Rachita

Thank you so much! And congratulations on the visa


 
 
Good Luck to you

Good Luck Rachita!
 

Everything that Lauri said above  
We have the interview tomorrow!

Hi!
So the physician appointment was $5000 and then the lab tests and x-rays are about 15,000 or so. You basically spend about 20,000. The experience was fine. It's mostly paperwork. Take all the vaccination records you have if you can, takes about an hour, hour and a half. The lab you do somewhere else, and it goes pretty fast. They send everything digitally to the embassy.
 
Our Experience: We had our interview on Monday and everything worked out. Some tips:
Be very organized with all paperwork including, but not limited to: original birth certificates, marriage cert, translations in place, police background check with art.51 exclusion and translation, evidence of relationship, 1040 and supporting financial documents, DS-260 confirmation and print out I-864 just in case. Make sure you take all passports ever had and the 5cm x 5 cm photos they ask for (to be safe 4 of them). They'll take your fingerprints, ask questions as to relationship and usually will make a decision before you leave. You can expect to get your passport with approval stamp, etc. within 2 weeks via courier if you get approved. That's all I know and what our experience was. Good Luck to all in this process, I know it's a lot, but it will be worth it once you get there
 

This is the month of our priority date, this is the month of the approval for our I-130. Now that our visa class is IR1, maybe it will be the month for our interview appointment letter!!!  🙏 

Last month our thread was so silenced I even forgot about it. May the new month bring us all many updates and good news to share. Thanks for starting a new thread  

Our friends' B1/B2 visa appointments were cancelled.  But it looks like they're giving CR1/IR1 appointments pretty quickly.

Just got our appointment for the end of March! 🤗

Hoy mi esposo fue a ver al Dr Kelly, me dijo que es muy buena onda y que desde el 1980 trabaja con la Embajada 🤯

Pensaba avisarles lo que me dijo, porque hay algunas instrucciones desactualizadas en el sitio de la embajada. 
1- No hay que llevar fotos impresas, el mismo doctor te saca foto en el momento.
2- Hace el examen físico en esa misma consulta. No volves a verlo, porque los resultados del laboratorio, etc son enviados a él por mail.
3- Al no volverlo a ver, no se te entrega un sobre/paquete con los estudios. Está todo digitalizado ya.
 
Nosotros al no saberlo, estuvimos corriendo justo antes buscando donde sacar las fotos jaja

Thank you! We DQ’d January 15, 2021. So it we received the interview date rather quickly.

Hi Rachita, we also heard back yesterday! March 15th date. I've emailed and called the doctor, just waiting for an appointment. YEY! One step closer...

That's amazing, congratulations! Please share your experience at embassy after your interview. Best of luck!
 
Hopefully they will get back to normal soon, I just have to wait

Congratulations!
It looks for the embassy of the country I am in, interview letter arrives mid of the month.

We got our interview letter/email today, so things seem to be moving along quicker. It’s for March 🙌🏻

To my fellow South Americans: Rio de Janeiro seems to be restarting the interviews. They are scheduling DQs from March 2020. 

May March be the month of Interview Letters for all! 🙏

I wanted to address the negative attitudes we have seen on the rise recently in the upper/ immigration forums towards those who ask beginner/ simple questions, or have unusually fast or slow VisaJourneys.

First, there is a tone difference between the Progress forums- which are mostly for support and cheerleading, and the Info forums, which are mostly to have questions answered.   While all our forums are supposed to be welcoming to all and friendly, this is especially important in the Progress forums, which are not to discuss politics, or be negative towards  those fortunate to have their case dealt with quickly, or  critical of those who voice sadness about their own slow progress. These forums are there to uplift eachother!

Secondly- in the info forums, you may get bad news.  When a question is asked, our members are encouraged to answer truthfully, even if this may not be what the Op wants to hear, because it is important to be informed.  However, the emphasis is still on being welcoming and friendly.  If you need to give bad news, do so gently, and stick to facts; constructive criticism of the Op's plans ARE allowed, but the emphasis is on constructive.  No need to dwell on mistakes (or tell members they should be on 90 Day Fiance- that is a personal attack and automatic suspension), or  illegal actions in the past- instead, encourage and explain legal options for the future.  And ONLY legal options- as per our TOS, VJ does not support, condone or encourage illegal (immigration) actions, and such posts will be removed.

Ultimately, we are here to help all members, old and new, easy cases and complicated, those who write a fact filled bullet point post and those who are panicking and don't make much sense in their first post. Yes, sometimes questions can be easily googled, or answered via a search of our forums.  But if you feel that way, just scroll past- no need to criticise the OP for asking the question. 

We DQ'd September 2, got the interview invite Dec 15th and had interview today (Jan 28). Hope it is quicker for you!

As soon as I hear back I'll update back....still nada - but really hopeful! they moved uber fast up to this point.  fingers crossed! 

Hi! I was about to ask the same question, so hopefully someone from Argentina can let us know if they’ve received an interview letter/date recently. We became DQ just last Friday (January 15th) but since the whole process has been pretty quick so far, I’m hopeful for a February or March interview date.
