Had my husband interview yesterday i check ceac yesterday and it said AP and now it says ISSUED seems like its moving fast. 😁😁😁

Finally joining you guys, got my DQ today, hoping to get interview date soon!

Hello I had my interview yesterday 12:30pm-215pm some may had lunch at that time and started after 1pm.
 
They asked a lot of questions. 
The questions they asked was the same questions they aske me the  time I went to get a temporary visa since my mom in law was sick. 

They same guy interviewed me.
 
Every Embassy ask different questions basic on your past (traveled)

Embassy’s ask the same questions they ask everyone.
how you meet 
where you met
How long you have been married
When did you get married and so on y’all know the other questions.

Some Embassy will look at your past when you have travel and asked about it, specially if you was in college in the state.
Some may not ask that.

The only thing I can tell you is to stop asking people from different country what questions they ask becuase they are not same Embassy you will attend.

Start asking people from your country and not other country.

As for me I normal look at the review from my country and see what questions was asked etc. not other country’s.
Some may say to have an idea what they will asked. First of all we know what the important questions they will ask. 
 
Try to keep in mind every Embassy is different.
 
 
 
thank you all for your help, this process have been the longest and hard time for me and my family. Started this process from 2016 to 2019 it was a lot going on and off and blah blah so on. That when some of us have lawyers and when some of them don’t know what they doing.
 
 
i had a lawyer for a reason not for laziness or not know what to do. It was a reason for me to have one. At some point I did finish the process with out them becuase all they do is mess things up. Dibbie, applerose ,Sundee, Lynni and so on I can keep them but will stop right there. was very helpfully thank You 
 
 
 
Bottom long is we have to do one last paperwork which will be email to the Embassy today and my passport will be ready tomorrow.
 
 
thank you all and no I am not leaving the group am still here to help out.
 

Congratulations same here mine interview was last week Tuesday. So glad it’s jver 

Just picked up my husband IR1 visa this morning at the visa support center here in São Paulo. I also paid online the USD 220.00 immigrant visa fee.
 
Cool thing is that for Brazil everything is electronic so no need to carry the sealed envelope to give to the immigration officer once landing in the USA.
 
Now working on booking our plane tickets!!!
 
Finally this long journey is over!
 
Wishing you all the best and thank you all for your support!

Everyone should be clicking on the Portal tab to visit the information for their country. If nothing is there or information needs updating. Update or add.
Its up to all of us to keep this information current, relevant and helpful to others.

Special Note: Different consulates or embassies have strict guidelines as to what type of bags/purses/cellphones etc can be carried in. And whether they provide any lockers (or not) for temp storage. As many travel from far away (by air/train/cars, one needs to specially know what they will not be able to take inside the consulate and where to store their personal belongings.
 
Here are some FAQ and other tidbits that may be useful to you. Be sure to visit your countries portal and click on the Consular Information and also Consular reviews.
 
FAQ

I just called and got Case Complete how long does it take to get the email as confirmation?
Well it has been taking 5 to 7 days to get case complete email from the date they Case Complete.

How long after Case Complete will I get an interview?
Okay this is the BIG mystery of NVC. How it usually goes is end of the month and first week of month they start scheduling for interviews for the that upcoming month. Since January they have been pretty consistent starting about the last 2 days of the month and finishing that following first week of next month

Do I have to call for my interview date?
NVC has improved greatly since March. The interview letter now comes day of schedule. So call if you want its up to you.

I know someone who got interview in the middle of the month. How is that possible?
Usually when you see someone pop up with an interview outside the bunch its usually the result of a cancellation or the embassy opening up a slot. Just because scheduling stops doesn't mean they filled up all slots. They may have more slots than appointments which is good. So someone gets case complete and immediately they get an interview. It happens.

Remember every embassy has its own slots and schedule. Some like Mexico, Ghana are very busy with a long waiting list. Some like Yemen, well it may be a few months to get in. Iceland you get interview immediately scheduled after case Complete.

I need to change our interview date what do I do?
Once you receive your interview date track your casefile. Call NVC ask when your casefile left than you can follow the DHL instructions to embassy. The contact your embassy (email is best) and ask to be rescheduled later, earlier just ask. 

What do I need to bring to interview?
When you receive your P4 Letter (Interview letter) it will have your personalized checklist of things to bring or not. It has been suggested because things have been lost between NVC and embassy to bring everything (Originals) to the interview so if they don't have at embassy you aren't delayed.It's up to you. It doesn't happen much but it does happen.
 
How to expedite at NVC?
Go to this link has good information how to go about it.

Just to remind everyone to revisit the NVC Process Wiki, NVC Process Wiki
*******************************
 
Thanks to Fabian&Ross for spelling this all out. Once you get the interview letter reference this.
 
 
You must bring the following items to the visa interview:
Any original documents the NVC requested that you did not submit (refer to the document list below) If the physician gives you your medical exam results, bring them to your interview in the envelope sealed by the medical office. Two passport photographs measuring 2 inches by 2 inches (5 cm by 5 cm) with a white background A valid unexpired passport Photocopies of all civil documents A new police certificate from your current country of residence, if you obtained the police certificate more than one year ago. Any additional documents listed in the U.S. Embassy or Consulate specific interview guidelines

How to pay the Green Card Production fee of $220 on the Elis system.
NO NEED FOR ACCESS CODE, that is for other procedures like getting a copy of a green card, etc.
1. Create the ELIS account here: https://myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov/
2. Go here to pay fee: https://www.uscis.go...g-online-filing
3. Click to pay the USCIS immigrant fee icon.
4.Click "continue" at the bottom.
5.Enter the Alien Number and the NVC or DOS case. Use the same email you used on the ELIS account.
This is critical to enable your created ELIS account to receive your payment information.
6. You will get an email confirming your payment.
7. When you log again on the ELIS account, you will see your case number. (It is added automatically).
8. Login into your ELIS account to track or check the status of your Green Card.
Note: Green Card process starts when immigrant enters USA and is processed at POE.
 
******************Tips about your getting your SSN******************
If you don't have your SSN card within 21 days of your POE,  go IN PERSON to your local SSA office and see if your  application was forwarded by the Immigration officer.   It only works about 50% of the time when you tick  the box on the DS-260. As soon as you have your SSN you  may work.  Your passport visa and the immigration stamp  is the equivalent of your green card. Thank you Sukie in NY

Congratulations! So glad you are finally at the end of your long journey!

I just got off the phone with my husband 
HE WAS APPROVED 
I’m so overwhelmed and I can’t stop crying 
😢😢❤️❤️❤️😱
Thank you to everyone who supported me , provided your words of wisdom and experiences.

My husband has made it to the Ghana embassy and only a few people were there . I can’t even sleep 😱

Just wondering where would ICE deport US Citizens (after stripping off their US citizenship) if they are no longer the citizens of any other country.
 
I am a law abiding USC 😜, the moment i became the USC, I am no longer the citizen of Nepal where I am originally from. If I were to be deported even by mistake, where would they deport me 🤔?

Just updating everyone: Got my case number assigned on July 17th (Wednesday) and shipment is apparently between today & tomorrow so hopefully we're within the time. Haha it seems like i'm the last Bahamian(on this forum) getting this K1 ,all of you guys are waiting on me? 

congrats
