James-Bond007

You have a great sense of smell @James-Bond007! We got approved! The interview went smoothly. I spent more time waiting to be interviewed than at the interview itself. I got there at 8:20 for my appointment at 9:30. My husband came with me but they didn't allow him to come in with me. I got a number and sat there for an hour, got called to get the rest of the paperwork they requested on an email. Sat again for another maybe 30 minutes. I was very nervous cause I didn't take my X-rays. The X-rays were saved in a CD and they do not allo people to bring in CDs, USB memories and similar things. Imagine how worried I was when I saw everyone with the CD. I swore I would get a green sheet telling me to come back with the CD. 
 
Thankfully that didn't happen ???? in fact, I spent all night printing pictures and other information and they didn't ask for it! They didn't ask me for proof of bonafide marriage at all. I would say the interview lasted 1-2 minutes. They asked me around 6 or 8 questions.
-what's my husband's name?
-when did I get married? (Date)
-what does he do?
-who does he work for? (Family business)
-which other members of his family work in the business?
-how many siblings does he have?
-what's my father in law's name?
 
When he asked the last question he was already reaching for the paper they give that says your visa is approved ? Everyone that great and smoothly. One piece of advise tho. My country is know for being insecure but there's crime everywhere. Make sure to stay aware of your surroundings. The US embassy in my country is in one of the nicest areas of my city and there are a lot of cops around. But when I was crossing the street I figured I would join my husband at the McDonald's close to my embassy, where he was waiting for me. I was very happy and as I crossed the street I saw 2 very odd looking men that when they saw me crossing the street they stared at me then stared and nodded at each other. One of the man started walking down the street while the other one stayed behind. Big red flag to me. I decided to stay on the corner next to a cop just to make sure nothing happened to me. The cop asked me what was I waiting for since it's not allow to have people waiting close to the embassy surroundings. I told him what had happened and he allowed me to stay next to him until my husband got there and picked me up. 
 
The cop said they work in the area and they're there every day but that just seemed fishy to me. Anyways, this was just some advise to make sure you don't let your happiness distract you from the surroundings, especially when you leave the embassy.
 
The consular officer told me I would get my passport back within 2 weeks, but most people here and friends of mine told me they get it within 2-3 days so hopefully I'll have my paperwork and passport by Wednesday next week ?
 
Good luck to everyone still waiting, believe me, the wait was worthy. The happiness and peace you feel when you hear "your visa is approved" makes it all better.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They receive at least 1k from every filer with about 500,000 applications per year. That's about a $500,000,000 per year revenue. They could hire more folks, or just disregard peoples' separated families and lost time, and pocket the profit. Its a joke. They obviously don't have enough people working there. They barely pick up a new phone line every 30-60+ minutes. Then they act like we are pests. 
 
I pay my taxes and so does everyone else. No one deserves to wait this long.

Only the federal government can take 10 days to send an email... lol

Finally CC today 1/4...... Now hoping for a quick interview date assignment. What a stressful wait......

Oh my god, yes! ALL of this! Everything's just a big depressing stand still. And that "Any news?" question - I was just talking to my husband about that yesterday, it's really starting to wind me up! "Obviously you would know if there were news!!"
 
My boss assumes I'm never leaving and I can't say anything because the date keeps pushing back. I feel terrible! Like I'm being dishonest, but I think it'd be worse to mess her around with the dates. By the way, I work in a job that's not my career choice because there's scarcely any work in my field in England and it's just depressing me even more. Not only is my personal life on hold but so is my career . Rant over. Thanks, you guys, for listening!

Not sure if anyone cares, but I logged into the CEAC site on the 27th or 28th and noticed we had gotten the third "N/A." Received an email on the 30th with my interview date in Montreal.
 
Good luck to everyone still waiting!

As I said earlier, supervisor review is a polite way of saying "yes, we know that you already hit the 6 weeks mark, we know, now go away."

I just logged on and saw my 3 N/As guys. On the phone with NVC to confirm. This is surreal, I was being noisy at work so I had to step outside for a bit. I can't believe it.

They better improve service levels before they ask for more money

I used Rapid Visa, they saved me no time and I did the work for little to no advice and support from them. This site is more than adequate for your immigration needs. Save the cash and buy your significant other a nice gift

. I was really hoping to get it by today and book tickets for early next week. I don't want to wait the weekend once again I officially hate weekends now lol
