New

A second interview means just that...a second interview, it does not mean the visa has been approved. Depending on what the embassy found

during AP they may have further questions. Often cases are returned without second interviews so at least you have hope to get approved at the

next interview.

Best wishes for a successful outcome.

So cases that will be returned back after AP does not go thru another interview?

Please help and clarification is needed here. A friend went for interview last year October at the Lagos consulate, he was given a contact sheet and put on AP. He got a call from the embassy today and he was told that he has been scheduled for an interview in two weeks time by 7am. He asked the caller how will he enter the embassy since there's no email, he was told to come with any document that shows his name and case number.

Please what should he expect, has he been approved? Is that good news?

THANK U MY FRIEND!!! U & everyone's prayers helped and my husband got his visa!!!! They told him he will get his visa in 1 week!! The interview was straightforward and the COs were nice.

I WANNA THANK ALL MY VJ FAMILY ESPECIALLY SOLOENTA, DWHEELS, & SAYLIN, for all the support and encouragement they provided thru this journey!! I will post a review shortly....and now I can finally sleep and get very good rest.

Congratulations Maria, am so happy for you.

Happy belated new year my lovely VJ family, it's been a while that I last came online. Special thanks goes to Soloenta for the prayers and for keeping this thread alive. Congratulations to everyone that got good news and positive movement with the immigration process. Congrats Soloenta for getting an interview date, i pray your husband gets his visa approved without any AP, i also pray that we all get united with our spouses and loved ones ASAP.

Congrats Soloenta!!!!!! Words can't express the joy in my heart for you. You are truly a rare gem and your husband is the luckiest man, his so lucky to have a wife filled with physical beauty and beautiful heart. You are a very strong woman and your words of encouragement to me and everyone is a one of a kind. I pray your husband gets a quick interview date and a successful visa approval with no AP.

Wow lots of pages to catch up with...

Read and done...

A very big congratulations to Hope and Msc. So happy you are finally done with the immigration process, i wish you both a successful and smooth POE.

Congratulations to everyone that got good news and positive movement with the process.

Soloenta am waiting to hear your good news of CC which i know its just around the corner.

Those waiting to be interviewed, i wish you best of lurk and successfully approval without any AP or delay.

Those with checklist, my prayers and thoughts are with you for quick review.

For those waiting for CC, i pray you all get CC without any checklist.

My prayers are for all of us going thru this immigration journey and i pray that we all get to unite with our spouse and loved ones ASAP.

Sorry double post.

The operator I talked to said they do processing on Saturdays too.

I won't believe that if i were you.

Ok guys.....here's the issue:

.I received an email on what I thought was a false checklist for "original birth certificate and marriage license on 10/22/14.

.I called on that day and 3 TIMES AFTER THAT WITHIN 3 WEEKS....for details on the checklist.

.Reps kept telling me that they need original docs of marriage license and birth certificate which I sent in on 9/26/14.

.reps told me on 3 different occasions "oh I see we received mail on 9/26 that might not have been reviewed yet.

.Last monday I called and was told that I need an inextensa birth certificate and the notarization on the marriage licence needs to come from a different office.

What im confused abt is why no one could tell me this until as of last monday when I called. Now they keep saying that the standard time is 60 days to review. I would've gotten them exactly what they needed if a competent rep could've told me that. That was the entire reason for the last "now 5 calls"

Does anyone think a supervisor could change this 60 day BS?!?!?!

So sorry about that, the reps are nasty and notorious for telling different lies. I doubt if a supervisor can change their policy, but there's no harm in trying. You can ask of supervisor Silvia, Octavio or Betsy.

l pray we all come out of this Administrative Processing ASAP.

thank you

just hang in there EOC you will get that visa soon god willing, I konw it is easier said than done.

Thanks sweetheart, i pray it gets issued soon.

Hi friends,

Sorry I have not been around as much lately. So busy with trying to sell the house. After 3 weeks on the market we have received and accepted an offer! We are not officially sold until 9th December, as the buyer is getting an independent building/pest inspection and has to get their finance cleared, but they are pre-approved so we should be good! We got offered more than we had anticipated ($2500 more than any 3 bedroom house in our area has sold for in the past 3 years!), which is wonderful because now we can use the extra money to ship our belongings and put towards flights. We have asked for a settlement date of 21st Jan (flights get cheaper, almost ½ price mid Jan). So fingers crossed, if everything works out, we should have our POE about 22nd Jan!

