e&g12.05.13

Heeeey everyone! Happy 2015! I'm full of hopes and great expectations for this year!!

Hubby flew back to the U.S. Yesterday and I stayed in Brazil praying to be there with him soon.

My interview was scheduled for Feb 27th, I'm a little bumped because we were "expedite" but I didn't see any "expedition" on it...lol

Anyway, it's better than nothing, all my package is in the consulate already, now I just need to get ready with the medical and wait.

Prayers to you all, I believe this year will be a better one!

Your Dewheelsness the ship has landed interview date Feb 19 Th at 7:30 am and my husband first words were ..................... 7:30 am really Hahahahaaaa he's so funny but he's excited and happy .

Congraaaaaats my friends!! Great news!!

Ready means you are ready to be scheduled doesn't always mean you have interview. For most of us who got interview through NVC Ready for us means embassy has our petition. So the same would be for you. They have your petition.

Oh, thank you so much!!!

Hi guys, long time I don't show up here.

I have a question about my case..on CEAC website it says "READY" and last update was dec 24th, but we do not have our interview date yet.

My file is at the consulate already, and I've contacted them before but no email with the interview date.

Should I worry??

Thanks in advance.

Hellooooooo friends!

It's been a while since I last came in here, but husband is in town and we're taking the most of it together! Hope you all had great Christmas and my prayers are all with you!

I still don't have a interview date, but I gave it to the Lord's best decision. For now, just enjoy the summer in South America and have fun.

Lots of love, peace and hope to you all!

If its already at the consulate the status should change to Ready any time now might take a couple of days.

Thanks!

Hi guys!

My ceac status says "in transit" but I traccked DHL and my package is already in the consulate. Do you know how long it takes to change to "ready"?!

I'm an expedite at the consulate level, btw, so I don't have my interview date yet.

Ty in advance!

Hey, fellow Brazilian resident here!!

How do I attempt to get it expedited? I've called the NVC and they've told me that there is no way to expedite it. Any ideas?

Hi there! It's really hard to find brazilians with this kind of visa right?!

So...mine was based on health reasons (I, the beneficiary, have a health condition that needs to be followed by a specialist, and since I lost my job I don't have health insurance, while in the USA I do, due to much husband's job. So we collected a lot of papers - three letters from doctors, results of exams, letter from the health insurance in the US proving I have it there, and so on - and we scanned and send it all with a letter to the email nvcexpedite@state.gov

They send it all to the consulate in rio and then they decide weather or not have an expedition request approved. So, we did, but the NVC desnt review any paper faster. They process everything in normal speed but once you have a case complete your papers go straight to the consulate and then they schedule the interview for the closer date they can.

Hope I could help you, let me know if you have more questions.

VJ friends I have news as well....

I submitted expedited request on 12/11/2014 and today it was approved... YEAPEE!!

This is what i got:

The U.S. Embassy is willing to expedite this case when we have all the fees, forms, and documents. If you have not already done so, you can pay your fees and submit Form DS-260 at ceac.state.gov. Please send everything else to this address:

What do i do next? Does NVC automatically sends my docs. Since i am already post-Checklist? How long would it take to get the appointment from the embassy??? does anyone know.??

Hi there! Congraaaats!

So, I had the same kind of expedite...Unfortunatly NVX won't send your packages right away...instead, you need to have a case complete, and then you won't need to wait in the line to have them scheduling an interview; your package is sent right away to the consulate and they schedule the interview for whenever they can...but that will happen only after a case complete from NVC..:/ it sucks, but trust me, it's waaay better than nothing!!

I have no idea how to Schedule a biometrics appoiments, I go to the link they sent me and its all about non immigrant visass!! Help please

So sorry, with the consulate in Brazil they schedule all the appomtments for me, except the medicals. I'd suggest you to talk to someone who had interview in Mexico, so they can give you a more specific info.

Good luck!

WHY IS THE CHECKLIST EMAIL SO CONFUSING! :crying:

Sorry my dear....is there anything we can help?! I know exactly how you feel, but trust me, you have to find strength somewhere to put everything they ask together and send ASAP...if you want to paste here the email, just hide your personal info and I'm sure you'll find someone who can help you out.

Just breathe.

Hello everyone! My hubby's interview is tomorrow morning! Please pray for my hubby to be approved. Three years is waaaaaaaaaaaay too long to be separated! Thank you in advance for your prayers.

Prayers are with you my dear! Believe that everything is already done! Believe on Him!

I was. It's on its way

Yeeeeey! Great!!!! Let me know when your hear about your interview!

Actually this exact thing to me. It turns out it's just because all the applications go to the post office and there in a huge bin that just go to the NVC sorting center so you don't get a personalized signature. And the tracking on USPS is correct as far as when the signature says. So don't worry it is there.

Great to know! Thanks for sharing it and giving some peace of mind to someone who needs!

Congratsss Soloenta im so happy u finally got your case complete!!!! :goofy:

To everyone that is waiting, for a case complete,noa2,interview Schedule, anything I will like to share this beautiful prayer!!

Dear God,

Please help me trust You and in Your timing. I tend to get impatient and I tend to take matters into my own hands. I know this is a weakness of mine. I am so sorry. Holy Spirit please transform this part of me. Help me to trust in You Lord and trust that Your timing is best. I pray for patience and I pray that I would understand that Your ways are better than my ways. I do not always know how to have patience. My flesh is weak when it comes to waiting. Please help me to be stronger in this area! I also pray that my husband would have patience and trust in Your timing. We rely on You Lord. I pray that as we wait on You, we would encourage each other to remain patient and faithful in Jesus name AMEN!

