The only delays were due to the pandemic (when everything ground to a halt) and to me (while I was sorting out my personal life around the planning of the move). I did everything by myself. The information on this forum (and other online resources) was invaluable!	2023-07-25

Got to the US, called to attend USCIS in PA 12th June 2018 for fingerprint scan and photo. Very easy, no wait. I-551 received by mail 30th June 2018.	2019-06-11
Daughter & Mother	Jamaica	Texas	No	Jamaica						2017-04-05				2017-05-01	2017/05/05	2017-06-30	So, i am back with the details of how my journey went today. I had a 8:00 appointment and arrived at 7:30, there are two lines, to my fellow Jamaicans please ask the police officer which line you should join, passport, photo and appointment letter are then asked for to be checked and then you proceed to go through Security. FYI, there are a host of things you cannot take into the Embassy (including makeup, flash drives, cellphones etc.), so don't bring a lot of stuff when you go there. I then got a number and a form to fill out for DHL registration, but I had already done that online so I proceeded inside to the area for Immigrant Visa Applicants. Let me just tell you I was nervous as he'll! It seemed like I was there waiting and waiting forever! lol. Anyway, my number was called and I went to the window and was asked to hand in certain documents and my finger prints were scanned. The lady then told me to have a seat and listen for my name to be called. While waiting I was paying attention to what was going on, FYI, it doesn't help your case to keep saying 'i don't know' to the Consular Officer! That's all I heard coming from this one man, he didn't even know his Mother's date of birth! lol, the CO was not impressed at all! Anyway, by 10:00am my name was called and I went to the window for my Interview (still nervous I might add). The CO was a Chinese male and he was basically straight forward, he gave no eye contact, not even a smile, he asked me to swear to tell the whole truth thing and took my fingerprints again. The questions I got where..... 1. Who is the Petitioner? 2. What is she to you? 3. Where does she live? 4. How long has she lived in the U.S.? 5. What does she do? 6. Have I ever been charged with a crime? 7. He also tried to trick me with a question, but it was a good thing I was actually listening to him No request for updated W2's or I-864, all in all the worst part of the experience was the waiting, the interview was a breeze and over before I knew it. He then said everything looked okay, that my visa was approved and I could expect to have it back within a week. What I was curious about though was that the lady who I submitted my documents to told me my medical hadn't arrived as yet, but at no time did the CO indicate that to me, so I'll wait and see if I do get my passport back within the week time frame that was given. My status is at Administrative Processing now. No more watching for the Visa Bulletin to see when i will be current or waiting for correspondence from NVC! God is good and I am happy, happy, happy! To everyone else waiting, hanging in there,your time is gonna come :)	2017-07-13