I cant believe I might actually be home in 8 weeks! And only 33 days of work left. Ha ha

I am sending all of my positive vibes to MSC for an earlier interview date, EOC for visa issue and Soloenta and SharksBelow for CC. Best of wishes to everyone else going through this process, no matter what stage you are at, I hope everyone gets through quickly!!!

Thank you Amanda for remembering us. Its such a good thing that things are moving on good for your family and am so glad for the sale of the house and soon you and your family can be finally home.

GUYSS! I just checked the website and I finally got N/A, I told myself for my own sanity not to check it till tomorrow but I did and it change well now i just have to call and that will be at 4am my time when they open!! hopefully its a freaking CASE COMPLETE!! yuju

I mean i dont know if it is a case complete just yet but thank you all for always Reading my comments, suporting me and just for being there. We are all here for a reason and i wish some day we can make a nvc reunión haha

Congratulations.

Hello my dear VJ members

My AOS changed from paid to NA, I will call at 7 am to confirm. Scan date sept 30^th or oct 2^nd depending on who you talked to at the hell hole at nvc.

Congratulations.

I read this forum daily and this woman's posts sometimes make me wonder if she is actually a human being or an angel from heaven. Yes soloenta I m talking about u I don't know how u do this really. May God gives u strength always.

I gave my resignation at work. So it's my last day after two days. Then I will be again active on tis forum like before

EOC. I pray u get ur visa this week!! No one deserves this.

And msc I m still waiting to hear good news from u that u got interview in first week of dec

So good to hear from you Samreen, can't wait for us all to get thru this process ASAP.

Amen

So I'm confused with the Visa Journey FB page - do people actually update there? I have sent a request to add myself days ago and no one has even accepted me. Am I trying to add myself to the wrong page? The days are getting closer and I need as much data as possible to know when to call NVC!

If you don't mind, you can send me your facebook name and i will add you to the visa journey FB page.

Case complete! Finally! Scan date Oct. 2nd! ?

Congratulations.

Good to see NVC is reviewing Oct scan dates. Soloenta sweetheart, am so eager to celebrate your CC.

EOC sweetheart. How r u doing? I can imagine what u r going through. I pray u get ur approval next week. This wait is a torture beyond words after interview! Please hold on. U r almost there

Thanks Samreen, the wait is even more than a torture. Thinking of all the wait time at USCIS, NVC and now the embassy, i just can't hold back the tears. The nightmare of this immigration process is just way too much to bear.

POE - Done!!! at Douglas (Peace Arch) US-Canada Border Crossing in Blaine, WA!

After 45 minutes, I'm finally a permanent resident of the USA!

My immigration journey has finally come to an end after 13 months.

I'll post my POE experience later.

We rented a car and drove from Vancouver (Canada) to Seattle to move our moving boxes.

But, I'm not in the US now since I had to come back to Canada to return the rental car!

I will finally move to the US for good tomorrow!

Congratulations Austin. Eager to read your POE review, your interview review was fantastic.

Congratulations.

Hey EOC... Thanks for asking. It will be a month on Saturday since we arrived, but it feels a lot longer with all that transpired since. Purse is certainly a lot lighter. Kids are really enjoying their schools. My 11-year old who never touched a violin before we came can now play basic tunes and she just loves it. School was really kind to her giving her free private lessons to catch up with her peers.

We just got our GCs earlier this week but no SS cards. DMV is backed up so we won't take our driving tests till Dec 8.

All in all, we're having a blast so far.

Am glad the whole family is very well settled in.

I hope you hear back from them soon! Don't give up the faith!

Thanks a lot. I hope i get good news soon.

Good news! I hope you hear better news next week! Fingers crossed!

I know it's extremely hard to wait since you're almost done! It gets harder and harder at the end of the immigration journey.

You can say that again Austin, it feels painful not getting done with the long process. I wish you a smooth POE. Waiting for your review.

Oh thank God they have it I for one will be praying they give you your Visa soon and I'm sure everyone here is saying a prayer also. Stay strong sweet heart your so very close. Love you girl!!!!

