Hi pinktooth

Well when u enter the us at the airport they have make u fill up couple of form , they ask u all the info about where u r going to live,the person address and #no u r going to stay with and take the fingerprints and some digital pics of u , IF u r a guy they at the end of ur visit u have to go back to immigration office on the airport and tell them in person that u r about to leave the country.
one of my friends just came to US and it took him 3hrs to go throug the immigration on the airport.

Hope it helps

Hmm...Free mein Photo???

Hey Pinktooth, seriously speaking, This month onwards, the fingerprinting would be done at the Counsulate itself when you get the Visa...Atleast that's what has been told to me by some people who have applied..Also, to get the HB visa renewed, you have to return back to your country. It would not be done in the US

thanks Folks ... Were you fingerprinted Ajay?

 

[AjayDas]

Naah...The reason being that I haven't even applied for a US visa. I was too scared to apply for one..That's the reason why I opted for Toronto as the exam centre.

hi pinktooth

when i came back from my vacation in india, all they did was take my fingerprints at the port of entry into the US. they dint take a snap of me. i think they were taking snaps of all the males and couples, but not of women traveling alone. go figure! it was very cool. nothing to worry about. they have all the stuff required for it at the desks that the immigration officials sit at itself, so there is no real delay either. customs was very cool too.
