Hey guys and gals!

I figured that as we go along, we might wish to keep the rest of us updated on all the steps that we go through as well as the experience.

Next step:

  1. Medical [To be scheduled]
  2. Biometrics [scheduled for May 19th]
  3. Visa Interview @ New Delhi Embassy [scheduled for May 21st]
  4. POE will be EWR/JFK [No steps taken yet.]

I'll post her experience as we go along.

Also, if you can follow this format (or if you have a better format for displaying all the information), that'd be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi there, there's a country portal for each country (India), you can find consulate information and consulate reviews there. And also, of course, there's a regional subforum. :)

I'm the beneficiary.

Don't have a timeline? Don't know how to get started with it? Do it for the statistics sake: VJ video guide

Filing for a USC spouse visa (IR-1/CR-1) and not sure what comes next? Check out the VJ IR-1/CR-1 guide

Want to know what's happening with your case? Here's the USCIS tracking page (get an account and see if the case's been 'touched'!). Don't get your hopes up though, some cases never even appear there despite being successfully processed.

Did you create a profile in ustraveldocs.com/in website? I am getting an error: "Your request cannot be processed at this time.Site administrator has been alerted"

Any idea how to overcome this error?

Is it possible to book VAC appointment and medical appointment without creating profile?

Did you create a profile in ustraveldocs.com/in website? I am getting an error: "Your request cannot be processed at this time.Site administrator has been alerted"

Any idea how to overcome this error?

Is it possible to book VAC appointment and medical appointment without creating profile?

Yes i created a profile and never got the error, maybe they might have site issues over the weekend,

wait till Monday hopefully the error clears up if not then maybe call them

Medical; my wife called Appollo and she made a appointment over the phone

and for fingerprinting i made a profile and yes u will need a profile to schedule fingerprinting.

Dear SVL, Please advice, can I create profile for my wife under my email address or I have to ask her to create profile?

Thanks

I have created a profile for my wife (beneficiary). I cannot make an appointment for the finger printing until the interview is scheduled and we receive the IL.
