My case was approved thank god, I was hoping to know how long it takes to get the interview in Djibouti, or should I transfer it to Egypt?

Glad it did!! Congratulations 🎊 👏 

Djibouti is the fastest based on my experience and some people i met there. Mine after NVC sending the notice of approval and waiting list, it took me no more than 2 months for my spouse to be here... you should be getting it within 1-3 months hopefully 🙏

hi can you please tell me too, because I am applying for my husband and I am worried that they will ask for more evidence . I don't know what else to give them @Ramad

 

Hey sorry i am late...look what I did is I submitted everything you can ever proof as marriage. I submitted wedding photos 35 pictures and where was it taken and who is in it. Text messages before and after marriage 35 pictures with translations. I submitted all taxes and many many things. I don't know if you are doing it by yourself or you have someone doing it for you. I have a lawyer who helped me through everything

Hi all,

Question about this whole thread...anyone know how to get a case transferred? As Ethiopia is also not processing cases, been trying to figure out how to take steps to get it somewhere else, but can't get any answers. Help?

If you have a lawyer he/she should be able to transfer it. To transfer a case you'd have to submit a form printed online but I am not sure how as I never transferred. Hopefully someone here responds but I would recommend you open your own thread so you get the full attention and detailed responses. Good Luck!

What documents did you submit when you first filed the I-130? I’m just filed the I-130 to bring my wife to the US. i’m just wondering if i submitted the right documents or if i am missing any documents. 

Hi, check your PM i responded there

Update Dec 8, 2021

We went for the interview, and it was smoother than a job interview! Didn't spend 5min with the counselor and then he took the passport and gave us a link to check the status. Yesterday we got the Visa, and tomorrow is our flight to USA. 🫂

Did you receive RFE or did you send in a expedite request 

No we didn't expedite it nor got an RFE. It was smooth because we had everything submitted correctly.

Did you get scheduled for uscis interview in the United State 

No I didn't because our marriage is less than 2 years with no prior divorce or children.

Wow, congrats, that was super fast! Were you required to go to Djibouti after your case got DQ in order for them to schedule your interview, or are you able to come over from Yemen once you have been scheduled? And thanks for the reply above  

Thank you!

So my wife is already on her way to Djibouti from Yemen, she is all set.

As for me my flight will be this Saturday and arriving to Djibouti following day which is Sunday.

Update NOVEMBER 10, 2021

I have received a scheduled date for the interview in Djibouti DECEMBER 02, 2021 at 10:15 AM

Hey did you ever find out a timeline for your interview? I think Ethiopia is about to close down and so I’m also looking to transfer my case there.

Hi, my case was qualified on the 28th of October this year it's a bit early to get an appointment. I would hopefully guess probably 2-3 months from that date to receive an interview. I have a lot of friends who were in Djibouti during covid that their period of staying there didn't even reach one month and a half! That's how fast they process immigrations.

The only downside about Djibouti is the cost of staying there. Rent and electricity are whopping sky high... but I'll keep you updated on my case, and good luck with yours!

Could you move it to East Africa if there is a forum for it?

You need to look at Cairo embassy site to see how they are handling visa services for other countries

Hi no, the application and visa is being processed in Djibouti, not Yemen

Hi there, first I am a US citizen sponsoring my wife of almost 2 years. She is in Yemen, and we are currently on a waiting list for a US Visa in Djibouti. Form I-130 was submitted on 04/05/2021 Priority date is 04/22/2021 and was completed and transferred to NVC on 07/17/2021. All documents were accurately submitted to NVC on 08/06/2021. And finally on 10/28/2021 we received a message "DOCUMENTARILY QUALIFIED". The cacategory we are in is *CR1

I thought of sharing this as that we, as my wife and I, been searching the internet and following the process of cases.. but came to the last point of how long from now till the interview is scheduled.

Any idea or based on a similar experience, of how long the wait time until the interview is scheduled?

Best of luck to everyone!
