Thank you for the info. She lives separately and has an internet connection in her name, so it sounds like she will be able to qualify based on her household income.

We're in New Jersey. It looks like there's an option of applying based on your income. To confirm the income you'd need to submit paystubs / tax return. We don't have a tax return yet for my parent.

Hey All! Is Affordable Connectivity Program Benefit a part of public charge rule? My parent is a new low income immigrant. We signed her up for a internet connection and ISP told us about getinternet dot gov program. Thoughts if new immigrant can apply?

I emailed USAKZ@state.gov and they got back to me in 2-3 days.

Yes, she does have a valid Schengen visa. Good news for us though is that Almaty post has accepted our case transfer request. 🎉 It will be much easier and cheaper for my mom to travel there.

Hey Gang! Our IR5 case was assigned to Warsaw, Poland. Trying to understand how hard it is to travel to Poland with Russian passport and what are the most common travel routes. Recent successful travel experiences will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Steve! We submitted a statement! Fingers crossed!

Hi All! We're going through IR-5 case, just submitted DS-260. My mom lived in Ukraine for about 8 months in late 1970s. We added a Ukrainian address in DS-260 and now one of the civil documents required is a Police Certificate from Ukraine. Does anyone know how non citizen, non resident can get a Ukrainian Police Certificate? I found this service: https://vytiah.mvs.gov.ua/app/landing, but it looks like it is designed for citizens/residents. I also downloaded Diia app, but you gotta have a BankID or NFC to register.

Hey Crew! I'm looking for any feedback about Bishkek consulate. We will be potentially considering to transfer our IR5 case to Bishkek (we haven't been assigned a consulate yet). It looks like they are issuing about 5-7 IR5 visas a month (source: [deleted]).
