    Congrats to you too! We were approved on 6th, moved to AP on 9th and then to issued the same day. I had my passport delivered on 19th. so that was less than a week from the interview date

    Firstly, thank you for all the amazing advice on this forum. I would not have felt as prepared for my interview otherwise. I want to do a few separate posts on the petition, medical and interview. First, here is our timeline:
     
    03-Oct-2018 Petition filed (Filed in Texas)
    26-Oct-2018 Confirmed petition received
    .
    .
    Long wait
    .
    .
    .
    02-Jun-2019 RFE - Out attorney (which was the biggest waste of money) did not include the last page on our application form, her reasoning was it was blank. This was resent to include all pages. 
    06-Jul-2019 Petition approved and sent to NVC
    19-Aug-2019 Welcome email from NVC and request to complete DS260 and file supporting evidence.
    26-Aug-2019 Submitted (You may ask why the delay? Out attorney didn't have all the information together as we expected. I also stressed to her that we needed the tax transcripts after reading on the forum yet she submitted the application without.)
    03-Sep-2019 Request for additional sponsor information, tax transcripts and missing W2s (Frustrating as we provided this to these to the attorney)
    20-Oct-2019 Case Complete
    25-Nov-2019 Email from NVC and interview scheduled 06Dec
    29-Nov-2019 Medical 
    06-Dec-2019 Interview & APPROVAL
     
    We would have had our interview sooner, but there was several delays on the way because of our attorney. That's a whole other story though.
     
    We are just so grateful after a long wait we have now been approved and I can not wait to finally join my wife in the US to start our new life together. Good luck to everyone still on their way to approval, I know the wait can feel impossible at times.

    LorenSteele reacted to Tim & Tiff in Medical History for Knightsbridge   
    Quick question that i hope someone will be able to help with.
     
    Does anyone know how much medical history is required for your medical in Knightsbridge, London? The reason I ask is that my GP has told me I go back to 2007 on computer records which is no problem but they don't have the resources to add anything before that from my clerical records without charging me.
     
    If clerical records are required, do they just need a summary?
     
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi everyone, 
    We recently became DQ and we are waiting for our interview date. Is this something that we can schedule ourselves, or do we have to wait for NVC scheduling? Just wondering if there is anyway to plan ahead. DQ date was Nov 6th.

    If this is a spouse visa interview, NVC will pick the date.  K1 fiancés pick their own date in London.

    LorenSteele reacted to mogiftney in Administrative Processing?   
    Hello! So as you all know my fiancée was approved at her interview yesterday in London. However, when we check the CEAC case tracker online with out LND case number, it says “Administrative Processing” and has since her interview. It still says it today and it says it hasn’t updated since yesterday. Is she still approved?

    Hi - I am applying for I-130 for my spouse. the instruction said
    You must submit two identical color passport-style photographs of yourself and your spouse (if he or she is
    in the United States) so my wife is in oversea and I think I don't have to submit passport photo I guess. Please advice. Thanks

    I called USCIS twice and both times they said it was sent out and to wait 90 days!!  And I called nvc twice as well and they told me they didn’t receive anything yet but they said that I’m part of a pilot program from USCIS and that I can’t opt out of it.  Has anyone heard of a pilot program?  Getting worried that this will take forever!

    Finally Documentarily Qualified! 😄
     
    I just got an email - 7h30 EST, saying all our documents have been approved. We were delayed a week for having to resubmit docs.
     
    Our timeline was:
    September 14 -  Submitted all docs;
    October 28 - Two docs rejected, one being an editable AOS form, and the other, the tax transcript, made no sense.
    October 28 - I called NVC and complained about the tax transcript, and the rep agreed it made no sense and requested a supervisor review; he stressed I should not update the documents while the review was pending.
    October 30 - I called again, and a different NVC rep told me I could update the docs if I wanted to.
    October 30 - resubmitted the two docs. The transcript was the very same that had been rejected.
    November 4 - DQ - I'm assuming a supervisor review happened and approved everything.
     
    Yay!
