Toplamda 4 kere konsolosluğa girip çıkarak artık memurlarla arkadaş olduğumuz ve Hong Kong’da çok güzel geçen 17 günün ardından tecrübelerimi ve yaşadıklarımı mülakatımın tüm detaylarıyla birlikte sizlerle paylaşmak istiyorum.

Bizimle birlikte süreci atlatan arkadaşlar için tarihe not; bizden sonrakilere ise yol göstermesi dileğiyle:

 

Dosyamızı taşıyıp mülakat gününü aldıktan sonra direkt aşılara odaklandım. Sizlere tavsiyem aşıları son dakika olun ki 2. Doza Hong Kong’da para vermeyin. Önce ben antikor testi yaptırdım çıkmayanlar içinde:

-5’li karma, Hepatit B, influenza yaptırdım Türkiyede.

O yüzden bana hiç aşı yapmadılar. 5’li karmadaki polioyu vs. hepsini saydılar. Covidi mecbur orda yaptırdım yaklaşık 1800HKD ödedim.

Sağlık muayenesini Andersondan almıştım çünkü Nicolson çok erken tarihlere randevu veriyordu. Muayene günü istenen belgeler ile gittim. Hemen mülakat tarihime baktılar ve rapor yetişmez konsolosluğa mail at ertelettir dediler. Ben de bu tarihi onların verdiğini sorumluluğun onlarda olduğunu söyledim. Sonra sekreter baya sinirlendi falan garanti etmiyoruz haftaya bir uğra dediler tamam dedim çıktım.

Check-up’a geçtik: İlk röntgen çekildim sonra kan ve idrar verdim, göz kontrolü, en son da doktor geldi genel soyundurup vücudu kontrol etti sorular sordu sıkıntısız hallettik.

Her şey toplam 4700HKD ödedim çıktım ama rapor hala muallaktaydı.

Ardından mülakat gününe kadar çok güzel arkadaşlıklar edindik, çok harika insanlarla tanıştık; bunlardan hiç unutamayacağım kişi tabiki: Lockhard Rd. Wan Chai bölgesinde İstanbull Express Masterchef Emin Usta 😊 Adamın dibidir kendisi, her yönden bize destek oldu, sizde giderseniz mutlaka bir uğrayın bir çorbasını için derim.

Sağlık muayenesinden 1 hafta geçti hala ses soluk yoktu ben de tabiki bir Türk işi yapayım dedim: Söylemesi ayıp bir kutu donut, tart vs tatlı kutusu yaptırdım aldım gittim hastahaneye. 😀 Hemşireler şaşırdı bu ne falan filan dediler; dedim öyle raporum çıkmıştır belki diye teşekküre getirdim dedim. Sonra bana kızan sekreter kadın geldi ona da anlattım size getirdim diye; ne gerek vardı, çok teşekkür ederiz dediler kadın beni elimden tuttu gel raporun çıkmış mı bakalım dedi baktık yoktu, iki gün sonra gel dedi hazır olur dedi tamam dedim. Sonra gittim raporum hazırdı, hepsi tatlılar için teşekkür etti mülakatımda ve amerikada başarılar dileyip uğurladılar beni sağolsunlar. Raporum 1 haftada çıktı yani.

Aynı gün bir arkadaşımın mülakatı vardı ve AP’ye kaldı sabah. Öğlende beraber yemek yerken konsolosluktan mail geldi: Pasaportunuzu geri getirin diye. Sabah tercümanla mülakata giren arkadaşım öğleden sonra tercümana ulaşamadığı için konsolosluğa beraber gittik ve kapıda tercümanlık yapmak için rica ettim onlarda kabul ettiler ve daha mülakat günüm gelmeden konsolosluğa ilk defa girdim. Vize memuru ve biz vardık kimse yoktu bizi hemen çağırdı pasaportu istedi ve bazı özel bilgileri teyit ettirdi, ben de elimden geldiğince çevirdim ve o şekilde ayrıldık oradan.

İki gün sonra arkadaşımın CEAC’daki durumu issued oldu ve hemen pasaportu almaya gittik yine beraber vizesini almıştı çok şükür, vize memurunun söylediklerini arkadaşıma ilettim ve mutlu bir şekilde oradan ayrıldık. Yine o aradaki günlerde çok güzel gezdik, yedik, içtik eğlendik. Hong Kongta 17 günde çoğu gün otele insanlar işe giderken girmişizdir.

