I got an approval by waiver today.. Am so ready to start life living together forever 🙏🏿🙏🏿🎉🎉🎊🙇🏿‍♂️

Not his Visa. That was voided the minute he land. It's his 551 Temp green card stamp in his passport that's good for a year.
He can work forever he is a LPR (Legal Permanent Resident).
 
Soon that will be your portion o.

Was wondering what's happening in the US consulate in Lagos Nigeria. The first interview was scheduled in March 18 this year.  5 days to the interview date, I got a mail from the embassy that the interview has been rescheduled to May 2020. Up till now, I have been emailing them, calling them on the phone without success. The cases are for my kids. I think is IR2 visa. Please is anyone experiencing the same? Any of the cancelled appointments rescheduled YET?

Hey fam. 
 
Good news just got my green card yesterday. 
 
This is amazing how God make things beautiful in His own time.
Got my GC just two weeks after my entry into US what would have taken 4months.
 
Delay is not a denial. Your set time will come next. Amen🙏 

This thread is awfully quiet. 
Doesn't help some of us who need positive posts to keep holding on.

Hi, I did my interview yesterday and I was approved pending my medicals which wasn't ready as at at yesterday.
However, on the ceac website - https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx?App=IV which i just checked my case is still showing "READY" like I haven't attended the interview. 
Is that normal?
 
 

My husband made it to the US.. We will be home Sunday

Good day everyone. 
 
I'm finally home in the US with my wife now. It was a smooth trip. 
 
God is faithful 🇳🇬🇺🇸👍🙏

Hi! My final post here.. made it to US on saturday.. good luck everyone ❤️

None of us wishes to spend another holiday apart. My sister is dying with gastro- esophageal cancer so on top of everything else, this is and continues to be almost impossible to handle alone. The stress of watching her suffer so incredibly with vomiting blood almost daily, and having to get blood regularly is unbearable for me without my husband. My health is suffering physucally and the emotional stress of all this has truly taken its toll, never mind the burdens of us trying to maintain 2 households. I am losing it. God please let them open the embassies soon,  I donknow how much more I can take. Prayers that my husband makes it here before my sister passes because seeing him in person is one of her most urgent wishes.

We were approved! Hubby is so glad its over, but he says he won't believe it until he sees it. 😂

I'm Debbie by the way.

Got DQ since March, interview was scheduled in April. The journey is exactly 2yrs 2 months today😭😭😭😭

I see a lot of people on here talk about involving their congressman. Have you tried this? 

So sad for them to keep families apart. Time watching your precious baby grow up that you will never get back......My husband and I have been in administrative processing since December 2017. Almost 3 years they have been just holding our case and telling us they are working on it.  They say they don't need anything else from us we just have to wait until they finish "working" on it. 3 years is plenty enough time to finish. My husband and I usually take vacation together twice a year.  This year we haven't been able to.  This is so depressing. We pray all the time that this chapter in our life end

It's been 1yr and 9mnths. For me, I feel the pain of being separated for long but as I type she's so depressed right now. Our daughter will be celebrating her first birthday on the 26th of August yet I won't be there to huge and celebrate her, it's a sad one. We requested that my case be expedited because of my daughter's birthday and the reply I got sounded like " It all depends when the US embassy in Nigeria opens up ". I believe that this waiting shall be over soon. I just have to keep encouraging my wife to be strong. 

Hello everyone,
 
My wife had her interview today.  It was originally scheduled for Aug 28 but we were able to reschedule for today, Aug 20, 11:30 AM Kyiv time.
 
The details:
 - She arrived an hour early and waited outside.  They eventually let her in at 12PM, after checking her temperature.  She said some others - students - were turned away because of high temperatrue readings. They were possibly sick, or could have been in the sun too long.  Wife sticks to the shades on sunny days so this wasn't an issue for her.))
 - She submitted her docs and waited inside for about 45 minutes.  The rest of the people waiting were students.
- A young lady coducted her interview in English.  5 questions:
   - How we met
   - Why she left the US (she entered last year on K1 but left due to family emergency.  We didn't adjust status)
   - Where I worked
   - When/where we saw each other after she returned to Ukraine
   - My first and last name.
 
The CO said she was approved.  CEAC case tracker currently shows AP.
 
I am so relieved.  We didn't have anything to worry about, but still I was a bit nervous.  I was up early when she texted that she was waiting outside.  She took her old phone with her  Now the embassy allows small things - cell phone and/or small purse - to be taken and stored onsite while inside for the interview.   Previously they did not allow any items to be stored and stated should be left behind.
 
Next is getting her a flight over here.))
 
Good luck everyone!

My wife is pregnant and due in October...
However, i'm still stuck in Nigeria and the US embassy here is still closed
Depression is gradually taking a toll on both of us...
I expedited but the embassy told me to wait till the airports are open..
I want to be there for her and the baby... Really don't know what else to do..

So in Romania we get our passports back thru TNT( FedEx). My visa was issued on Friday and it was also available for pick up on Friday. I just didn’t make it in time and TNT closed before I got a chance to get there. TNT is closed in the weekend so on Monday I went there and picked up my passport. I am already in the US now.

I just paid the IV fee online after getting my passport back. I didn't get a slip with details about how to pay the IV fee. I just went to https://my.uscis.gov/uscis-immigrant-fee, entered my A-Number (Registration Number on the visa) and DOS Case ID (IV Case Number on the visa) and followed the instructions on the site from there.
 
My flight is booked for September 25th to El Paso via Dallas FW, leaving from London Heathrow. If anyone else happens to be leaving from Heathrow that day drop me a message and we can rant about how stressful this process is while we wait for our flights 😂
 
I can barely believe I'm typing this, but after nearly two years since our NOA1, I can actually say WE'RE DONE with the IR1 process!
 
I honestly would've made a 100 more mistakes than I already did without the lovely, helpful and supportive members on this site 💙
Now I can relax for a few years before having to worry about naturalisation 😪🤣

So excited...my stepdaughter's interview just got scheduled for 9/15!!!!!! So freakin excited!!!! My baby girl can finally come home!!!!! 

You people don't even want to know how tired and frustrated i am right now. 
Whew, Long distance relationship/marriage isn't for the faint hearted.
 
I greet all my colleagues on the platform, hope you're doing great? Like they say there's light at the end of every tunnel... it will be over soon, just have faith and don't stop praying. The most important thing is that we're all healthy, including our families over there. Soon we shall reunite. Sending you lots of love, send hugs my way too 💋 Let me go back to sewing before my clients complain.

As you can see above are the several contacts we have made. The question is what do we do close to 2 years?
 

Just got back from my interview. I got APPROVED!! 
 
It was really quick, was in and out within 30 minutes and nobody else was there. CO was really friendly. He asked quite a few questions but it was more like general chit chat. He congratulated me on our anniversary today and told me to expect my passport back within 2 weeks.

I called my husband once I got out (at 05:30 his time 😂) and woke him up with the good news! I still can’t believe it’s finally happening and that I’ll be with my husband soon!

I completely agree. My husband's friend got his visa in March and then the travel ban. Then the virus hits, and they shut everything down. His visa will expire this month. It is a sad situation for all of us going through this immigration process. I miss my husband so much. It has been a year since we've seen each other, and it is so depressing. All we can do is pray they will resume services at the embassies soon. The got their money, but I doubt how we feel about all this  matters to them. God help us all!!🙏🙏
