US Immigration from Australia

Hello! I just wanted to confirm what hair color should I put on my Biometrics appointment form if I have recently dyed my hair? I assume I should put the natural hair color but others have been saying to put the existing hair color. Thank you very much in advance.

Have a lovely day!

I (beneficiary) am currently at the NVC stage and I recently finished submitting my AOS docs pending review.

I intend to go to USA sometime in mid 2023 due to family reasons. Hence I am trying to drag my NVC stage out. I've seen advices online about people paying their IV & AOS fees many months apart so that their case stays open. Does this work? Has anyone done this? If you have dragged your case out, for how long and how did you do it?

Thanks in advance for your sharing!

Hi, any help and I would be ever so grateful !

I was in Egypt 37 years ago. I was never issued a residence Visa only a tourist visa, while my ( now) ex-husband worked there.

Although I was there for 12 months + and on a tourist visa, it was renewed from within the country for 12months before I left the country and then upon entry it was extended for another 3 months, after that, I left and never returned. Those visas were granted without question and everything was above board back in the day (1982/83)

Am I required to obtain a police clearance check for there?

From what I have read on the USCIS website, and through my Egyptian Consulate, you need to provide a Residence Permit Visa in order to do a back ground check, and I never had one, as I was on a tourist. Although I was there for 12 months at one time then another 3 before leaving for good and I never returned.

I would hate for this to be a reason to deny my K1 Visa when I go for my interview eventually.

How am I able to get a police check in this circumstance .

Thoughts anyone?

I will obtain one for Australia which is where I live and where I was born.

Does anyone on here know, do I need to supply fingerprints with my Australian Police check?

I am the USC petitioner for my spouse's CR1 visa. In mid-May, everything except my spouse's police certificate was accepted by the NVC, and within their document processing timeframe. We got the new police certificate, and submitted June 7. Now the NVC processing timeframe is saying that, as of this Monday, they're reviewing documents submitted on June 8, but this police certificate still hasn't been approved. This is literally the last thing to complete our case.

But also, I'm suspecting it hasto do with something strange that happened on our CEAC (red box is redacted name).

Before submitting the replacement police certificate, these strange entries appeared regarding "1st Marriage"--obviously a police certificate, passport bio page, or photographs don't change with a different marriage--so I spoke to an agent at the NVC. She said to add in the comments, "Approved below." I feel like now some other agent has seen this and is thoroughly confused.

Is it worth calling the NVC about this? I want to get this police certificate approved so we can move forward before my work contract ends next month.

Hello!

While waiting for lockdown to end I wanted to make sure I have all my documents. I am the petitioner, and wanted to know if Sydney goes by 100% or 125%?

I meet 100% easily but fall short by $2,000 in 125%. I do have a sponsor but would prefer not to go that route.

Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!!

EDIT: This is for K-1.
