Well, finally we are done with AP! :dance:

My expectation was 25-30 days but it took 34 days! but don't forget that we had the holidays! I believe the 30 days is the limit for most of the cases!

That is also reflected in the table. Just last year, more than 4000 cases were cleared (They were in line for more than 33 month!).

but this year, 3 month has been the maximum wait time. I have attached the table to my first post. That is a good news for me, at least I know that the AP would take not more than 3 month!

I don't know about not taking more than 3 months, because my Mom was placed on Name Check for 4.5 years and no one did any thing. until we took USCIS to Federal court and sued them.

I wanted to know how long a name check process take and I found "Citizenship and Immigration Services Ombudsman" report. There is an interesting table in the report that shows no clearance has taken more than 3 month (as of may 2009) and that the majority of the cases were cleared in less than a month! (I am not sure if AP is the same as name check!). I also have spotted a few people in this website who were cleared in 25 to 30 days.

If you got a chance take a look at the pdf file.

The original report can be find here: http://www.dhs.gov/xabout/structure/gc_1245421061224.shtm

Congratulation KGH. Wish her a quick and safe trip.

Here is what I have seen on Ankara website:

IMPORTANT REMINDER REGARDING MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS

Medical examinations classified as "Class B (TB)" are valid for 3 months from the date the doctor signed the report. All other medical examinations classified as "No apparent decease or defect" are valid for 6 months after the doctor’s signature date. If your case is subject to further administrative processing, your medical report may expire during the process. In that case, you are required to renew your examination and submit an updated medical report to our office when you come here to receive your immigrant visa. Your visa validity will be limited with the validity of your medical report. If you plan to travel at a later date, you are advised to renew your medical report and get a visa with a longer validity.

Did she get AP before or after the interview? I'm trying not to get my hopes up before the interview because you never know if there will be further AP after the interview or not.

They notified her at the end of interview.

M, do you think the interview can be just as successful if the USC can not attend. Depending on when they set the interview my son may not get to go.

Our case was IR1 and I did not attend the interview. The interview was successful but the case is hold on AP. Good luck.

I have been waiting for an interview date in Ankara for almost 45 days! I do not suggest Turkey.

I know a few people whose cases were completed after mine, but got their interview in August! Not sure what is going on!

I think Girls should not have issue with name check! I know many guys(students) with common names, got their name check result less than 2 weeks!

No, her name is not common. by the way, I just noticed your interview place! Mine would be in Ankara too!

Well, I emailed embassy but they told me they can not do anything! NVC is in charge of scheduling interviews! Our case is IR1 ..

My case was completed on June 23rd, still waiting...

Mine was completed on June 23th! No interview date yet

I just read the threads. Thank you

June 2nd, I checked NVC website and noticed that the option to pay the IV fee bill ($400) is available, so I went ahead and paid the money.

June 3rd morning, Checked the website. It was marked as PAID, so I went ahead and downloaded the Cover Sheet and sent all DS230 document to NVC.

June 3rd afternoon: I received an email regarding generation of IV Invoice!

since then, When I log in to the website, it is marked as Not PAID! and the options to print cover sheet or print the receipt are unavailable!

I am just worried it may cause delay in our process!

any advice?

The other question is how I can find out if my AOS has been accepted without RFE?

Thanks!

Maz

Just wanted to let you know that my Choice of Agent email just got approved and I paid IV bill.

If they email you regarding IV bill, or they let you pay the fee on their website, means they have accepted Choice of Agent request. the other way would be calling NVC and asking them.

I sent the email a few times during pas days, hopefully the pay attention to one them!!! I have seen 2 cases on this forum, we sent the email at the same day, and theirs got accepted!

My AOS documents was delivered on 26th but it got into their system just today. Hopefully yours get into their system very soon.

Thank for your reply. Actually I do check the status over the phone, and I talk to them everyday but same response. I just do not know what to say to get them to investigate the issue!

It has been 2 weeks that NVC has not processed my Choice of Agent email. I have seen people who sent their email after me but their emails have been processed. Is there anything I can do? They just keep telling me that it takes a few weeks!!!

Today I took the oath and became a citizen

Now I move to I-130 forum to continue the journey of getting my wife here.

Thank you everybody for sharing your experience and wish you all good luck.

Here are the mistakes:

In form G325A, it asks the applicant to sign the form, and I signed both forms, mine and hers!, which now I think that was wrong!

In I-130 when it asks whether the spouse has ever been in US, I have forgotten to select NO

I filed I-130 for my wife like 2 years ago when I was LPR and last night I found that I made mistakes in G325A, and I-130 forms!!! I am going to be a Citizen this week so I was wondering what to do? Wait for USCIS to contact me regarding the mistakes or send them corrected form?

Any suggestion?

I had my interview today and everything went well. I even got my oath letter for April 21th. :dance:

Good luck everybody...

Thank you Stella. I feel my wife closer...

Congratulations on your interview letter!
