GOT IT!!!!!!! Wahooooooo!!!!!

Just received email from NVC that our case is in shipment and forwarded to the U.S embassy!

So Interview completed...I was in and out in 50mins...I got issued with a 221g as I need to send in a German police certificate I wasn't aware I needed but anyway the guy said I was basically approved once I send them that. So thankful for this site and all those who contribute to it. 😁👍☺️

I had my interview today and my visa is approved!!
 
 

Wishing you the best!

We had our interview today and were approved. Many thanks to @Greenbaum and the rest of the VisaJourney community. I never would felt comfortable doing the paperwork on our own without everyone's help!

Thanks for all responses.. Glad to have found this group. I have my visa and cfo sticker on my passport. We have booked a flight as well.
 

Update:    Greenbaum is home, recovering and doing well.
 
 

That’s an awful situation. Good of you to assist her

They don’t care where you get married, as long as it’s in USA and legal and before 90 days 

To my fellow April Filers, 
Our Visa was “issued”this morning 😊🙏!
I have faithfully followed this site since I first received my WAC number months ago and want to send a big “thank all” to all of you for all of your support throughout the process. 
I hope all of you our on your way and/or our approved now to be with your loved ones. 
To those still waiting, my prayers are with you with the hopes that day will be soon. 
I wish all of you the best and will see all of you soon in the AOS forums. 
It has been an honor celebrating with you at each stage while we have or our still awaiting on our Visas to be approved. 
Good luck on your journeys and please stay in touch 🎊🎈!

Start by reading the documents in the google drive, the link in the first post of this thread 

My two cents -
I think this is amazing and will help USC and everyone coming over.
I have posted a few times on this. Im not a supporter of either side but worked in healthcare for 7 plus years. 
Why would this be negative? My daughter is a USC just born and most insurance companies have a 30 day open window to add someone for the following reasons 
1.  Birth 
2. Death
3. Loss of coverage 
4. Marriage 
 
That window closes after 30 days on almost all health plans and than you must wait for open enrollment. 
 
I just added my daughter with no social security and Ryan will be added too. 
A social security number is not needed until one is issued by the the US. 
It takes upwards of 5 weeks sometimes for just a newborns so this is common practice for HR already and can easily applied to anyone adjusting status as well. 
 
I’m not sure people understand how catastrophic it can be if someone lands in the ER in the United States with no coverage. 
 
I say this as I’ve seen it first hand and 
”literally” no insurance can send you and your spouse into bankruptcy very quick and that wonderful new marriage into some major conflict. 
 
The only issue or maybe upside is it will force us all to be married on K1 very quickly to add the spouse but we should be doing that anyway IMO.  
 
I read the article but did it say when this actually will be implemented and at what stage we show this information? 

It won’t hurt to have a small sample of the chat logs. Better to have extra things instead of not enough 

Yeah that’s very unprofessional. Seems like they would have at least known the hours of the translation service. Or even better use a service that has working hours to accommodate all US time zones. This process is so trying 

The "wait two weeks" recommendation is outdated. All records are electronic now; it's almost certain that if you need manual verification two days after POE, you still will two weeks after POE.
 
We went two days after POE; no manual verification needed, card arrived within two weeks.

NOA2 9/9. Also waiting for case number 

I spoke too early. My case status just flipped to Non-immigrant - AP. Embassy also called me, possibly will be issued tomorrow

I use google flights to search. It has a nice date feature, allowing you to easily view what dates are cheaper.  Then book directly on the airlines website 

Thank you very much! He finally got his visa yesterday after much pain and suffering with back-and-forth between the embassy and Aramex. We double checked the visa and everything is correct thank God! His flight is scheduled for October 17 to fly in to Los Angeles and I am over the moon excited. Thank you for all your help 🙂 I may hit you up with some questions after he gets here if you don’t mind 

You should be ok. I would guess a couple of weeks at most. Could be quicker. I’d try calling them and ask what to do. 

It varies. Some as quick as 5-6 months. Others much longer. Hard to predict, certain situations do cause longer delays.
