Just wanted to jump in and give a quick update! We had our interview at the Chicago Field Office this morning. We dressed nicely, not fancy, but cute sweaters cause it was grey and rainy and gross, and dress slacks, and sneakers cause neither one of us is so vested in making a good impression we're walking 4 miles in Chicago in the cold and wet in heels! 😂
 
We walked in, went through security, up to the second floor and were pointed to the check in window by a very sweet, very cheerful guard. They asked if we were waiting on a lawyer or translator (no), then stamped our interview letter, gave us a receipt with a number on it, and told us to go sit by door 1. We got there at 9:11, our interview was at 9:30. By the time we got in, got through security, and got checked in, it was 9:25. At 9:36, our IO came out (not from door 1, I'd like to point out, but from the 'emergency exit only' door at the other end of the wall 😂) and called our number.
 
We got let into his office, and he had our file out and ready to go. He swore us in, and asked us to put away any electronics. (I'd brought my tablet with because finals are this week and every spare second available has been study time).
 
He started with me (USC), asked me my full name, DOB, address. Any kids? Former marriages? He asked for a copy of my divorce records from the previous marriage, and spent about 5 minutes flipping through them. (At that point he'd asked me my DOB three times, while flipping through the paperwork, and now this? I was doubting my own DOB, and wondering if I was still married to the jerk!😂) 
 
Then he turned to my wife, and ran through the yes/no questions from the application again. Are you a criminal? A drug runner? Did you tell anyone you were a USC? Are you working? Any kids? Any other marriages? After that, he took her picture, and index fingerprints. He asked me how we met (both transformers nerds on Tumblr), when we started dating (after we met in person, and realized we were both dorks that had been crushing on each other for almost a year), and when I proposed (when I flew halfway round the world and chucked a ring box at her head while jet lagged AF 😂). He asked her if she'd met my family (yes), when we got married, where (in the park, with a friend who was ordained overseeing the little ceremony. He got hung up on that for a minute, asking if we were married in the court house? no? In a park? By who? In a park? Really?). Asked if we'd had a celebration (not really. We explained we were going to have a proper ceremony and celebration on an anniversary after I graduate from the respiratory therapy program next year). 
 
He asked us for our birth certificates, passports, goverment issued IDs, then asked if we had anything to prove we had a bona-fide relationship. I gave him a copy of our joint bank account statement, a printout that showed she was on my health insurance, a cell phone bill with both of our names on it, and a handful of pictures of us together. He looked at them but didn't ask any questions about anything. He made a couple notes on the application and said that he was going to give us a receipt for the interview, and he would have to review our case and he'd let us know by mail within a month if there was anything else he needed from us, and did we have any questions for him? I asked him if he wanted our joint tax return for this year, and he said yea, if you have it. 
 
I gave it to him, and explained that it shows I made less last year than the minimum requirements ($333 less than the minimum....good job me), but that was because I had worked a single week at my old job last January as an independent contractor, and my school fried brain didn't even think when I filled out my schedule C and took my deductions. I had quit that job the end of December 2017, because I'd found a better job that would provide for me and my future wife, but I'd agreed to work that one week in January to help out. I had a print out of my bank account showing I had 3x that amount in my savings account. He took it all, said thanks, and led us back out. We went to a coffee shop, grabbed a bite, went back to the hotel and pack, and drove the 3 hours home. As we walk in the door, my phone dings an update on the USCIS tracker app. I'm thinking it'll say something like 'RFE has been sent' or 'in processing'. Nope.

5 hours from the time we left his office, to this update. It feels so surreal knowing that we're good for a few years now before we have to do anything else. I can't relax too much, cause finals start tomorrow, but still! We're taking a moment to relax and snuggle with the doggos that were certain we'd abandoned them overnight. Then I'll fill out my timeline, leave a review on the field office, etc, but for now, just some decompression and celebration! Fingers crossed for those of you still waiting!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Quick check in to say that today was my fiancée's interview at the Auckland embassy. She said it was quick once they actually let her in, she showed up early and they turned her away the first time. Also, make sure you have your interview letter, she said that they were turning people away in front of her that didn't have it. She said that when she actually got to talk to the CO, he only asked a few basic questions, what I do, how we met, how I proposed (she said she gushed about how cute it was, I'm dying from mortal embarrassment cause I was jetlagged and I dropped the ring and gave up and was just like 'uhhhh....so.....wanna get married? I mean, if you want? it's cool if not! No pressure or anything!'), things like that, then asked if she minded answering about if it bugged her that I was married before, and to a man. She explained that no, it didn't, that she and I both knew we were bi before we ever started dating, and that was it. She said she was told by the CO that she was 'approved but that's not an official answer as per rules' and she'll receive her stuff in 1-2 weeks, and that'll be when she knows for sure, and that her medical expires in October, so she'll have to be over before then. I'm nervous, from what I've read a lot of people are given an approval at the time of interview, but I don't remember really seeing any 'yes, but it's not an official answer' stories. ::quietly panics in the corner::

Then I definitely would not worry. If it was an outright decline, they would not have taken the passport.  Taking it and wording it the way they did sounds as though they are just waiting on something to be finalized, or perhaps some kind of paperwork to be received, before they can actually issue the visa. The 1-2 weeks sounds about right. You mentioned a concern with it become done before October, I believe it was, in your last post - I think it's safe to say you shouldn't have to worry about that being an issue.
 
For reference.. my fiancé's interview was February 22 (medical had been week before on the 15th). That was a Thursday. Embassy received his medical papers, which is what they needed before issuing his visa, the following Tuesday. He had his visa and passport in the mail that following Monday and booked his flight home to the states that week.
 
If you guys have monitored the status of your case prior to this online, you should still be able to at this point. I think his case still said something about processing, and then I guess it was whenever they received what they needed and approved it, it changed to "Issued" a couple days before he got everything in the mail.

I wouldn’t worry...might just be in administrative processing but I’m sure you’ll have the visa soon 

A wee update: we got married last night!  A simple ceremony downtown and dinner afterward - in the middle of a snowstorm, my fiancé's first (he's a fan already!)   We'll go file the license tomorrow, pick up our marriage certificate, and then hopefully get the AOS documents sent off tomorrow or Thursday.  

update: Recieved hard copy on 25th dated the 22nd.

I HAVE AN NVC CASE NUMBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

So, an update on my fiancé's interview yesterday:
His scheduled time was at 10am, and he got to the embassy at 9:30am...then, they didn't call him up until 11:30am - he was the last person there, apparently!  When he finally did get called up, it was a short interview (just like many have reported): how'd you meet, where is she from, what does she do for work, etc.  Apparently they were a bit confused as to why I had a co-sponsoring I-134 - my income is over the threshold but I put one in just to be safe - not necessary, I guess!  His medical from Monday hadn't arrived yet, but they said if it had they would have given him the visa right then and there.  Expecting it in the mail when he gets back home next week
