Congratulations on you visa:) do you mind if I ask you a question? My interview was also on 2nd of December, did you get your medical done before or after the interview? I did my medical after and waiting since then 😔

We had the medical about two weeks before the interview. It’s worth emailing them, they never replied to me but our case did move forward the day after I emailed them. I’d been waiting a couple weeks before then.

A couple questions for anyone who has already gone over to the State through the Dublin Airport Immigration.
1. How much extra time did you need before your flight to clear immigration?
2. What kinds of questions did the immigration officer ask? 
3. Did you have to fill in any Customs Forms beyond the usual for the stuff you were bringing with you?

We have our Visa and are going in a couple weeks, just not sure what to expect! Thanks!

Our visa arrived!! The only thing is ... there was no envelope with it to bring to the Border Patrol, just passport and a paper asking us to pay the Immigration Fee. 

Did anyone else not have an envelope? Thanks!

Ok so I think we’re at the end of our many unfortunate delays. The embassy has my husbands new passport and we got notified they received it yesterday. It switched to administrative processing yesterday, then today it switched to ready. Based off this thread it looks like it usually happens the other way around? Has this happened to anyone else? Just curious if we’re moving forward or backwards 

Ours stayed on Ready, but the date updated changed a couple times, so it could have changed and then gone back to Ready without me catching it. I imagine they needed to ensure they had everything together.

That's very strange, I'm sure you'll have it long before March. I emailed them, and they responded after a few days (although it wasn't helpful at all), so I wouldn't be shy about following up regardless of the 15 day thing. 

Good call! We'd emailed last week and heard nothing. Emailed again yesterday and they didn't reply, but it did finally move into Administrative Processing right before end of day today! Maybe we got lost in the shuffle and the nudge did it, or just coincidence ... but I'm very relieved that there's movement!

Hopefully it has moved for you. I was the same interview date, and my case went from rejected (as I needed to submit updated financial sponsor forms) to Administrative Processing on Friday the 17th to Issued today. 

That's great! Congratulations. Ours still says Ready. It's very disheartening. We've emailed, but the auto-reply says they won't reply until it's been 15 working days. Luckily our move date isn't until March, but it's stressful wondering what the hold-up is. 

We're now two weeks past interview, where my husband was approved (Dec 2nd). And our CEAC status still says Ready. 
We can't even followup as they won't reply unless it's been 15 working days. This is the hardest wait ever.

Hey everyone,

 

I had my interview and was approved on the 2nd Dec, just wondered how long it took to get passport delivered ? CEAC status still says ready 

We're still waiting. Also approved Dec 2nd and status says Ready.

My husband just had his greencard interview today and was approved! Such a relief to be at the end of the road. 

I'm a long-time lurker here, just posting my first question even though we're in the final stretch. Our medical is tomorrow and Interview is next week. 

Just wondering what my husband can expect at the medical tomorrow? It's hard to find anything the explains what will actually happen at the appointment. And are they sending results directly to the embassy at the moment?

Thanks!
