Hey Shariati,

Hi All - Had my interview at the US Embassy in Islamabad yesterday for FB-1, & was approved. Just checked today and the status of CEAC is issued. Consular officer did tell me that I should have my passport with the visa by this Friday. Just waiting on my passport and then will finally GO BACK HOME AFTER 10 LONG YEARS!!

Interview Questions:

1. Who is your petitioner & their DOB?

Answer: My Mom and her DOB is: xx-xx-xxxx

2. What will you do when you get to the States?

Answer: I will work for XXX company & here is my offer letter for X position with an annual salary of $ XX.

Officer: Excellent, you already have a job waiting for you, I like it! You've been approved and will get your passport back by Friday with the visa. I can see from your file that you left the USA in 2005 and well it's 2015 and it's about time you get to go back home, this time Legally! Congratulations!

That was it, interview did lost last for more than 5 minutes!

Super Excited!!!

My son had his interview on September 2 in Kyiv, Ukraine. He had his medical on September, 1. Everything was very smooth. The most important thing is to follow interview letter instructions and bring all documents required. That's all what they need. They had simple friendly talk with my son and I was present. They also fingerprinted him. His visa was granted. I wish you all the best and very fast movement in visa bulletin so you all will not have to wait eight years as we did.

Not sure what to think of them accepting documents that far in advance.

The ability to file to adjust and get an EAD/AP before the PD becomes current is huge.

Right now a person has to have a current PD to file. Starting October, a person without a current PD can file to adjust while waiting for the PD to become current.

My niece is in the F2b category with a May 2010 PD. Since she is in VN, she has to wait for a current PD to get an immigration visa under the old and new rules. If she was in the U.S. on a non-immigrant visa, she can not adjust status and get an EAD/AP card until her PD becomes current. Under the new rule, she can file to adjust and get the EAD/AP card without a current PD.

This is fantastic for those who can get here on non-immigrant visas. Unfortunately, I think more people will go after visitor visas with the intent to be in the U.S. so they can file to adjust and shorten their wait.
