Someone out there who has an immigrant visa?

Question

Well, mine just arrived in the mail and something there confuses me. There's a line there saying

"Valid only if Acc/FTJ Father/Mother/Spouse"

What does "Acc/FTJ" mean? Can I not travel alone? Do I have to be with my parents? Do we really have to travel together to the country where we are to immigrate?

Answer 1

you must not have been the only one on primary application , someone else has apply and you are going with their basic application ?

am i correct ?

therefore the first person, that applied must go first or with you

you may not go first or without the person ,

and to answer your other question

no, you do not need to travel together , but you cannot go first and alone .

either with them ? or after them .

Answer 2

It means "accompanying or following to join."  You may travel alone, but only if the primary immigrant has already gone to the US with his or her immigrant visa.

Answer 3

An immigrant visa has "2 sub-components". The principal applicant and the derivatives. The principal applicant is the person who has been evaluated for his/her qualifications and to whom the immigrant visa has been granted. The derivatives (spouse and children) were given visas because of the principal applicant and NOT because of their qualifications.

In order to enter the new country, a derivative must accompany the principal applicant OR follow to join (some countries may want the immigrant family all together at entry for ease of processing). A derivative cannot enter the country BEFORE the principal applicant.**
