    Good morning all ☺️We were approved may 7, the visa was issued 8 days later on May 15. They then send the passport to a “fedex” like office for pick up. It still isn’t there. I know it will be any day, but waiting ...I can’t anymore! My wait meter is broken. Anyways- is this normal?? The office is literally 16 minutes from the embassy. Why is it taking 4 days?!

    For us (Dominic embassy) it went to issued then it needs to say ready...you can log in to the ustraveldocs website and see the status there it will show if it's ready for pick up or still at the embassy etc..

    Well, as an update, Kristina flew in Saturday evening, no problems. She received passport in hand Friday, flew in the next day. The flight was rough, it was her first ever, but all in all not too bad. Lots of tears on her part, but that's normal for her anytime she gets stressed. For anyone transferring in JFK, be aware that international to national flights must go through immigration, take their bags, take a train to another terminal, turn bags back in, then go back through security. make sure your non English speaking spouses are prepped well. Also, her immigration interview was conducted in English, even though she doesn't really speak it, but she made it through. They basically just asked her why she was here. She stated "to marry  Justin" while shaking and nervous, then they laughed, told her to calm down she was fine, then stamped her passport and she was on her way. Before the interview, they asked why she didn't speak English and she said "because I was stupid in school and I didn't pay attention enough" and they all laughed and the officer said "I appreciate your honesty". 

     

    On another note, she arrived here raving about how amazing her travel through JFK was, stating "never in my life have I seen so many happy people everywhere, everyone in America is so happy. When I cried, 2 different grandma's came to me, one bought me water, I tried to pay her but she wouldn't take the money. everywhere I went everyone helped me so much without even asking. America is not like Ukraine, it's not like Europe, people here, they are nice, they help, they are happy to help you".  I'll let that reflect onto everyone here, because even though she really didn't know it, even before leaving she had already received help from dozens of Americans that she didn't even know, out of the kindness of their heart, so I thank each and every one of you for that, for all the help we received during this process. 

    Congratulations and what a sweet story!!!

    The financial information and maybe a letter of intent is required from the USC. Check your P3 letter for the letter of intent requirements.  Some embassies require it others do not.

    Thank you!!! Yes I have my affidavit of support, paycheck stubs, and we will just write new letter of intent letters since we will be together better safe than sorry

    Question. 

     

    Do you guys know if they ever look at social media to prove a relationship? The reason why I ask is because me and her we don't have any pictures of us together on the FB. I visited her 3 times and we took many pics that we will bring them to the interview. But for personal reasons we don't have any pics of us together on her or my FB. She has her status as single and I have my as single as well. I wonder if they ever look at that and if that can be a problem when proving our relationship is real. 

    I have seen many people at least from the Dominican Republic interviews mention they have had to show social medias to prove with pictures together. My fiance and I aren't really big on social media so this worries me also. We post to each other and have some pictures together but it's not often so I'm in the same boat as you!

    Those who received RFEs:

     

    Were you able to expedite your response back to them or did you have to use the envelope they send with it?

     

    Are you able to get tracking on it?

    I upgraded to the 2 day priority ...I was going to do the overnight but I was worried about the envelope too. The priority two day doesnt alter the envelope size too much and it's a clear window so you can still show the uscis envelope with red writing attn RFE. It also came with tracking.
