US Immigration from Indonesia

As most of you know this process is not easy, full of stress and even more uncertainty and it is nice to know that there a whole bunch of people in this place that will answer the same question 50 times and are kind and knowledgeable and patient. My journey is still ongoing but I have nothing but kind words for all the help I have been given here when I had so many questions, ( many of them just looking for assurances and comfort.) You guys are tops! Thanks

That is why I always do driver license + unrestricted ssn card... nobody bugs you until your driver's license expires....

Hi, when you use these two documents for I9 (DL + unrestricted SS Card), which one should we tick on the USCIS Form I-9? - I am not sure if it should be (2) or (3):

1. A citizen of US --> definitely not this one, because I am in the ROC process

2. A non citizen national of the US

3. A lawful permanent resident (Alien Registration Number/USCIS Number)

4. An alien authorized to work

Thanks!

I've not heard it happened before, but apparently enough in the first round got disqualified they are doing a second random selection

hi everyone,

ive been wondering this for a while and i could really use your help and advice

i am a k1 visa beneficiary about to start my life in the USA. i will be having a traditional wedding ceremony when im there and i ofcourse want my family to be there.

my family has never been to the US. i want them to apply for a tourist visa.

my questions are as follows:

1) should i have them put my visa details for their DS160 form? or should i leave it blank?

2) on their interview, should i tell my parents to not mention that they will be visiting me? or is it okay to be completely honest about their intentions

3) is there a chance that they will be deported back when they arrive in the US?

4) has there been cases where parents case for tourist visas been denied because the officers think that they will be living permanently in the US?

appreciate any advice you may have.

thanks,

m

My spouse will have the Embassy interview tomorrow in Jakarta, however, we already know he will most likely get administrative processing because his medical is not finished at the assigned hospital, (awaiting results of a sputum test.) We think results are expected at the end of August at which time the hospital submits the final completed medical to the embassy, (that is how it's done in Indonesia.) Question, will the embassy hold the passport pending the medical results and if all ok then approve the visa and send to the delivery address already given to them? or will they return the passport and request a new interview after the results are delivered?

Thanks
