Thank you 😊,  I am glad that our journeys had come to an end. Thank you so much for your help. 

Showed 2 for me too. In the end when you get the indication one of them has reached and is ready for pickup, you go to Aramex

Nope I had a stellar interview and was verbally approved by the CO! Was surprised by the DS5535 later
 
Anyway, last Monday (8 days ago) I was called by the embassy asking to send my passport through Aramex. Today my visa was ISSUED.
 
AP total length - exactly 14 days.
Sometimes nothing’s missing and it’s just security checks. They only tell you after you think you’ve been approved lol. 

Done and done. Visa in hand. Ticket to USA booked. Finally!!! Adios amigos. 

That is stellar!!! Mabrouuuuk 😊 Inshaa Allah this means you’ll get her visa in five business days. Thank you for telling us!!!

My wife got her approval today. She said they asked her a handful of questions. My name, my address, how we met, what I do for work and where I am currently (I was outside). She said everyone before her also got approved. The entire process took 2 hours but interview was less than 5 min. 

Thank you so much and I wish the same to you! I had my medical on the 28th Feb with Dr Agnes and they were really friendly. When’s your husband’s medical? 😊

Good luck to both you, I hope everything goes smooth and you get approve the same day ❤️

I actually will be lol. I just don't trust Aramex enough to handle all of it correctly. I'll be bringing a copy of the same documents on the day of the interview.
I heard last week they (could be the embassy during document handling) lost an applicant's original marriage contract and issued a 221g. Rare but it happens. I'd bring additional 2x2 photos to the interview too.

My wife did her medical exam with Dr. Agnes last week. She said the Dr. was extremely friendly and seemed genuinely interested in talking and listening to her. After it was over she was not given a sealed envelope, but told the office would send everything to the embassy themselves. 
 
The rest of our documents we will be sending out tomorrow or Tuesday when I get to Amman.  It will be 14 days before the interview. I made sure to bring an original birth certificate and all tax documents and W-2 and paystubs. 
 
I had to cut our honeymoon by half a day in order to get back the night before the interview otherwise we would have arrived the morning of. I was willing to take the risk but she wasn’t. 😅

So if you want the medical to be just a few days before the interview, let it be with Dr. Amy. If you want it up to 2-3 weeks before, let it be with Dr. Agnes. It's entirely up to you based on how soon you plan to travel after visa issuance.

Yes, the documents should be sent through Aramex at the Khalda/Tlaa Al Ali branch in Amman. It's for free and you send everything through them. If you don't live in Amman, you may send your documents through your local Aramex branch for a small fee but there's the fear of delays.
 
On the day of the interview, the applicant's name will be on a list and you'll just say your name and if it's on the list they'll let you in (I still recommend bringing the Jordanian ID, because your passport will have been sent through Aramex). Now here's the only nuance: if your medical is just a few days before the interview, then you can either agree with the panel physician to bring a coloured copy of your passport OR you can simply not send it through Aramex and just bring it with you on the day of the interview, however many people are uncomfortable with the latter.
 
I booked my medical a couple of weeks before my interview, as I don't want to worry about the whole passport thing. But that's because my husband and I plan to travel as soon as the visa is issued. For someone who has business to wrap up before heading to the US, I recommend they book their medical a few days before the interview as that would give you an extra 2-3 weeks before your visa expires. Your visa expires 6 months after your medical.

We got IL today 😁, I have to ask you something,

They sent out a batch of interviews yesterday covering the end of DQ November and entering into DQ December 14th apparently. 

I brushed my teeth and got in bed and checked my email praying that perhaps I’d see an email from the NVC….
 
I got my IL!!!! Scheduled for March 6th @ 12pm. We fly back from our honeymoon from Male to Amman March 6th @ 9am!!! God is great!!! Poor baby she will be so tired but what can we do!
 
I appreciate all the support. Wish you all the best of luck with your cases!!!

For US citizen petitioners IR1/CR1 who became citizens by jus soli (by being born on American soil), the original American birth certificate is now being requested by consular officers.
 
This is for “proof of US citizenship of the petitioner”. This is not being requested for joint sponsors. A colored copy no longer suffices. A colored copy of the US passport no longer suffices. I would suggest you bring it with you if you’re visiting your spouse. Many 221g’s have been issued lately, and it’s no longer random cases.
 
This does not apply to US citizen petitioners who acquired citizenship by naturalization or CRBA.
 
This is the 221G being given at the interview. By “PET” they mean petitioner:

We got an IL today!
They sent out a batch until DQ 27/11/2022!

I did not.
It’s shocking, because they’ve been doing 3 months at a time for 4 months now

Jan 18th IL batch
Covered weeks of DQ October to be scheduled for the first 3 weeks of March. Praying that they’re not slowing down now.

Hopefully rest of DQ Oct, all of Nov, and first couple weeks of Dec 22

Oh, I can imagine your excitement! They usually send them out Friday. Last Friday they sent out F2A interviews. For spouses of US citizens we’re expecting this Friday or the next!

Omg thank so much for sharing, this gives me  hopes that our time will come very soon. 

Today at 9:30 AM AMMAN time they sent out ILs for DQ August, September, and beginning of October to be interviewed in February 2023.

More interview letters came in today for DQ APRIL 22 and it seems the next batch will be for interviews in January.

Good news, guys! Interview letters were sent out today (or yesterday?) for DQ Jan 2022-April 2022. The interviews will be in the first half of December.
My suspicion is that there will be more sent out in November to be interviewed in December because I don't think everyone DQ Jan-April 22 was covered.

Congrats!!!! 🎉 
I will. I also tend to post the IL updates on this thread.
