Thank you so much, I got approved!:jest:

The questions I've been asked:

- Where lives your mom?

- What do I plan to do there? study or work?

- When I plan to go there?

- Where I gonna stay? Will I live with my mom?

- Why I want to go to live there?

And then explained, that when i'll receive a GC, if i'll overstay for more than a year in some other country, it'll become invalid and asked to come on Thursday to pick up documents:)

I'm soo happy, that finally it's over and wish you good luck guys too:)

Congrats Lain

Thank you Tracy-->NY. I have a question for you. When you receive a GC, does it have term? Is it temporary like for 2 years? Or term is for 10 years?

For FB1 visa the green card you will get will be for 10 years, which is also the length of time of green card for beneficiary child(ren).  In 90 days before 5 years you can apply for citizenship for yourself (and child(ren) if applicable), once you have been in the US for at least 1/2 of that 5 year time, which to be on the safe side should be at least 6 months per year as I learnt from my mother experience when she was applying for citizenship.

Two year conditional green cards are for spouses who enter the US before their two year wedding anniversary.

Good luck for your interview, even if you know, that all is well, but it's still nerve-wracking, like before exam. Glad, that it's over:D

1.When was your case completed?

 

2.I got mine case complete letter a week after I called NVC to ask of the current status of my case and it was confirmed by the rep who answered the call at the NVC... Called on 20th March 2017 and received a confirmation letter on 27tg march 2017 via email.

 

3. it is necessary you get case completion letter from the NVC via email so will advise you call them and ask when yours will be posted if only the case is completed.
