I had my interview today and I got approved!

Thanks everyone for your help and your suggestions. It seems like I'll just have to be extra careful. I appreciate the quick response and I just want to say thank you again to everyone here on the forum for making this process so much easier. Very excited to do the interview!!!

Thanks for sharing @Vickys_Mom - Unfortunately I do not have a KTP. I'm European so I don't think we are issued one. I was just curious in case they did keep it and I would need to prove that my passport is with the embassy it would be nice to have something in writing to confirm this.

Hey all, I've got my embassy interview next week and I understand that if things go well (fingers crossed) the embassy will keep my passport and send it later via courier (something I have already registered for). My question is this: Will the the embassy issue a receipt that they kept my passport? I ask because I live in a country where having my passport on me is important for ID purposes. Any answers would be appreciated. Thanks

Update - I just did the health check up and it went fine. It took a few hours but the doctor was very clear with her explanations. They said that the information would be sent directly to the embassy so now all that's left is my interview in 2 weeks!

Yeah, we're super happy. The DQ date was Dec 22, which was less than 1 month after we sent in the DS-260 with the AOS The embassy is Jakarta. Doing the medical test next week . Hope everyone gets good news soon!

We just received an email from NVC to tell us we have an embassy appointment date in February 😁

Happy 2024 everyone! We started the year off with positive news too. We got a message from NVC saying we were DQ. Now we're just waiting for the consulate date and to arrange the medical. It only took a few weeks after submitting the DS 260 and the financial sponsorship info so we were a little surprised. Does anyone know if we need to schedule the medical ourselves after we hear from the consulate or should we do it earlier?

Thanks everyone. Your advice helped a lot. In the end I did it through the NVC using their public inquiry. It was relatively quick all things considered.

Hey all, I hope this is the right place to ask this question but I would love to hear some advice. My wife (us citizen) filed the I130 online last year for me and now we're waiting, as expected, to hear back from them. The thing is, we filed while both of us were living in Spain and now we just moved to Indonesia. Her mailing address didn't change because she used her US address but now we're wondering how to change and if we have to notify our/her/my change of address? We tried to do it online through the USCIS website but it would only allow for changes made to a US address and that didn't change. So should we wait to hear back from USCIS? Should we file a different form? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. THANK YOU!

Hey everyone, Just filed I-130 and I-130a online and we got a notification of receipt on USCIS that I believe is the NOA 1. Now starts the long wait for NOA2. I hope it's not too long but I know that realistically we're looking at a wait for about a year. Fortunately we're lucky and we've been living together (out of the US) since we've been married, so we won't have to do long distance anymore. It looks like our case was sent to Nebraska which I hear is a fast one? I noticed that there isn't a thread for Nov 2022 filers yet so I figured this one could be it. Stressing out Waiting is more fun when it's done with others who are in the same boat
