I think mine is St Louis, that's over a year!! Oh sigh!

Sorry I can't help anymore but contacting them is your best solution. Good luck!

You need to contact the NVC. They and the embassy have a copy once it's completed anyway but get in touch with them and get their advice.

To quote:

Do I bring my DS-260 application with me to the interview?

You should not bring your application with you to your interview. The interviewing officer will have full access to review your application online.

Okay, from memory it's a confirmation page with your essential details and photograph, it isn't the entire form. As you've received the email I assume you submitted the completed form. I found this on their website...

Once you submit your application, by clicking the “Sign and Submit Application” button on the "Sign and Submit" page, you will be unable to access your application again without the assistance of NVC for immigrant visas, KCC for Diversity Visas, or the U.S. Embassy or Consulate at which you plan to apply.

There should be a link in the email to take you back to it? I didn't have a printer for mine so I had to send it to a friend to print.

I don't anticipate receiving any update for another month or two yet. The wait is becoming anxious now I have to admit.

Yes.

Your priority date is the date they received the documents. 

Mine is August 8. 

I am stuck in "Fingerprint Fee Received"

My medical expires February 4. So I am getting anxious. 

Ahh okay, thank you. It has a priority date box but it's not filled in. Well, I'm okay for now then, my medical expires in April so there's a way to go yet.

Same here but a week earlier priority date. I looked at the app this morning and saw 2 cases near mine got issued an RFIE this morning. If after all this time we get asked for a new medical I'm going to be very frustrated 

I don't have a priority date on mine....

K-1 fiance visa will be if you want to bring him here to marry, you can marry and apply for a CR-1 but the K-1 would be your best route. He won't be able to work until after you're married and he's filed for his AOS and granted a work permit (EAD).

Did you ask specifically for changing with EAD? Sometimes the offices don't think about this document

No, because I didn't know to mention it anyway. I just went with what they said.

You are married now so you will file everything in your married name. Wait until you get your EAD and then go back to change your name. There is a lot of conflicting information on here about this as it seems not every office is the same. I was told exactly what you were. I file everything in my married because that is my name. The AOS, everything. I'm going to change my name on mine although I was told at the office to wait until I had my GC. It's different info at every turn.

I haven't been able to change mine, I went in to do it after we were married and again when I didn't hear anything 6 weeks later to be told that they get locked out of making changes once the AOS is in process and to wait until I have my GC. However, I have heard that you can change your name once you have your EAD but I haven't gone back yet. I may do tomorrow and see what different things I get told then!

Do everything before you file so that you have evidence to send in with your petition.

Hi!

I am looking for the better route to bring my fiancée who soon to be my wife.

Apr 2016, trip to Vietnam, meet and like, then engagement with 1 week, to my fiancée. Stay in Vietnam for 2 weeks total.

Come back USA, file I-129F, process and approval, then file to NVC, then file went to Hochiminh US consulate, interview and god a deny on K1, initials interview on Dec 9-2016. I arrived in Vietnam with my fiancée from Oct-17-2016 until this moment Dec-22-2016. I had my wedding on Oct-30-2016 w/o marriage certificate.

Now I plan to go with I-130 spouse after I make a married certificate.

Please help me all the expert or experience file.

I am us citizen,

"I am looking for the better route to bring my fiancée who soon to be my wife."

"I had my wedding on Oct-30-2016"

You see the confusion??

Either way you need to build on your relationship more and provide tons of evidence.... joint bank accounts, utilities in both names, phone contracts etc., etc., whatever you need to prove you're in a real bonafide relationship. If you're married then you need to file for a CR1 visa.

Agreed, it is your only route now. You can apply for the CR1 visa if you are already married and gather as much evidence as you can and then some to prove your relationship is legitimate. There isn't anything anyone else can advise really, it's your only option.

Well, we provide all require document, they interview us separate 7 window apart. We miss some key answers. CO deny base on we fail to prove bona fide relationship.

I'm even more confused now.

You weren't together for very long before you filed for her so I can see why they denied based on that. But still, you married before your K1 approval. I'm so baffled.

I'm a little confused, you married with K1 pending? If so, that's why you were denied.

We forgot to put our names on the back of ours and we got an RFE for it, we just submitted new ones with names on! Don't worry, your case won't be denied based on unsuitable photos.

Mine took 6 weeks.

This sounds like homesickness to me, everyone's experience with moving to America is different, some harder than others. I have had a hard time adapting and still do at times but things aren't as bad as they once were. I have been here for 6 months and in the beginning (after the honeymoon period), I always wanted to go back home, it was the first thing I'd say and the first thing I wanted whenever anything didn't go my way or during a minor disagreement with my husband for instance. Nobody said this transition was going to be easy, we knew it was going to be difficult but we didn't know just how difficult. Things will get easier, it's baby steps every day but I know that I could not or will not give up so easily, I can't throw the towel in and walk away because my husband is the one thing I am here for and no matter how difficult I feel life can be, I won't leave him. If you know for sure that you have done EVERYTHING you can to give it your best shot and you still want to leave then the best thing is for you to leave. If you think that there is more for you here and you're just homesick then stay and work through it. It's the only advice I can give you but I hope you find what you are looking for either way.

You can normally drive until your I-94 expires and then you have to wait until you have your EAD/AP combo card in hand, take that, passport and some recent mail to the DMV and he'll be good to go to take his test.

Who knows, but it's when your case has been updated, it SHOULD update online. So like F1 said if you get an RFE it will update to state that, if you're approved it will state that and if you have been called for interview it will state something like that. As for when it will update is anyone's guess, only they know that.

Maybe consider using the official USCIS process to ensure you're doing what they require you to do.

Mine is also stuck on "Fingerprint fee received" (September 2nd)

My pd is August 29th

I485 status changed on October 11th to "ready to be scheduled" and is still that way

I believe I saw someone from NYC with a status changed to 'ready to be scheduled', but I cannot remember who it was and which thread!

I don't mind the waiting (now that I'm working, my life is basically normal over here), but I'd just like to know where my case is: is it still at the national centre? Has it been forwarded onto the field office? If so, which one? Or is it somewhere else?

I have no clue where it is, which office or if it's been forwarded on to somewhere else. I go on to check my status on USCIS and it's still at fingerprint fee received. I wouldn't know how to find out where it is if I'm honest.
