Hi guys,

For those of us who are waiting for the interviews in Abu Dhabi, and waiting for over 90 days, clarification would be appreciated. By looking at this sheet, the interview in AD was scheduled very fast (NBA16), while others take 5 months!! Was this case expedited???

 

Thanks a million. 

Hello, no our case wasn't expedited but we waited long time for NOA2 (259 days) so maybe that helped. 

It was so unexpected for us to get interview date 15 days after CC, we even planned a trip so I had to take 2 trips one after another 

Wish you luck on your journey

We received the passport back yesterday!  

 

Just wondering - has anyone looked into the Obamacare requirements?  I read somewhere that requirements start the day you set foot on US soil.  On their official website, they state that it starts the first full month you have resided in the United States (for immigrants).  There also seems to be an exemption for maximum of two months of non-coverage.  

 

My husband is planning on traveling here November 18th.  

 

Question:

  • If his bank offers 31 days of travel insurance including emergency medicals - does this satisfy the requirement?
  • Does he even need coverage?  He'll either have a job by January or I'll add him to my plan during open enrollment for 2018 which is only 1.5 months after he lands which seems to fit under the continuous 2 month max exemption.

Tried looking through the forums and there were different situations.  Seems like most just opted not to get insurance and pay the fine.  Any thoughts or would anyone care to share their insight and experience?

Sure will keep you posted. 

 

Out of curiosity, when did you file your application with USCIS? Your timeline in your signature mentions 2011/2012 so that confused me.

Ahhh this time line was created when i was naturalizing and need to fix it just didnt have time. I filed in March 2016 my hubby got approved in October 2016. With all the NVC filing final CC was May 2017. I left to US so i can get a job and be domiciled and now we are separated for 4 months coz of the delay at the embassy. So annoying coz the process was relatively smooth just this part.

Here's my review!

 

Had my interview today 
And it was approved!

Got to the embassy 6am for my 6:45am appointment. At about 6:20am, an officer came to address the crowd and asked the immigrant visa applicants for 6:30, 6:45 and 7am to form a queue with our appointment letter, after that, he asked that our sealed medical reports be opened  then we were asked to come in to be checked. Once cleared we moved toward the guy that assigns number, he confirms your name on the appointment list and then ask you to go towards the door to move to the next stage.

 

We had one more security check before getting into the embassy building.
I got in at about 7:10am and then joined another queue. Waited for about 10mins then it was my turn, so I went to the window.

 

The guy smiled and said good morning, and I responded with a smile also. Then he asked for my appointment letter , after handing that over to him, he asked me to bring out my original certificates ( birth, marriage and police ) and then left to fetch my file. Came back checked the originals, and then returned them back to me, but held on to the original police certificate. He then asked for my passport n two passport photograph. After handing that over, he returned the pictures my husband sent with the application and returned copies of the certificates also. He then asked me to go and that I'd be called soon...

 

Another wait began.......
After waiting for about 20mins. My name was called to come for finger prints. Did that and went back to my seat.

About 5mins later, 
The CO called my number, 
Walked up to her and she also greeted me with a smile.
And asked me to raise my right hand then she said "you swear that everything in the file is true and correct" and I responded yes. And she was like, then, let's begin but first, I'd need to confirm your prints again. We did that, then the interview started.

 

Who is calling you to the US?
How did you meet?
When?..... Month n year
Why did you marry in Dec.
What type of marriage did you have?
Do you have your wedding pictures here?
May I see them?
So what does your husband do?
Name of the company?
Where is it located?
How often do you speak?
What's the time difference ?
Either of you been married before?
Do you have kids?
Where do you live and have you lived any where else?

And then she smiled and said visa approved.
And gave me 3papers
1. Immigrant visa fee
2. Visa collection address
3.pamphlet that states my rights n all as a spouse of a US citizen.

And I was done!


In all it was a good experience...
And it seems the COs today were in a really good mood, everyone before me got approved! Except for an elderly woman and its because she didn't have her medical reports yet.

awesome! So glad it worked out well for you!! Now you just wait for the visa and your POE!!! Woo hoo!! :)
