January 2015 Interviews

[dnp2014 44]

Just double checked. Yes i filled in my indian address in ds260!

Im based in punjab and my iv is ta new delhi

i think its not a big issue... just check with the issuing authority .. I think some of the districts in punjab already implemented computer record keeping..

Anybody knows if Kingston Jamaica is scheduling?

Haven't heard or seen anything yet. Have you called NVC?

[gsin123 2]

My wife's visa status changed from "Administrative Processing" to "Issued" last night. Does anyone know how to track where the visa is at or when it reaches the Visa Application Center for pickup? Her pickup location is the same city as the embassy. Thanks.

*** One post has been split into its own thread in the CR-1 Process forum, with title "Will My Absence Present a Problem at Interview? [split topic]." ***

[LoveMyTico 999]

Sorry this is me. I really am in the dark when it comes to waivers and such.

Now since the expedite was approved you say October 15th than that should mean it should be ay NVC or consulate for another interview right? Lord these people. Why they got to make things so hard. Like if you need a waiver why can't a waiver be filed with the dang petition and be approved same time like . Or is that too much like right.

Lord please let me run immigration at least USCIS and NVC they really need to be run TOGETHER in Tandem. This Lonewolf ####### got to stop now. Okay my vent is over. Thank you for listening.

I think I added too much information that confused the whole situation.. LOL

The waiver process is just like being stuck at the USCIS for the I-130. " the unknown"

I just really was wondering if you knew anything about who has access to the CEAC? Why all the updates if the USCIS is the one with the file? The waiver needs to be approved at the USCIS.

If the USCIS is communicating with the consulate then the consulate might be the one entering info into our case but the file doesn't go to the embassy until it gets approved... And we are still waiting for that.

You're right though, if you already know you need a waiver, why can't it be filed WITH the I-130?? Its bad enough he has to wait outside the country while it gets processed. That is why the provisional waivers boil my blood. So if you break the law and enter illegally, you get to stay and wait in the country while they process your waiver... But if you do things the right way, you get to spend 2 years away from your spouse while you follow the law and wait for the waiver to be processed... Does this make any sense??? This process is backwards.....

and I thought expedites were supposed to be processed within 15 days... Obviously I was misinformed. Or could it just be me??

So yea.... once the NSC approves our waiver, my husband has to go back to the embassy to continue his interview... He already got another police certificate and translation because we know they will need a new one. We were hoping to get back before Dec 17th so he doesn't have to pay for another medical..

OK, so I'm done ranting... Any info on the CEAC would be cool !!

Thanks for your response. I forgot how busy this thread gets. The waiver thread is dead and its full of people who are as clueless as me..

[allyinchicago 8]

my husband got denied a 2nd time for a permit allowing him to go to Jerusalem for his interview. soooo much stress just to GET to the interview. how unfair is this?

[dwheels76 5,463]

also,

the address on my P4 is my wife's U.S. address.

Shouldnt it be my indian address?

Whoever the agent was who I assume was the petitioner.

[R.S.K. MD 6]

Whoever the agent was who I assume was the petitioner.

yes i had appointed my wife as the agent in my ds-261!

i think its not a big issue... just check with the issuing authority .. I think some of the districts in punjab already implemented computer record keeping..

Thank you for your info!!

Interview on 1/21 for my spouse. Thanks for everyone's help. A special shout out to dwheels76. Good Luck to all. I saw someone mention about tracking documents to be sent by NVC to embassy. Where do you do that? Here?? - https://ceac.state.gov/IV/Login.aspx

Also, how long it takes for it to go to tracking after the receipt of interview letter.

Well I thought too it was State department (consulate/embassy) that updates the CEAC. Sometimes I don;t think they know what they doing. I mean if expedite is approved what else do they need to get an interview. For the love of God.

Sorry dear. As much as I love you and your knowledge around would rather kick you out the nest to the hubby and get you on your way. Alot of loving needs to get going on.

Oh no allyinchicago. I know nothing of these matters what can be done? Is this something that the state department can intervene? Your senator or something? I am really sorry about all this.

Still praying for a miracle.

so sorry did you try to change embassy like to Jordan, also get your local representatives involved. Best of luck.

Oh trust me. I would not be offended by getting kicked out of this nest... I need him here. Times are certainly tough right now. Obviously they agree with me since they approved the expedite...

Congratulations. Once you see ceac say IN- transit in about 3 to 5 days you can track DHL (its not an exact science) to the embassy.
