Like DOlibash, I am also travelling to Boston in 2 weeks time and only for 4 days. Can I ask them to change the address for GC delivery to some address in Texas (different from port of entry). Currently I gave address of my friend in Boston, but he will be away for 2-3 wekks in May. I am not sure if it will clash the time for GC delivery. So, i want to change address to Texas. Will that be okay?

hello @snm2212 wondering if you got your card yet

Yes that's what I did. @snm2212

I asked the officer to update the address.

Hello everyone 

 

I am travelling to US on Monday and will be staying for two weeks. What I wanted to ask, will they still send my GC to the suggested address even if I exited the US after two weeks? 

@appleblossom

And also what

AFAIK, yes they will. But make sure you have somebody there to receive it - often UPS won't leave it in an unattended mailbox. 

Do you know what would be the best option to update the address of delivery. In the package received by embassy it says i can do this in port of entry

Hello Everyone

 I had my interview on Feb 16tj. It took less than 15 minutes, and it was smooth, underwhelming smooth haha. The CO asked four questions about my study, where I lived before and if started applying to Jobs; then she told me it was approved. 

It stated it was Administrative processing the same day after the interview in CEAC, that continued to be the case for the next two following business day. In the third day, it stated issues; I picked up the passport on the fifth WD.

My experience was linked to the embassy in LND; for extra questions about my timeline, check my TL in my page.

Best

Hello previous interviewees, just double checking this is the right address for the interview

It was very quick, appointment was at 10 am on the 8th Jan, in total we were there probably 1hr and 10 min max.

 

To be honest quite straight forward, but the personal taking our documents on the first stage was a bit strange, asked me for proof that I don't need a sponsor or jiob offer, which didn't apply to me.

 

 Then the next stage was super simple, biometrics, confirm names, and that was it.

 

I was surprised no other questions were asked.

Thanks

There is a Nigerian Lady who has appeared on Hacking who got a EB2 NIW through London, I did not think she had much of a chance based on what she said but got it.

Hacking?

Hello Everyone

I have been missing on this thread. It's really informative, so thankful to everyone spending time to detail their experience. 

I have my interview in a couple of weeks for my NIW case in London. I am stressing a lot out of fear from 221g AP because I am from Sudan. 

I had my petition approved based on my research merit and having an advance degree. I did recieve J1 visas in the past twice and had AP the second time just for two days. 

I am wondering if there's anything that can be done from myside. 

1. I did validate all required documents twice. 

2. I will have all evidence submitted in the petition in original format or print in case asked for. 

3. I detailed in a document my trips to Sudan since I left the country five years ago, I am also submitting my I-94 documents, I am planning to hand over the CO these documents when asked if I visited Sudan in the last 10 years. 

I am wondering what more can I do from my side to not fall into AP again, 

I am having a mock interview with an ex CO to go over my case and help me answering that question as well.

Status in Ceac just changed to Issued yesterday from AP due to 1 missing medical report  and the CO asking for an additional doccument sent via email 8 days after interview.

 

 

Most likely passportd back with me this Friday.

@Luis M
 

Hey
If you dont mind me asking.
 

What was the problem with medical report exactly? Didn't visa medicals send the report on time? Or was it a missing document from your side.
 

Also is it worth to know what was the missing document they asked you to email it? Asking to know if it's something that I should pay attention to.

Hi Guys,

 

So my status changed to Issued today. It had sat on refused since after the interview and it was only yesterday that it changed to Administrative Processing. 

 

From what I gathered from others on the forum, once it changes to Administrative Processing, it takes between 2hours to 2days to move to issued and that's certainly the case for me too.

 

How long does it take to pick up the passport as I elected to pick it up from DX in London?

 

All the best to those who are waiting.

How was your interview? What sort of questions you got? Anything standing out to lookout for ?

@sjc18692003

@Luis M @CMingo @starnsy @Stuart Mac

would it be possible to share the interview experience with us, questions, things to look out for?

Thanks

@Am2024 my timeline is updates. I was DQed in Apr 2023. Interview in on Feb 16 24. I got the IL on Jan 16 24

Hey everyone 

does anyone know how long normally does the medical take?

You have to contact your GP, but don't have to go in person. I applied for my SCR online and got it sent via email about an hour later. So just give them a call or see if they have a way of requesting it on their website. 

SCR ?

does anyone know how I can get a patient summary without actually going to a GP?

Anyone that went through the interview. 
 

what was the nature of the questions,

anything I should lookout for? Or prepare for?

my police certificate ends exactly at the day of the interview (quite the luck lol) It would be safer to get a new one right?

I got it too this Morning. 10 months wait came to an end 💙

We already know it's not current next month, as the VB for January has been released. Personally if I had to guess (and it really is just a guess) I don't see it becoming current anytime soon. 

I meant current for my personal case. I just got current in Jan VB and was DQed in April 22. I was hopeful to get the IL end of this December, but I think end of Jan is a safer guess. 

1 minute ago, appleblossom said:

 

It's an email. 

and to your estimates in LDN, is it end of month that VB will be current at, or the one after it?

Hi everyone

wondering if the IL would be received through mail, or email

1 minute ago, SRA_WLS said:

Yes, I sent and awaiting their feedback but generally they dont comment on these thing and simply provide link to FAQs to read 

I guessed so as well. I would personally delay the interview instead of risking a rejection status or an endless administrative processing
