Amazing news! So your status was changed to 'issued' on Wednesday and by Friday you received the email?
 
Just trying not to worry, husbands interview was on friday(approved), status changed to issue this morning, just hoping it doesn't take too long for the courier email as we've also booked our flights for the 18th!
 
Thank you

This is a great thread. I hope all the EB folks can continue updating it. 

Had my interview just now. Waiting between document check and interview was quite long, about 45 minutes, but then the interview itself was less than 5 minutes.
 
He wanted me to upload my name change document to CEAC originally, but I told him I already uploaded it with all the other documents. So he looked again, took him some time, but then seems to have found it and told me my Visa is approved 🤗
 
Now to just wait for my passport back via Courier 🤗
 
I'm so happy and emotionally drained 😂
 
I've seen some people track their Visa, where it supposedly should change to "Issued" - where is that? CEAC? Or the courier website from the US embassy?

i am gona post the questions here if its okey so that everyone can read. first u should know that my case is a bit complicated coz i was born in lebanon but i am croatian... so many questions revolved around why i dont have lebanese nationaility and why i lived in croatia and etc... so im guessing these questions dont apply to others. however the questions that i think everyone will get are similar  to this
1- how did u meet ur employer ( in my case my brothers lives in new york and his wife is an rn and her boss knows the guy who sponsored me so i got lucky)
2- did u have an interview ( THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT . FIRST I answered no obviously becoz im not in the states. the officer asked me again if i ever spoke to him. luckily i did speak to him thru video cal on watsap once. so i said actually i did. then she wanted details of the conversation. i told her he wanted to know my qualifications and my level of english language etc.... so to the officer this was the interview. ALSO VERY IMPORTANT TO TELL THE OFFICER THAT THE CALL WAS RECENT.she asked when did i talk to him i said less then a month ago. i understand some pleople wait fro visa for 8 years. but u cant tell the officer that u did ur itnerview 5 years ago. i think that wont stand . )
3- questions about education . how did i get my US license. in my case i studied in an america university so it was pretty easy to do the nclex witohut the hastle of cgfns and all this so i told her.
no questions about experience. 
my personal feelings about the interview... i must admit during the interview i was freaking out . i didnt expect such detailed questions. i felt it was over. especially when she stops talking and starts typing and u need to w there not knowing whats going on . but what got me approved was honesty. even though i got many questions i didnt lie about anything at all and i think even though she could sense i was wrried about being rejected she could see in my answers that i didnt lie about anything. 
sorry for the long post. please share with everyone who needs it. i wish best of luck to any person wh is going thru us immigration process.. i am flying in two days. finally its over. and also excuse me for the typing mistakes 

Hi everyone, 
I am sharing my visa interview experience for anyone out there who is anxious. I am a new graduate  RN without any experience at all. I have US rn license and sponsor etc... so finally after nvc and everthng i made it to the interview today at the embassy . So for everyone who is wondering about EXperience: It doesnt matter ! As long as u hv recent employment contract and job offer ul be fine. However u need to show the officer that u have actually contactrd ur employer or hospital or clinic u will be working in.  The officer wants to know u actually spoke to them . For me she asked me " did u do interview with ur employer " since im nt in the states i said no . So she asked me if i ever spoke to him ... i said yes over the phone.she asked details about the convesr. And so she considered  it as interview. I dont wana scare anyone... but u should know they do ask questions. Its not 1,2,3   . At least for me it wasnt. I am ready to answer sny question . Feel free to inbox me. I hope this helps.sorry fot the long post but i know when i was waiting for my interview i would have killed for info!

Step 2 - Registering Your Interview
After you have attended your medical examination, you should then register your visa interview through the Visa Appointment Service website at https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-gb/iv and follow these instructions:
Select “I have received a Consular interview appointment date from the National Visa Center (NVC), Kentucky Consular Center (KCC), or the Consular Section and I have been instructed to register my appointment on this site”; Follow the onscreen instructions to register an account; If your family members are applying under your case number, you may “add” applicants to your account after you have added your own details. You will be asked to select your delivery method for the return of your passport if your visa application is successful. Delivery to a courier depot is free. If you wish to upgrade to home/office delivery you can pay an additional fee through your account; Please go to “Print Instructions” in order to print your courier confirmation page. You must bring this with you on the day of the visa interview. You should also bring your appointment letter you received from NVC.

Pretty lucky!

Pretty lucky!

Hi.  I got DQ on the 20th Sept, got interview letter on the 30th Sept (today) .  Interview on the 16th Nov.  Wondering what I did to luck in there. 

I got mine yesterday.

Thanks! NVC sent our petition off on August 16th and then the interview letter came through on September 5th so just under 3 weeks wait on that letter. From start to interview date it's been 531 days.

I don't know how they're dealing with the backlog. From my research on this site and elsewhere it seems people have received interviews within 2 weeks to as long as 7 weeks after getting DQd. But it seems like new batches get released at the end/beginning of every month.

DQ - August 12th
Interview Letter Received - September 29th
Interview Date - November 17th.
