Just wanted to give an update here. GC approved: 12/13. GC on hand is today 12/16. Hope more approvals coming to Nov 2021 ROC filers!

We received the letter today (1/24) that stated that the biometrics would be reused.  I also check the case status and it said that "fingerprints were taken."  

Finally received my green card today and it’s actually green! Just in time to be a nice Christmas present! We’re moving to Texas at the end of January and I’m planning to start looking for a job in that area. Good luck to everyone who are still waiting. Hang in there! 

We were married today!  Now the process starts for Adjustment of Status!!!  Good luck to all who are getting ready for your interviews, everything will go well!!  

We had the interview yesterday, and DHL just sent a message that the visa is available for pick up. I'm blown away by the one business day turnaround!

Me too !

Got my visa in hand today! 7 days and 4 business days after approval! 

Congrats!

We got approved today also!

Case has officially been sent to JNB Consulate - just waiting for a date now!  

Good News!!!    Received the email and text from the Consulate that DHL will deliver the Visa Wednesday before noon!  Our interview was  March 15th and were placed in Administrative Processing until we could provide the Police clearance.  The consulate received the Clearance on April 5th,  so basically 8 working days to receive visa after all paperwork was in. Flight booked for Thursday!!
 
 

Then all should be fine . Mine is next week Thursday, so I know how he feels lol. Good luck to you guys 

Interview booked for 13th June at Jhb consulate!! 🙌🙏😃 Note: we did the DHL-tracking trick to see when it arrived in Jhb, then called the consulate - they pick up pretty quick when you call (even answered when I called after 3pm). Asked me to wait for email with instructions, which I got the next morning. As I had already completed the DS-160 beforehand, all I had to do was make payment, and then booked first available interview date -> 13th June. 

So here’s what happened I’m the petition btw
we got to the embassy my fiancé our daughter and I around 12:15 sat and waited until one we were first in line. There was a protest going on so we had to use a different entrance. A lady came out and checked everyone in as well as looked at everyone’s passport photos to make sure they were okay. We went in they let us go before a lot of people because we had a baby. We went through security sat down and waited for our number to be called. When it was we handed in all of our documents (we were very organized I mean very we were complemented by everyone on our organization). So in one binder clip we had proof of payment ds160, passport photos, birth certificate, police clearance, our daughters US citizenship and her birth certificate. Then in the next clip we had all financial information from my joint sponsor and I. We handed in birth certificate, I-134, W2, pay stubs, employment letter. In the next clip we had all of our proof of relationship pictures letters of intent, flights, WhatsApp messages, letters of relationship support from my mother, my sister, his brother (his mom and dad are both deceased) a letter from me the petitioner expressing the dynamic of our relationship, and a thank you letter. She was like wow you just made my job super easy we sat down waited about 20 minutes and a young guy called us to be interviewed. He was very obsessed with our daughter and my fiancé’s language. He speaks xhosa and kept attempting to talk to him in Xhosa. He really didn’t ask us anything he basically just asked where are we going to live what do I do for work and when did we meet. He then just but everything back in our file and said congratulations you’re approved. I hope you make more beautiful babies. And we left. Please make sure you over prepare. Only two of us got approved others were completely missing documents and filling out forms incorrectly. I mean people who were married to their petitioner were denied and we all know how long it takes when you are married 

Finally approved!!!! Will update once I’m back in Cape Town. 14 months we are approved 

My fiance is going to do the same, rather be safe than sorry, I saw a few people meet the minimum required financial support and still get denied as they didn't have any tangible assets, like a car, house etc.. you don't want to come this far and have any issues, I mailed the consulate in JHB and they are cool with joint sponsors as apparently not all embassies are ok with that, I do speak under correction, I have just done a lot of reading regarding this topic specifically 

Hello ALL!!
 
So my fiance had his interview on the 7th and got his Visa in hand today!! So it took 8 working days. Just to give y'all an idea of timeline.

Good luck to everyone that have upcoming INTERVIEWS!!!!

I have my interview in the same day!
