My interview was yesterday, on the 31st of July !!! I GOT IT ! I GOT MY VISA yay ! Im so happy

It was so easy too...I mean I got asked like 3 questions and they didnt even ask for any proofs...

So dont worry too much about the interview cause it's way easier than what I had imagined !

They said ill get my visa at begining of next week...after that im gonna get everythin rdy and probly leave to see my husband in about 2 weeks FINALLY !

Loolonette, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ty Renatchi !

I will be living in Missouri near St Louis.

I cant believe I got the wrong papers from the embassy (K1 papers) then got the right ones (lost about a month with that) but still got a really early interview ! I didn't think I'd be leaving France before September...

This morning I got my passport back !!! the Visa looks sooooooo good HEHE, I keep looking at it and still can't believe it!

I wish u good luck with ur interview Renatchi, I know urs is pretty soon too

Well everyone, here's another K3 filer from April '08 who's wife has her interview scheduled at the embassy in Prague. It will be 19 Aug. Say a prayer, keep your fingers crossed. Whatever works.

Just a reminder, here's what NOT to do when doing this process:

1. Don't give up. After your I-129F is approved and go to NVC don't be shy about calling them to check the status. I've done it constantly and found out many things I had to do. This was important because the USPS returned to NVC what was sent to me -- it can happen.

2. When it says in this website to do things in order, follow that. As soon as you have the I-134 and supporting paperwork ready send it (original) to your spouse/fiance for their embassy interview. Of course make that copy and email it to your spouse/fiance. In my case I waited and my wife's appointment came sooner than I had guessed, so it cost me $$$ to get it there in time.

3. The NVC is very helpful in most cases if you have changes to your paperwork. In my case my family name had been wrong and would be fixed at adjudication---but with more paperwork to file after I-129F I spoke with someone at NVC and was able to send copies of our passports with our correct names and that saved a lot of issues with I-134 and other paperwork.

Patience is more than a virtue, it's a requirement.

Cheers!

Well good luck to everyone with an interview coming up!!

My wife just had her interview on Thursday. Today we picked up her passport with the visa in it. We keep just looking at it in disbelief. We can't believe that she now has it.

Plus in our case. When everything was approved, I also followed the process with her I-130, and got that complete before her K3 interview, so her interview was changed to the CR1. So she has the CR1 Visa

We couldn't believe how easy the interview was.
