i am so happyyy but still angry that it took so long to get an RFE response/that our lawyers made a mistake in the first place! 
 
What a long and horrible process .. anyone still waiting your time is coming!! 
 
I called so many times and did not once speak with a helpful person. I do think it helped light a fire under them though. 

Hi all, haven't been here in a bit, but I just want to say congratulations to everyone that have gotten their NOA2/approvals and all the best to the people still waiting!
You'll get your NOA2/approvals soon too! Stay strong! ❤️

Hi octofriends!! Just wanted to post a quick update that my fiancé was approved in Montreal this morning. We are so thrilled and hope all of you are moving forward with your loved ones too! Thanks so much to everyone for being sweet and sharing this crazy experience together! Good luck to all of you in the future ❤️

Hi all day 277 of unending wait but optimistic🙏🏾🙏🏾 Love transcends all. I know one thing for sure "this will end whichever way"💪🏾💪🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Best of luck to everyone. 

Thats crazy!! Congratulations, i hope the rest of the process goes quickly for you!! x

Darn !  We got a call this morning saying that our interview date changed because of a holiday. Was set for August 24th now moved to September 4th. I guess I’ll have to just deal with it. Grrr. 

And another one approved. Congratulations. Smooth sailing ahead.
 
Now that you have your visa you can begin to prepare for the trip to the US and beyond. http://dennyeyberg.wixsite.com/filipino-am-visa/understanding-your-visa Start there and follow the tabs across. More tips to save time.

These are the exact questions that the consul asked me on my interview, except the kids part and parents name. 
 
BTW, I got my visa on hand today! I will be flying to the US on August 26, my fiancé will be coming on the 24th! 😍😍😍 LDR no more! Thanks again guys! 

Curious minds like to know what they ask at the interview. Best place to find that out is in your Embassy Reviews here on VJ.
 
If you select your flag in your profile it's going to open up to a page with lots of information. In the middle upper part of the page you are going to see "Quick Links" then in the list select "Embassy Review" and you will be taken to a page where you can read what others have experienced at your Embassy. I might invite you and others to take a little time to discover what tools are available to you here on VJ. So much that you are missing that would calm your nerves and give you the tools to predict the different timelines associated to different steps in your process.
 
If there is nothing there then I will give you a list to ponder. This list is not all inclusive and your mileage may vary.
 
-What is the name of your fiancé/e?
-Where did you meet?
-When did you meet?
-How did you meet?
-When are you planning to get married?
-What is your fiancé/es work?
-Have you gone out of the country?
-How long were you out of the country?
-How many times has your fiancé/e visited you?
-Where did you go when your fiancé/e visited you?
-Do you plan to have kids?
-Where do you plan on staying in the US?
-name and DOB
-what year did you meet
-How did you meet
-what are your fiancé parents' names
-your fiancé's employer and job
-have either of you been married before
-other countries you've been to
-do you have kids together
 
 
These are some of the questions but rest assure that all the questions will be about the petitioner, the beneficiary, and the relationship. Always tell the truth even if the truth is "I don't know". Don't rush in answering and give a straightforward answer. Look the CO in the eye when answering and smile. Don't give a novel as your answer. Just brief and concise. Don't volunteer any information unless asked, this could send you down the wrong road.
 
Don't forget to ask if you passed.

Congratulations!!! So exciting! Good luck with everything from here on out! 
 
My fiancé's interview is coming up on August 22nd in London as well. We're excited, but the whole experience is just a little nerve-wracking! Glad to know they seem to be nice in London and that the interview experience isn't too intense.

Our visa is ready for pickup. POE 21 Aug.

Happy for all you guys! Hopefully next month we'll be going through this process....still waiting on NOA2. 🤗

Thank you! They really didn't ask me much at all. Before the interview I was asked about having ever changed my name (no), ever married before (no), ever lived in another country before (no), but at the "interview" they asked me only this:
 
How did we meet?
Have I ever lived in another country before?
Where will we live? Will we have a house or an apartment?
 

I see. Thank you. I hope, mine will be that easy too 😊

Visa Approved!!  
 
Now for more waiting anxiety to see "Issued" I hope everyone else is getting on okay!

Congrats jkelsey and I know you are too excited. Will she be travelling alone there? My fiancee will be flying into Vegas  from Korea so she will be here on the 17th of next month so hope all is well and finally nice to know the long distance nightmare is over!  

Visa Approved. Thank you jesus and thank you to everyone for the support so far.

Had our interview today in Kievand the visa was approved, hurrah!  It’s a beautiful day.  We’d have been so lost and despondent without Visajourney.com. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for providing and contributing to this invaluable service.

      Posted just now Just got back from the interview, we are APPROVED!!!!!!!! Yesssssss.
 
It can take up to ten days to get the visa they said, can't wait to have my passport back and fly out.
    Quote   Edit

I’m still on hold pending security checks - day 296. I know it sucks and you feel like there’s no end in sight.
 
No matter how long the wait is, an answer will eventually be given.
 
Good luck to you.

Day 266 and still nothing. I called USCIS today and was given the same runaround. Wondering if anyone else is still on hold pending security checks? Im frustrated because they won't tell me if there is a problem with mine (petitioner) or my fiance's (beneficiary) background check. The reason I want to know is a couple of weeks ago he crossed the border from Jordan into Saudi to see his parents and was stopped. He was told there is a similarity in names. There is another man with the same exact name whose mother's name is the same as my future mother-in- law who is wanted for stealing. When my fiance followed up at the police station on the confusion, he was told not to worry about it since the wanted man was born in '74 and my fiance was born in '85. They have completely different national ID numbers so they told him it shouldn't be a problem. Im worried that this is what is causing our delay and if there is anything I can do about it. I contacted our local congressman today but the person in charge wont be back for a week. Do you guys think this is something they can help with or am I wasting my time? Im just getting so depressed without my fiance, I can't afford to go see him and the last time he applied for a tourist visa he was denied along with everyone else who interviewed at the embassy that day. I just feel so hopeless, it's getting harder and harder to just wait without knowing how long this is going to take. Is there anything I can do to figure out why we are delayed?  

Wonderful. Congratulations 😁

OMG WE GOT APPROVED!!!! CHECKED THE NEW WEBSITE RANDOMLY WITHOUT EXPECTING ANYTHING AND THIS!!! IM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW
