  1. No. They will not qualify for social security benefits nor Medicare. When you petition for parents after you get your citizenship, you need to provide an “Affidavit of Support” which in effect means you agree to pay for all the financial support they need and they will not become a public charge - until they themselves become citizens. So read the fine print of what is on the I-864 Affidavit of support. Also think about the medical coverage (health insurance) they will need!
  2. What kind of visa status he has? Immigrant or visiting or something else? He has to go to the customs and border patrol counters. They will validate his visa. If immigrant visa it might take a bit longer for the process to complete.
  3. The poster’s wife filed for his brother. So it is a petition under F4 category. It doesn’t matter if he gets married or not.
  4. Your screen name Kerala is a State in India. Your country is stated as Grenada! Just curious! Did your mom apply for tourist visa from Grenada or India?
  5. A friend of mine waiting for visa under family based F4 category received interview call yesterday July 13, 2023. However the interview date is printed as February 22, 2023 - which is already past. I guess it is a system error. How do you fix this. Calling NVC or the consulate where the interview is scheduled. Anyone been thru similar situation before?
  6. The name “Dual Citizenship” is a misnomer. Once you obtain your US citizenship, it is up to your home country to dictate whether you can still keep the citizenship from that country. For example Government of India do not allow dual citizenship. Once an Indian citizen obtain the citizenship of another country, they lose Indian citizenship. So check with your home country to see if they allow this. US government doesn’t have a problem unless you are from certain countries like North Korea etc.
  7. "Final Action Date was "C" in March-23 Bulletin for F2A Category and I received my Interview Letter on 3-March-23. So Is Final Action Date is related to Issue Interview Letter or to issue Visa ? " No I don't think so. They never schedule interview until a visa number is actually available. So in you case, a visa number was available and since the CO said your visa was approved. So it is just the usual processing delays. Wait for couple more weeks.
  8. Since you are a US citizen with a US passport, your entry into US will not be a problem at all. Whether you have a job here or not. But if your husband is not a US Citizen, you will need to file I-130 and start the immigration process. I don't think that he will be allowed in with you under the exceptional circumstances rule. And since your spouse has an immigration intent, I doubt if he will be issued a visitor's visa!
  9. Although the visa numbers for immediate relatives of US Citizens (Spouses, parents and minor children of US Citizens) are always current (because there no numerical limitation or cap) the actual process takes about two years for most applicants!
  10. The beneficiary is 22 years and 7 months old. Deduct 2 years, 3 months and 13 days from his current age. That is his CSPA age. So if the PD became current today, the beneficiary would qualify for visa. However there has been a change in CSPA age calculations since last February. This allows the beneficiary gets to calculate his age based on chart B of the visa bulletin and age freezes if the date in Chart B is current! Although the change refers to all candidates, it was reported that this calculation is currently limited to AOS applicants. The visas processed by DOS do not allow this. If anyone has firsthand knowledge on this please chime in!
  11. I have used the form and filled my beneficiary’s (principal immigrant) address in India and the PIN code (that is what zip code is called in India) without any issues. My form was accepted and has been deemed documentarily qualified.
  12. No. LPR was not threatened with revocation. They just told the child to be taken to a county hospital and have tested for TB. The parents did as they were told and complied. Testing was completed and was found negative! Was send back home and they have been living happily in the US for the last 18 months! Child is in school and both parents are working full time. One other sibling started college last year! She is pursuing a degree in Pharmacy!
  13. A F4 derivative child from India who was flagged in the Medical check up and later cleared was issued the immigrant visa along with the parents! They arrived here in New Jersey. Local health department contacted the new immigrants and told them that the child has to go for TB testing and if needed medication! I don’t know how the local health department came to know of this! I am assuming that all immigrants who had tested positive for TB at any point of time are referred to the local health departments in the address they provided!
