Congratulations!

We have the same date of 10/26 for 1st NOA. Have you done anything to speed it up or did it just happen?

Hello.

How many days dıd ıt take for you to receıve the vısa vıa UPS? We are nervous that we wıll not make ıt to the flıght.

Hi Selvi,

Congratulations on your visa and good luck with the rest of it.

I have a question for you, while you were being interviewed did you observe how they interview as far as language. My fiance doesn't speak any English and I am worried that the officers may not be very good at Turkish. I worry that language may be a barrier causing misunderstandings when answering questions...

Hi there Michele,

My fiance is also from Izmir. Good luck to you on your journey. We are 86 days and counting since petition. If you need any info let us know since we are likely going to complete the steps ahead of you and may be of help when you need.

AOS package received and accepted! YAY!!!!

AAAAAND THE INTERVIEW: 20 july

Any news yet ?

Applied for social security #

Congratulations!

Finally !!!!! It's almost unreal and hard to believe. But we are approved!

Flight booked for Jul 18th-Jul 28th. I want to be there and hope that they will allow me to go in to interview room!

Good luck with the interview, keep us posted.

He is from Bornova. I also lived in Izmir between 92-98 college years

Hi Michele, How is the wait going? It's driving me absolutely crazy. I contacted my Senator and they were told that for us to be considered outside normal processing time, we have to wait till 26th of April, until then we cannot request for service. Have you been doing anything to expedite?

Hi Tuana, do you have an interview date yet?

Hi Tuana, we have not heard from you, I have been wandering what the interview outcome is, but I am guessing you guys are crazy busy running around arranging for his trip. Keep us posted.

Hi, I did get my email and text. They have sent 3 of each, I guess for AOS, advance parole and work permit petition.

Hi, yeah. It was a little crazy on our end. Visa took over a week to arrive about 12 hrs before our flight. But we made it. Our POE was Washington DC and it was very easy and friendly. It was crowded so it took about 1/2 hr before we could be interviewed. they were separating the lines between citizens and non-citizens. I went with him to non-citizen line since he doesn't speak much English.

How is AOS coming along, we were approved w/out interview and Azad'd green card is on the way.

How long dıd ıt take for you to receıve the passport after the ıntervıew?

I am still stateside but booked my flight for 18th. I hope to fly back w. him on 28th and move in to our new place. It is almost here. Do you have an interview date yet?

I have visited 4 times since August, It's a little irresponsible to financially but, emotionally it makes perfect sense. It helped us stay positive. I don't think that the Senator really helped with anything, we have not gotten anything other than the standard response, that is it takes 6 months to be considered beyond normal processing times. This is the hardest thing I ever had to do ...

I read here people's horror stories about the call center, but my experience has always been pleasing. I let them know that I am aware they cannot give me more info, but to at least forward me to an officer who can. Last time I called I was forwarded to another person, who was saying the same BS and I asked again to be connected to someone who can be more specific. That may have helped.

I think in due time he will adjust especially once his English improves. Despite all it has been a major source of joy for us to be together everyday. We already forgot all the waiting. You will too.
