Is Mumbai consulate scheduling interviews for IR5 (Parent of a U.S. citizen)

[vapIR5]

Thanks AlienKanpur for your valuable guidance

Yup.. You need to wait until you get SSN.

Thank You!

Dear sapnaanagol,
I am pretty sure that you may not be allowed to open a bank account with the Indian passport. Some banks can be very strict. To my understanding the SSN is a must. Plus you need proof of address. If you have opened a NRO account, take a statement which must have your US address with full address with pin code etc. Passport will be accepted as an identity proof. SSN will prove your landed Immigrant status. My bank was particularly fussy and my credentials were accepted only after I got the Permanent Resident card. Maybe GeoMac may want to add something. Best wishes for smooth entry to USA.

Dear aleinkanpur,as usual, you are so prompt & give valuable suggestions,even Geomac does!
Thank you!

Heartiest Congratulations Raj2022. This is the point of culmination of all the hard work and heartburns. The card will reach in three days max. We are still waiting for the update on my wife’s card. Phoning is absolutely a waste of time. I tried, unsuccessfully, yesterday. You are only struggling with a machine. I have sent an enquiry.
Best wishes one more time.

Dear group members,
Me and my wife traveled by Ethihad Airlines which comes via Abu Dabhi. We had our immigration at Abu Dabhi itself. It was very smooth. At First Pre-clearence, the Immigration Officer did not ask anything except the address where the GC is to be sent. Then he took us to the Second Pre-Clearence room where I have filled a form which contains personal details name, passport number, address where we are staying in US and declaration for valuable and items carrying with us to US and gave it the Officer. After few minutes he gave us our Passports with IR5 admit stamp and asked us to proceed to boarding.

Regarding, my self I am Sathya Reddy Atmakur, retired in June 2021 as Asst. Registrar and Secretary to Vice-Chancellor, Osmania University, Hyderabad after serving the University 40 years.

Presently I am staying with my younger son at Herndon, VA. As desired, I am posting a photograph of myself and my wife.

Thank you.

IR5 document checklist needed pls

Dear Sahana22,
Your post is rather unclear. Are you a petitioner or a beneficiary. Are you planning to file a I130 petition followed by DS 260. To my knowledge, no body has posted such a data in this forum. You will find every thing on the USCIS website. Or even a Google search will help you. Best wishes.
