Yes it's over  ..........

Let's do this guys, we should start seeing some interviews this week!  Good luck to everyone, especially to the ones who have waited for a really long time...   And retrogression for EB-2 ROW should be now over!

My hopes are that we will all get dates this week ,so lets see how it goes .  I wish success to all who graduated ..

Congratulations and thanks for sharing your experience. Hope everyone goes through such an easy interview. 

Ok EB applicants I know information on our process is not as easily available as there are not many filers in our category on here.
Unfortunately based on my experience there is little much I can add because I was at the "interview" portion of the entire process for less than 2 minutes.
Standard porcedure:
Went through outside security, then presented my passport and interview letter (P4).
After this, we went through airport style security and then were directed to the waiting room, which also is the interview room. There are Windows that you go to, but it is all in the same place and other people waiting can hear your side of the conversation, but they can't hear the CO because you use telephones to talk through the glass (kinda like the prison visitations that you see in the movies. So it would have been kind of uncomfortable to get a rejection in the presence of everyone...anyways back to the subject at hand ).
You hand in you civil documents to the staff at the first window, and they will sort and arrange what they want. Then I sat back down and waitied to be called to the "interview window" (the wait was approximately 45 min).
I got called to the window and the CO said good morning.
Actual interview:
CO asked me to do the biometric finger prints and then to raise right hand and take the oath.
After this the CO asked the following questions:
1. How did you find out about this job? Answered.
2. Where in the states were you previously working? Answered.
3. Do you have a copy of your degrees and practice licenses? I started to flip through my folder to get them but he looked at the NVC packet he had, and decided I did not need to produce them. 
3. He looked at all the police clearances and laughed and then asked "Is there anywhere else you plan to live? I smiled and said "No sir, just the states for now".
4. He looked up and said "Everything looks like it is in order. Come back next week and collect your passport and immigration packet". And I was free to go on my merry way.
I was honestly taken aback by how short this was. I was in and out in about an hour and a half. The actual interview was less than 2 min.
Notes for EB filers: even though your credentials are screened through agencies like NBME or CGFNS, It might be a good idea to bring copies of degrees, certificatons, and/or practice licenses just in case.
 
I guess there was not much to ask because all the supporting documents were already sent to NVC, and the visa screen pretty much verified everything.
Additional info:
CEAC website just said "AT NVC" from scan date to CC. It changed to "IN TRANSIT" after P4 reciept, then to "READY" when embassy received it.
After this, embassy contacted me via email with embassy specific instructions, and to bring an additional police clearance.
Sorry I don't have new info. (pretty much all this has already been said on this forum). Also I only got asked the three questions.
Port Of Entry:
 
- Coming soon!! -

Hanging there guys for a couple more weeks maximum...I hope green line2017 you get your interview date this week, and EB2 folks get their PD current soon. And everyone end up getting interview dates in the first week of September. My prayers are with you guys...  

You need a little bit more time. No worries, you'll get it shortly. Stay positive and hang in there!
By the way my CEAC page  turned to In Transit today. As you know, unlike to other visa types, EB petitioners page is at NVC from the beginning, it is quite exciting to see that changed to In Transit :). I liked it!

Yes sulu, you will be asked to add apostille stamp.  Most especially when they find out its for American embassy. Though It's a matter of choice , you may still insist you just want to translate the documents and have for your record. A friend of mine did that when he translated his Turkish police report at the ministry,  first they asked for apostille, he insisted that he wanted them to translate only. He never had issue on that, with the embassy. 
So since those documents were issued, translated in your country, sent to NVC and petition approved, use it and don't bother translating again.

We were approved , below is my experience for EB consular processing. 
 
We were up and early at the Mumbai Consulate General Bandra Kurla Complex(BKC) on a balmy 30th December 2016. Ushered in quickly through to the immigrant visa section.The number of people were much less than I had expected. The Non-immigrant sections was flooding in with hundreds of people even as the immigrant section was seeing only around 20 people at most and almost all appeared family immigrants. I saw newly married wives convincing the consular officers in what appeared like a newly put on American accent on how much they knew their husband and how much they loved them. ?  ?  ?  Then there were also many elderly couples and large families who were looking to immigrate. 

We were issued tokens by the greeters and our first stop was an Indian consular officer who brought our NVC file out of the cabinet.He returned some unnecessary filed paperwork(remember Name spelling and Priority date change paperwork??) from my file back to us. He asked us for my originals and quickly returned them after verification. He then tore open the teal colored medical envelope/s, looked at reports and placed them in the file.The X-ray CD's were not required and hence I left them at home.Consulates do not allow CD's anyways. He retained the original police clearance , and the original copy of the new one month validity employment letter and put it in the file and asked us to go back to the waiting area.We waited and watched as all members of some families were grilled one by one for over 25+ minutes by consular officers in the adjacent windows. 

Around 15 minutes later our number flashed in the interview booth and the interviewer was a beautiful young American lady. She quickly looked at my file first and asked the below questions.

1. Who is calling you ? 
2. What do you do now and where ? 
3. Tell me about your previous US trips ?
4. Where do you intend to land in the US ? 

My interview was done in 4-5 minutes of which most of it was her looking through the file and typing. She also mechanically validated the dates of the employment letter(1 month) and police clearance (1 year) and circled them off in ink. 

She closed my file and then opened my wife's file. My wife too had US travels from her organization which were independent of mine. She was asked the below questions.

1. How did you meet your husband ? 
2. When did you get married ? 
3. How many people came to your marriage ?
4. What do you do in India ?
5. What business did you have when you traveled to US ? 

She was looking at the monitor and was mechanically entering stuff while asking questions. She then looked at me and gave me a small piece of paper asking me to sign it . It stated in a few lines of text that I promised to work for the employer who sponsored my visa. She then said "Sir, your visas are approved, have a nice day" while giving me the below paper. Process took 10 minutes at most. Very light questioning when compared to grilling that family and marriage immigrants were receiving.

Hi,  eb 3 OTHER worker 
 
It all went well, and we were granted visa.
Following are some of the questions:
- Who is you employer?
- How long have you been working for?
- Would you go and work for same company?
- Why did your employer file your GC?
- Where are you living now?
- To my wife: Are you working, which company?
- How long have you been married?
- Any photographs?
- Where was your marriage, how many people attended the marriage.
- How old is your kid?
 
 Thats it, pretty straight forward.
 
Best of luck to others.
 
Regards
