I am very please to announce that my mom's visa was adjudicated yesterday.  They told her to wait a week to receive the visa.  It was a long journey, but it is near the end.  Next week, I will travel to Santiago, Chile to pick her up.  Best luck to all of you!  The wait is long, but the reward is well worth it!

Thank you all!!

My mother (IR-5) is going for he interview tomorrow at the Santiago Consulate.  I pray that everything goes smoothly for her...

Thanks

Waiting on the embassy for my status to change to "Issued". It has been 2 business days since the interview and they say it takes 5-7 business days to get the visa at DHL. Hoping to have the visa in hand sooner than later.

Congrats!!!  You are at the very end of the journey!!!!  Have you posted your consulate review yet?  I just want to be sure I do not miss it.  My mom is going for her interview on 6/21 in Santiago, Chile.  I assume that the process is similar to Buenos Aires.  Thanks and good luck coming to the U.S.!!

Congrats! How long did it take to get CC? I am petitioning my mom. My scan date is 03/29

10.5 weeks our scan date was 2/2.  What consulate is your mom interviwing at?

Hi All.  As I mentioned before we are IR-5 and my mom's interview is set for 6/21 in Santiago, Chile.  I am having trouble finding recent IR-5 (parent) sample interview questions and reviews.  I sent my mom a packet with copies of every paper I provided NVC including an updated finacial affidavit with 3 years of tax returns.  She is also bringing pictures of us through the years and copies of my US passport, Naturalization, etc.  I hope this will all suffice for approval, but I always fear of any left field questions or requests.  Are there any other IR-5ers there that had gone though the interview? 

Best to to all!

Well.  Our time is up.  cc: 4/17/2017, IR-5, interview finally scheduled for 6/21/2017 at 2pm at the Santiago, Chile consulate.  I like to help other people by sharing the experience and the question for a parent after the interview.  Can we be added to the tracking spreadhseet?

Thanks.  Good luck to everyone....

Can I be added to the spreadsheet? cc:4/17/17.  Waiting for interview slot.  Consulate: Santiago, Chile.

Is anyone going through the immigrant visa process at the Santiago consulate now.   Petitioning for my mother and awaiting interview from the consulate.  Our CC at NVC is 4/17/2017,,, Are the officers nice?  

Sorry.  I am petitioning for my mom.  Our Scan date is: 2/2/2017 and CC: 04/17/2017.  Waiting on Interview at the Santiago, Chile consulate.  Am I on the right thread?  How do I find other immigrant visa cases for the Santiago consulate?  Thanks for the help.

My mom's file at NVC took 10.5 weeks, and got the CC letter last Friday 4/14 (scanned at NVC Feb 1 2017).  Today we received a note that interview is pending sheduling from Santiago, Chile consulte. Sounds like we are almost there.

My mom's CC at NVC was 4/14 waiting for interview slot at the American Consulate in Santiago, Chile.  Would like to fly down to Chile to be there for the interview and pick my mom up (I live in DC).  The timing of the tickets would be a challenge.

Hi.  I filed an I-130 in Sept 2016 for my mom who is from Chile.  She wanted to process in Santiago instead of here in DC.  Our NVC scan date was Feb 1st 2017 and just got the CC letter last Saturday 4/14/2017.  Waiting for interview slot at the U.S. Consulate in Santiago, Chile.  Any idea how long would it take to get that date?.  I would like to be able to fly down to Chile to be present for the interview, and then fly back home to the U.S. with her.  We did get a request for additional evidence (W-2 not submitted), but told to bring to the interview...  How long after the interview do you get the immigration visa packet?  I do not think Santiago is a heavy load visa post for immigrant visas, as they belong to the (tourist) visa waiver program; so they should be quick.  I am just trying to gauge the airline ticket timings ...

Any thoughts are most appreciated!

All the best to all!
