Hellooooooo....Yaaaaay another one of us!!!! We are very very very few in here. I know of a couple others like @Nameless and @FindHerKeepHer who have already been through this interview stage and are now with their loves. I too was hoping for an earlier date but I have accepted it is what it is and now it's the anxious wait for the interview and hopefully approval. 

Hey thank you it's good to know there are others who's been there done that, I'm getting ready to go for my medical the first week in October. Hopefully we could share our experiences.

Finally after weeks and weeks and on last day of my fiance visiting me here in Trinidad, I got my interview date(October 26th). Still nervous as hellbut it's so good to know a date. 

 

 

I tried so hard to find another Trini on here and I can't believe how close our interview dates are apart (Oct.27) at first I was abit disappointed that the date wasn't sooner but now that my nerves have kicked in I'm pretty satisfied with the date. Best wishes chica

Hey everyone, it seems like in order to get a packet 3 that you need to pay for the ds160 and schedule an interview. Is this true? I feel like I am asking the same question over and over lol this is what my status is on line. I want my fiance to pay the fee and submit the ds160. He wants to wait. Please help me!! I don't want to wait if I don't have to. People he know have waited weeks for an email even though the status says READY you can set your interview time. 

HI I went through that same experience, my status been on reasy since July 13th way into august an my fiance keeping saying we should wait but it was only when I emailed the Consular did they respond with packet 3. So I suggest email your  Consular.Best of luck!

Hey anyone on here from Trinidad and Tobago? Been waiting on the embassy here to schedule an appointment since last week Wednesday I know that's not really a long time but I'm so ready for it to be all over with.wondering how long again I have to wait..

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!!

Congratulations and all the best in your future together.

Good morning from Germany, Fellow Whiners!! 

For now, the last good news from here:

The doorbell just rang - I have my passport back! Visa in hands! 
 

Goosebumps all over, I can't believe it's done. It's really unreal. Got so trained in being worried that I still can't believe it!

YAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!

 

Whoop whoop congratulations! !

I got my letter of employment from my co-sponsor so looks like tonight I'm double checking to make sure I have everything ready to send to my fiancee next Thursday. I'm super excited for it... I know every step I get closer and closer to finally having him here and it's so surreal at this point. It almost feels like a dream. We've been together since 2015 and it's nothing compared to what most people on VJ have been together. I can't imagine how some do it for so long, but it shows unbelievable strength to keep the relationship strong since LDR's aren't easy. I'm just finally happy we can fully spend time together (longer than 90 days ) and won't have to countdown our days together. 

 

What a happy day it is! I stressed so long about finding a co-sponsor never believing I would even find one. I can't believe how far we've come. 

 

Does anyone know the best option to ship my papers internationally to my fiancee? I'm more nervous about my mail getting lost than ever. I was thinking USPS since I haven't had a problem with them delivering mail I've sent in the past. International scares me a bit though.

I could totally understand how you must be feeling .. .definitely more than 90 day together. My fiance used USPS first class and mailed out my stuff today.They've worked well for him in the past as well. Maybe someone else on here could tell you better.

Do you have an email address for your consulate? If you know their packet 3 requirements, and know they expect you to email it it to them, I would email them, but that's just me. It worked here in Canada... if you are patient, wait it out but I doubt I'll get packet 3 in the mail before my interview.. I know some people wait 3+ weeks before receiving it, or more, depending where you live. Do a search for your country and packet 3 and see what others have done?

Appreciated your response,  yes I know the email, think I'll wait one last week then hit them up. Thank you and best of luck.

Sent in packet 3 as soon as my status on CEAC said ready, and the very next day (today) received packet 4 instructions! Interview booked for September 6! Yay!

Really and mines been saying ready and I'm here waiting on a letter from the Consulate now I'm confused. Help

Thank you guys , my heart is warm tonight just knowing how anixous I been lately.. the journey continues 💪💪

oh how I wish I could just mail it to them while I await our NOA2 ,but as you guys said I'll  just have to wait...your input was received with THANKS

My fiancé didn't answer question 34a on the I-129F form he misunderstood the question ,however he submitted proof of meeting in  2 years .I fear the dreaded RFE ,however he believes that all his " stuff is on point" and that I would be asked to bring more proof during the interview stage and not receive RFE.
