You should never book tickets before you have the  visa is in hand. There is quite a number of things that can go wrong.

No.  I think that is very optimistic.  Do you have CFO complete?

Nope.

 

 

Interview isn't ISSUED, and it can be a few days to a couple weeks before seeing that.   After ISSUED status it can be 5-10 more days before the visa package is delivered.

 

Did you complete CFO?

I agree that that time frame is shaky.  It could take several days for the consulate to issue the visa....then a week to deliver it.....then there could be a problem with the visa itself........best advice is to book flights only after visa is in hand and checked......good luck.

we could all tell you what you want to hear, but then you will get mad when it doesn't happen.

 

fair to say you could have likely made a costly mistake in booking tickets when you don't have the visa in hand.

 

and you havn't even had the interview to say APPROVED.

 

not sure why people seem to believe that immigration is a cut and dry, that you no matter what will be approved, when stranger things have happened.

Agree with everyone else. Our interview was March 25. We received a 221g after docs were sent. Our passport arrived on April 27. Our CFO is June 10 because there is no slots available before then. 

Romans 8:28 - And we know that all things work together for the good of those who love God: those who are called according to His purpose.
Hebrews 11:6 - And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.

Agree with everyone.  Timeline seems very tight.  I even waited to book tickets after visa in hand.  Found out after there was an issue with one of the K2 visas, so we had to go back to the embassy to get it fixed.  There are plenty of one way ticket opportunities, that are a couple of days out, that aren't much more expensive than buying weeks ahead of time.  As for your title, MOA seems to be the best option for pick up.
