Great!

My Husband's interview was on the 19th and he was told he will get his Visa in a few days.
This is a really great forum, and you guys are really helpful and great.
A big and warm THANK YOU!!!

I totally understand. Just breathe a little. But it will be okay. You got all you need for your husbands interview? You know you are good to go now be confident and well the time will soon be here and I will be here ready to celebrate with you.

Be himself... answer what is asked, be specific, no explanation (I have a friend, even for a one liner answer is 2 page story) Please avoid it.
Listen to what is asked and asnwer (some people have tendency to answers even before the question is not finished).... Listen...
There is nothing gender specific, I have seen both sexes are getting visa, denied and case sent back to USCIS... So, it is case specific..
You know your case, red flags, better than anyone else... so ready to address those once asked.
Search on VJ to get the feel about what can be asked?
Good Luck.

It is not necessary and in some(most?) instances, the petitioner is not even allowed in the Embassy. I went to the interview with my then fiancee and was stuck waiting in the cold December rain in Ankara.

OMG you got it. Wooo whoo. See i had a place saved for you. Now I can plug in the date. So cool Welcome to the group.

I've heard in some places, they want letter from NVC that requests police certificate. Other places give the police certificate without question.

8 to 10 days to review and accept. Case Complerte. Than you are in interview queue.
Sure you may get a July interview not June. June has already been scheduled out. here are two people from the interview list from your country timelime. Hope this helps.
COMPLETE RECEIVED INTERVIEW

Yes you can.
When I was assembling my I-130, I registered for free at Shutterfly, http://www.shutterfly.com/kodakgallery/ where a new user can get 50 free prints of size 4" by 6" (of course you got to pay for shipping, but it's worth it).
Then, used a wordprocessing program, i.e. MS Word to create create two 4" by 6" rectangles on each page, at at the bottom of each rectangle, typed a description of the photo I would paste in that 4" by 6" rectangle space. Then i printed the pages, and pasted the photographs. I submitted 12 photographs.
I'm sure there are simpler ways, but I wanted to give the USCIS folks the best impression possible :-)

Getting the NVC case number can take 2 to 4 weeks.
Once you get NVC case number in the mail, you will also get (1) choice of agent form and (2) documentation on how to pay for AOS (Affidavit of Support) fee online
#1 Choice of Agent Form
Your wife probably got the choice of agent form. If not, scan in your copy, email it to her, have her print and fill out the form, designating YOU as the agent (you are in USA, it is better this way as mailing time is less), SIGN the form, and mail it to the address the National Visa Center gave. And don't panic if the form is out-dated, they will accept it (after all, they sent it to you)
#2 AOS fee
Go to the website they give you, log in with your NVC number and invoice number (which they will give you), provide your routing number and checking account number (if you are paying by checking account) to pay the $88 fee. They will provide you a cover sheet to print out and include on the very top of your AOS package. This coversheet has the NVC code and name of petitioner.
Once the AOS fee status say PAID, only then you should mail it in. It took me about a week for AOS to display PAID, even though my bank says it was immediate.
In the meantime gather photocopies of Federal taxes (include W-2 and 1099 forms), or request the IRS to give you Federal tax transcripts for the past three years (in this case, you don't need to include the W-2 and 1099, just send in the transripts).
Also, provide a letter from your employer stating your SS#, Name, Date of Hire, Salary. And also include the last six paystubs.
Even though I-864 (actually, I filed I-864 Ez) said that I only needed to provide last year Federal taxes and other info was optional, I provided everything (three years tax, proof of employment letter, last six paystubs).
It is better to provide more information and take your time doing things, than to send in your package, only for it to get delayed because NVC wants more info.
And you want to make your documentation easy to read, right after the Cover Sheet, you should write a cover letter stating the contents of your package. And I would buy tabs to label what is where, i.e. put a tab on the I-864, a tab on proof of employment, etc. I used something like this to hold my pages together,
Keep checking the online payment website for when they ask for IV fee, $230
Right now, I am in the process of having my hubby gather the appropriate documents from India
1. Notarized copy of birth certificate in English
2. Notarized copy of passport
3. Two identical passport photographs of him
4. Police letter (this he will get at the end, since they expire in 3 months, at least in India)
And I am also asking Hubby to check whether I filled out the DS-230 properly
Best of Luck, and God Bless You!

that is great if it is true, How do you know this??? I pray that you are right. I just sent my packet in a week ago and I am prepared in my mind to be waiting 8 to 10 months but hey if this is really happening YAHOOOOOOOOOO Lets pray your right......
