Received my GC yesterday. Please check below for the final timeline POE: Seattle, WA on 20-September-2022

Hi, did you receive your card yet? Fees paid : September 12th 2022 POE(Seattle): September 20th 2022 Didnt receive SSN so went in person and applied for it, received the number yesterday. still waiting for an update on my physical green card.

Hi, How long did it take you to receive your second card from the date of visit to the SSA office?

I am in the similar position too. I entered the US on 20th and I will be starting my new job on October 10th. My employer is adamant on having my SSN ready before I start. I don’t know if I just have to walk into SSA office and apply for a new card.

I just received my passport. Interview on September 7th Status changed to Administrative Progressing same day Status changed to issued the next day. Passport was received today ( 12th September) Note: UPS doesn’t do deliveries on Saturdays. So I received it in 3 working days. I hope this information helps you guys. All the best everyone!

Yes the status changed to ‘issued’ today.

I took copies of everything I uploaded in NVC, I wanted to avoid 221g in all cases, I saw in few consulates people got 221g for bringing W2s. Documents I uploaded 1) Passport ( mine & My wife's) 2) Birth certificate ( mine & my wife's ) 3) Police certificate ( Germany & India ) 4) I-864 5) Tax transcripts 6) W2s and 1099s 7) My US B1/B2 visa 8 ) My German resident permit 9) My expired passport 10) My wife's lease agreement & Phone bill 11) Marriage certificate 12) Other ID cards ( just in case) 13) Proof of relationship ( Pictures, travel history and tickets), I took originals and copies of these documents and additionally i carried my Bachelors and masters degree certificates and my CV ( I read somewhere in this forum where an Indian applicant in Frankfurt was asked about his master thesis and a CV & since he didn't have that he was given 221g). Take everything, don't risk 221g. The wait is not worth.

First of all - Thanks to everyone who updated their timelines and experience in VJ. It helped me to prepare and complete the whole process in a breeze. To start with I had my medicals in Frankfurt on August 4th, 2022. I had an appointment at 10:00 am, Everything was good it took a total of 2 hours Step 1: Enter and get the number from the receptionist and move to the first floor. Step 2: Wait to be called and Submit the form, interview appointment letter and answer basic questions ( Medical history, chicken pox, etc). Get photographed and understand the next steps. Step 3: Go to the basement for blood, urine, and X-ray collection and come back to the first floor Step 4: Wait to be called for a personal medical checkup by the doctor: Checking vision, lymph nodes, reflex check, etc. Step 5: Asked for any pending vaccination and go to the basement for vaccination. In my case I didn’t have my Hepatitis B vaccine. Once the vaccination was done, the doctor said everything looks good and told me all the details are processed online she told me it would be sent to the consulate in 2 days. I mailed them on 6th August and they replied saying the details have reached the consulate. TIP: I paid around 450 euros. You can pay by card. Interview day September 7th, 8:00 am: From the experiences shared on this site, I knew the exact steps. Step 1: I reached the consulate by 7:30 am. My wife and I came to Frankfurt a day before ( yesterday Sept 6th) and stayed in the best western hotel which is right beside the consulate. Step 2: I carried only my wallet and my file to the consulate, there was already a line of around 15 people. It took 20 - 25 mins to reach the windows where they asked for my passport and gave the sticker and number and asked me to go to window 22 once I reach the main building. Step 3: I moved to the security check since I didn’t have any electronics, it was smooth, and moved to the main building. Step 4: I walked directly to window 22, there were only 3 Immigrant applicants before me. In Window 22, the officer asked for my passport, one photograph (2x2) with my full name written behind it, and my Visa delivery registration page. He asked me to wait in the lobby and told me my number would pop up on the screen with the window number. Step 5: I sat for 5-10 mins and my number popped up for a window the officer there took my biometrics, and personal details & collected my original documents - birth certificate, marriage certificate, police certificates, and my wife’s W2. He explained to me the next steps, explained about the visa and stuff. I wanted to change the address in the US and asked him if I can change it there. He got the new address and updated it in the system. Step 6: After the document collection, I was asked to wait in the lobby again for the interview. I was called in 5 mins to a window where an officer greeted me and asked me to take an oath that everything I say is true. She took my biometrics and confirmed my name, DOB, etc. She asked me basic questions like how did you meet your wife? How long do you guys know each other? Where does she live? Are you planning to move there? When are you moving there? She told everything looked good and that she will be approving my visa today. Fingers crossed everything should be fine. I entered at 7:45 am and was out by 8:45 am. Documents I prepared: 1) Original Birth certificate 2) Original marriage certificate 3) Photograph (2x2) 4) Police clearance certificate ( all the countries - in my case it’s India and Germany. 5) Passport 6) Appointment letter 7) Passport delivery registration. Other documents which I carried along 1) Tax transcripts 2021,2020 and 2019 2) W2 and 1099 for all these years 3) My wife’s passport copy 4) My wife’s birth certificate 5) All copies of the originals carried 6) My wife’s lease agreement 7) Our travel history and pictures 😎 Other documents. I hope I covered everything. Prepare and over-prepare the documents. Everything will be a breeze. All the best everyone! Quick Update: My visa status changed from Ready to Administrative Processing. I believe it’s normal process. I will keep this thread updated. Thank you.

For Frankfurt I believe you would be receiving you interview letter this week. i was DQed on July 6th and got my interview letter for September 7th on July 26th.

Hi Everyone, I just received the mail from NVC about my visa appointment. DQ date - July 6th 2022 Interview date - September 23rd 2022 Like @adventures said it's pretty late. I believe @BeaPad has also have their interview scheduled on September 16th. All the best everyone.

Congratulations! Thanks for rallying up everyone from FB groups to here.

Yes I can't select the date and only NVC can schedule the appointment but I could see the "First Available Appointment" only today. It might mean that the consulate has opened the available dates for scheduling?

Hi Everyone, When I logged into my cgi page ( Which we use to register our passport delivery preference) today I found a new section saying First available appointment date. Website: https://cgifederal.secure.force.com/applicanthome I have been logging into this site everyday and only today I found this section. I believe we should get something ASAP. I am sorry for spamming, I am just restless.

I just saw a K1 visa timeline from Netherlands. They had their case transferred to the consulate on 19th but could see the available interview days only today. They booked for September 6th. https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?id=408208 Hopefully some movement happens to CR1/IR1 cases this week.

This is our week! All of us should get our IL this week. All the best everyone. Fingers crossed.
