did you guys try with a different bowser? safari , mozilla, chrome etc?

for eg everyone recommended to use mozilla firefox but for me it didn't work , the session was timed out before even filling in a row , so i did it with no interruption with safari..

i don't know , i am just suggesting...

Thank you! We tried a few different ones. Thankfully once we actually submitted it, it worked!!

Finally Approved! 1 week shy of 6 months. Not sure if it was my service request ticket submitted last Friday or not that did the trick or the fact that I was almost at 6 months.

Congratulations!!!! Finally! :jest:

Happy for you. This approvals are such a relief. 

Wish you speedy and super easy the rest of the process.

They really have to wait outside. There's a few bench and you can also rent a chairbfor 15 pesos in a nearby store. Gosh business is really something there! Hahaha I started lining up at 4 am and my mama was with me but when i got inside the building i told her to just go to the hotel where we are staying. I dont want her to wait outside for long hours. We stayed in Casa Bocobo which is just near. I think Ann and her mama should also stay there. 

What time have u arrived at SLEC?

On the I-134, does the signature need to be hand written? Or can it be the petitioners full name typed? 

Edit: Never mind, just seen on the instructions it says 'For all signatures on this affidavit, USCIS will not accept a stamped or typewritten name in place of a signature ' ...... Damn <_<

Question for the Canadians who have been to the consulate - if I have a rolling laptop bag with me, will I be able to take it in, or will they check it in for me, or can I just not bring it at all? @gob332 @PR&PR @calahjosh931 @eastcoastgroove

I am not 100% sure on this as she didn't have a bag either, but my feeling is that you wouldnt be able to bring a bag in that large.

I have taken a break from VJ for a bit, but it's so nice to come back and see all the progress everyone is making!

 

I finally heard back from the embassy and they scheduled our interview for the end of this month. WOOHOO almost there.

 

Just a quick question... I know my fiancé hasn't submitted any packets or forms for the interview yet but he is doing so next week... is it odd that the embassy has already scheduled the interview prior to me paying the fee or doing any of the packets?I am happy that we have a set date but I just want to make sure it isn't suspicious :ph34r::whistle:

 

Congratulations to all the love birds! I can't wait to be with my love again...

Every country has a different way of going through the process... you didn't send anything in from packet 3, like the checklist and the barcode from the DS or copy of passport? Congrats on interview date etc!

No, all I sent was an email asking if they had received my packet from NVC because it had been approximately 10 days of "In Transit". And they replied with a detailed email about the interview and the packets and everything I will need. They also had the set date.

 

Thanks so much, and congratulations on your approval!

Well, guys, we've got not really good news today. 

Called NVC to figure out why we are still "at NVC" status. 

 

Our case is undergoing through administrative procedures. They are unable to give a time frame. And we have to wait until they'll notify us via email for further instructions once it is released. No further information can be obtained during this time. 

 

We will call again tomorrow and the day after tomorrow and so on and so far. This is the only thing we can do now for only God knows how long.

I'm not even upset or frustrated, I guess lost is the only word that is more appropriate.