Ardından geldi benim mülakat günü 13 Ocak pazartesi. O gün toplam 5 case Türk vardı. Sabah belgelerimiz hazır şekilde güzel resmi bir kıyafetle konsolosluğun önüne gittim. 8’de ordaydık kapıdaki güvenliğe pasaportumu gösterdim o da listeden adımı onayladı ve tam 8.30’da gel dedi. Bizde karşı duvara yaslanıp bekledik. Sonra 8.30 da bizi içeri aldılar. Normal güvenlik prosedürleri: üstümüzü aradılar falan oralar çok rahattı. Yukarı çıktık ben arkalara oturdum. Karşımızda 3 tane gişe var. İlk gişe sırayla pasaportları ve fotoğrafları alıyor. Yanındaki gişe belgeleri tek tek alıyor ve birkaç soru da soruyor genellikle. Son gişe de asıl mülakat dediğimiz sağ el kaldırıp yemin ederek mülakatınız yapılıyor.

Öndeki arkadaşlardan sonra ben de pasaportumu ve fotoğrafımı verdim ve ortadaki belgeleri isteyen memura geldim: O zaten pek yüzünüze bakmıyor genelde belgelerin doğruluğu ve tam olmasıyla ilgileniyor. Bana üniversite diplomamda diploma supplement ile transkriptin farkını sordu onları açıkladım. Sonra onu da dosyama ekledi. Lise için barkodlu mezuniyet belgen yok mu dedi bu e-devletten aldığımız. Ben de o yok diploma yeterli diye getirmedim dedim. Tamam sorun yok dedi. Orayı atlattık. Sonra beni vezneye gönderdi 330USD ödememi yaptım ve herkesle birlikte son memurun penceresini açıp mülakata başlamasını bekledik.

İlk giren arkadaş çağrılmadan ben tam memurun karşısında olduğum için tam sandalyesine otururken elinde mavi kağıt gördüm. Arkadaşlara dedim bu birimize geliyor ama kime acaba. Sonra ilk çağrılan arkadaşa birkaç soru sorduktan sonra mavi kağıdı uzatıp AP’ye kaldığını söyledi. Tercümanda pek bir şey anlamadı. Size tavsiyem yes/no biraz ingilizce biliyorsanız tercümana hiç gerek yok bu arada.

Bizim tabi moraller düştü biraz ama ben çok net gördüm kağıt 1 taneydi yani. Sonra sırayla diğer arkadaşları da çağırdı onlar aldı vizelerini. Sıra geldi bana:

İlk olarak yemini ettim, parmak izlerini verdim. Sonra ilk sorusu eğitim seviyemi sordu Lisans dedim, ne yapıyorsun şimdi anlat dedi ben de anlattım iş güç yeni mezunum yeni başladım sonra bu green card işleriyle uğraşıyorum dedim. Sonra amerikaya daha önce gitmişsin dedi evet dedim. Nereye gittin? Ne için gittin? Hangi tarihlerde giriş çıkış yaptın vs. bunları detaylıca sordu bana. En son gidince kimin yanına gideceksin dedi ben de arkadaşımın dedim. Ne iş yapıyor dedi, master dedim. Vizen onaylandı dedi şükür atlattık geçtik.

Ertesi gün vizeler çıkmıştır umuduyla gittik ama maalesef elimiz boş döndük. Bir gün sonra tekrar gittik: benimle giren arkadaşlara vize yok demişler ben gittim beni aldılar içeri, girdiğimde Bir abimiz ve ablamız vardı onlarda 1 hafta falan beklediler pasaportları almaya gelmişlerdi. Onlarla sohbet ettik memur ilk onları çağırdı ben de yanlarında gittim yine tercüme konusunda yardımcı olmak için. Onlar pasaportlarını vizeler basılı şekilde aldı çok şükür.

