Hi JMS,

Were these sent directly to you or was sent to a location that was selected and you had to pick from there ?

Thanks

The passports were to sent our address. You can choose pick up or premium delivery when you make your VAC Appointment. On delivery we paid Rs.650/- for each passport.

Once the IR5 visa is issued is there a downside in taking to and fro tickets from India? I heard that there can be issues at the POE with to and fro tickets but I am not sure if that is true at all.

Thank you!

Once you enter USA with the IR5 visa, one should plan to stay for atleast six months. No airline will give a return ticket with return flight greater than six months. So it is desirable to enter with a one way ticket. This is my personal understanding.

In the past posts, they said when nvc is about to schedule the interview the status changes to in transit, so might be worth tocheck for Aug DQ

Hi Patelsahil :- We are also August 2020 qualified. So far the August account has not opened on this forum of ours. The latest I recall is a family with a DQ of 28th July 2020.
Probably this coming week, we shall hear from someone with an interview email with a August 2020 DQ date.
Let us remain hopeful . Please keep us updated. We are 19th August 2020 DQ. We are based in Panaji, Goa, India.
With regards.
