I am really hoping for May and July to be squeezed in October ILs. Two years is a long time. I have aged through this process :/

I just wanted to tell my story. So here it is
My husband had his interview at Ankara Embassy, Turkiye. Everything was great except the VO got our co-sponsor household . The co sponsor was my dad. He was given a white slip saying find a new Co sponsor. We were absolutely crushed and left in shock as well as our attorney.  We gathered more evidence up to prove that the household was only three and that my father made more then plenty to sponsor him. We wrote a cover letter explaining the guidelines ,along with a copy of the poverty guidelines. We resubmitted everything and emailed the embassy. In just one day we recieved an email to send his passport along with the co sponsors tax papers and aos. In just two days we recieved the email saying he was approved and now has his passport in hand all within 5 days. If you know the visa officer made a mistake then address it. They are only human. He will be coming by Oct 15. Good luck to everyone out. This visa journey is now over.  I'm so happy and will continue to pray for those of you still waiting. 
 

InshAllah, I hope so too..
And the same for @Kartineecartoons

UPDATE: My husband and I (together with our dog) entered the US this past Friday September 27th.
 
Our flight arrived in Miami at 4am and during that time immigration was empty! It only took us 20 min for the immigration officer to  process my husband immigrant visa (IR1) as his package was all electronically.
 
We had a productive first weekend together in the US! Bought a car, got both a cell phone line, etc. Now looking for our permanent location where we want to live! (Our employer gave us 2 months of temporary housing here in Miami).

Attaching a pic of my dog and I during our flight to Miami!
 
Wishing everyone the best of luck! 

Interview date: Oct 1
Visa approved for mom & dad.
Consulate: Bangladesh Embassy, Dhaka
Received IL for mom on Sept 16 (CC May 23) but didn’t receive IL for dad(CC July 23). Submitted expedite interview request for dad's interview. NVC processed it in a week ( Emailed NVC & Embassy back & forth which really helps). Finally received IL for dad 4 days before interview date, did medical and finally visa approved!
Thanks visajourney for all your support!

He was approved! Happy tears!

Omg! He was approved! His Visa will be mailed to him I. 5 business days.. yay.. 

I’m still here waiting for IL. 

Lol, I’m just not awake. They missed half of May (15-31) and cleared out June 1-July 1

Good luck! It’s getting close!!! Yay!

I’m so ready! I’m flying over to him this coming Saturday and for the most part I’ve packed. I’ll definitely report on the experience!

Medical for Delhi cost us 9000 and vaccinations were an additional 4000. Others paid 16000+ so id say the price isn’t too far off

Thank you ! Your previous reply was helpful too! Good luck for the interview  Time to bring home that approval!

thank you for the reply. Took an appointment for new pcc. 

What I found on the internet so take with a grain of salt regarding Indian PCC:
 
PCC mentions your File No and your passport number. If you reissue your passport after issue of PCC then passport number changes. You have 2 options going forward:
1. Elaborate to Immigration officer in Letter of Explanation about your passport update. The new passport has old passport number written on it. It would be at the officers' discretion to accept this request.
2. Get new PCC on updated passport. matter of another 500/- this time you get your PCC upfront as you recently updated the passport

I did! on Sept 12
next batch of ILs will more than likely be Oct 10-ish

I never uploaded chat and/or call log on CEAC, but i did take random couple days of Video chat screenshots, call log and chat log of the months we were not together (it took like 22 pages all together). But the VO never asked for any of it.
My suggestion would better have it and not need it rather than not have it and then need it.
Good luck.
 
Here is the link where you can make collages. It helped me a lot. I added like 9 screen shots and took a printout. You can save lot of pages by doing this.

My daughter-in-law had her interview yesterday and was approved.   

Some comments from her:
1) A lot of the non-English speaking people seemed to have been called first.   My DIL was one of the last people to be interviewed.
2) Most interviews were short from what she observed.   Some were as long as 25-30 minutes.   A few were rejected as the CO wasn't satisfied.
3) Some questions asked to my DIL were:
        a) Who's calling?
        b) Was yours a love or arranged marriage?  If arranged, how?
        c) Where will you go once you reach US?
        d) Do you plan to work?  What will you do? What is your educational background.
 
She was then told her visa was approved.
 
Thanks to everyone in VJ for the great support & feedback thru this arduous process.   Good luck to everyone waiting for the visa interview.

my attorney advised flight itineraries, social media posts, gifts received (taking pictures of them).
