Dear sapnaanagol
I carried my new passport and two old passports, one of which had valid visas of USA and UK. Another old passport I carried had expired visa of other country. I did not carry with me other old passports. If you have valid B1/B2 or any US visa on your old passport or on current passport, the officer will want it to put a cancellation stamp.

Dear sapnaanagol,
you need to carry only the current passport and the passport on which VISA is stamped. The expired passports need not be carried. Best wishes.

Dear tooolong
1. IR5 cases are dealt with at US Consulate Mumbai only.
2. When they grant Immigration Visa, they put a "CANCELLED WITHOUT PREJUDICE" stamp on nonimmigrant visa page in your passport.

My point is that, that this may be a phising mail. Be careful.

i appreciate your concern but it is not. This is a genuine email.

Hi to all,
my father received passport with no stamp.
212a issue. With eligible to file waiver. Need help
thanks

My mother has her interview soon. I am the petitioner of her visa so she will be taking my birth certificate along with her. Does she also need to take my brother's birth certificate? He is not immigrating. Please help me with this query. Really appreciate your response.

Dear Raj2022,
really sorry to hear that your father’s visa has been refused. I wonder if any body in the forum is competent to handle such an issue. I tried looking into the issue of 212a. This seems to be all about “public charge”. The officer may have felt that your father may become a public liability. Generally, such clauses come without a waiver. In your case, your father is eligible to file a waiver. This is a serious matter and I suggest that the help of an attorney must be taken. Best wishes.

I talk to some people say you need to feel out I 601.
This form filled out by my father is that correct ?
fee for this $930. He lives in small town no immigration attorney.

Dear spDQJUN2021,
Good luck for your mom’s forthcoming interview. You must have fixed the biometrics appointment. The intimation from the biometric people gives you a list of all the documents that would be needed at the time of Interview. If my memory serves me right she must carry the following:
For a Consular Interview

• DS 260 confirmation page
• Two recent photographs 2x2 inches
• Medical Report (No X-ray films or discs)
• Police Clearance Certificate from the Regional Passport Office
• Original and photocopy of Birth Certificate, Marriage Certificate, Divorce decree
• Affidavit of Support: Forms I-864, I-864A, recent Tax returns, W2s and job letter (if not already submitted to the NVC)

As a precaution one should carry originals of all the documents that were submitted either with the I-130 petition or the DS-260 application. Most likely they may not even look at your birth certificate or that of your brother.
Best wishes.

Dear Raj2022,
I already mentioned that this is a serious matter and you cannot afford any further denial. You need to consult an attorney at your end, not your father in India. Like our entire case was handled by the ****** Law firm in LA. My daughter who lives in the Midwest, had hired them.
I am totally incompetent in this particular issue.
Best wishes.