Thanks my dearest friend, you have always been a source of strength and hope for eveyone. I can't wait to celebrate your CC, visa approval and a smooth POE. Love you dearest sister.

Data point: Got CC today (20 Nov) and our last scan date was 22 Sep - an extra 60 days of waiting as they raised a checklist to see a payslip for a job even though we're qualifying on assets alone. Still, at least it's over - we've been hanging with the NVC crowd since April.

Congratulations.

Ok ok ok, what in the world is a contact sheet, and do we all need one????

I think this had to do with Lagos consulate, i have not seen any other country reporting this.

Same thing happened to me. The hand delivered document they requested was ignored/lost for two weeks until I emailed a copy. They acted on that within a couple of days.

Hello Mobar,

how's life in U.S and how's the family? I pray and hope i hear good news soon.

Exactly and the best thing to do is hand deliver it, I swear sometimes I think they do it on purpose just to frustrate people. But you'll see all will be well once they get the information in their hands. I'll be praying on my side for sure.

Thanks my dearest friend. Got an email from the embassy acknowleging the receipt of the contact sheet. I pray something positive is done ASAP. My patient and strength are all exhausted.

Visa approved

Everything went smoothly. The easiest experience ever!!!

I will receive my visa like in one week, maybe less.

I will submit a review within my timelimen later when I have more time.

Thank you so much to all vjers.

Special thanks to Saylin, dwheels, Soloenta and Austin Canada

Congratulations.

Providence!? I was thinking about applying for a job at Providence (not at a hospital, but the office in Seattle).

Totally unacceptable! I can't believe how they're handling this issue!

You may want to call/email your friends and neighbors to see if they have received any emails/calls from the embassy (just to make sure if the embassy didn't mix up the info with someone else).

You mean you don't think they want to see me doing yoga at POE!?

I was thinking about doing a headstand (while being inspected) to impress them at POE!

I was so devastated when we got the response from the embassy after asking for an update. Have asked the contacts and non of them have been contacted yet.

Lagos sounds like NVC :/ I think it's so bad how they are so heavy handed with the fraudsters that it inevitably affects genuine couples too. So heartbreaking *big hugs*. I hope the end is in sight.

Its so heartbreaking and sad been punished unjustly.

Oh wow, have loads of fun enjoy your flight will be praying you have a safe one there and one back with your husband. So very excited for you my dear friend! Why will you be at the hospital? work or pleasure? Hahahahaaaa ok my excuse is I haven't slept in a few days. All will go great but wont stop praying until you pass POE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love you girl!

Oh sweet heart I'm so very sorry what idiots, but try to stay calm all will be well. Is the Embassy close or fairly close to your husband? I would make an appointment and hand deliver it then ask for a receipt! There is no way they can deny it then. I'll be praying there is a quick solution to this madness. Love you sweetness.

OMGGGGGG! HURRY UP FOR PETE'S SAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are waiting to hear updates today and if nothing is heard, i will hand carry it myself to them. There's no way they can deny that. Its just so frustrating and just when we think the journey is about to end then we are stuck at the embassy again.

Oh precious I'm so sorry and I know this is so horrible and what I'm most afraid of, I'm sure they will put us in AP also. Please know sweet heart your in my thoughts and prayers. God in heaven will make this end in your favor soon. Did they tell you why your in AP? I'm saying a prayer right now.

They gave me a contact sheet which requires the contact details of a friend, a neighbor and a relative. Which was sent to them November 6th but yesterday the embassy claim they don't have it in my file. I cried when i got that response from the embassy. 2weeks wasted for nothing.

Well, my immigration journey hasn't ended yet!

I hope I don't have any problem at POE tomorrow!

Fingers crossed!

I know it's hard since you've had your interview, and you thought your immigration journey was over!

I also thought my immigration journey was over after my interview; then, I had a problem receiving the visa!

Since you have gave them your contact list almost two weeks ago, you may hear good news soon!

Fingers crossed!

The embassy made me cry yesterday, they claim they didn't receive the contact sheet. My husband sent it to embassy and he copied me, i received mine but the embassy claim they didn't receive it. They asked us to resend it again, my husband resent it and i also send it again yesterday. At least they will get to see either of the two if not both of them.
