48414210_10155807016083414_4767203816393

Husband was freaking out thinking that we failed our interview.... I think he misread the 1st and last 2 sentences....... The Russian embassy is currently closed since Christmas or so till January 9th..... So that is like 2 weeks of holidays. 
I had to call him to calm him down, he was drunk and extremely depressed. He was hoping there would have been a visa so that he could surprise me for New Years. For Tax reasons we were going to wait till after the New Year so I could claim him on 2018 and addmend 2017 taxes.

 

I-130 CR1 Timeline  Visa has been issued!!!!!! = ^.^= YAY!

This is true actually. When you call NVC they will tell you Embassy schedule dates based on First come First Serve after Case completed at NVC but in reality, they schedule dates based on I-130 priority dates. Even if you log in to CEAC website it says priority dates on the top right corner. I called NVC last week, and the rep told me that MUMBAI consulate is scheduling dates for February.  

Good to hear they've started scheduling for Feb. I have a CC date of Nov 29th, and have been waiting on the Mumbai consulate to schedule soon as well!

Hi guys, any EB2 petitioner waiting for an interview? My case was completed on November 29th, 2018 and I am waiting for my interview to be scheduled in Brazil. Just wondering around how long I should expect to wait for it. Good luck to everybody!

It truly depends on your embassy. For me it took 1 month to get interview date, others just a few days, others two months...

Thank you for your reply. Actually, having read the commentaries on this forum and checking a few cases on the spreadsheet, I realized employment-based cases, like my EB2, take way more time to have an interview scheduled than family-based cases. Anyway, hoping everybody may have good news soon.

My husband had his interview yesterday in Warsaw Poland, and he was approved! I attended the interview with him as did our two young children. I was really hesitant about taking kids (age 4 and 6) to the embassy but in the end it was worth it because we were taken to the front of the outside the embassy when we were waiting to get in and go to security. We were able to skip a queue of about 25 people. They were super relaxed in the embassy. Way different than I was anticipating! We were in and out with out within an hour and 15 minutes!

 

PD: Dec 1, 2017

NO2: May 23, 2018

CC: Nov 8, 2018

Interview Jan 3rd

 

Good Luck everyone!

I'm sorry that it happened to you.   Do you have idea why they put your husband on AP?  Did he have a specific  education or job?
