US Immigration from France

Hello Everyone

Sorry my English is bad but hopefully you guys will understand.
My concerns is now I m married to a USC we met here in Paris few years ago now we want to file our I 130 petition. We got married end of December. The thing is when I was a kid around 7 I was petitioned by my parents in the US via the I 730 form for asylum went to the Us stay for few years but after my Parents got divorced it was really hard for them; so my Grandparents took us back to our home country to take care of us( me and my siblings) since the divorce was so hard on my parents they didn t really have time for us we were under 18. Now that I m 26 married, I still have my SSN, I 94 etc Do you guys think since I was in the Us and left will be a problem on my new mariage case ? And should I provide my SSN in the form if asked ?

Hi folks.

Little question about the SSN that I received as a J1 visa holder back in 2017 if I remember well when I received it the administration stated that the number would be kept for life regardless the fact that my visa was just for one year.

I m gathering papers for my AOS ( I just received my K1) can I provide in the diff rents forms this national security number or it s better to at least try to re-apply when i enter the US?

Thanks guys

Hello,

Could someone help me understand please a couple of things.

I have 2 cases at NVC (wife and son). Both cases have accepted Affidavit of support and applicant information. I have received an email from one saying that they will now work with the US Embassy in Paris to schedule an interview but not the other case. Do you think that this email is for both cases? I am guessing that they are dealing with both cases as one but I want to be sure.

Also, has anyone got any idea of the timeframe for interviews at the Paris Embassy?

Many thanks for your help and best of luck with all your visa processes.

My fianc e and I had our visa interview on Wednesday, January 18, 2023, at the US Embassy in Paris. Our application was rejected under 221(g) because we need to submit two additional police reports. The rejection is not bad, the Embassy said it's more of a formality. We just have to provide the two additional police reports and they will issue the visa to her. However, submitting the two additional police reports is not 100% clear. On the Yatri site (/ais.usvisa-info.com/...), we had to select an option that indicates we are to provide additional documents to the Embassy. Once we selected through a few windows, the final window reads as follows:

You must courier your documents into the U.S. Consular Section. Please gather the requested documents and generate a "Courier-In Authorization Certificate" by clicking the "View Courier-in receipt" button below. Include a copy of these instructions in the list of documents you send to the Consular Section.

When you select the "View Courier in-receipt" button, there are instructions for mailing the additional documents. The instructions include "This certificate authorizes [[Insert Applicant's name here]] to use the designated CSRA courier to deliver supporting visa application documents to the United States Paris Consulate free of charge."

Few questions:
1) Has anyone had to mail additional documents via the courier service before?

2) Do you have to use the courier service? Or can you just mail the documents to the US Embassy without using the courier service?

3) The instructions say "[p]ut the 'Postreponse' information on the address side of the envelope. Mention this information and ONLY this information on the address side of the envelope: Ambassade des Etats-Unis / Service des Visas Autorisation XXX 75 385 Paris Cedex 08" - this question, may be obvious, but what exactly is the Postreponse? Are we supposed to cut out the barcode, applicant name, visa class, CSRA ID, DS-160 Number, and Destination from the courier certificate and tape it on the front of the envelope? I may not be reading this accurately, and I am to only put the French address (above in bold) on the address side of the envelope, as the instructions mention.

Thanks for your help!

Hi everyone,

I was going through the required documents for my child's passport application and something is not clear, I am hoping someone here can help.

My child was born overseas but we currently live in the US. She has a CRBA and got her first passport while overseas. Now it's time to renew her passport and DS 5507 is listed under the required documents for applicants born outside the US but the CRBA already states she's a US citizen...I renewed my first child passport a couple of years ago (same situation) and I don't remember that form. And all my research indicates that the form is used to support CRBA applications. Does anyone know if it is required?

Thanks in advance for your help.
