My interview is finally over and done with!!! 
 
Our interview was at 11.45 and we got there for around 11.30. We signed in and waited around 20 minutes for our number to be called. A nice lady greeted us and walks us around to the interview room asked us how we were etc. In the office we were sworn in. She confirmed the information on our forms such as my name my husbands name, DOB, address etc. Then she went through the generic questions like have you committed murder etc. Then she asked how did we get to this point (relationship, marriage, moving) so we told her our story and she laughed and smiled as we told her and she thought it was funny that we met whilst playing GTA on the Xbox 😂. Then she asked my husband where he works if he still works there, she asked who attended our wedding and how my parents felt about the marriage. That was it! After that she just asked for anything we wanted to add to our file so I handed over a bunch of documents and then she asked if we had any questions to which my husband asked about what i need to bring with me to travel (I already knew the answer to this but he didn't) she said just your passport and greencard. At that point she stood up and smiled and said okay that's every thing and my husband laughed and jokingly said wait aren't we going to be separated and questioned and she laughed and said no that takes to damn long 😂
 
So from that I'm assuming I've been approved but just waiting for my case to update. All in all it was a really nice experience and felt just like a conversation 😁

Got notice five minutes ago.  Approved!! 

That is so exciting!  Happy for y’all. 

So sorry to hear this news.

So we broke up...like all the sudden today ....he changes his mind about the ticket and says there was no agreement

I would certainly call USCIS and discuss with them that the documents will only be a few days late and plead for an extension. If they don’t then they are just plain a’holes.  I would t give up just yet.

Congratulations!  Very happy for you two.

Sorry you had a bad experience with the lawyer but I still think it probably helped get your case noticed quicker than without one.  Your NOA1 was just a few days before ours and we are still stuck at stage two of this process.  Most couples that have filed around the same time we did already have visa in hand with many already married.  In my honest opinion, still; we should have obtained legal counsel from day one.

Congratulations!  Very happy for you two.

Congrats!

Visa approved!!!!!!!!!!!

I got both visas! Flying out on Friday

Congratulations!!!!    I'm happy for you both.

So I Had a call back in the works since I saw the letter in informed mail...on my way to the infopass they call....APPROVED !!!!!!! 5 days ago.... I tearfully thanked the rep and went home.....finally I can breathe
My fiance knew about everything....and he went drinking with his friend...I think he got too anxious and now I can't get hold of him....

Got notice five minutes ago.  Approved!! 

Congratulations!  Excited for you.

My thought are with you.  Good luck.  I swear it feels like family after what everyone has shared in their experience on Visa Journey. It has helped so much!  Though it had been a long journey to get where we are today, I honestly can’t say I would have a single hair on my head if it were not for everyone’s support on here.  Thanks so much to everyone. 

I’m sure this questing has been asked a thousand times, I’m just lazy to go back 4,000 posts to find out. How much time should we give between the medical exam and the interview date for Philippines?  I’m sending my fiancé to Manila and was hoping I could keep him there for the week or so duration. Traveling to Manila is not just costly but hours and hours of travel time. Thanks for any advice.

Day 235 waiting for NOA2.  Called and talked to Tier2.  Feeling slightly better when the officer reported that our file was being looked at.  Hope we get an approval soon.

That is great to hear.   Congratulations!
