    Thank you AlienKanpur! Appreciate the response. The website does not allow me to add another applicant. I keep getting this error. I have verified that all fields have valid information. None of the data entered matches with data for the other applicant including email addr & phone #. Not sure what I am doing wrong here. Any suggestions how to resolve this?
    Thanks!

    Hello GC2023

    You create new ID and password (one never used earlier on US website) and problem should disappear. Regarding the postponement of interview date, I absolutely agree with AlienKanpur. We had our interview appointment last September and as we were on a visit to USA, we tried to postpone it, but did not succeed. Ultimately went to India and completed the process successfully. Best wishes.

    • Hi all -- At port of entry, I had provided my new address so they can mail the SSN and GC to the new address (since i had moved) - for my mother who was with me at POE.

      SSN: did not receive so i went to local SSN office who are going to mail me a new card.
      GC: When i track my gc with my case number, it said it was mailed on July 13 but i have not received it nor have i got a tracking number.
      -- I am unable to find the tracking information on my uscis portal (the one which i used to file i-130 nor the ceac website).

      can you please let me know what my options are? is there a way to track it? i'm worried it might have been lost by now. thank you.

        Dear vmsk0716,

        you do not check the GC status using the case number. You have to use the receipt number that you would have got when you paid the $220 fee. How long ago did your mom enter USA.
        THE GC is rarely lost. There is a remote possibility that your address was not updated. In any case you need to wait for 90 days before you make any move. Best wishes.

          Thanks AlienKanpur as always. You are right - i did use that number. It shows that the GC was mailed on July 13th but did not provide a tracking number.

              On an average the SSN should come within 10-12 days. SSN office would only entertain you 3 weeks after arrival. If it doesn't show up by 24th July you should visit the local SSN office.

                  Per guidelines in the communication of 221g you don't need an appointment for using the drop box facility. It is also free service. You may like to check your intimation whether they wanted you to submit details on email / through drop box. hope this helps.

                    1. Do not try to postpone the date of interview. If you wish to do that, then you must wait until, after the due date. Then to try to find a slot. Let me caution you that the next available date may well be six months away. People from this forum have rescheduled but only due to the medical reasons (people required to take the sputum test). My advise, once again, do not try to postpone.
                    Best wishes
                    AlienKanpur AS45 - We have a need to postpone the interview (if possible) to buy extra time due to personal reasons. Hence my question regarding postponing the interview. Anyone know the process to do this? Will we be allowed to choose a future date (on their website usatraveldocs.com, I presume?)

                    Thanks!!

                      Dear gc2023,
                      you can get a new date for the interview on the same site you used to schedule the biometrics. But you will have to wait until the scheduled date of the interview has gone by. You will get a new date generally in the distant future, unless the things have changed over the past few months. Good luck. Do it only if it is absolutely unavoidable. best wishes.

                        1. Is there a limit to how much money they can wire to US (at any given time) or in total over multiple transactions?
                        2. If anyone has worked with an accountant they can recommend advising on tax implications and filings, etc that will be very useful. Especially if in Northeast US.

                        Thank you as always.
                        Dear Aanedo,
                        As per the latest RBI guidelines for money transfer from India to USA in one financial year you can transfer a total of $ 2,50,000/-. Also each individual can personally carry a maximum of
                        $ 10,000 in the flight.
                        Please be advised that DO NOT do multiple transfer of money from India to USA in one financial year as both your accounts will come under scrutiny from the Indian DRI and the US Federal Agencies. This type of money transfer is called "STRUCTURING" and is immediately reported to the government by the respective banks, as well.
                        Please have your IT returns handy just in case of any queries at either side.
                        Best wishes.

                          Since, their India driving License were accepted so they do not have to take road test. Also, NJ is offering this knowledge test with option in Hindi so they will be able to take that in Hindi language.

                          Please share your thoughts.

                          Thanks,

                          Namaskar Shanaya ji,
                          Please log into the New Jersey MVC and you will get many "Practice Driver's Test" questions with answers.
                          I am in MD and I am also in the process of doing this. Also as per latest guidelines the MD-MVA (Motor Vehicle Administration) are issuing a REAL-ID Driver,s Licence.
                          For this they are requiring the following documents:-
                          1.) SSN Original card
                          2.) Green Card original
                          3.) 3 hr Alcohol and Drug test certificate (Pass marks 80%)
                          4.) Bank Account details
                          5.) Proof of address
                          6.) Indian Driving Licence/International Driving Licence
                          7.) Eye test report from authorized+DMV registered doctor
                          8.) Online Driving Knowledge test report (Pass marks 80%)
                          After submitting the above documents you will be given an appointment date for the "Driving Test".After passing this test they will issue you the REAL ID Driving Licence. Please teach them Front and Reverse parking, Parallel parking, 3 point turn; as one of these is asked by the Examiner. Also tell them NEVER use the horn as this leads to a direct disqualification.
                          Best wishes,
                          ASG

                          • Hello everyone,

                            I have a question and I am hoping someone can provide me this information. My mother had medical appointment at Delhi Max center and she was given a CD and a vaccination record document. Are these the only 2 things which we were supposed to get from Max? Or is there anything else?
                            Also, could you please also tell me what medical examination related documents we need to carry for the interview. I am assuming that Max will send medical examination results report directly to embassy. Correct?
                            Thanks

                              I have one more question. My mother’s year of birth is 1961 and she doesn’t have birth certificate. What document she needs to carry to fulfill “birth certificate” requirement during interview?

                              THanks

                              • Hi All,

                                For Parents Green Card Interview in India

                                Does NVC sends interview appointment letter by mail (hard copy) or just the email appointment with all the details?

                                I have been following this forum. It has been very helpful throughout the Green Card process for my parents. Now they are scheduled for the interview on September 8, 2023. They have completed the biometrics and now trying to schedule their medical appointment. When they called to schedule their medical appointment, help desk asked them to bring hard copy of the interview letter. Has someone completed their Medical at Max Lajpat Nagar in New Delhi recently. Did you receive the original appointment letter to the medical appointment or the copy of the email appointment? We have only received email copy confirming appointment details but nothing in mail.

                                Thanks
