@waqsha Congratulations!!
 
Did they ask for the i-864, 2016 tax transcript and 2016 w2 at the interview

Hello everybody, is there someone who get a interview date this week ? This is so unreal ...Keep hope  maybe tomorrow  is our great day .

VISA APPROVED!!!!!!   
 
Thursday August 24, 2017 Pakistan Time
 
7 AM:  Arrived at Visa Seeker Shuttle Service.  University Road and 3rd Ave.  Bought Executive Class shuttle ticket.  
7:30 AM:  Going to embassy, they didn't have enough cars available.  So ended up riding in the air conditioned Coaster Bus.  10 minute drive.  
8:00 AM:  Arrived at US Embassy.  Went through security.  
 
Inside the Embassy...
Immigrant vs. non-immigrant applicants separated.   Directed to at window #11.  Interview letter stamped with token number.  Passport checked.  Took 2 passport photos.  Digital finger prints. Told to sit and wait.  At second window, original birth certificate, marriage certificate, and passport collected.  Including photocopies of these documents. Told to sit and wait.  At third window, interviewed by CO.  Asked what husband does for living?  Where does he work?  Whats your education background?  Where did you complete your studies?  Where did your husband complete his education?  Do you have wedding pictures?  Congratulations!  Your visa is approved.  You will receive call to pick up passport in two weeks.   10:00 AM:  Took executive shuttle back to station.
 
My wife also reports, Islamabad embassy was hammering other applicants on relationship questions.  Make sure your spouses know about your employment.  
 
CEAC website already says "ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSING."  Gives generic information.  AP can take several weeks...If your visa application is approved, it will be mailed within two business days.  
Hopefully, visa is issued by end of day today.  And will receive call for pickup.  

Thanks. Did you call or guess 

24 hours after interview, ceac still says ready.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

K short review of Auckland Consulate.
 
Arrived way too early and got told to come back 15 mins before my appointment. Went through security and they stored my bag with my laptop and phone. Handed over my smart watch too, though they said a normal watch would've been fine to go through.
 
There were a couple of people ahead of me but otherwise it was empty. Met B who handled the fingerprints and paperwork. She's got a great reputation judging by the other Auckland reviews and sure enough she was fantastic. I was a lot more nervous than I thought I was, she told me not to be and I thought I was fine, then I noticed my hands trembling when I went to give my fingerprints. Could've been the three coffees I'd had before the appointment since I couldn't sleep and got up at 4am. There was some initial concern that I might need some more documentation regarding my co-sponsors assets, but the interviewer ended up saying they won't need anything else.
 
Sat back down for about 20 minutes and got called to the interview window. Did the oath and then answered 3 basic questions. How did you meet your wife? Why are you wanting to move? and What do you do?. There were a couple of minor questions which could've been trick questions designed to catch out a liar, such as "oh you got married in 2016 right?" it was actually 2006. They could have also just been mistakes on the interviewers part, couldn't really tell.
 
I had a bunch of photos with me ready to show as evidence but it never really came up, and I forgot to offer them, didn't seem like they needed them at all. Was expecting it considering we didn't exactly front-load the initial application.
 
The interview probably lasted 6 to 7 minutes tops, and then the interviewer gave me the domestic abuse pamphlet, and told me to expect the sealed packet and passport in the mail in 10 business days after some 'final checks' are done. Then off I went, total time in the consulate was just under an hour, with most of it spent waiting for the two people ahead of me to finish up.
 
It all felt quite anticlimactic after 16 months of RFE's, Checklists, Senators, phone calls to Thailand, and Police Certificate confusion. So glad it's mostly over.
 
EDIT: CEAC still says "Ready" 7 hours after my interview.

Thanks! Good luck with yours. Your CC is coming your way, any minutes now!
Thank you!
 
Thanks! and Congratulations to you too!!
 

Yaaayyy! 1st SD 6/15, 2nd SD 8/14...
CC this evening. Supervisor Amanda came through! She called and personally reviewed our marriage certificate translation and said 'congrats, case closed'!

