ean

I recieved my NOA1 all 3 on Aug. 15 and up to now no biometrics appointment letter!

My I485 and EAD are both onm initial review and I 131 on acceptance.

What's with the hold up?

I'll finally be with my fiance in 4 days!

Yup those will work just fine.

is the 2012 tax return still valid as proof of being single?

I know they require 2 government issued valid id's, will the NBI clearance and Passport work? I dont have any other valid ID's aside from that

Thanks everyone! Would there be a problem if my fiance booked my flight for me?

the seminar itself isn't difficult. i actually learned quite a bit. i attended the morning session and i got there around 3:30am. we stood in line for 3 hours straight. we were all ready to pass out by 6:30am when they opened the doors haha! those who got there around 6 or 7 am were able to attend the pm session. if you get there around noon, I don't think there will be available slots. do it asap and be done with it. i can do the embassy interview over and over but the cfo... it's a nightmare lol

Wow. There are that much people who attend?

wow april 18? lol! yeah I attended the seminar last march 14

Is it easy? What time did you go? I plan to go to the 2-5 pm one, hoping I can get a spot

April 17 booked my ticket 2 months ago. when are you flying?

April 18. Lol are you done with your CFO already?

I'm flying MNL-ATL too! I got my ticket (one way) for $1,150. It's a little expensive than other flights that I saw maybe because I only have one stopover which is Narita, Japan. I used Kayak.com but all it did was route me to the Delta website hehe. I booked my own ticket but I don't think you're gonna have problems if your fiance will book your flight for you. But just to play it safe, let him send you a photocopy of his credit/debit card and a photocopy of his ID.

When are you flying?

This is for MNL-ATL. Can my fiance book my flight for me? Would there be any problems?

Do you guys have any suggestions on where to get cheap fares?

Visa was delivered to me yesterday. Waiting for my wedding dress to be finished then off to be with my fiance. To everyone who's waiting, just hang in there. Soon we'll all be talking about our beautiful weddings.

Just got my passport (with the visa packet)!

Me too, Yaaay!

Congrats 1kiki and Tiffs&Babs! Well deserved! Hang in there everyone, we'll all close the distance soon

Goodluck 1kiki! Visa status is Issued. Visa should be here in a few days. Waiting for my bridal gown to be finished then I can be with my fiance

Visa Issued too!

VISA ISSUED

Had my interview March 26.

March 28 - Admin Processing

March 31 - ISSUED

Impressive!

We have the same interview date

March 26-Ready

March 31- Administrative processing

Hoping to get my visa Issued soon too! Which doesnt matter because I can't leave until I get my school documents anyways and my wedding gown to be finished.

status changed to Administrative Processing

We had same date of interview last march 26. My status still READY (case is open) i hope this week it will be Issued let me know if your status will change this week. Thank you

Yes, sure. Please let me know too.

Congrats guys happy days! I hope my turn soon to be interview:) God Bless.

Thank you, goodluck!

It's still "READY" too.

Please update me once it changes.

Congrats!!

The typical steps in the visa issuant steps are as follows... Administrative Processing ==> Ready ==> Administrative Processing ==> Issued

Usually takes about 7 = 10 business days.

Start making your plans your almost there.

Thank you! My status right after the interview is Ready up to now. Is it normal?

I was about to ask the same question. We both had our interviews and approvals on the same date. Thanks Greenbaum for a quick response.

What is your case status as of now?

I had my interview last March 26 and I got approved! Thank you to everyone here on Visa Journey for your help. I barely got interviewed for like 3-5 minutes by the American consul. It also did not matter that my fiance did not meet the poverty guideline last year, the co just looked at his current paystubs (he didnt even bother asking for the employment letter). What a huge relief!

I checked my case status and it says READY since my interview date

What is the usual series of status before visa issuance?
