REPOSTING....Please advise

Hello All,
I have a question regarding Police certificate from Houston consulate. I do not live in Houston but I plan to go to Houston later this month and I am planning to apply for police certificate in person when I go to Houston.
I wanted to know if the police certificate will be granted on same day for in-person application at Houston consulate? If they dont issue the certificate the same day then do they keep the passports with them or do they just check passport when accepting the application?

Someone who has got police certificate from Houston or any other US consulate, please reply.....This will greatly help me in planning my visit.

They wont grant PCC on same but will verify original passport & return on same day. PCC will come later.

So if you dont want to send your passport & be away from it for 12 week then you can visit else it wont matter.

in her copy of additional family information imm5406 under her present address new address is written correctly

in the extra sheet of her copy of additional family information imm5406 ( because additional space is required for her full name in arabic) under her present address the new address is incorrectly replaced by the old address

Thanks for the clarification...

Thanks for the clarification...

You are welcome.
I would advise you to apply for FBI PCC right away.. It is taking 3-4 months. so now is the better time if you have not already done.

It won't go off track. It is US Government you are dealing with. CIC will extend the PCC submission deadline if you show them proof of application with FBI.
Congrats for MR. SPVO is amazing. +1

Thanks Diplomatru. Nothing else to do instead of waiting!

This depends. If your current passport was issued by Houston, you will definitely get it same day after 4 pm. If not, they will take 2 weeks.

Hello All,

I am a May 30th applicant who has a deadline in 2 weeks to submit PCC, Medical and RPRF. I have submitted Medicals and can also make RPRF payment. However, I am still awaiting FBI police clearance certificate which was submitted to them on September 30th. Has anyone been in a similar situation. Any advise?

Send mail to your local VO for extension with the reason. I got it for similar situation.

Hi Guys!

I need you advice. I have a friend who applied for the FSWP and is currently awaiting MR. He has been recently diagnosed with testicular cancer and has begun treatment. However, doctors have said that he will be infertile as a result of the cancer mitigation procedures. How do you think this will affect his process? Do you think he will be rejected because of his history of cancer? Will he be rejected because he is now infertile? Or will he be rejected for both reasons? I appreciate your comments... Thanks!

Im sorry for your friend, as other members said infertility is not an issue, but cancer is, the worst part is that even after remission it can be a ground for inadmissibility.

"...people with a health condition that might reasonably be expected to cause excessive demand on health or social services [A38(1)(c)]; see also R1 and R34..."

I recall a famous case of an indian woman who was already working and studying in canada and was placed in deportation procedures because she has breast cancer.

However finding a good immigration lawyer is the next step, the case should be based on proving that the annual expenses relating to the treatment won't cost more than 6000 (approx) cads, and proving to have enough founds to cover expenses in the case that the limit is exceeded.
Best wishes for you and your friend.

Let me put down what I think is happening on the PPR front:

Applicants to the FSWP program will no longer be processed in the order the application was submitted. We are being ranked based on our eligibility. CEC, PNP and applicants with job offers receive the highest ranks, just like in EE. After a certain number of applicants have completed the MR stage, CIC will draw a few of the highest ranking candidates and issue them PPR-s. Then the rankings start again as more applicants pass MR. After a certain period of time, the next set will receive PPR-s. I already see evidence of this happening. Some people, who submitted applications later, have randomly got PPR, from the same visa office. PPR will now come out in bursts, not in a flow or sequence.

If you are with me so far, let me give everyone the bad news. This means some of us will never get a PPR, if we remain at the bottom of the ranking list. There is no point in looking at the SS trying to analyze when your turn is going to come. It's over for many of us.

Not at all, probably those thoughts are the result of being tired and sick of waiting, but we need to be patient. Actually we have to be grateful to the lord that we measure our immigration process in days and months not in years, like others less fortunate in the past.
