Hi everyone!  I just wanted to share my fiances interview experience and give everyone an update because I'm so excited!! I'm hoping he sends over a more detailed review for me to post but I'll give an overview here ☺️

 

His interview was at 11:30 am and he got there a half hour early and they let him in the line.  Once he got his number and was called, he handed over his documents.  They only needed his passport, DS160, Affidavit of Support, Passport Photos, and Police Records.  We also had supporting documents for the Affidavit but he did not need those.  They asked him here "When are you planning to get married?"  To which he responded "As soon as possible, hopefully before the end of the month".  Then he sat back down and waited.

 

After a short wait (I think it was about 15 mins),  he was called up and spoke to someone new.  He only asked my fiance TWO questions.  He first asked "How did you two meet?"  and he explained that we met through a mutual friend in while we were both living in Madrid.  He asked if the mutual friend was in any photos that I'd sent in and my fiance looked at the photos and said No.  Then he pulled out a photo that I'd sent in of us at his sister's wedding and asked who's wedding that was.  He just said "That was my sister's wedding" and the man told him "Ok, you're approved".

 

And that was IT!!!! 

 

That was on Tuesday and today, our status changed to "ISSUED" !!!  We are so happy!  Thanks to everyone on here for all the help.  I'm happy to help anyone going forward!! 

 

YAY! ❤️

 

 

We were approved on the 26th.  Passport and visa are now in hand.  My husband will be flying in on Monday the 8th.  Like you the interview was quick.  We wish you good luck on the rest of your journey!!!

Thank God for today.My CR1 visa was approved today.I cant wait to get it and go be with my wife.Its been a long time coming.

Does anyone have an idea how long it takes to get a visa after your interview?

Congrats!  Ours was approved today also.  It has been the longest 361 days of our lives.  Can't believe it is almost over.  Good luck to you on the rest of your journey.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who is constantly checking her emails for updates. 👀 😂 I'm trying to be patient and hope I hear from the NVC soon. but it's so hard! I feel like I'm glued to my phone lol It took 8 months for our i130 to be approved, and now we've been waiting almost 4 weeks since USCIS sent our petition to the NVC. I just want the rest of the process over and done with so I can be with my husband 😩 How is everyone's process going so far?

No, you aren't.  We filed almost a year ago.  Our interview is on March 26th.  I was constantly checking my email throughout each stage of this process.  I read everything on this site only to find out everyone is in the same boat in this club.  This whole process is like being pregnant and then giving birth.  Some days are harder than other.  There are a lot of nice people on this site who will cheer you on when you don't think you deal with much more.  There is a light at the end of the tunnel.  Good luck with your journey.

Day 62 here my Fiancé’s senator’s office sent a congressional inquiry on our behalf yesterday. Hoping it gets an answer and not just a canned response @Wuozopo we used your questions thanks!! 

I have been checking on you off and on.  Got my fingers crossed and a prayer that things will finally start moving for you.  Our interview is on the 26th in London.  Would be my luck that I find myself in your place.  Sending you good vibes for a speedy remedy to this.

i just received a email from Embassy 

Please be informed that the Consular Officer has scheduled a new appointment day for you. You need to come to the Consular Section on the following day: 05 March 2019 at 16:00. Please bring your passport to enter the Embassy premises.

This may mean that they have excepted the new information you have sent them.  Good luck

Have you had your interview already?

 

Mine in March 1st, they only gave 10 days notice as I was notified last night. I thought wed have like 4 weeks notice?

I can only get my medical on the 28th Feb, which is the day before my interview ....😓

Our interview is on 3/26/2019.  Wish it was the first of March.  My husband did his medical a couple of weeks ago.  So, we are set with that.  I did have to send him all of the original documents, etc.  That is now in transit to UK.

I think you can see if you can reschedule your appointment by contacting the Embassy.  From what I understand they will try to work with you.  I wish you good luck.

