Hi - the payment was done last year. Their arrival had been delayed due to some personal reasons.

Thanks, that is probably it, they paid theirs way before me thats why they got them earlier, I will keep waiting.

Thanks again!

Update: My parents' GCs have arrived - mom's arrived on Friday (24-April) and dad's today (Monday, 27-April) - so that's 6 weeks from their entry into the US. No sign of SSN cards yet. Likely will have to go into the SSA office once the lockdown is lifted. Will update if we see any other movement. 

May I ask when did you or your parents paid for the GCs? I am still waiting for mine to arrive and I got into the country March 14th..I did paid them Feb 25th.

Thanks

@susieQQQ

I would not be able to confirm if the statistic is true or not but that's what the agent over the phone informed me, I would be a lot happier if he is incorrect, though.

I am in the same situation I arrived into the country March 14 and still have not received my SSN card, I called my local office and they said it's not new for them to get these inquiries that only 50% of the times it works when you check the box on the DS260.. they also said there isn't much I can do but to wait since all office are closed around the country.. that if I did not get the SSN card within 3 weeks I am not gonna get it, I need to go personally to an office once its open.

My 2cents!

Well, after a LONG wait I had my interview yesterday and got approved! Now, waiting for the passport to arrive.

Thanks everyone for their suggestions and help, much appreciated it!!

Please I need your advise, I just found this forum even if I so much wished I did several years ago because I have been all alone on this journey. Anyways my PD became current last year after waiting over 7 years. Submitted all required documents and finally got an IL for next week in LAGOS NIGERIA(Just a day before the travel ban 😕) . After my PD became current last year God blessed me with a beautiful daughter by my gf. I know it doesn't say I can't have kids but I want to know the best way to answer the question if it comes up because she was about a month old when I submitted my Ds260 and I included her in the form. 

 

My category is F1 (unmarried son of a US). 

Not sure I understand your question, are trying to say what will the CO say because you have a daughter?meaning that it will hinder the approval?

It's embassy specific. Spousal visa priority no. US Citizen priority yes. That's why you see many embassies have scheduled but F category not. Because possibly because they had more lots for US Citizens.

Just like all the other classes each embassy have a certain # they will have scheduled for that day.

 

Like Holiday season and summer break visitor visa, Student visa and Business visa get more slots because that's the peck season so there are less Immigrant visa slots available.

Sounds good- Thanks for the response! Thankfully I got the IL today!

I agree, I plan on completing a detailed review once my husband completes his interview and add suggestions. Things might not change but I would like to think that our opinions will matter in the future.

Congrats!!! which country?

I completed the process almost 1 yr ago (April, 2019) under an F2B (adult son of permanent resident) The interview went pretty smoothly, lasted like 5min.  They just asked basic questions, jobs we both held in the US? How long we had been employed for? Etc They allowed the petitioner (my mother) to be at the interview as well, which was nice. 

Awesome! Thanks for your prompt response! Today I got my IL so my interview will be Feb 24th, did not know parents could come in, probably will have Dad come down to see if he is able to get in.. Thanks again for your answer if something else pops up I will ping you for feedback!

Hi there @ALL

Does anybody here have gone through the interview process under an F1(Adult son of US Citizen) visa category? 

Thanks!

@dwheels76

I  am curious about the interview allocation process, not sure if you have answered this question before but thought it was worth it asking, does NVC  have any prioritization of scheduling interviews based on the category of the applicant? meaning do husband's/wife's get interviews faster than any other category?

Thanks

Morning, so I called NVC this morning to ask if Jamaica was done scheduling, the agent I got told me that she doesn't know if Jamaica has finished scheduling, she can't see that but assured that we will get the email immediately as soon as the interview becomes available. She also said there's no timeline for getting the interview.  

So I guess not every agent can see certain things, but this still leaves me feeling positive.

I called in today as well, I got kind of the same answer, however, I was told that my embassy is still scheduling interviews during this month, that they (NVC) have not receive and email stating that the embassy will stop opening slots.. 

@dwheels76

I've been current since Dec 2019, so I guess continue being patient ,hopefully will get the IL soon , thanks for your prompt response.

@dwheels76

Hi!!

I have gone through the spreadsheet,however, not many cases from my country to compare against to.I was DQ 12-16-2019( F1 category).From your extensive experience what have you heard about Costa Rica's embassy scheduling interviews?

I appreciate your feedback!

Thanks

Hey Fellows...

I've been waiting for my IL since Dec 16th.. as everyone else it's been an extensive journey.. in my case since 2013!! the embassy in my country is not a busy one.. very few people immigrate.. crossing fingers I will be getting that letter next week!

Good luck to everyone here!

Hi folks,

I am a F1 (son of US Citizen) applicant, after a couple of submission to CEAC/NVC- I got DQ Dec 16th, I am waiting for the IL to arrive, hopefully soon!

Thanks

@OneHappyMamma 

Were you able to resolve this issue? I am facing the same issue.. it started this last Friday, documents accepted on Sept 9th now are showing as "Missing" and Accepted at the same time in CEAC..

You will need to submit DS260 for the principal applicant and derivatives ,if any,, affidavit of support(financial evidence) and civil documents.

My PD is (F1-ROW)April 30 2013 and I received my WL a couple of months ago, I sent all required documents, I am still waiting for NVC to review all I submitted and give the approval then the IL.

Hi Fellows,

My PD is April 30th 2013 F1(ROW), I got WL in July, finished uploading all documents and paying fees 3 weeks ago, waiting for NVC revision.

Any one here in the same path?

Thanks
