Received interview letter today for my mom .
Interview date: Oct 1 (only 15 days from IL), CC on May 23
Interview location: Dhaka, Bangladesh
Didn’t receive IL for my dad IL which got CC on July 23. Really want to have their interview in the same date because for family based IR5 in general they schedule a single interview. Submitted expedite request but don’t know how long it may take since the interview is 15 days away only.
NVC kept saying before that these cases are linked together and should get the interview together but today I called they told may be the scheduler overlooked the other case :(. I know lot of other members also experienced the same!

Alhamdulillah! Boom! 
 
Got the long awaited interview letter today! 
 
CC- June 12th
IL- September 16th
Interview- October 15th, Dhaka. 
 
We'll keep you posted. Wishing everyone a swift end to this crippling wait! 

DQ June10,2019 .(US Embassy Dhaka )Received interview schedule for October 24

Alhamdulillah! Just saw my email and my hubby received his interview letter. Waited over 4 months! 😭
 
Dhaka Embassy 
DQ- May 14th 2019
IL- Sept 16th 2019
Interview- October 22nd 2019 @ 8am
 
All the best for everyone who got interviews and praying for those who are still waiting. Now one more last hurdle- the interview! 
 
 
 

We just received our interview letter!  October 18th, Montreal!  4 months and 2 days of waiting since Documentarily Qualified!

The Mumbai queue has started moving, at least for IR 5. My wife (DQ May 10) and I (DQ June 4) have received interview emails today for the same date - Oct 7. Some of you must have got it too.
Would anyone tell me: What can we expect in the medical? How to fix appointment for biometrics? How many days one should plan to stay in Mumbai? What are the questions asked at the interview? I suppose once a member gets the interview call, he/she stops posting on Visa Journey. I will surely post my replies once I go through the process. But right now, can anyone give me some answers? thanks.

We all have stories to share about our IMMIG lawyers. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Had our interview in Ankara today and we were approved! It was overall very smooth 

Tip: Log in each morning to the CEAC application center and top right will tell you location of your visa => will update from NVC to your Embassy the day you are scheduled and supposed to get IL. I think you can also update your email on the same page without impacting anything.
 
They'll probably send a big batch next week so don't lose hope!!

IL received today! Interview date October 8, CC August 16!

Hello,
 
Just wanted to give an update on my case.
 
I got approved this week in mumbai embassy. CC June 21st.
Petitioner my wife (USC). I had my case expedited. Reason pregnancy. We sent Doctor's Medical Certificate to NVC in July end as it was the beginning of her 9th month. I guess that is the reason the expedite got approved.
 
Then in august i got the chance to book my interview and the only available slot was September 30. I booked it and continuously kept monitoring if any other prior slots opened up. Fortunately, a slot for this week opened and i rescheduled.
 
So i had my interview and got approved. Unfortunately, i could not be there earlier for the birth of my Daughter.
 
Anyways the interview was easy. The CO was the very nice lady. Asked all the generic questions:
who is calling you?
what is the name of your spouse?
Love marriage or arrange?
who arrange the marriage?
when you do first meet her?
what is your spouse location in usa?
who is the joint sponsor?
where does he/shes lives in usa?
What is your relationship with the joint sponsor?
Where will you be staying in usa?
What are plans after going there?
What kind of job will you be looking for?
Where was the wedding?
 
How many people attended the wedding? Do you have pictures? I brought two slim albums of 40 photos each. She barely looked in there
How did your families know each other? What did they see in you to select you as their daughter's husband? How long your families known each other?
 
Asked me what was the reason for expedite? I told her pregnancy, so she asked when is the baby due? I told her the baby is born already.
 
Do you have your child's birth certificate with you? I said no, we applied and we are waiting. I also took video call screen shots of my daughter. I color printed out those screenshots. So i asked her if she wanted to see my daughter pictures and showed her. She was like this is good.
 
Then she asked questions about my time in usa. what i did over there, how long was i there for, was i ever out of status and so on.
 
Here are the tips before the interview:
Make sure you have the original civil documents and their photocopy, medical envelope and passport ready. 
Dress formally
Be there before time
and please smile.
 
Hope this helps
