Got that sweet sweet mail from CRIS exactly 33 minutes ago, hell I was in a meeting when I got the mail, but as soon as I got back to my table, I was so so *#*@# scared to open the mail, I let my co-worker read it aloud for me

I know its kind of fast and I am scared as #### for the NVC process, my husband still hasn't got his tax transcripts and I still have to get other copies of my birth certificate.......gosh I am a nervous wreck right now.

This visa process has been fast for us compared to others, but we have waited for around 4 long years to come this far, just hope and pray the next phase would be smooth too.

Thank you all VJ members and I would also like to thank our lawyer too, do realise most of you all have complains with your lawyer, but we had a good thing going on, me and my husband didn't have a registered marriage certificate but things still worked out.

Best of luck to all of you :thumbs:

And now I can do my happy dancing and call up my dad to give him the good news :dance: :dance: :dance:

Great and Congratulations, Silent !!! Good luck to interview as well as NVC process :thumbs:

Congratulations first of all. Now I do not know what your lawyer did to get that petition approved without a registered marriage certificate and I do not mean to ruin the moment but we had a similar problem. We got married in london, England at a mosque and our marriage was not registered with the government. Out petiton got approved in about three months and later we found out that the embassy will not issue the visa because at the time we had submitted the petition, our marriage was not registered. The Visa section at the embassy told us to re-file the petition and here we are...going all the way to NVC and having only the DS-230 left for sumbission had to turn back and refile. Please check. Someone from India made us alarm too because their visa was denied because of the whole registration issue. I hope that doesn't happen to you.

Silent - I am glad things are going well. Advice to you - please record all communication between you and your husband. Also, your ask husband to get the marriage registration; you may need during interview.

I don't mean to scare you but slowly prepare yourself for the interview. In the mean time, have a beer or two...