Vize memuru beni çağırdı sonra: sana çok teşekkür ederim Türklere burda çok yardımcı oldun dedi. Dedim valla ben teşekkür ederim. Sonra bana zarfı kağıtları verirken sana açıklamıyorum biliyorsun zaten dedi ben de biliyorum abi dedim, aldım çıktım şükür. Çıkarken güvenliklerde finally falan dediler bana 😊 baya samimilerdi onlarda good luck dediler çıktık o şekilde.

Ardından kalan 2-3 günümde de yine güzel zaman geçirdik gezdik ve Hong Kong macerasını da başarıyla tamamlamış olduk.

Bir çok arkadaşımız belki masraftan belki de uzak olmasından HK’dan çekiniyor olabilir o yüzden tüm masraflarımı aşağıya yazıyorum:

UÇAK: Gidiş: China southern , Dönüş: thai airways. 30000TL

Otel: 17 gece x 2000 tl = 34000TL (ortalama bir apart gibi bir yerdi ama genişti)

Sağlık muayenesi: 4700HKD

Günlük yemek: 200HKD bütçe yapmıştım günlük o da toplam yaklaşık: 17000TL

Vize ücreti: 330 USD

Covid aşısı: 8000TL

Belge tercümeleri: 3000TL

Ulaşım – sim kart – ufak tefek giderler: 10000TL

TOPLAM: 135.000 TL tutmuş yaklaşık. (3800 USD, Tek kişi)

Bunlara ek olarak bazı özel alışverişler, geziler, ekstra harcamalar onları katmadım.

Bu süreçte forumdan ve gruplardan yardımlaştığımız, iletişime geçtiğimiz kim varsa Allah onlardan razı olsun. Hepsine tek tek teşekkür ediyorum. Hong Kong’da kısa sürede tanıştığım güzel insanlardan da Allah razı olsun, umarım ABD’de de yollarımız hep böyle iyi insanlarla kesişir.

Herkese sevgi ve saygılarımla…

Tuğrul.

Herkese merhaba, paylaşacağım deneyimimden umarım herkes faydalanabilir. DV2025 talihlisi olarak ilk aşamada hiçbir konuya vakıf değildim. Sürekli videolar ve forumlar aracılığıyla araştırma yapmıştım. İlk olarak DS-260 formunu, çekiliş açıklandıktan iki ay sonra doldurdum. Bu tarz işlemlerle ilgilenmek istemediğim için danışman eşliğinde sorunsuz ilerletmek istedim. Birkaç danışmanla görüşme yaptıktan sonra sadece Onur Demirel’in daha ilgili ve gerçekçi olduğuna karar verdim ve danışmanlık talep ettim. Onur Bey’e tekrardan teşekkürlerimi sunuyorum.

Dosya numaramın yüksek olması (11xxx) ve Ankara’nın çok yavaş ilerlemesi, dosya taşıma fikrimi daha da netleştirmişti. Onur Bey ile görüşerek dosyamı Hong Kong’a taşıdık. Taşıma işlemini dosyam aktif olmadan önce yaptık ve birkaç gün içinde dosyam taşındı. Hong Kong’daki işlemlerde, sağlık randevum için Dr. Nicolson’ı tercih ettim. Mülakatım ve sağlık randevum yılbaşına ve tatillere denk geldiği için neredeyse bir ay orada kaldım. Zaten Dr. Nicolson, muayeneyi 10-15 gün öncesine veriyordu.

20 Aralık’ta sağlık randevum, 8 Ocak’ta ise mülakatım vardı. İstenilen aşılardan sadece Hepatit B aşısını Türkiye’de olabildim. Antikor testini ise Türkiye’de devlet hastanesinde enfeksiyon bölümünden halletmiştim. Muayenede Hepatit B 2. doz + COVID + polio + influenza için toplam 8000 HKD ödedim. Konaklama için oteller pahalı olduğundan dolayı Airbnb tutmaya karar verdim ve 27 gün için 45 bin TL ödedim. Sadece nakit 3000 dolar ile gitmiştim; içerisinde tercüman ücreti ve vize ücretleri de dahildi. Tercümanım Murat Sezer idi, tekrardan teşekkür ediyorum. Siz, İngilizcesi iyi seviyede olan birini de tercüman olarak götürebiliyorsunuz; ben bunu sonradan öğrenmiştim.

