-CEAC status changed to ‘Issued’ 2 hours after interview
- got tracking email in  5 business days
-  passport delivered in courier on the 6th business day after interview. 
 
Hope this helps. 
 
 

Congrats!
If possible pls share your experience regarding what kind of questions were asked. 

Recently heard from a couple of ppl they’ve been asked questions regarding educational background. Guess we have to be prepared for these type of questions.
 Thank you for sharing your experience. Congratulations again! Good luck with your move. 

Just got back from the interview today. I got there 30mins earlier and allowed to get in 15mins prior my appointment time. Was asked for the PPC, birth certificate, 1 photo.

 Have you ever lived in any other countries?
- Who is your petitioner?
- Who is the joint sponsor?
Then he said my visa was approved and kept my passport
But for  my child they said need apply citizenship because petitioner was recently become citizen  

Hello All,
My interview was at 9:45AM, I would say reach at the Building no more than 5 minutes. You will find line up in front of building outside. Even reaching exactly on time will work too.
No bags or belongings allowed except of wallet and phone along your file folder or papers, they will provide small locker to put the phone in.
At the security check u will be given 2 tokens with same number. After security screening you will be asked to take elevator and go to floor 1 which is the consulate office.
Here there will be screen that will display your number. windows 6-10 are for the documents verification and fingerprints.
I had my all documents uploaded on the account after i got the interview letter.
Spouse updated I-864, Recent W2+Tax Return since her recent transcript is not generated yet, job offer letter.
My Updated PCC for home and foreign country, my status change document.
Since i had updated all of my documents before attending the interview, officer at the first window Appreciated since it saved her lot of time. She just asked me for my passport, original Birth Certi, marriage Certi and Original PCCs. She took one passport size photo scanned it and returned it back to me.
She put my passport, Birth Certi marriage certi and PCCs in one file, took my fingerprints and asked me basic questions like my marriage date, if my current address is still the same, spouse address, and informed me that my medical expires on … date so i have to enter States before that date. She asked me this to put it on the paper that she put along with my documents file.
She told me that in short time i will get my number on screen for interview. That interview would be on windows 1-5.
I got my number in about 20-25 mins.
Officer asked me petitioner name and relation.
He asked me where we met and when.
Than he asked me where my spouse lives currently in US. And he just said he approves the visa and told me that they will get the sticker on passport in a day or two and ship it out to me.
Officer was nice and returned me the originals except of passport.
In total very nice experience, no hassle, just upload everything ahead of time before going to interview and it was less than an hour in total for me from security check till the completion of interview. In 50 minutes approximately i was out of the building.
Thank you

@F3-from Toronto SInce you visited India AFTER getting a PCC from India, you will need to redo it. You still have time. India PCC takes 10 weeks, so you should start the process right away.

i uploaded IRS Tax Transcript 3 years all together (one pdf) on Aug 27. Shall i upload tax transcript separately ? 

Finally today I was able to upload financial documents for Joint sponsor. It no longer shows N/A. Also received email (system generated) from NVC saying ‘your request to add Joint sponsor has been approved’. 
 
Took two weeks to resolve. 
 

Hello, 
 
Finally when I logged in today afternoon, Joint sponsor no longer showed N/A. I was able to upload documents. 
 
I had emailed NVC through public inquiry and just waited. 5 days ago I received response from NVC advising there is a known system issue and will be resolved soon.
 
Took exactly 2 weeks for a resolution.
