I just rescheduled my interview to July 12 at 6:40 am (from July 20 at 7:10 am) since my fiance wants me to go to the US on July 30. I have my psych evaluation on July 5... Hopefully, I can get the results by July 10 and get vaccinated the same day. I can't afford anymore delays. Need luck on my side. Hooh, getting super close! 
 
I hope everyone is having a nice weekend! To those still waiting for updates, hang in there! I wish you all the best.

My fiancé had his interview today, June 26 and he was at the Manila embassy for roughly 3 hours. There were only 3 questions the immigration officer asked him. I was told the officer was a middle-aged Caucasian man who was intimidating but nonetheless nice and he speaks Tagalog too! His questions were:
 
1. So you two met while you were in nursing school. Why did your fiancé just file this petition recently when you started dating in 2002? (FYI, we broke up in 2011 after being in a long-distance relationship for 7.5 years and before DOMA was deemed unconstitutional so I did not file a petition back then, but that's another story). 
 
2. Where does your fiancé work?
 
3. Any wedding plans? (He just showed the email correspondence between me and the wedding coordinator since the wedding will be in Vegas and only my and his family will come. The emails (with the date of the wedding indicated) were our only proof that we plan to get married but he accepted it 😂).
 
So that's it. He will get his visa soon and I can't wait! I'm hoping everyone on this thread will get a favorable experience just like my fiancé did. This forum really helped me a lot prepare for this journey and I wanna thank everyone for your input. Good luck everyone! 

congratulations to you both! i hope the wedding is a success and lots of fun!!!!

Thank you!! 😍😍 hope u have a speedy process too! 

Mine got approved on May 5th. I called NVC yesterday (May 22nd) and the person I talked to provided the case number assigned to my petition and also said my petition was forwarded to them on May 19th. 

There's some sort of logical triangle of fast, cheap and good as relating to jobs and maybe other things...
 
Fast and cheap but not good.
Cheap and good but not fast.
Good and fast but not cheap.
 
In the government's case, as it relates to immigration. They don't fall into any of the categories. It's not good, fast or cheap. It's just a steaming pile of poo.
 

Newbie on this forum but a long-time lurker, and I'm stoked the petition I filed for my (same-sex) partner finally got approved. I was getting frustrated and losing hope because my case should've been approved by May 3-10. I thought my case had been sitting for 104 days. Weirdly enough, my approval notice came in the mail today and it got approved on May 5 (95 days from NOA1). Thanks to all who advised us to check our mails. 😊 Good luck and I hope for approvals for those who are still waiting to come soon.
