chumi 27 Posted July 14, 2014 Filed: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Country: Japan Timeline Share Posted July 14, 2014 That's a huge . However, if you're lucky, a supervisor may be able to unlock the IV fee for you. I think they are allowed to do it only in the event of someone making a mistake and re-submitting the DS-261. At least one person got lucky and got the IV fee invoice fast this way. I thought about re-submitting the DS-261 on purpose and ask a supervisor to unlock the IV fee invoice. However, most people on here have not been that lucky and ended up waiting for additional days. No IV invoice yet? You submitted DS261 on June 5 and.I did mine on June 6. I hope we will hear from NVC this week:) 30 business days this week right:D!?

I am worried what questions I have to face in interview. can anybody answer us pls..... Geez was typing and my message went poof, you can search for "interview questions" on VJ or Google and you will get tons. They are basically to see if you know your wife so when did you meet how many times where did you meet her, the wedding was her family and your family there, does your family know her does her family know you. Do you have children with her or has she been married before does she have children from her first marriage, have you been married same questions. They may want pictures, ok did a search on VJ here you go click on any of them. http://www.visajourney.com/search/index.php?cx=007424365766759747816%3Auy9flr-th5y&cof=FORID%3A10&q=interview+questions&sa=Search&siteurl=www.visajourney.com%2Fforums%2Findex.php%3Fapp%3Dforums%26module%3Dpost%26section%3Dpost%26do%3Dreply_post%26f%3D134%26t%3D503660%26qpid%3D7125991&ref=&ss= America, Give Me My Spouse/Fiancé ! https://www.youtube....O6dwPf8HqZBzjUA Help us make processing times at USCIS service centers fairer.http://helptsc.tumblr.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Married. 10-16-2011.