So I got in from work and booked the 11th of March! I'm here, I'm here and alive. I'm just knocked for 6 with the seasonal cold 😂 

 

March can't come soon enough! 

 

Hopefully you get yours soon Cam & Thomas!! 

I am sure our time is soon.  It's nice to see things are starting to move for all.  Good luck on the last leg of the journey

Wake up @LukeU !! Where are you? March is open and you haven't said a peep. 🤐😂

Well, if you guys see Luke before I do.  Please tell him to sneak an appointment in for Cam & Thomas lol.

Is it normal for them to be skipping months/have they done this before ?! I hope that ain't the case 😕

I am sorry.  I was kidding.  It seems like they forgot the month of March due to the lack of appointments being talked about on this site.  Last month, every 5 minutes people were sharing they had gotten their appointment.

Does the interview date depends on the country where is the U.S. Embassy ??     

That seems to be a big secret at NVC.

Thanks, I hope they don't skip March. Overall, It's been a rough journey. Can't wait to just get over with it. 

I feel your pain.  Our 2 year old little boy's birthday is the 10th of March and I was hoping my husband would be here to celebrate it.  It's been almost a year that we started this and it seems like 10.  I am praying for everyone who waiting.

10 minutes ago, NMP said:

Any updates on March Interview dates?  Has anyone got a good news to share?

Like you.  Still waiting.  I think they are skipping the month of March.  I did speak to NVC late last night.  She said they are still assigning appointments.  So cross your fingers.

21 minutes ago, LukeU said:

For the K-1 I'm able to get in to the site and check yes. But I don't believe it is still the same for IR-1/CR-1 appointments as yours are issued 😞

I know they are different.  Right now I would like to see anyone get a March interview!  No one seems to be updating their time line.  I have to take that as they haven't been notified.  In your case, I wonder if they set IR-1/CR-1 first and then let K-1 fill in the open dates.  It seems to be a well kept secret at NVC.

20 minutes ago, LukeU said:

 

Appears to only be 3 days left to book appointments in February, which I'm hoping won't cause any issues if we just wait it out a little more for the March appointments to appear. I'm getting nervous now! 

I spoke to NVC late last night.  She said they are still booking appointments for March.  Are you able to get into the site to even look to see?

15 minutes ago, LukeU said:

I feel your pain. I'm not C1 as we've discussed but a K1 and still unable to view March. Let's hope for good news this week 🙂

Thanks Luke.  Got my fingers crossed for all of us who are waiting.

Any interviews for March?

Waiting.  NVC said they are scheduling appointments.  So far I have seen two March appointments.

Has anyone received a March interview date?   We cc on 1/22/19 and have heard nothing so far.  I have spoken to NVC and they say they are scheduling appointments for March.  But, I have yet to see any for the UK.

Where are the March interviews???  I called NVC today.  Spoke to a lady who sounded like she had something bad for lunch.  She said the are booking March interviews.  But, so far I have only seen one person who has gotten one.  Our case was complete on 1/22/2019. 

1 minute ago, LukeU said:

Yeah it's strange. UK K1s are able to book their appointments they're not allocated, but nothing showing beyond February yet

We are CR1.  The waiting is for the birds.  Good luck.  I am sure things will open up soon for all of us.

Hey everyone,

So I have my medical booked for tomorrow, we've been checking for a few weeks now and there's still no availability for March interview appointments showing up on the website.  (https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-gb/iv) 

 

Is anyone able to see available March appointments? 

We had case complete on 1/22/2019.  Still no interview appointment.  I called NVC today.  She said appointments are being made.  Tried to see if we were on the list.  But all I got was "  when your appointment is booked we will send you a e-mail."  So much for being helpful.

my husband called the consulate (casablanca/morocco) and they said that it takes 1month to schedule and interview , but they will work with the NVC.

Our interview will be assigned by NVC.  Hopefully, it will be soon.  Patience, we will all be with our loved ones soon.
