VNBCI130

Thanks for your reply..... that is fine but we booked tickets for 18th Oct.. so we are little worried about that ..

Oh no! I hope you get it before that .

1.Anybody know how long will it take after submitting 221(g) requested documents and passport to VFS??

2.When submitting documents at VFS the staff said "you will receive your passport within 4 days". Anybody have recent experience with VFS?

Interview conclusion:

In interview CO said everything is good they need that one document for clear me. And he said "you no need to come for interview again just that required document and passport submit to dropbox".

I have heard once consulate gets your docs from VFS, it takes roughly a week for them to process. So hopefully you will see your status change online to Issued by the end of next week. Good luck!

So I am completely freaking out VJ'ers and I am requesting for someone to please respond to this post. I attended my fiance's interview in Delhi on Sept 19 and the visa was approved immediately. I have been checking online since for a status update... the CEAC website now says that the case is under ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSING. I then called the Visa line and the man on the phone asked me if my fiance received any paperwork requesting to submit additional documents and i said no. He then said it is under administrative processing (same thing as the website). I am really concerned because they say it can take up to 60 days under AP. Has anyone else experienced this? It's been over 2 weeks since the interview and now all of a sudden it's under AP. Please advise guys - I am losing my mind here

Hi I messaged you on other thread too.

Can you let me know how your online status changed since sep 19?

it says status update: 9/29/14...

Hi - I am in a similar situation. Wife attended interview on oct 1 and since then three have been no updates. It says ready. Did you get the passport back with visa in it?

Congratulations! Happy to see you near the end of the journey!

Thank you!! And very good luck to you in advance for your interview . Our ceac status still says "Ready" although the date changed from Oct 1 to OCt 7. Strange how some people who had interview on the 1st and this morning already had theirs issued right away and ours say "Ready". I am just hoping it will be issued before the end of the week . Keeping my fingers crossed.

my husband's visa has been approved. yay!

and thank you guys. esp to dwheels76

Congrats!!!

Congratulations. It will go from Ready to Administration Processing to Issued. So yes normal.

Great thank you!

The only thing that concerns me is that most of who went for interview already saw AP or Issued as their status except few. Also saw couple of random people who status has been "Ready" since their date of interview back in September.

Wifey's visa has been approved! Interview was barely couple of minutes. Was asked basic questions and didn't ask for any further documentations during or after the interview. . She was given immigrant fee form (to pay $165) before departure at the end and was told the passport would be shipped in about a week.

Her online status still shows "Ready" but was updated this morning. Some people who had the interview the same day, got either Admin Processing or Issued as the status the same day. Ours still says ready, Is this common? A bit worried.

Me too still waiting for interview letter

Very discouraging

Still no interview letter, anyone else is waiting?

Did you get your interview letter email? Did they allow you to schedule a medical without the letter?

thanks

I still have not received interview email yet. It would have to be either today or tomorrow.

Got interview date on Friday and I have yet to receive official email from NVC. Did anyone else who got interview date on Friday got the interview letter?

hey guys just want to let you guys know I just rec'd the email for interview appointment....so check your email... yours should come soon..

I am still waiting to get a letter. At what time did you get it?

Quick, buy a lottery ticket!

Haha yes! I hope you get CC soon and an October interview

Congratulations. I have updated you on spreadsheet.

This is truly good news Tuesday.

That would be perfrect, thank you!!

October 1st for us!!

My wife's visa status switched to Issued today.

Congrats! That was quick

After one week received Case complete letter, still waiting for the interview date to be scheduled..

You are not the only one. They have not started October round yet. I am guessing because of the long weekend. So next week would be the one.

I called earlier today and was told they will not schedule anything this week . Hope she was wrong. They have always scheduled before the month end for the past 5 months or so, I believe. It does not make sense.

This has been debated on VJ many times, very thoroughly. What it comes down to is intent. If you enter the US saying you're a tourist and will return home, but actually intend to settle in the US and adjust status, that's visa fraud. If you entered the US legitimately as a tourist and at some point afterward decide you don't want to go home, you can file for adjustment of status.

Almost fell off the chair reading this

If that is true then wouldn't everyone plan to enter as "a tourist" and then get married here after few months & apply for adjustment of status?

First of all, congratulations!

I hope she said Wisconsin because it is the home of the greatest football team that has ever played the game: The mighty Green Bay Packers. That and string cheese, yo.

You often hear about immigration officers asking people why they didn't just go in on a tourist visa and adjust status. I hope they never ask me that because I would probably lose my ######.

Wait so are you saying that coming to US on tourist visa after marriage & then applying for adjustment of status is legal?

Just called & they have not started scheduling for October yet. I was told it would be next week. But historically they have always scheduled in the last week of every month. So I am hopeful for tomorrow

Ohh.. ok.. I was wondering if only mine is not done.We have had a pretty bad luck with any quick developments. You see we sent in our applications of i130 way back in April 2013. Almost 6 months before even you had. And the USCIS took forever, and now at NVC since Jan 2014. That is why its pretty frustrating to know it has taken us 6 months more that usual

I am sorry to hear you have been waiting for so long but it is almost over now! You will be done in very soon. Call tonight or tomorrow to check if they scheduled your interview. I will do the same and let you know if they scheduled mine. Good luck!!

Hi, my CC date was 14th Aug, and got an email on 21st Aug. Yes, I am at Bombay consulate. Called NVC again, and they told they are still waiting on an interview date. Why is it taking them so long I am really getting too restless now.

Hang tight, you and I have same exact CC date & consulate!

We should hear something this week. Most likely today or tomorrow.

I believe it's usually Wednesday and/or Thursday more or less every other week... So they should get started with October in 2 or 3 days. Good luck!

Got you, thanks! You are pretty close to CC too so you will make it to October round as well

Any ideas when they start October scheduling? It should definitely be this week but I thought it starts around 25/26th of every month?

Hey count us in too 8-18. so 4

Counted you in, we are 4!

congrats!!! you and I have similar timeline almost same lol...and same CC...

Me too on Aug 18th and still no email reg CC

We should all hear something before the end of this week. More like Wed-Thurs I think. Keeping fingers crossed for all 3 of us.
