Embassies/Consulates IR1/CR1 Interview August 2020

[TaKane 53]

Hi everyone, it seems there are lots of us fellow IV interviewees experiencing issues at the Embassies/Consulates interviews. Specifically it seems it is related to the recent court injunctions on the Public Charge at DHS and DOS. USCIS has already clarified that they would revert back to the previous public charge guidance. However, DOS has not provided any guidance or clarification to the Consular Officers/embassies/consulates about how to deal with that. 

 

From other forums/posts, many of us seem to experience the impact on that indecision first hand. 

 

Please do share your experience and status in regard to your interviews if you had, have or will have an interview in August 2020 or recently.

Hi all! We are scheduled for our interview finally on Aug 28 and as we are running down the checklist, we see the following needed:

- Confirmation page from the Form DS-260 Application for an Immigrant Visa you submitted online at ceac.state.gov/iv.

 

I've logged in to CEAC website and cannot see anywhere a confirmation page.. maybe I'm missing something but can anyone advise on this..?

 

Thanks in advance!

Once you log in, under the Applicant Information, click on the "Completed" link which is under the IV Application column.

 

Then new page opens, on the top menu bar, click on "Sign", then you should see a bunch of buttons and one of them is "Print Confirmation".

 

Hope it helps.

My interview got cancelled in April, waiting when it will be rescheduled. Cr-1&IR-1 as I130 petition. Any idea?

My wife had her interview today. She wasn't asked anything about Public Charge. I filled out that stupid DS-5540 just in case.

We did have a co-sponsor however.

Yes.

 

I had a frigging mountain of paper and we quizzed her lol. They didn’t want hardly any of the papers they asked like 4 questions.

 

We do have a baby together so... lol I guess that rules out Fraud.
