Merry Christmas everyone and have a very happy New Years!

Approved!!!

Our appointment was at 8:30 am. We arrived very early, at 7:30, for we hoped to get inside first to avoid the long waiting for the CO. But unfortunately, my name (the petitioner's) was not on the entry list, though I was promised by the email from the consulate, it would be there. So, the guards started calling the consular office to make sure I can be let in. While me and my husband were waiting for them, the other people from the line were checked in, so, we turned to be the last who entered the building. Be advised, that Tbilisi embassy is very strict regarding the stuff you can bring inside. No food, drinks, cosmetics, electronics or anything is allowed. I even had to throw away my sachets with anti-flu drink I bought the other day and left in my purse. So, you better don't bring anything but your papers to stay on the safe side.
Inside everything was verrry quiet! Almost 20 people were inside when we entered. Names were called through low-volume speakers and a small hall gave you the feeling you were at the church.
Documents were collected from my husband, and I was amazed and frustrated, that our notarized translations were not needed, though we paid a good amount of money for them here, and the Georgian interview instructions say, the translations have to be notarized. So, the translations I made myself and our friend signed for us were good - they were all from the NVC package I sent them. the originals were verified, but not all of them - the petitioner's divorce decrees were never asked for.
Basically NONE of the documents, we brought in, except the originals, were needed...8(((( My NVC package had all the evidence they wanted.
When my husband was invited to the CO, I approached the window with him, but I was asked to sit down immediately :-((( Thank God, the chairs are just 2 steps away from the window, and I could see and hear everything.

He was asked, where and how we met, where I work, where I live in the US, when I arrived in Georgia and if we live together here. What my son's name and age is. Some questions were repeated. Also he was asked about his father, who also immigrated in the US 11 years ago, and about his next of keen he has in Georgia.
There happened a little mashup too - the CO was looking at my husband's divorce decree, which said that marriage was concluded in 2010, and at the same time he was asking him about our marriage, which was concluded in 2015. So, his impression was that my husband was lying or didn't know something))) Then he figured out his mistake and apologized.
The entire conversation lasted 15 minutes. When I saw my husband's passport being taken away into a yellow paper folder, my heart sank joyfully - "approved"???
Then I saw some paper being handed to my husband, which did not look like form 221)))) and it gave me a little more hope. Then finally he walked away from the window with a shiny face and I asked him - is it yes? Yes, approved, he said, and the passport can be picked up in 3 days.

We saw another spousal visa interview - a young girl - it was approved. And another one - of a man in his 50s, who was denied. My husband, who was listening to the conversation, said, the guy did not know anything about his wife's previous marriages.

After entering the embassy at 8:40, we left it a 10 am, giggling nervously))) we are done with this important step, thank God!

congrats to all those people who got their dates and to all those upcoming.

Wow, Congrats to you Mizike, i am hoping that i should get mine this week though, as i am wishing for a todayecember interview, i did call today though and the rep told me it will be reviewed today...... and its my 30th day today so he says....

Congrats Mizike!!!! That's awesome news! You're one of the lucky ones (referring to that supervisor review). Hopefully I'm next!!
Good luck in getting a December interview! Fingers crossed!

Hello elliotrick23,
I just got my case complete today. My scan date was Oct. 13th, so 34 days. A couple of us around my scan date has taken longer than the 30 days so don't be surprised if it goes to next week. But good thing was no checklists or RFE's
Just to add, I called on the 30th day and the rep told me that it was going to go under supervisors review that same day. It took a little longer (6 days) but at least not the mandated 42 days.
Best of luck to you!

My supervisor review took less than 5 days. A number of persons here took just about the same time to get reviewed

Not at all. Its good to have realistic expectations
I'll definitely call later tonight...thanks again!

wait time was not so bad either
well, spoke to a very nice service rep named valerie and said today was actually the 30th day. she said no matter, she'll put it under supervisor's review and have it reviewed today. whether thats true or not, we'll see.
no mention of the new 30 to 45 day window.
i'll post back later.
thanks for all the replies and best of luck to all.

I believe all of these fields are fields that update automatically on the form. But I believe they need JavaScript enabled to work which Acrobat might disable by default recently.
But for me those fields filled out automatically based on answers to other questions. Except for 2 /2c that one I think will enable when you click one of the check boxes for Apt, Ste or Flr.
