I received my approved visa today just sharing my timeline & interview details in case it helps anyone: No RFE! June 12th 2021 - PD (submitted to Texas, transferred to California) June 24th 2021 - Active Review February 24th 2022 - Case Approved May 12th 2022 - Documents Submitted July 20th 2022 - DQ'd August 26th 2022 - Interview Letter September 9th 2022 - Medical October 27th 2022 - Interview at Dublin Embassy (was told everything looked good and to expect my passport back in about 10 working days) November 2nd 2022 - CEAC status changed to Administrative Processing November 3rd 2022 - CEAC status changed to Issued November 7th 2022 - Postal notification & tracking number received November 8th 2022 - Visa on Hand & Immigration Fee paid November 19th - Flight to USA ✈️🇺🇲 Interview Questions: "Name" is your petitioner? Is he also your financial sponsor? What does he do for work? How much money does he make? How did you meet? What do I do for work? Are you planning on continuing that in the US? You got married in Ireland? What was your wedding like? Have you ever been refused a US visa? Have all your visits to the US been on an ESTA? Where are you going to live in the US? Is it a house or an apartment? You changed your surname at one point? (I had submitted a deed poll from when I took my mom's surname when I was 18.) My interview time was 7:45am and I was out of there at 9:15am. Interview lasted around 10 minutes. The longest part was queuing to hand over my documents and then waiting to be called to the interview desk.

Congratulations! How long did it end up taking in the end? Mine was approved yesterday at my interview so just trying to judge the wait time til I receive it

Quick question - do we have to bring along the previously completed original I130 forms (from USCIS stage) to the interview as well? We submitted everything online through rapid visa so we no longer have the actual forms that were scanned and submitted by RV. It wasn't mentioned to specifically bring them, but it does say to bring completed application forms? I'm a little confused. Any help would be hugely appreciated!

I waited just over 5 weeks. DQ'd July 20th.

Thanks for the update! Do you know what the current timeframe is approx? Even a ball park? Yeah I saw that timeline previously too but that's almost 3 months ago now. Perhaps the timeframe has changed. If I don't receive anything by Friday I may contact them.

We DQ'd July 20th and no word from the embassy yet. It's pretty much been almost a month. Has anyone got an interview recently and how long did it take to receive it after being DQ'd?
