J&B

I struggled to no end with SSA and on two occasions either my case was updated on SAVE or an action was taken to initiate another level of verification, both times coincidentally the day after I call.   

I never let a day go by without checking the app. Today I was so busy and completely forgot. So now when I got into bed I checked and it said new card is being produced. Will update my timeline when I get my letters and card. I hope that it is soon. 

Could someone tell me what the old site vs new site is? 

@KatziGuthmann was your application expidited? I'm much more in the dark about the green card, EAD, and AP process  than I was with the initial I-129F filing. I guess it's cause this application is field office specific. We share the same field office, Seattle. In fact my husband and I live down the road from the office (so lucky:) In any case it seems that you filed about 15 days before us. If that's the case, is there reason to think that I'll have my interview soon as well? 
 
Also to everybody here, is there a way to do a search for those people/profiles on VJ who have gone to interviews at a specific field office?

Just sent our package today
finally
so lets hope for fast processing of our cases
good luck to everyone 
 

Hey all! 
 
We went for the visa interview yesterday in Seoul, South Korea and was approved. My fiancé was there with me and the interview itself took about 5mins. I'll post more detail on my timeline. 
 
I do have a question though. My fiancé and I both live and work in South Korea. I know the visa is valid for six month from the date of the medical. I also know that we have to get married within the first 90 days of entering the US. That's no problem since we have set September 8 as our wedding day. That's less than two weeks after POE. My question is about AOS. Do I have to file for adjustment of status before the medical runs out on  October 11th to not have to repeat the medical? Right now my vaccination worksheet says that I voluntarily completed all the required vaccinations. That should be enough not to do another medical in the States right? We are obviously trying to save as money as possible by planning ahead. Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks all!

That's fantastic news. Hope you guys will write about her experience in a bit more detail at some point. What questions did they ask her? 

WE GOT IT!!!!
My fiancee said the process was very smooth, but she had to wait a while. Total time was about 2 hours...
 
she's coming here in mid may! FINALLY!!!!!

@Naes Congrats! You've been invaluable in the process for so many of us. I hope you can find some rest from your anxiety. Take really good care of yourself. And don't forget to celebrate!!!!! 🎉 

@enfinity83 our case reflects ready this morning. It took about six days as well. Now let's see how long it takes to receive packet 3 via email.

Finally got our passports with visas, going to flight to my fiancé on 11th, wedding on 15th!! 
 
Thank you for every ones’ support!! 

Did you keep a copy of the original I-129F you filed? Looking at your timeline and when you filed and then looking at what they are asking it seems like the standard question about where both the petitioner and the beneficiary have worked in the last five years. So I think you might have left that portion off of the form? Also you still refer to the G325A which makes me think you completed and old form? It seems from the RFE that they are only looking for a record and not proof. So just go ahead and list your places of employment, with te addresses, and start and end dates. 

Hey guys, 
 
NOA2: March 15
NVC Received: March 30
Case # Assigned: March 30
 
I was also told that I am "one of these electronic cases" so I should call back and press 5. I asked the agent who told me this what she means and she said it means I have to upload all visa documents electronically. Then I called back and pressed 5. I asked the guy if it means I will have to upload all docs online and he said no. He explained that the embassy will still handle everything and I should follow their lead.So I don't really know what it means to be in the electronic group.

@Naes, 
 
Take two days off. You deserve it. You don't owe anybody anything. I for one also looked forward to your scans before my approval, but never expected it. I was deeply appreciative when you did them. I don't think anybody expects of you to do it. I am sure I speak for most people here when I say we give you permission to take a break and be good to yourself. Berries, can I get an AMEN?
