    If I remember correctly, I had the interview on Sept. 30, and I picked up my passport on Oct. 6 from Wanchai.

    Will your source of self employment income continue once you move back to the US? If so, you will need to document how you can continue earning this income when you move back to the US. I went through a similar process a few months ago. I was the beneficiary, and my job continued when I moved to the US. My wife wasn't working. I had an offer letter of continued employment, bank statements, pay stubs etc. However, before the interview I decided to get a joint sponsor. At the interview after looking at my job documents, he asked if I had a joint sponsor. Provided those documents and he seemed much happier. Of course there was nothing wrong with my documents, as I had proved that my income would continue from the same legal source when moving to the US, but he didn't seem sure about accepting it, I didn't want to push and just wanted the process to be over. They tend to be risk averse( for good measure), so you might want to consider a joint sponsor (if possible).

    Sharing my timeline. POE: Newark, November 11, 2022 Card being produced: Dec 15 2022 Card being mailed : Dec 27 2022 Card being picked up by USPS: Dec 28 2022 Card Delivered by USPS : Dec 30 2022 Glad to have received my card within 60 days. Was having problems opening bank accounts and credit line, cos the banks in my small-ish town have no clue about the I-551 stamp in my passport.

    @F3MTL I landed in the US 6 days ago, and am also eagerly waiting my SSN so that I can switch over to US payroll for my existing employer. Currently working remotely also. Did you check the SAVE website? https://save.uscis.gov/save/app/client/ui/case-check I believe you can see whether the SSA has sent a request to USCIS to verify your status.

    @cmncl so I had my interview last Friday 9/30. The staff were friendly, and the whole process was quick. The CO told me my visa was approved. On 10/3, the CEAC status went to Admin Processing and then to "Issued". Waiting for my passport to be delivered now.

    @cmncl i got DQ on July 15, received interview letter on August 5, for a Sept 30 interview.

    Just got my IL. DQ date is 15 July 2022. Interview is 30sept.

    Hi, we got DQ on July 14, 2022. I'm a bit confused as to how the interview scheduling works. When I contacted our consulate, they said that NVC is still holding the file and has not yet transferred it over. Does NVC only transfer it once they have scheduled the interview? So I guess the consulate doesn't actually set the date? Rather NVC does it?

    @RDWP oh that’s good to hear. I’m guessing you got DQ around May? That’s a pretty decent time frame. Was expecting a backlog. Any issues with the interview?
  17. Madrismo
    We got DQ on July 14, 2022. Applying for an IR1 visa. Any idea how long the wait for interview might be? Seems like it used to be about a month, but not sure now, as they had shut the embassy for a few months earlier in the year.

    So I heard back from NVC today, and got the DQ email/notification! Original submission was Jan 7-12, and got the first FE note on April 1 to add a household member for the petitioner. I am the immigrant and was using my own income on the petitioners I864, as i will keep my job when I move to the US. Responded to the FE on April 28 and also decided to add a joint sponsor and his household member to CEAC. Submitted these documents from April 28-May 4. Heard back from NVC on July 12, and got a second FE note. Our lawyer had made an error when uploading the joint sponsors I864, and the pdf file that was uploaded included an I864A. NVC wanted the i864 to be submitted by itself. Resubmitted the correct document on July 13, and was DQ on July 14. Interestingly, NVC removed my documents as HH member, and just kept the joint sponsor and his spouse. Considering myself very fortunate that I skipped a whole 80 day review period. Now the wait begins for an interview at the HK consulate.