Thanks a bunch.

awesome! So glad it worked out well for you!! Now you just wait for the visa and your POE!!! Woo hoo!!  

Here's my review!
 
Had my interview today 
And it was approved!
Got to the embassy 6am for my 6:45am appointment. At about 6:20am, an officer came to address the crowd and asked the immigrant visa applicants for 6:30, 6:45 and 7am to form a queue with our appointment letter, after that, he asked that our sealed medical reports be opened  then we were asked to come in to be checked. Once cleared we moved toward the guy that assigns number, he confirms your name on the appointment list and then ask you to go towards the door to move to the next stage.
 
We had one more security check before getting into the embassy building.
I got in at about 7:10am and then joined another queue. Waited for about 10mins then it was my turn, so I went to the window.
 
The guy smiled and said good morning, and I responded with a smile also. Then he asked for my appointment letter , after handing that over to him, he asked me to bring out my original certificates ( birth, marriage and police ) and then left to fetch my file. Came back checked the originals, and then returned them back to me, but held on to the original police certificate. He then asked for my passport n two passport photograph. After handing that over, he returned the pictures my husband sent with the application and returned copies of the certificates also. He then asked me to go and that I'd be called soon...
 
Another wait began.......
After waiting for about 20mins. My name was called to come for finger prints. Did that and went back to my seat.
About 5mins later, 
The CO called my number, 
Walked up to her and she also greeted me with a smile.
And asked me to raise my right hand then she said "you swear that everything in the file is true and correct" and I responded yes. And she was like, then, let's begin but first, I'd need to confirm your prints again. We did that, then the interview started.
 
Who is calling you to the US?
How did you meet?
When?..... Month n year
Why did you marry in Dec.
What type of marriage did you have?
Do you have your wedding pictures here?
May I see them?
So what does your husband do?
Name of the company?
Where is it located?
How often do you speak?
What's the time difference ?
Either of you been married before?
Do you have kids?
Where do you live and have you lived any where else?
And then she smiled and said visa approved.
And gave me 3papers
1. Immigrant visa fee
2. Visa collection address
3.pamphlet that states my rights n all as a spouse of a US citizen.
And I was done!

In all it was a good experience...
And it seems the COs today were in a really good mood, everyone before me got approved! Except for an elderly woman and its because she didn't have her medical reports yet.

Visa approved!!!!! Thanks VJ for the support...
@JBMG thanks for the constant updates!!!..
 
Writing the review soon!

Welp, should receive my passport in about 10 business days with a shiny stamp in it. Will post review later on

Thanks JBMG, only 3 hours or so to go until my interview. Currently triple checking I have everything... let's do this.

Wow that is the most great feeling  in last months is in it 
Congrats ,congrats  and you know happy dance ....

Thank you!! I sure hope so! That would be such a blessing! 
That's wonderful!! Congratulations!! Hopefully I'm next!! 

Thank you. We will call NVC tonight to confirm. 
 
We just cant believe it because we are expecting a checklist because we fill out I864ez instead of I864. 
 
We didnt know and probably we didnt read properly as well that income outside USA doesnt count if it doesnt continue once we move to US. They might ask us to bring new form during interview instead. 
 
Im waiting for their email and see what they need but we are happy and grateful

Update: Case completed yesterday 8/22! Yay! I'm so over the moon I can't even focus on work now. Praying for all of you still waiting that you get a CC soon!

Hi! My scan date is 6/21, Today my wife checked the status and it says AT NVC.. I understand that it means CC? 
We read that if status says AT NVC it is most likely CC and when AOS changed from Paid to N/A.  But when she checked the AOS she couldnt find it. She can only see this DS-261 and IV. There is no line of AOS. It disappeared. It that the case usually? Thanks

I called NVC today and was told I got a CC yesterday. Scan date June 21. I'm so excited!!!

Yes, so when I login to CEAC the AOS stuff is gone. It says "at NVC" but I didn't get an email notification. I'm currently on hold with NVC. I'm just hoping that this means CC and I can move on to the next step!
