Case Complete to Interview July 2020

[KandR18 53]

Just got an expedite approval email from the NVC. Applied May 27th. 

 

Now we get to stress out about the fact that I mailed my husband documents for the interview and they're stuck in transit, and then getting a travel exemption. One step closer to being together thiugh and it feels great!

Congratulations. I sent a request 2 weeks ago for the same reason and also that I help take care of my mom but the embassy in Brazil denied it saying it would be unfair for those who are waiting for rescheduled interviews. Honestly I wanna send another request, but I don’t want to upset them either. 
ive been DQ since Feb..... we can’t take this anymore. We were almost there. 

It must be a Latin America thing. We sent and expedite request to NVC and  they answered this:

 

"Good Day:

 

Thank you for your patience. We sent your request to the U.S. Embassy in Bogota, Colombia. However, they cannot expedite this case. To be fair to all applicants, the Department of State schedules immigrant visa interviews in the order that the cases complete processing at the NVC.

 

We will continue to work with you on this case. After we receive and review the documents, we will schedule a visa interview appointment."

And I don’t get it, our case is complete. we are already DQ since April 21. Maybe it is a general response  because they don’t have to review any document.
 

We are thinking to send the email directly to the embassy but we don’t want them to get angry or something. We don’t know.

Has anyone tried to make an account etc ahead of your embassy letter? I found the Official U.S. VISA information and appointment services Website, and would like to look at the calendar but you need an account.

I can't even think straight. So upset.

Hello Hilde,

How annoying.

You received the DQ email, that is great and that is that matters.

Do like the NVC person told you over the phone: at the interview, bring all the proof necessary and if you have good evidence of solid income, there is no reason to worry.

Now, if you think your income is not sufficient, then yes get a sponsor and bring the proof at the itw.

Let us know,

Take care,

Alix

Hey David,

Yes, it really depends on the Embassy and who deals with your file. Treatment can defer so much from one case to another, it is great for those beneficiating from it but very frustrating for the others...

If I were you, I would definitely write a small message to your Embassy. It doesn't cost anything and I cannot imagine it will annoy them.

Good luck 😉

I know USCIS has nothing to do with the US embassies but I am praying that embassies will be opening up tomorrow 🥺🥺🥺

I thought about trying the same with Bogota, but our problem is going to be that even if they do accept, the international borders are closed until August 31st.    I don't think they'd give me an expedited interview anyway during the limited services, but the border makes it impossible.

We are also with Bogota embassy and I emailed them directly and only received an automated response basically saying everything already stated on their website.

Me!!! My husband is in Colombia and I am NY as well. I'm very concerned about them having closed their borders through end of August.. I was planning on attending the interview. I also have all the original documents needed for the interview, and you know how bad the postal system is there so I wouldn't want to mail them. I keep checking but the embassy has posted nothing about interviews yet. Do you think once they are granted the visa, they would be able to take one of the humanitarian flights here that Colombia is offering?

Great to know someone else in a similar situation as myself  - wheww!

I did not think of the humanitarian flights for our spouses... That would be great, if feasible! I see the Embassy is quite active on Instagram, twitter, etc. So, hopefully they'll be up and running soon.

I have thought of doing the same, but I find it unlikely that the embassy will expedite my interview.  Even if the borders are closed do you think Colombia would allow some sort of Travel exemption?

I don't think so.  But even getting an expedited interview would be great for you, because you can get the visa and travel immediately after the borders open.

 

David and I are both using the Bogota embassy as our home embassy because we're from Venezuela.  So, we are not currently in Colombia, making an expedited interview impossible.

 

Countries like the Philippines expedite at the NVC stage if you have a runny nose.  Bogota seems to be quite strict on expediting at the NVC stage, and I imagine will be the same for an expedited interview.  I doubt I would qualify anyway, regardless of the border situation.
