I called NVC yesterday around 4:30 central time and the girl said they are still waiting on Mumbai to provide interview availability so they can schedule my interview. I know they were scheduling last week as I had a couple of VJ members PM me about getting theirs. So either the girl that answered doesn't know what she's talking about or she said that not knowing Mumbai is scheduling or June slots are full and we are now waiting for July interviews now.

Do we have to wait for the Green card to get the driver license?

Do we have to wait for the Green card to get the driver license?

It really depends on your state. You should look up the rules for your state at your DMV site (Department of Motor Vehicles) to see what paperwork is necessary.

Some states have new rules (especially anti-immigrant states) that are very picky.

Best of luck.

hey guys i wanted to know what is the case creation date on ceac?

[Amadia 711]

When she was asking me the last question, she pulled a file from under her desk and just pulled out my approval paper. She didn't have to print it or anything. It was just there and ready for me. I also realized That the paper isn't generic because it has your case number and alien ID number on it.

I believe this to be somewhat true.....I say that bcuz Trini_Manage's wife had her interview on Apr 20 at TnT embassy and he said that after she gave her docs and was waiting for her name to be called, when they finally called her up the 2nd time to do her bio-metrics, the officer told her "Ma'am, you and your baby have already been approved but we just have to complete the formalities."

Even when Candy Joseph's hubby did his interview, he had no issues. I have not seen ANYONE from Trinidad embassy being put on AP.....so I pray that trend of "You're approved!" continues with me!!

[Amadia 711]

Hey I noticed your kids aren't getting the meningococcal. They didn't need it because of their age? I really wish I was given more information when I called other than to be backed in a corner the way I was so disappointed.

No, my kids do not require the meningococcal vaccine bcuz they are 6 and 8....this is required for 11 and older. I mentioned this is my previous post to you

I got the info bcuz I'm a badger when it comes to these type of things that involve spending my hard-earned money lol!

[Amadia 711]

Yes... I think it only last 6 months

.

I think you should get a new one just in case

I don't know if the police certs you are referring to is specific to Ghana only....but the police certs in TnT are valid for various period depending on what it is being used for. For example, it's valid for 3mth if you are using it for employment and it is used for the stipulated period for other things. So it maintains the 1yr validity for the visa process.

Wow. My question though is what do they actually use to do the pre-approval? Is it from when the I-130 is done or when the DS260 is sent in? Are you sure it isn't that everyone is already pre-approved unless they find something really bad that they would turn the decision over? The only reason I ask is because my wife and I didn't send in pictures and convo history at DS260 stage. We asked our lawyer if he needed it at that stage he didn't take them. Said I should bring it to the interview. This is my only intimidating factor.

My husband didn't send in anything at the ds260 stage either other than the necessary documents. Everything else we took to the interview. I was told by someone who is from Guyana and did her husband's papers that someone from the embassy actually went to their neighbors and asked if they knew the couple. These people do their investigations properly and already know whether you're lying about something so at the interview, if the questions being asked are along a certain line then you know something is wrong.

Since I've been following these interview threads, the questions asked by COs, except a few cases are basic simple easy to answer questions. So if you see them going deeper and asking questions about sex and positions in bed and weird stuff like that, know that they found something suspicious in their investigations and while you may be pre approved, what you say at that interview determines where your case goes. All they asked for was group pictures in our wedding album and they asked who were a few persons in the pictures, basic how did you meet etc and that was basically my interview. In addition to that, when it comes to the AOS, they really don't care much how you file, just as long as your taxes shows you can support the person you're sponsoring and that you actually do your taxes and you're not in trouble with the IRS. At least that is what is required at Guyana's embassy, don't know about others but I figure procedures are not much different other than in high fraud countries. My husband actually wrote to the embassy in Guyana when he had questions and they responded.

The way I see it, not sending in those thing at that stage matters little. Just take them to your interview and you should be fine. All they need at the ds260 stage is what they ask for so no need to send anything else unless requested. You also don't want to make it seem like you're trying to over prove anything. That is something we were warned about constantly while getting our proof documents together. Just do what is asked of you and no more unless required.

FROM THE HUSBAND:

I want to also add that, we kept in touch with a few couples who had their interviews in Guyana ahead of us AND others my wife met at her job where she assisted people working on their final preparations for their interview and I don't recall her ever telling me that ANY of these couples failed at their interview. In just about all the cases, the responses were the same: "they asked us a few questions (5 minutes) and that was it."

Of course, we are only giving our experience with the consulate in Guyana. They have a FB page, seems to very be transparent and make the effort to reach out to the local community. I am not sure how they are in other countries. As my wife said, it just seems to all you have to do is have a legit marriage-relationship, give them what they ask for and take it from there.
