New VisaJourney Immigration Guides

[Captain Ewok 1,891]

I would like to get our community feedback and ask for help in generating new Immigration Guides (or updating existing ones). If you have ever thought to yourself, "where is that guide" on a topic we don't cover, please feel free to reply to this thread and list the title/topic you would like to see a guide on. Also, for those members that would like to help out, I would like to work with you to help generate new guides (either ones you are passionate about or from the "new" ideas generated in this thread).

I hope this topic allows us to generate some great ideas and make some helpful additions to the site for the community!

1. Add an optional section for high fraud countries: Section could breakout strategies and tactics for these countries such as front loading, evidence choices, etc.

2. Create an "Consulate Question Database" gleaned from past K1/Cr1 interviews. Create a sort function to return questions by country, visa type, etc.

Thanks !!

1. Accurate information on obtaining an SSN. It is not necessary to wait 2 weeks for a K-1 to receive an SSN, they can get one right away, usuallynext day after arriving

2. Update the address for the Kiev consulate

3. Improve information regarding children (K-2s, CR-2s) I will be glad to help with this if I can.

I'd really appreciate the help on #3! Regarding #1, has the data entry time been reduced such that folks can go faster than 2 weeks and be assured their info is in the system? In the past we recommended two weeks to ensure that the SAVE-ASVI system had been updated.

I'll update that address right now.

I have written two lengthy articles on importation of plants into the US via phytosanitary certificates and moral turpitude both were posted in the Canada forum. These kinds of questions appear over and over again so VJ'ers might find them useful.

Can you provide a link? I can make these into guides as possible. I am also thinking of checking the wiki as that may be a source of basic guide material. The wiki is amazing for advanced data but many members go right to the guides, so taking items from there and making them into guides could be useful.

It's been a while but I'll look in the morning as it is getting quite late. Hope that you understand,

This is very small, but it'd be great for the ROC guide to be edited to say that USCIS may or may not send a letter reminding you to file (rather than *will* not). It seems every month or so, there's a new thread from someone concerned that they received a letter when they weren't expecting it.

YES!!! I suggested that twice when the subject came up but there was no reply to my question if we could possibly make this mandatory in order to have a profile!

Playing devils advocate was..... would anyone have a real reason of why they would NOT want to post their timeline and what might be negative ramifications if any?

TIMELINES for all!!!

Some long-time members who run into marital problems establish a profile under another name so that they can ask questions anonymously and receive information. If possible, an allowance should be made for people like this.

The other issue is people who create FAKE timelines in order to set up an account which will throw data off. Plus what if someone just wants to ask questions and isn't at the filing stage yet? Or who are coming to ask qns for a friend (one just yesterday). They have no timeline to complete.

I do agree with the idea though... but it seem to hard to control given the variables.

Updating the example PDF forms (e.g. the G-325A etc) would be nice. A lot of them are either out of date (they don't match current issued forms) or were filled in very oddly. I ran into some minor confusion when using them as a point of reference.

Agree with this. Also with updating the revision dates. For AOS for example the forms are dated 2010 as the latest date and they've DEFINITELY been updated since then.

So have at least one or two on the Packet 3 set of forms (Buenos Aires Consulate sends it electronically). I saw some fields missing and some new ones added hence the concern, if someone is not attentive enough this could cause a minor inconvenience.
