Hi everyone. After the longest 5.5 months of our lives, we received notice today that our petition was approved! :) Just wondering if anyone has any experiences to share about the process from here?? I understand the papers will be sent to Barbados and the interview will be scheduled by them. Any idea approximately how long before the interview may get scheduled? My fiance needs to travel from South America to Barbados, so we are just concerned about timing. Any info would be most welcome. Thanks for having this forum. I have really found solace here over the last few months.

First off.....CONGRATS!!!!

Second.... from what I understand, the NVC part of our journeys basically move along as fast as we make them move. You should have alread been reading this: http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/LingChe_NVC_ShortCut and following instructions. After an I-130 approval, you should wait about a week and then start calling the NVC to see if they have received your case and then get your number and give them your email addresses and so on.

So, if you haven't already, you have about a week to read the link I posted and follow it to a T.
