Goodness!! How can this be possible?? 😳

 

Glad you guys aren't waiting around to find out -- POE asap!

 

Here's to a happy new life! 🙏🏼😊

Thank you so much! I actually just received an email back from the Embassy saying that if my wife couldn't travel before the expiration date, then she would need to get a new medical exam done and come to the Embassy with the yellow folder and passport to get an extension. After all we made the right choice, because it was uncertain if we could lose the visa or not by not entering the U.S before the visa expired.

I wonder if anyone else has mentioned this happening on the forum. My husbands interview is tomorrow, so he'd have to quickly wrap up work and other things. x.x

Just make sure you check the expiration date as soon as you receive the passport. I believe it was just a mistake at my Embassy.

POE will be tomorrow! After receiving just 8 days between issued and expiration date. We decided to just go ahead and book my wife's flight for tomorrow 8/30. Her visa expires on that same date so I made sure I called the visa service desk and they told me she would have to come to the U.S on or before the 30th. God willing everything will be fine and this journey will be over soon. 

Good Luck With Everything

All,

this might be a dumb question but I noticed a lot of people talking about a POE.

I thought once you have your visa then it wouldn't matter where you would enter the U.S. as it is a standard process or am I mistaken?

Just got interview date confirm by calling , 

CC 26 july

Interview 31st OCT for mumbai, IND consulate.

🎉🎉🎉

Seriously UNREAL! :blink:

 

SO glad that you guys stayed on top of all this! :thumbs:

 

It is easy getting bogged down with all that is going on and miss something like a stamped date etc.!  

 

Safe travels and welcome home! :wub:

It took you over a month to get an interview date? Wow..seems like a long time.  Most I have seen online get them in only a few days.  Congrats on the interview
