Hello all,

The interview is actually the hardest part. Most denials come at the interview level, not the USCIS level

But if you have everything in order you should be fine

Congrats on the 31 days, that is lucky

Good luck

Congratulations with quick approval!

As above posters said, the most difficult part of the entire process is at the embassy. However, it'll be the mostest smooth and painless one if you are loaded with the proof of your bonafide relationship and, if ya know ALL about your husband/ petitioner.

Good Luck!

Thanks for all the input, the good thing is my command is calling and asking for expedite processing, I have a Navy Commander that is really pushing for her to come here since we've been apart so I am grateful. Right now my biggest thing is waiting for the PCC from Malaysia, she is doing that first thing in the morning. I hope we can get the expedite approval since we were approved at USICS. He wants to call NVC now and get the ball rolling, but I was told until you have a case number you can't call?

No, I just got here from a 3 year tour in Japan, all my deployments are behind me thank God. But here it's the simple facts of staying in Military housing without a spouse, and the general fact of being so far away from your loved ones. He knows since he has done the deployment dance himself and just wants to help. Plus it's a finacial burden when I have to provide for 2 households since her job is letting her go due to her upcoming trip here. I don't mind taking care of her but it's not easy, but she is my wife so I am obligated and honored to take care of her...

No problem.

Based on our case, my husband was able to call NVC (he'd bug them almost every day lol) before we had our case#.

Did you ask your CC to call USCIS and request to expedite? What did you do, and how did you do it? I am AD, too; but I am not deployed or anything, so I can't request an expedite.

Oh, and congrats.

Thanks, I just told them that I was military and the financial hardship was there since I am supporting my household and hers. I think just being in the military now works better, when my Commander called, my case had already been moved to NVC.
