Congratulations joyeann!

As far as I know from reading the appointment letter/the last packet the NVC has got all the originals already and they forwarded it to the embassy in Ankara. If they need anything else it would be expired documents like police certificate ( I think they do not ask this from Iranian applicants).

Congratulations again for getting the interview date after so long a wait.

My interview was scheduled for June also. However I am in the US and I might re-schedule it for September.

However I read at the Consulate's website that most security clearances expire in 3 months. Does anyone have any idea how andtill when I can postpone my interview date in order to keep those clearances still valid? But I think it would be safe to take as many documents (original and copies) to the consulate for the interview as possible.

Have a great weekend you all!

Hi Deb_Res,

Any update on your interview date???

Hi Joye,

Thanks for asking. How is everything going for you and your baby ? I just posted the latest news in the forum and you won't believe it! I will cut and paste it here for you to read.

Well... It was going on 9 weeks without any word after our NOA2. My lawyer basically told me to chill out and wait, security checks could take months. I wouldn't let it rest... A new friend of mine from VJ told me I should call the NVC to make sure it's not sitting there. So I called and they said our petition was forwarded to the Ankara Embassy on 3/21/06. I emailed the embassy and explained that I have not heard a thing in 9 weeks and could they please tell me the status of my case. They emailed back in one day and told me they forwarded Packet 3 to my lawyer on 3/24/06!!!!!!! When I heard this I almost exploded ! 2 months were wasted for nothing ! I forwarded the email from the embassy to him and called him. He called me back and apologized. Whether true or not, he said that his secretary, who was fired 3 weeks ago, miss filed my Packet 3. And while he was away on business last week the new secretary found the Packet and he thought they just received it! And to make up for it he said he will do my AOS for free, which would have cost me $2,000. I wasn't going to hire him for the AOS, I was going to do it myself with the help of VJ, but hell I'm going to take him up on his offer and take up his time and money! All I can say is always rely on your gut feeling/instincts. All along I felt something was not right and sure enough I was right.

Now we have Packet 3 !!! Finally !!! My question is this: Our NOA1 was approved on 3/1/06, our NOA2 was approved on 3/16/06, where do we fit in with the IMBRA Law? Are we ok because our NOA1 was approved before 3/5/06? Or do they go by the NOA2 date on 3/16/06?

morning! well ali had his interview yesterday and they told him that his fbi name check was not complete. We wondered about this since we were only given 22 days notice for his interview. Anyone have any idea of how long these take? The CO told him 4 weeks, but their website says 4 months

[Ctrl+alt+delete 0]

So sorry to hear of your news joyeann. I pray the FBI check comes back ASAP.

I am sorry to not have any info to help you on this matter but at least can offer

you some support.

Best wishes to you both,

Peace to All

Debra

Thank you Debra!!

I am hoping that they will be done in the 4 week timeframe that they told him. He was planning on coming the first part of July anyway so that would work out perfectly. .

He did say that almost none of the men there got their visa's, and that they have to wait for the checks as well. So it doesn't sound like AR at least I hope not!!