Mülakat günü gerçekten aksiyonlu geçmişti. Neyse ki mülakata yetiştim. İlk olarak kontrollerden geçiyorsunuz ve küçük bir bekleme salonu tarzında, dört adet bankodan oluşan bir alanda her şey gerçekleşiyor. Mülakat güzel geçmesine rağmen AP’ye kalmıştım; mavi kağıdı almıştım. AP sebebi ve AP süresi hakkında hiçbir bilgi verilmiyor. Size tavsiyem, ısrar etmeyin ve sakin kalın. AP’de kalma sebebini bilmediğimiz için biraz gerilmiştim fakat şanslı biri olduğuma inanıyorum ki 3 saat sonra bana pasaportumu teslim etmem için mail atmışlardı.

Pasaport teslimi için gittiğimde, tercümanıma ulaşamadığım için arkadaşım Tuğrul tercümanlık yaptı. Desteği için çok teşekkür ediyorum. Pasaport teslim sonrası tekrardan çağırıldım. Bu kez ailem ile ilgili birkaç soru soruldu. Annemin kızlık soyadı ve babamla ilgili birkaç soru gibi… Konsolosluğa toplamda 4 kez gitmiş bulundum. Bize göre AP sebebinin, ailevi yapımda biraz karışıklık olmasıydı. İki gün sonra pasaportu almam için tekrardan bilgilendirildim fakat biz üst üste heyecanla sorunca konsolosluk görevlisi, pasaportumu göstererek “visa, visa, visa” dedi ve güldü. Güzel bir anı olarak kaldı benim için. Çok fazla kasmamak gerekiyor, süreç çok rahat ilerliyor. Bu süreçte önemli olan, sabredebilmekti.

AP sürecinde destek olan diğer arkadaşlarıma teşekkür ediyorum. Umarım her şey gönlünüzce olur ve ilerler.

Mülakatta sorulan sorular:

-İsminiz ve soy isminiz nedir?

-Nerede yaşıyorsunuz?

-Mesleğiniz nedir?

-En son hangi okuldan mezun oldunuz?

-Mezun olduğunuz tarih ve mezun olduğunuz tarihteki yaşınız?

-Hiç tutuklandınız mı?

-Eşiniz veya çocuğunuz var mı?

-Daha önce yurtdışına seyahat ettiniz mi?

Mülakat öncesi istenilen veya kontrol edilen belgeler:

-Lise diploması ve tercümesi

-Üniversite diploması (İngilizceydi zaten)

-Kimlik fotokopisi

-Pasaport fotokopisi

-Vukuatlı nüfus kayıt örneği tercümesi

-Adli sicil kaydı (İngilizceydi zaten)

-Amerika’daki adres

-Sağlık sonuçları

-Davet mektubu

-Fotoğraf (2×2 inç boyutunda)

Banka dokümanı istenmedi fakat birkaç kişiden farklı belgeler de istenmişti, bilginiz olsun. Selamlar.

Here’s a detailed table outlining the situations that can jeopardize a U.S. citizenship application (naturalization):

Reasons for Citizenship Application Denial Description
Failure to Meet Eligibility Requirements – Insufficient permanent residency duration (typically 5 years, or 3 if married to a U.S. citizen).
– Not meeting the required physical presence (30 months out of the last 5 years).
– Not residing in the USCIS district for at least 3 months prior to application.
Criminal Record and Good Moral Character – Conviction of serious crimes (murder, rape, drug trafficking, etc.).
– Crimes involving moral turpitude (theft, fraud, domestic violence).
– Repeated minor offenses that indicate poor moral character.
– False statements or misrepresentation during the application process.
Unpaid Taxes or Tax Violations – Failure to file federal or state tax returns.
– Accumulation of unpaid taxes during residency.
Immigration and Residency Violations – Visa overstay or violations of immigration laws.
– Entering the U.S. using fraudulent documents.
– Long absences (over 6 months) from the U.S., disrupting continuous residency.
Language and Civic Knowledge Deficiency – Inability to demonstrate sufficient English language skills.
– Failure to pass the civics exam (U.S. history and government knowledge).
Financial Instability – Inability to demonstrate financial self-sufficiency.
– Dependence on government assistance programs.
Violation of Immigration Laws – Obtaining a Green Card through fraudulent marriage or documents.
– Prior immigration fraud or violations.
Administrative and Procedural Errors – Incomplete or incorrectly filled Form N-400.
– Missing or incorrect supporting documents.
– Failure to pay application fees.
Military Service Violations – Desertion or draft evasion from U.S. military service.

