Hi, all

So i´m now ready to share what happen at the Embassy and my Interview.

I was there 08:00 and got it 15 min after.

I was the first in line and only in line at the time.

I went to all the security stuff. WOW it´s a big Embassy!!

I came inside and went to the window, at that time i was thinking "all is fine, i have all my papers"

I was then asked for:

Passport

MC

BC his and her (And there was the problem.)

Chat log

Pictures

JS AOS and financial papers

Military Papers

Waiver of old GC

As i said, BC (My bc) was the problem, i somehow left it at home, with some other papers in a "backup" folder.

So i was told to sit back down, they looked over my papers and called me back to another window.

Here i got my fingerprints taken and was asked:

Where did you meet your wife?

Why was she in Denmark?

What does she do for living?

What will you do for living?

What about your kids?

That was it.

I was then put in AP - the 221(g) and was told they need to have the BC for them to approve my case.

The last thing i was told was that i had to mail it to them and when they got my paper, they will do my passport and mail it to my in the Envelop that i addressed to my self as the first thing after handing in papers.

Today i mailed the my BC and they will have it in hand Friday or Monday.

So that´s where i´m with the case so fare.

Thank you for sharing your embassy story ?

That's just a minor speed bump. You sent in the reply to your 221(g) and within two weeks you'll pick up your visa packet. CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Hi all

I contacted embassy for status of my visa and they quickly replied that teh AP is over and I can expect my visa next week. but in the website I am still under AP and it is not issued or something. Is it normal? how long before receiving your visa, did your status change?

can I trust that and reserve my flight ebfore it gets more expensive

thanks

Mine changed to approved, then the day after it went back to AP, then issued. I could pick up my visa packet the day after. But the CEAC website doesn't always update like that so don't worry too much about that.

After our NVC nightmare, I'm personally a little reluctant to trust what's being said by US immigrations, although I did find the US embassy very knowledgable and trustworthy. Only book the flight in advance if you're willing to loose the money if there's complications

I would strongly advice against buying plane tickets before you have the papers in hand. What if it gets held up at the embassy or post office?

Thanks you mallaftri 76 and calculus

so I wait until having the visa in hand. you are right we cannot trust this system

Can´t believe that i mailed my BC to Stockholm yesterday.

But it have not left DK yet. wow Postdanmark is still #######.

And then they can´t figure out why ppl stopped using them for letters.

Hello, my fiance and I are applying for a K-1 visa and we got our NOA2 on January 11. It was sent from the NVC on January 22.

Now, everywhere I've looked it says that the embassy will send a checklist but I haven't heard anything. Am I supposed to send in the DS-160 first? I filled it out but I haven't paid it yet since I'm not sure that's what I'm supposed to do...

It will come in an e-mail, probably to the USC.

Has the embassy received your case yet?

USC?

I honestly don't know if they have my e-mail address. How do I check if they have received it? I tried calling them but it's very confusing

You'll love them and long for them retrospectively when you discover the magic of USPS.

United states citizen. The petitioner.

You don't have the app? you can go to this web page and enter you number and see what it says. Seems like you need to read about the process.

Thank you, I was on that web site every single day until it said the case was approved on January 11.

I have read a lot about the process but most I have found has been about the I-129f up until it's sent from the NVC and then about the medical and interview. I haven't found much about what happens between that.

Have you called NVC and asked for your case number?

After NVC it is sent to embassy in Stockholm. They send out the email with instructions of the medical, the DS-160, the fee, and the interview and what you need to bring.
