Oh, nice wiki. At first, I thought I've never seen it and was going to bookmark it, then I realised I had already bookmarked it laughing.gif I need to go over those questions and see if anything's missing from my 7-page document I already have saved to my computer full of interview questions.

I have seen it first time and i found it very usefull. best of luck for the interview and do share the questions which CO will ask. i am sure it will be breeze for you. :thumbs:

Seeing interview questions and prepping for them are very useful. I'll be going over all the questions I have a few days before the interview and make sure I know all the answers.

I'm sure my interview will be easier than yours. Usually those interviewed in Montreal only get a couple of questions, just basic ones, and that's it. Although, I've had 2 previous denials to the USA, so that might come up and make it less easy laughing.gif

Grats on your CC! kicking.gif

In the next few days or weeks, an interview date will be scheduled for your case. Once that's done, the case is then shipped to the US Embassy or Consulate which usually takes a few days, depending on where it has to go.

And in the last 30 pages or so you've missed: many people have gotten expedites approved, gotten CC's, had interview dates scheduled, and there's even been one person (xelance) who has had their interview already!

Thanks! Only 23 days, 15 hours and 34 minutes till my interview. But it's not like I have a countdown on my desktop or anything laughing.gif

I believe xelance is moving in 2ish weeks.

You guys need to start another thread. The first one was for CSC/TSC. The second one (this one) is for NVC. You guys need a third one for the last phase (interviews and POE). And then in 2 years, start another one for ROC :P

Hope you get an interview date assigned soon! yes.gif

I was expecting OPTIN to be accepted yesterday but it wasn't so I gave them a call and they told me to resend it and I did. Well, today I received the OPTIN from the previuos one. It took 14 business days. I guess I should have waited another day to call lol. I resent my AOS package and I am still waiting for a police cert to come in snail mail. Once that comes I can send the supporting documnet for the IV.

I had seen that your name was Lindsay and I was still calling you Saylin all this time. Hey you can always have it as a middle name. :D Although we are coming to the end of our visa journey (at least the green card part), should we keep calling you Saylin or change it? :lol:

Did you get the "NVC Electronic Email Account Auto Response" when you RESENT your AOS package?

My OPTIN was accepted yesterday. Then I (petitioner) re-sent the AOS supporting documents to NVCElectronic@state.gov. My wife (beneficiary) re-sent the DS-260 supporting document too. Surprisingly, this time we did not get the "NVC Electronic Email Account Auto Response", while we got one when we first submit those documents.

I'm sure I'll be fine too. It wasn't visa denials though. (I actually had a L2 visa before and lived in the US for 2 years). My denials were at POE when I went to try to visit my husband last year. After the second denial, I quit trying.

Oh boy, less than 2 weeks! Have everything packed and ready to go yet?

And I'm so relieved the gov't wasn't shut down either. I had a feeling it wouldn't, but I feel a lot better knowing 100% it won't shut down now.

Hope your wife feels better. Taking teeth out is never fun, had that done myself a few years ago.

Wow, I'm not moving till next month, yet I've been pretty much packed for weeks now laughing.gif

I'll be going over a bunch of interview questions as well. Although, from reviews I've read about reviews, they just ask basic questions, like the ones you got asked. So, I'm not stressing out that much. Not yet anyways. laughing.gif
