I never trusted mygcvisa.com. The predictions are always just predictions. They usually assume a 4 week average movement. At the very least 4 weeks would be nice every month. It's better than most oth

Im still waiting for my case to complete…. i patiently waited for 30 days since i submitted my ds260. Nothing yet! Its so frustrating when your priority date is current and you cant do ANYTHING! :'( Called NVC a week back and all the agent said was that yea we are experiencing some delays.. :/ i dont know how many times we have to go through the "delays"!!!
after 2 days of trying to call NVC..i just got through today and the guy said that because of the technical issues with the website in the last few months, most of the people who submitted their ds260 right after are having their ds 260 reviewed..and since there was a pool of people, its taking time. So i have no option bt to wait even more :(

Hi guys! here is my experience at the visa interview:


We got up at 4:00 AM (my wife and I), prepare two separate packages. One containing all civil documents, Affidavit of the petitioner and the co-sponsor, letter of interview, medical results sealed envelop, and passport photos. In another package, I took the test of our relationship such as receipts, printed emails, photos, ect.


Once inside the Embassy, headed in the second gate, where a girl gave us a number and it told us that we should wait in chairs separated by a tape, I guess that they separate visa applicants from non immigrant and the immigrant.


Last 1: 30 hours, a girl we call by our number and we get closer to the window where asked me for my passport and all the documents that we have, as I decided to go with my wife, she asked us both and after viewing the documentation you asked this:


What is the address where you live your wife?

With that often travels to Nicaragua?

Do you have children?

How they met and the date they met?

Have you ever traveled once to United States?

What you phone number from the home of his wife?


Then reviewed the legal documents and I noticed that it reviewed the photos of our wedding, I offered him more photos as evidence and accepted them, after reviewing told us, take I return these documents since we don't need them, then after 3 minutes of silence and while she write in her computer she told us lets sit and waiting for the call voice of the consular officer for the interview.


After 5 minutes to hear my name on a speaker and I went with my wife and we get closer to the window, where he was an older man and told us "Good days" reply "good morning"


Could you tell me:

Where does your wife live?

Where met it?

Tell me what is the date of your marriage?

Do you have children?


After 6 seconds silence, said: "congratulations your visa has been approved, here are instructions for removing your Passport, good morning"


After that I felt a respite and calm in my that everything had ended.


Thank you for everything.

Congrats!, did they ask for you and your wife to be in the interview? My mom is my petitioner but she won't be able to go with me to the interview I wonder if that will affect my interview?

Since she is your mom they will probably not deny your visa unless you have some trouble with the law. It is not necessary for her to go with you since the truth of the matter is that she is your mom and you don't have to prove a relationship with her as long as it shows she is your mom in your birth certificate.
