  1. Looks like you were on Jim Hacking's show. He rightfully advised to be ready for anything. Definitely take approval letter for I-751 if you have it / can print from online portal. Good luck!
  2. Wife: From few weeks to few months. Did you pay the fee? Daughter: you can check here https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/
  3. Note the street address is only first line. It's not the full address. Are there any known abbreviations for that street name?
  4. The more the better. "the E-2 visa investment amount cannot be marginal and must be projected to make an economic impact. The return on your investment can’t simply provide for yourself and family, it must make a meaningful contribution to the American economy. The economic impact usually measures changes in business revenue, business profits, personal wages, and/or jobs." From: https://www.immi-usa.com/e2-visa-investment-amount/ The expectations need to be realistic, hiring just 2 full-time minimum wage employees can cost anywhere from $35000 to $85000 a year depending on state. Factor in other expenses such as rent, bills, stock... If you said the investment was 250-500+ then I'd say you can be more confident of positive outcome.
  5. Yes that's a plausable theory. USCIS often takes the easy route.
  6. He won't be issued vaccine if he had virucella as a kid.
  7. Are you at the beginning of your exploration of this visa route? Either way, E-2 would require substantial documentation and clear understanding of what you're doing. Interviews, like other non-immigrant visas can be very brief. So unless you have a strong application to begin with, you may be denied very quickly when you show up to the consular interview.
  8. Ideally they should be the same. Current legal name should be used on all documents to avoid any discrepancies. Note my use of word "should" and not "must". Some countries though require names to match on foreign and their own passports, for example UK has so called "one name policy": https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/names-aligning-names-on-foreign-documents/names-aligning-names-on-foreign-documents-accessible I'm saying all this because we don't know OP's original nationality. Depending on the laws of their other country they may need to take some action (name change, re-establishing citizenship etc)
  9. It's probably early for OP's case to be approved. Most I-751s take close to 2 years.
  10. 6 days is normal. Did you overstay in the US during any of your prior visits?
  11. @Mannydude22 ideally wife needs to update name in her other passport to match US passport.
  12. This is the valid answer. People with multiple citizenships may need to travel with passports required by countries they're visiting.
  13. You can wait for rejected packet and resend with personal check.
  14. You're overthinking. If you wrote the sentences above yourself, you're going to pass it without issue. As @Crazy Cat mentioned, you will get a simple question from civics test to write.
  15. And @Chalandrae would need 5 years of transcripts when applying under 5 year rule.
  16. This is pretty normal. Male from Pakistan, Applied Chemistry... None of those help in the eyes of US authorities. Not that he's done anything wrong, he's just perceived a higher risk.
  17. I'm sure in DS-260 you'd have to list employers, right? It's rare, but what if US immigration calls your employer to check you actually work there?
  18. It could have been US embassy staff in the UK calling from their landline. All speculation, of course.
  19. Yes it could have been a legit call from one of the US immigration agencies. You should have either let it go to voicemail or not hang up and speak to the person on the phone. Wouldn't your boss understand this is important matter? What to do? Have you tried calling the number? If nobody answers, wait for written communication.
  20. It's probably similar to my comment: I could have reacted similarly to that message. I didn't quite follow this either: But I guess it's OK, we don't have to fully understand the reasons other than you're going to be away for over a year. Please consider advice given here and hang in there. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
  21. Not sure how paying loan requires you to be in the UK, as most of payments can be done online. Either way, you won't get the permit any time soon. So maybe sending it to the UK makes sense. I don't have personal experience with this. I can imagine you can reenter the US with valid GC and I-797 for the reentry permit even if it's not approved when you travel back into the US.
  22. How long are you going to be away from the US? For example, if it's only 2-4 months, I wouldn't worry about reentry permit. If it's 6+ months, then yes you may need it.
  23. How long are you going to be gone for? When you say you moved to the US, do you have green card?
