in the right direction. When members of Congress hear from their constituents on a particular piece of legislation, they are more likely to enact a bill into law.