Amen!

Thank you for sharing, it's exactly what I need!! God bless you!

Thanks

And I swear, I'll get to updating the spreadsheet tonight. I have about a week's worth of requests, haha. Yay for being busy at work and dealing with personal stuff

You're welcome, but I thank you for your effort and help here. What is a week compared to 60 days?! Haha

Today is my birthday....and i was hoping to find "issued" on our case...but still in AP....I will not cry i will be optimistic....eventhough my heart breaks inside....No husband here, no daddy for our kids, no other family except Gramma, Thank God for Gramma....only birthday wishes on fb....i swear i want to delete everybody....why can't i have the only person in the world who loves me....??? Why do they make me wait....I am alone without my Love .....the embassy does not care about us....another Christmas will come and go with no one to kiss under the mistletoe...191 days in AP....seriously I'm so mad...and yes, crying....for my husband....I HATE THIS PART OF THE PROCESS!!!

I'm so sorry you're passing through it! Just the thought of your pain hurts me too, so it might be really hard your position right now.

All I can tell you is that I've learned that EVEYTHING in live will pass...specially sadness and pain.

Sometimes when you're with a very bad flu, in bed, and you think "how does it feel to feel healthy?!"and then you recover your health and can't imagine how it feels to be sick...so it's life. Once this pain is over and you're finally with your husband, you won't remeber how it feels and how it hurts. So hold on it and believe that this sorrow is about to change for better.

And happy birthday, btw!

Hello guys my AOS fee turned into N/A on December 15th. So I called NVC to make sure whether my has approved or not. They said my case approved and they are waiting for interview date to be confirmed by embassy. I did not got approved email yet. How long it takes to receive approved email and interview date.

Hi there! Congrats on your CC!!!!

The time to schedule a interview depends on the consulate where the interview will take place. I suggest you to check the spreadsheet and follow the thread for interviews. The link is http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/524870-january-2015-interviews/

Good luck with the rest of your journey!

Anyone have some words of encouragement for me today? I feel like I am at my breaking point.

Yesterday I sent my AOS and IV documents priority express next day service which had a guaranteed delivery by 12pm today, or money back. The package arrived at the Portsmouth post office by 10:43 this morning. I was thinking that it would be cutting it close on delivery by 12pm, but since the NVC is only about a 15 minute drive from the post office, I thought there would be a chance. At 11:05am I received a notice that it was delivered and signed for, however the signature was very generic, just said N Visa Center. Here's the part that is frustrating, it also says that the delivery date has been updated from today to December 18th. Typically when a package arrives at the post office, it transitions from "Arrived at post office" to "out for delivery" before being delivered. It did not this time. The fact that the delivery date changed and there was never an update stating the package ever left for delivery, it leads me to believe that someone at the post office signed off on it being delivered, just to prevent having to issue me a refund.

In calling USPS, they tell me the system shows it was delivered and there is nothing to be done. There is also no explanation as to why the delivery date was updated from today to tomorrow. I'm sure calling NVC to ask about the package is pointless at this time as even if it was delivered, I'm sure they would not have opened it yet. I am so seriously frustrated right now!

I'm sorry you're passing through it. My best opinion is to not freacking out yet...wait and call on Friday evening to check if the package was scanned and ask for the date. With that you can have an estimate on when the package was actually delivered (it takes 1 to 2 days from the day it was delivered to the scan date).

Good luck and I hope you hear good news soon!

For anyone who has been shipped out and is in transit ... Hope this helps

Were you able to find yours??

Soloenta.... So happy for you. We all deserve good news, but I don't know of anyone who deserves it more!!! I hope for a speedy interview date for you and a very short AP!!

So I have some good news as well. Our interview was Dec 1, but we weren't approved right away because my husband had some previous issues with his visitor visa that we knew could be a problem. So i didn't post anything because it all felt really scary and uncertain and I wasn't ready to share. But now....

My husband received an email today that said his VISA WAS PRINTED and HE CAN PICK IT UP FRIDAY!!!

I can hardly believe it and my husband won't believe it until the Visa is in hand (actually until he's through POE). Thanks to this entire community for their knowledge and support. We literally could not have done it without the information and support of Visa Journey. I am so glad that I learned of this site.

COngratulations!!

It was about time right?! What a great Xmas present! :)

Hehehee ok made it thank you very mucho for adding me after ages, called again because they made me paranoid and not sure if it's the same one but the woman said her name was Joy could it be the infamous Joy or a new one? She was so sweet hummmm I should have asked or maybe not.

Anyway here I am reporting for duty I need to sleep...................................

WELCOME to the interview thread! (I'm at work, so no gifs available!)

Miss D would you try mine? It was expedited and sent out today to Ghana according to NVC

I think they will contact my hubby for interview though am not sure bc I seem to always get a different answer from NVC oh and btw I never received a letter from them with the codes to say if we needed to bring something to embassy

So confused

Please and thank you !!

This might be it. Since you are an expedite. Used EXP 12 DEC 2014A date range 11 -16

Hi patnjac!

So, we didn't receive this letter with the things I need to take to the embassy, because I believe it happens after they schedule an interview, which they didn't. Before tracking down anything on DHL you might first check the ceac status and see if it says "in transit". If so, it means its going to the embassy. If it says "at NVC" it's because its still there and there's no help tracking DHL.

So, first check the ceac and then move on from there. I'm also expedite, but since we're from different countries, each embassy might do things on their own way, who knows.

Please let me know about your ceac status.
