Let's hope these cases will be finished outta this month. At least 2 months movement NVC, what we needed now after 7 miserable months in last year.
Guys please let us know if anyone of you receive IL. Wish you all the best of luck

To all those still waiting for interview letters I really hope the visa bulletin has a huge jump this month. But keep being patient and your turn will come soon!!! I know the waiting can be difficult but it will come to an end.

I pray we all get iL's by Sept VB. Let's keep our hopes high cos with God anything is possible.

Wrong, Elsie. The fact that he has a pending immigrant visa being processed by NVC belies any proof of strong ties to home country. I'm speaking from experience.

Congrats Kodiak, finally it's your turn now. I am still waiting.... 3 weeks moving at least. Hopefully more people will receive the ILs soon.

Hey everyone!
Got my interview for January 8th!

Hi everyone! Hope everyone is doing ok?
Hoping to hear good news re interview letters this week.
I checked the PD list and there aren't many on here with Dec 06 / Jan 07 dates...

No one with a Feb PD at all! As javisakid pointed out, there are probably many who don't know about this forum, however I still hope we have good movement; and more than the 3-5 weeks predicted.



My family in the US has been telling me all about their plans for Thanksgiving this Thursday...I hope all our VJ family who have made it stateside recently have a great day!

Yes, it's very frustrating.
I'd be surprised if they let F2b advance ahead of F1 though. I hope they would be able to reallocate some of those visas to F1 if it got to that point...is that even possible?? Citizenship has always been flaunted as the quickest way to petition your family so they'd have a lot of very unhappy citizens to making a stink otherwise.

The visa that was stamped in your passport at the border is the legal equivalent of a green card, allowing you to do all the things the actual card itself would allow you to do. It's like an interim green card. So if you travel to Canada you will have absolutely no problems reentering. Regarding you not getting your actual green card yet, simply call the USCIS.

Ils should start rolling in any moment from now... Cant wait to start seeing 07

Finally javisakid,,,,Congratules!!!!!

True, but have their lives really been any better for it? Yes, they've been IN America, but they haven't been able to move freely or go back home to visit friends and family, for wedding and funerals etc.
They've probably had to take poorly paid "cash in hand" jobs.
The constant looking over your shoulder in case immigration is there...not for me!
Although the process is slow, we still have an advantage over many, many people who would love to start a new life in the US but will never have the opportunity to do so.

With one paragraph, you've nicely summarised how I feel about the last seven years of my life. A little comfort, at least, to know someone else knows and shares exactly how I've been feeling.
Also: "rubbish" is so typical Brit-speak, of course. I love it!

You're probably right but that's a really rubbish policy. Who can I complain to??!!
Ain't that the truth!
That would also be rubbish. You'd think they'd want to encourage more PR's to naturalize, by giving priority to USC.
Ugh, I'm just venting because I'm tired of the waiting already . I feel like my life is on hold while I'm going through this process. I don't want to commit to anything (or anyone!) because I don't know how long I'll be around. I know it's the same for most everyone, but knowing that doesn't make it any easier!
B

I have this wild thought that they are trying to eventually make F1 and F2B have the same cutoff date. I think that in that new proposed law they want to make both, F1 and F2B, similar to immediate relatives or something like that. But again, that's just a wild guess.
Hopefully it will move more than that! Last bulletin it only moved two weeks, but they also started sending letters very late. This time they started early and that's often a good sign.

I have realized that the more you try to understand the process is the more confusing it is.

Congrats!!! :-) :-) :-)

I got it!!!!! Pd 28.09 - 01.10 !!! ))) I can't believe it!!!

Interview experience
I arrived at the embassy to see lines that were created based on time, my appointment was scheduled for 8:30am so naturally I joined the 8:30 am line.
We were instructed to take out our appointment letters, two photos and write our full names on the back of the photos. I did what I was told and the first page of my Il was checked,marked, separated from the rest of the document and given back to me.
I entered the embassy in a line we were instructed to take off belts and remove metals from our person. I did what I was told and entered the courtyard where there were people waiting ahead of me I sat in the next available chair and within 10mins of sitting I was instructed to join a line on the inside.
When it was my time to be processed in the line the lady took the first page of my IL, gave me a number and instructed me to go through a door and sit on the extreme right "A section". I did what I was told.
My number was called and I was asked to provide my medical, police cert and 2 pictures, note no tax cert or non-imped! I gave her the requested documents and then she gave me a ticket with 8:30am on it and was instructed to have a seat and wait to be called for my interview.
After a ka-billion years of waiting and midway falling asleep I heard my name being called to report to counter number. I did what I was told and the interviewer asked me the following questions.
Who is your petitioner?
What do you do for a living?
I signed some documents.
He then asked for my passport and the copy of the DHL reservation.
And that was it I was approved! Yeah
Thanks all for making this process a less difficult one. I look forward to reading daily post kinda like how I look forward to my breakefast. Thanks a million to West for creating this group and all the followers that make this thread a blazing success.
I wish that all that are waiting get through as soon as possible and you can be assured that I will be here with you all.
Take care my VJ family
