OKAY, ALL APPROVED IN SEPTEMBER!

[shiri 0]

Thanks for the pep talk, but the waiting will be much longer in my husband's case. The embassy is backed up for 4 months so most likely his interview will not be until February or March. Also, as an Iraqi he has high chances of getting AP after the interview that could easily last 6 months or more before issuing a visa. The other two women with Iraqi husbands/fiances are still waiting and the interviews were in June/July timeframe. It could easily be another year before my husband can come unless I get really lucky somehow.

Wow, that sounds so daunting, I am sorry. I am really struggling with being separated. The difficulty of getting things done to be together since we are from different countries has really helped our relationship to grow, but the waiting can be so hard. I hope it ends up being quicker than it seems right now. Hang in there!

Hello everyone,

UPDATE: Called NVC today and found out that my interview date has been set, 12/19/2008.

Thanks to everyone for all your help and good luck.

Congrats!!!

Thanks, I really hope so. Our only other chance is that he is also waiting final approval of refugee. He finished all his processing for refugee back in June to include the physical. We have been waiting since then for the magical phone call where they tell him to come in so they can book his flight and give him his Orientations on life in America. Some Iraqis wait a year or more before getting that call, but it could happen any day or not until next summer. At least this way we have two chances of him coming though.

Well, that is a little more encouraging! Hang in there!

I am not lucky to get december interview date NVC representative told me that they finished scheduling december interview for Mumbai embassy and I am not in. I just have to wait until January. PCC got me. I thought PCC hold me for one week but no it hold me for one month.

Adinath521, That is strange because my case was completed on 11/3 and interview was schedule on 11/4 I am very surprise that they are done with December interview because they should be scheduling it up to 11/14/08 but I guess due to Christmas they are done with Dec. But you will get first week of Jan 2009 so don't worry it will only be one-two week more before you get reunited. Rmusic

*raises hand* Me! I called the NVC and they told me all I was missing was my PCC... so I overnighted it, but then I began wondering if I had the right one. I scanned a copy of the PCC that we had and posted it on another thread to inquire what others from Canada had... just to make sure we even sent the right one. There are 2 different types in Canada and we need the RCMP one. I haven't heard back from the NVC if the original was sufficient yet or not. What language is your PCC in?

Hey guys,

DS230 finally mailed. My husband sent it by DHL this morning. It is expected to be there by Thursday. Whew.

[Salaciouslady 0]

it's in 3 languages one albanian one english and the third is serbian i believe.

I will hopefully get mine this week from my husband and send it by next week or hopefully the end of this week.

I'm going to send a copy, the mail from kosovo to NYC it terrible

[Paul's Mrs. 0]

I don't think that I am going to be lucky either. I had hubby call in and ask about an interview and they said that no chance of December and probably not January either. They said call back December 12th. I had a breakdown and immediately called back for myself to hear it with my own ears. The lady at the center said that they haven't started giving out dates for December yet. I am so confused and upset. I don't know what to believe now. And hearing all the other stories about being too late I am really worried that I am not going to spend the holidays with hubby. Please someone tell me they have received their interview date today.

It is strange. After reading post from u and kman, I had high hope that I will get interview on Dec. 23. Both of ur case was completed on Nov. 3 and got interview on Dec. 23. My case was completed on Nov. 5. So, I had high hope. When operator told me that I didn't make it in december, I couldn't belive. I called them again and confirmed with different operator.

Like u said, due to christmas break they didn't schedule during last week of december. I wonder when NVC is going to assign interview date for month of January.

I am probably a January hopeful too. Case should be complete this week, except I am in New Delhi. I thought they only took off on the 25th of DEC? Is Mumbai different?

Thanks Sasha,

I was this close to beating my husband up but he finally did it. Whew, i thought we were going to be stuck in this for a while. Quick question for you Sasha, if we get an RFE do we have to wait for them to send us the letter or if we hear it from a Rep can we jsut send in whatever it is. Just want to be prepared, just in case.
