October 2015 Interviews

lol no, they're just so busy taking money from people applying for tourist visas and updating their facebook page about "educational opportunities" in the US.

Haaa, yes, that and playing Cookie Jam.

This morning my 16 year old son told me he's 100% certain he could run the embassy more efficiently from our backyard workshop than the people currently in charge.

Ya know what? I think he's actually right!

[Gorkhali 213]

If nvc / uscis hires 25% of the vj members who knows about process in details , most of the process will be smooth and more happy couples will be united

Folks here should try and apply for jobs at nvc / USCIS

ha, put him in charge! I swear, even USC services at the Cairo embassy require getting appointments a whole month or more in advance (I've had to do it 4 times)!

[WAELMOHAMED 1]

Anyone has any idea how long does it take for an expedite request to be reviewed and decision made?

Honestly, it should be a requirement that everyone who works in USCIS, NVC and embassies has either been an applicant or a petitioner in an immigrant process. Who else hires someone who has no personal experience in the field they're applying for?

[Gorkhali 213]

Apparently nvc / USCIS does

Jumping ahead of myself here..Next month is the interview and I do not forsee a problem as my wife was here for 5.5 months in the USA on a B-1/B-2 visa while we waited for the I-130 to process..So she already was in the USA for under 6 months...On the DS-260 on page 6 down towards the bottom there is a section called Social Security Information..[Do you want the social security administration to issue a social security number and card]..We said YES.. When does she receive this ? After she arrives in the USA or at the interview? also do I need to file the I-765 Application for Employment Authorization ? Or is that only for the I-129F ???

POE passport stamp\GC is her authorization to work. Or is that only for the I-129F ???

Kudos to her for doing the right thing by returning home and awaiting CP!

Green card holders and conditional residents don't need EAD to work. Proof of your green card is proof of work authorization.

Speaking of I-129F holders needing EAD, I have 3 friends whose fiancées came to the USA in March 2014, at the same time mine did. They were expecting that it would only take about 3 months to get their EAD after submitting their AOS package and payment, but all 3 of them have only just got their EAD's in the past few months! These guys waited over a year for the ability to take a job.

Thank you for the reply.. It hurt to send her home 5 weeks ago after living together for almost 6 months.. She made alot of friends here in that time...But we wanted to do everything by the book..Hopefully she will be back 2 weeks after the interview. I will wait till she has the visa in hand before I buy her return ticket....

I have received P4 letter on 9/15 and CC 03/30/2015, one of the documents required is custody papers. Anyone familiar with custody papers. Any help will be appreciated.

Smart move. I think the embassies you know only have so much space and I know they don't send petitions usually more than 30 days out . But I have seen them get case-files 2 and 1 week prior. Let me tell you a secret. That's an indicator of good things.

Remember USCIS has reviewed and approved you but they also make notes. Lets say you were approved but they noted, *Not sure if their ex is still around". It would require further investigation and your case-file would need to get to embassy sooner than a cut and dry case that will take like 2 minutes. Remember the decision is already made before you go up to the window.

Of course case-files do get lost and NVC does send out late as we saw with our dear sis here from Tunisia. So I also could be full of BS. LOL

Lol! It's funny you said that dwheels76 as I just check our status on the CEAC website tonight and it shows "In Transit". I Tried to locate our case package on the DHL website, but came up with nothing. Is it possible that our case file is still at the NVC?
