    After 6 months of waiting my fiancé is finally with me. My fiancé is pregnant and was able to make it here safely last Friday. We got our visa and she arrived here right around 6 months from NO1. Good luck to all you guys!    =)  Thanks to all for all of the useful information from this site!

    So I got my approval in the mail today 09/08. The notice date is a saturday 9/02 even though my case tracker was updated on tuesday with the date of 09/05. I will be updating my noa2 date to 09/02 on my timeline. I guess this adds to the theory that they work overtime(saturday) to process backlogged cases.

    CEAC status changed to Issued!! Interview 09/06, AP 09/07, Issued 09/08.
    Does that mean my visa is on the way or are they still doing more with it?
     
    It has this message: Your visa is in final processing. If you have not received it after more than five (5) working days, please visit www.usvisa-info.com/en-CA/selfservice/us_courier_information to track your courier waybill, to check your profile at the appointment website, or send an email to Contactus_en_ca@usvisa-info.com to determine the status of your passport.
     
    But that link wouldn't work for me... anybody else have this? Is there somewhere else I can go to track the visa if it is already sent?

    Interview time was at today at 1pm (Romanian time) (3am our time) I waited a VERY painful 1hr and 45 min until I got the call from my F ... his words? Baby, I now declare us husband and wife!!

    VISA APPROVED!!!

    Although he was one of the first in line, after he had gotten through security clearance, he had been skipped over 2-3 times which is why it took soooo long. I was getting so worried because I know, based on what others have said, that interviews generally only take 10-20 min! The actual interview itself was only about 10 min.

    Some of the questions they asked:
    *How did you two meet?   When he replied online, they then asked
    *Where online?  When he said in World of Warcraft they then asked
    *Oh, you guys play World of Warcraft? (with great interest lol) What avatar do you play? What avatar does she play?
    *Have you two met in person? Yes
    *Have you been to the United States? No
    *Has she been to Romania? No
    *Where did you two meet in person?
    *Does she have kids?
    *What are their names?
    *Are you aware of her previous relationship and divorce?
    *How long ago was her divorce?
    *How does your parents feel about the relationship?
    *Then asked some questions in regards to the age difference
    *Then jumped back to World of Warcraft (lol) What was her avatars name when you two met?
    *Oh, she plays a priest AND a warlock? (lol)

    He will soon be traveling back to his home town and then we can start looking at airfare again... but, prices have gone sky high since gas has gone sky high... so, that is a bit frustrating. AND he will have his visa and passport in 2-3 days.
    And by the sounds of it, there is going to be MANY more approvals right around the corner!!
     
    EDIT: I pushed real hard to make this happen a month after NOA2!!

    The words they are using there are simply respectful greeting of good afternoon and don't relate to the topic they are discussing so non-Filipino readers are not missing out on anything.
    I've seen this done with other posters in threads here just recently in Spanish  basic respectful greetings nothing more but I agree we don't want entire conversations here in other languages as we have a variety of countries here.

    I can't speak for what they will do with them, but that's directly from the I-129F instructions as of a few months ago (and prior editions at least back to 2013).

    Ben & Judy Mae reacted to Greenbaum in St. Luke Manila Spectrum Test / TB odds   
    I don't sugar coat things.  So here goes.  First of all if the "regular guy"  can't afford to take the Visa Journey then I suggest they get off the bus.  Yes it can be expensive. The first thing I did was ask an "expert" what the journey was going to cost and then I multiplied it by 3 as I was going to bring all three to the USA. Once I knew the cost then it WAS ME who made the decision. The government, the embassy, NVC and surely not USCIS made me apply for a visa for my wife. 
     
    TB KILLS.  Yes that is a fact. SLEC has the best equipment and the best lab to test the samples with. Rarely to they make a mistake. But to answer your questions yes she can do it locally but there are strings attached. Here is the official word that was received from SLEC on this topic.
     
    "If both the smear and MTB culture test revealed positive result, applicant will be required to undergo treatment here in our facility, if you decided to have the treatment done in the province, a repeat medical exam will be required, but you will have to wait 1 year after treatment outside is completed. This means that, applicant has to wait an additional 1 year after the end of acceptable TB treatment before doing the repeat medical examination."
     
    So there is your answer 6 months and get it over with through SLEC or do it in the province and face the reality of a very long journey.
     
    Yes the journey involves "money, money and more money" and it won't end once you have your visa. You still have AO$ and then your 10 year GC, and then naturalization. Everyone involved has a job to do. Just like you have a job you go to. You go to the job to do hopefully what you enjoy and get paid for it. They are no different then you. So have some compassion for the monetary requirements of the journey.
     
    "Who knows the negative and positive rate of those having TB test at St Luke ?" They do not publish those numbers. I have been here long enough to see that there is a good amount who are negative but for those that are positive they lived to be with "their family" or start one because TB was caught and cured. 
     
    Here are some links if you care to learn more. 
     
    https://www.cdc.gov/tb/topic/basics/default.htm
     
    https://www.cdc.gov/tb/publications/faqs/default.htm
     
    I hope each and everyone of you pass the medical with no problems. Try and control what you can control and that which is out of your control, let the experts or the man upstairs do what they know.

    That's what i presented too in SLEC, a screenshot of the CEAC site since my fiance had not received the letter at that time yet.but they didnt accepted it. They put a sign on my documents NO NVC letter, she then told me I need to bring the NVC letter when i get my medical results. She let me proceed with the medical exam. I have to go back the next day ( tuesday) for my results and immunization. Good thing, when i woke up, my fiance sent me an email. It was the NVC letter! It was really right on timing. He scanned it and i printed it. I brought it to SLEC. Those two day-medical exam is the most exhausting day of my life. Glad i had my mama with me during those days😊. Im getting married but still a mama's girl😂. Anyway congratulations to all who got their NOa2s and visas! I was just lurking around for the past few weeks. Secretly cheering for everyone here.

    Hey fellow Whiners!

    Just wanted to send a sign of life!

    I'm totally worn out.. worst time - right before leaving.

    My last day of work is Friday next week, I have to work full time until then, my replacement is here 5 hours a day, so I need to train her.
    Then I'm still in dental treatment, have to clear my apartment mostly by myself.

    I just brought my sold iMac to shipping, so I don't even have a computer anymore.

    I have to say goodbye to so many people these days; beloved coworkers, friends, and next week my mommers.

    Hopefully I'll get everything fixed, so I can leave for Hamburg on the 18th and fly out on the 22nd!

    I'm mentally and physically worn out.... seriously underestimated clearing life in the last days! Good thing I started in March already, otherwise I'd die.

    That's why I just wanted to say hi!
    I hope everyone is fine, processing on!

    I'll be back briefly and wish a great time for everyone of you!

    Jump and carry on!
    Hugs!
