    Is it possible to enter U.S. for GC activation and then return to Canada same da. I have few questions: 1. Would it create any problems at the border if it enter the US without GC next time once on I-551 stamp. 2. Do i have to go to Social Security office to apply for SSN it or it can done at border. 3. Can i open US bank account with just GC stamp or i need utility bills under my name on US address. Can I use Canadian address after activation of GC for bank account temporarily or i have to provide US address. Are there any other documents needed for opening bank account?

    @mapi Thanks for the advice. The information i described was based on the group members experiences that appeared for an interview in Montreal consulate personally recently or what i interpreted from I-864 and I-864A instructions by reading them carefully and together. I was looking for same info in my case also. Now my applicants were already appeared for an interview few days ago, I can confirm that CO did not asked for joint-sponsor spouse I-864A or W-2 nor we submitted at NVC stage or applicant carried the hard copies to interview. They are only asked for JS latest tax transcripts. W-2 of JS was already in their system.

    This is with regards to completing DS-5535 form online. If the same information is already provided in DS-260 application, you do not need to repeat the same information in the form as per instructions. Does anyone know what should we write in the mandatory fields(Information already provided in the DS-260 form) as if you leave it empty it won't allow you to go to next step?

    Hi everyone My parents appeared for IR5 interview at MTL together. My mom has been issued a visa but CO returned the passport of my dad with 221(g) with "Additional Processing is required. We will contact you when this complete" CO told him that he will receive an email in the couple of days with further instructions. Note: When my dad applied was B1/B2 visa 5 years back on his country of origin passport, His visa was delayed (for first time) due to AP and was given 1 year visa instead of 5 years B1/B2 visa(2005 and 2011). He has extensive travel history because of nature of work. Does anyone know what to expect in the email and what sort of information they will be looking for?

    I would not add that income in I-864 if it is not used. You will find the answer at the top of page 6 (I-864 form) which is for "USCIS use only". If you add joint sponsor spouse income in I-864, NVC will need all tax documents from joint-sponsor spouse as this income will be used for calculation even though not needed

    True - It varies from case to case and also consulate. It is better to be over-prepared in the interview.

    My joint sponsor filed tax return with spouse (Not working). Once I submitted the I-864 from joint sponsor and tax transcript for latest tax year. NVC asked for W-2 of the joint sponsor not the spouse. Once provided the case was DQ in the next round of review. If the joint income alone is sufficient then W-2/1099 of the joint sponsor is need to make sure the joint sponsor income is sufficient. In that case I-864A is not required from joint sponsor spouse. Providing too many documents may not be good if not asked.

    Approx 66+days after DQ for parents (IR5). approx 45+ days to interview after interview letter (email). No blood work will be done for medical if your parents are over 45 years just X-ray (additional info). Interview may be Jan 2024

    Do i need to take the printout of vaccination worksheet and the information sheet received in the confirmation email to interview?
  13. Leo The Great
    Needed for medical. Not sure about immunity record translation. Another way is you can ask your family doctor to write a lab requisition for immunity tests required by US immigration. If immunities are reactive then you are good and you need to take lab results to panel doctor. otherwise you will need to get vaccination for only those results with no immunity. TDAP/tetanus vaccination is valid for ten years

    LifeLab work is only needed now if you <=45 years old as per new requirements told by Dr.

    I went to Dr. Mascarenhas for medical today. The whole process was very quick except for X-ray. Everyone with early morning appointments had to wait for 30-45 minutes because the X-ray technologist was late today.

    I have medical next week. There are some intermittent road closure in Toronto downtown for the next week. I am not quite familiar with Toronto area. Do you know if the parking is easily available near Dr. Lyndon Mascarenhas clinic? May appointment is 8:30 am
  17. Leo The Great
    yes for MTL based on feedback from other members
  18. Leo The Great
    one dose should be enough provided the second dose is not due when you appear for medical. hep b has 3 doses (2nd dose is due one month after the first dose and third dose 6 months after 2nd dose). U.S immigration wants that you start the vaccination process before you appear for interview and complete it afterword. Please make sure to get yellow immunization card/panel doctor form(if needed) signed by doctor before you appear for medical.

    True It is better to be honest with that reply. NVC verification system will eventually find out from their databases that visa was denied

    I have interview in October. I changed my job after i submitted the DS-260 form. Should i update the employment history in DS-260 and submit it to MTL? Would changing employment history change the Confirmation No of DS-260 form? I have already entered existing DS-260 confirmation number when i registered for immigrant visa appointment.
  21. Leo The Great
    It is better to check the website of the doctor you intend to go. They have all vaccine requirements and form.
  22. Leo The Great
    1. You may start with immunity tests to see what vaccinations are needed.

    I also emailed the digital picture and my appointment is with Dr. Lyndon, Toronto

    @llcoolwil Do we need to take photographs to medical examination Five (5) passport-sized color photographs (taken less than 6-months ago and date-stamped)

    If the case is at Montreal consulate after IL, do we need to take any action on DS-260 form if the status is complete? This is showing up on the home page of nvc (IV) Your case is currently being reviewed at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate where your visa interview will take place. Please complete and submit the Immigrant Visa (IV) Application (form DS-260) for each applicant on the case. After submitting the DS-260, upload all supporting documentation (as described on our website) for each applicant, if it hasn’t been done already.