Additional Factors That Can Affect the Application:

  • Criminal Background Checks: A criminal background check is conducted, and any undisclosed offenses can lead to rejection.
  • Ties to Terrorist Organizations: Association with or support for terrorist organizations results in automatic denial.
  • Lying During Interviews: Any false information provided during the naturalization interview can be grounds for disqualification.
  • Failure to Register for Selective Service: Males aged 18-26 must register for Selective Service. Failure to do so may negatively affect the application.

How to Avoid Rejection:

  • Ensure Accuracy in Forms: Double-check all entries in Form N-400 and attach all required documentation.
  • Settle Tax Debts: Pay any outstanding taxes before applying. Submit proof of payment or a payment plan.
  • Clear Criminal Record: Seek legal counsel if you have a criminal record. Some offenses may require waivers or additional documentation.
  • Prepare for Language and Civics Tests: Study for the citizenship test by using official USCIS resources and language courses.

Key Notes:

  • Certain waivers can apply for those who are unable to meet language requirements due to age or medical conditions.
  • Continuous residency can be preserved by applying for Re-entry Permits if long-term travel is necessary.
  • Legal Assistance: Hiring an immigration attorney can significantly reduce the risk of application denial.

This detailed overview highlights potential obstacles during the naturalization process and offers proactive measures to ensure a smoother application.

Adjustment of Status (AOS) for Green Card Holders

Adjustment of Status (AOS) is a process that allows temporary immigrants in the U.S. to transition to permanent residency (Green Card). Below are detailed insights on how Green Card holders can undergo this process, the requirements, and the challenges they may face.

Requirements for Filing an AOS Application

  1. Physically Present in the U.S. The person applying for AOS must be physically present in the U.S.
  2. Eligible Immigration Category The applicant must fall into a suitable immigration category, such as being married to a U.S. citizen or having an employer sponsor within the U.S.
  3. Legal Entry The applicant must have entered the U.S. legally, with a valid visa status such as a tourist or student visa.
  4. Visa Status The applicant’s visa should still be valid, and their status should not have been violated.
  5. Medical Examination A medical examination report proving the applicant meets certain health conditions is required for the AOS application.

AOS Process

  1. Completing Form I-485 To apply for AOS, the applicant must complete and submit Form I-485 (Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status) to the USCIS (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services).
  2. Supporting Documents Copies of the passport, visa, birth certificate, marriage certificate, medical examination report, and financial documents need to be included.
  3. Biometric Appointment The USCIS will schedule an appointment for the applicant to provide biometric data (fingerprints, photograph, signature).
  4. Immigration Interview In most cases, the applicant will be called for an interview with a USCIS officer. During this interview, the officer will verify the accuracy and validity of the information provided.
  5. Decision After reviewing the application and completing necessary security checks, USCIS will make a decision. If approved, the applicant will receive a Green Card, granting them permanent resident status.

Potential Challenges

  1. Time-Consuming Process The AOS process can be quite lengthy, with biometric appointments, interviews, and reviews potentially taking months or even years.
  2. Comprehensive Documentation AOS applications require a significant amount of documentation and evidence, which can take time and effort to gather and prepare.
  3. Stressful Interview Process The interview can be stressful, and it is crucial to provide accurate and complete answers to the questions asked.
  4. Risk of Denial AOS applications can be denied for various reasons, such as illegal entry, incorrect or missing documents.
  5. Financial Burden The AOS process can be costly, with application fees, biometric service fees, and medical examination costs adding to the applicant’s expenses.

Process and Timeline

The processing time for Green Card (DV Lottery) Adjustment of Status (AOS) applications can vary. On average, AOS applications take between 8 to 14 months to complete. However, this timeline can depend on several factors:

  • The state and workload of the USCIS office processing the application
  • Whether the application and supporting documents are complete and accurate
  • The completion of necessary security checks
  • The completion of medical examination and biometric procedures

You can check the status of your application online through the USCIS website. It is important to be patient during this process and to follow all necessary steps carefully.
