Hey, Just got back from trying to get her second vaccine shot. We were told that we have to leave before the body check expires, it is good for 6 months(July in our case), and the visa expires a month after(Aug). So if we leave in Aug, we would have to get the body check again. Just wanted to share this.
-
Ya so as long as I come back within 6 months as shown on visa, I am fine? Just want to make sure there isn't an expiration date on police record or medical that I have to be worried about. We are planning to travel before we head back home.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the supports I got here. Received the visa today. Here are the timelines: 11/09/2012 DCF @ GZ 12/02/2013 P3 received 12/05/2012 Forms filled and sent back 01/27/2013 Received interview letter 02/18/2013 Documents intake 02/19/2013 Interview 02/26/2013 Visa received Total time: 3 months and 17 days, or 109 days. Quick question, we only have to worry about the expiration date on the VISA, correct? I remember reading somewhere that we should leave before medical report or police record expires, but I cannot find that reference anymore.

Here you go, http://www.uscis.gov/immigrantfee I think it is new, it said " Any individual who on or after February 1, 2013 receives an immigrant visa package from a United States consulate or embassy abroad (including Canada and Mexico) must pay the USCIS Immigrant Fee." The officer took my job offer letter for some reason and did not give it back, but it doesn't matter I think I can explain to my employer.

Guys, Just thought of something, about photographs of us, are we supposed to have two sets, one for document intake, one for interview? Or just one set to bring on the interview day? Thanks.
-
I read through a lot of old threads here and got myself prepared. Good luck!
-
Thanks guys, noted! Bring both copies and originals for document intake, let them have the copies. Bring the originals for the interview. We are applying for CR1.

Time between p3 and p4 interview scheduled
mrk replied to TnN's topic in Consulate Process: P-3 ~ Interview
For us it was, 12/05/2012 - P3 sent 01/27/2013 - P4 received Adn we did the medical at GZ. -
Congrats! Hope our interview will be as smooth.
-
I'd like to ask some questions about the document intake, the packet didn't go too indepth about the process. The document intake starts at 12:30pm, is there any reason for us to get there like 10am and wait in line? About how long will it that on that day? We are turning in our originals that day, including the passports? Will they give back the documents they took during the interview so my wife can use them for the questions? Will we get any of the originals back? Aside from the passports?The interview is getting closer so we are nervous about what could go wrong.
-
Thanks dnoblett. Fast and informative response as always.
-
Thanks guys. First day is for documents intake, then the second day when she goes in, is she supposed to bring anything? I remember reading from visajourney that we should keep the documents organized for the interview. But how can we be sure they will be in the same order after we turned it in? I have a co sponsor for I-864, and I have 3 years of his tax return, but I only have 2 years of my own, should I write a letter to explain why I am missing a year? or is that no important?
-
Thanks! Any idea on how to show that we live together? We do not have anything other than mails showing the same mailing address. Can't think of anything that will help, we don't really take pictures at home, but even if we did, I am not sure how the officer will know that we live there together.
