I guess I am confused, immigrant or not immigrant are not in the same category  as for the K1 visa..if you got very deeply lucky to get a fast interview for your application just jump on it. If you are on NON immigrant visa category it's another story.  Wish you the best, I am trying to not getting frustrated here but after 2 years of waiting reading some guys that would like to reschedule their interview just give me Goose bumps.

Super best

Hi all. As Rita said I would not even in a split second try to reschedule my interview given by the Embassy. 

You never know what's gonna happen real soon with covid and else. 

They give you a date , get it , show up.

Some of us suffer definitely a lot due to the hard period of covid and it's a little infuriating to read that you may not attempt or can't be there when it's timed.

Those Consular agent reset the clock for us and the basic is If you want your interview to be finalized well you follow their instructions period otherwise good luck.

Be all safe and get in the line thanks.

Hi all, I guess it depends if you are going to pick it up yourself or if you asked for delivery!! It should be 4/6 open days but 9 ish days is not bad compare when before summer 2021 some applicants had to wait more than 3 weeks.

When is your date BTW..mine is on the 1 st December at 9.45 same as Wave 19.

hi all , hi Diana

i received an email on my fiancee and my ip address from Paris embassy about two weeks ago yes, it was from IV pending instructing me to proceed via their website.( not a letter which i already received back in January 2020 taking in consideration my K1 was approved back in December 2019).

They unlocked my case and i could finally  keep on going with scheduling the appointment that ''THEY ''give me, there is no choice on your hand. ( and i would attend NO Matter what ).

 I have been waiting for that day since spring 2020 and had my pre interviews booted twice before October 2020, then no news at all until May 2021, so patience is key also understanding of the whole Covid period and restrictions.

Medical examination is valid for 6 months so i wouldn't wait at all to do it.( also to entry the USA you need to be full vaccinated) otherwise Good luck.

A little patience will be needed i guess, i d say that you may get your interview in early time of 2022 since the embassy is back to Normal rhythm as it seems.

Get upfront with medical and let the email comes to you.

Hi all.

Indeed I wouldn't worry too much for the birthday certificate, here in France you can get it at your hometown or by mail in less than 2/3 days.

It s definitely really his birth certificate so it can be certified anytime and I m Actually not sure it has to be absolutely translate in English.

Let us know.

Be well .

PDC

Oh boy...sounds like another world about the formal.

Anyway thank you so for the Intel.

Talk soon

PDC

Quick question..

While you received the email did they precise how to come to the embassy? Cause via the website normally we do receive a confirmation and the security guard are aware of your presence!!

Did you just show up and everything was set or?

Thanks a lot for your quick reply.

I send a reminder email about 2 weeks ago and received a classic " we do apologies etc...and that they will book my interview in the next few weeks, stand by" ..I had the same back in May.

I am also aware that the website is clearly Not available. 

Anyway I will let you all know !! Thanks for the support.

BTW everybody else French and Portuguese Don t hesitate to share your experience as well.

Be all well.

PDC

Great news it is everyone.

What was in the email from IV pending if you don't mind to tell please? 

You said instead of you email address it was sent to your fiance's.!!  How come?

I am still waiting, but I can say frustration is knocking daily at my Zen attitude door.

Thanks 

PDC

You rock , thanks for the support.. 

So glad that everyone after a very long wait get to be with our love ones.

Stay safe everyone.

Craig07

My noa2 is back from early 2020 and my status has been "ready "since May so just to give a little update on the status time line here.

Patience is a Better..yeah definitely.

Be well. Chat soon

P DC

Thanks for sharing your experience. at least they are booking and go threw the schedule interviews not cancel them anymore. 

Does it seem to you that they were understaffed or in lack of rss.? 

Somehow it definitely should be back to normal by now its been 16 monhs since the hit from covid, US can make it if they want to deal with.

Hi Rita..and the others.

I send last night a transfer email from my lawyer with all details.

This morning at 9.01am I received a reply with some apologies about the waiting and that they will work on finding me an interview date in the next few weeks.

All the best and lets us all keep informed about out process.

yup,

it definitely sounds about right> no rush , no envy, remotely and probably understaffed or with new agent that do not know from where to start.

thanks for reply , stay safe

It is definitely what i don t understand that some case that arrived later have been proceed and completed before those who got the NOA 2 bck in early 2020 before covid hit.

Everytime i called it is the same response.. be patient etc.. try late and monitor the site.. and as for the emails it s just an automatic reply>

Do you think that as from November when US will be open to Schengen area the Embassy will really proceed cases since there wont be any excuses of the suppose to be Ban?

hi all, 

yes please let us know how did it go ?  when was your NOA 2 ?  did it seems busy be or they are really working hard to resolve the Backlog?

thanks for sharing 

P DC

Hi rita , thanks for your reply , i ll probably will do the same just to make sure.

let us know what you heard from them please> 

thanks again 

P DC

Hi everyone,  i hope that you all doing great?

has anyone got an update or an email from IV Paris recently ?  do you think that the USA borders opening promise will change the US embassy attitude regarding our cases?

i am thinking about going HOME as tourist as off November for the waiting period instead and head back asap the interview is schedule.

all the best 

hi all, 

it is indeed very frustrating that the embassy is not giving interviews, but i reassure you i am in this situation since July 2020 time of my 1st interview officially booked in Paris that got canceled the day prior and since then the only communication i had from the Embassy was in May 2021 asking me to update my documents followed by a sentence saying that the IV section will email me for an interview. 

After that .. Nothing.

my NOA is back from January 2020 so i feel your insecurity and everything else.

Some applicants were able to get their interviews before summer 21 even if their NOA was in September 2020 or later in the year. ( maybe it s a random pick who knows)

Just keep the good mind and try to have your fiancé(e) to come to France to ease the distance turmoil it should be no problem if they are vaccinated.

Write soon and keep us posted.

Hi all , i hope you are all doing amazing?

is anyone was able to schedule an appointment via the US immigration website AIS us visa or you all have like me the same typed letters , try again later not available etc.. it s been more than a year and i have seen few refreshed pages but i am still stuck to that post from the visa center website.

when i call them they are speechless and only saying to stay patience (hmmm).

thanks

Hi Jobbins, 

Thank you for your support , for sure this admin non sense is getting to the nerves of everyone.

The US ambassador to France has finally pass congress nomination and she is right now in place since end of July, she is the ex ambassador of USA to Belgium  under Obama admin and got a solid reputation , so finally maybe something will move according to plan instead of the no Captain on board since last January.

My personal time frame of my K1 has been absolute chaos for sure ( NOA in January 2020 ), i  haven t seen my Fiancée since the past 2 years, passed 2 medical exam at 350 euros each got my interviews booted 3 times between last June and September 2020 and roughly one email from the embassy after multiples attempt contacts on my end. 

My last email to IV pending  is from 4 days ago and there is right now an automatic reply answering the most common questions, nothing else. It seem that they do not organized the priority date of application etc...but more random for sure.

My NVC status as of today  show Status READY since 14 May 2021, but again interview should occur between 2/3 months, well to thus date its been 3,5 months.

i will keep you and everyone else update.

be safe , keep it up.
