In december 2006 I had my interview - I was RFE'd (needed more financial evidence, new sponser form etc) and I was told as soon as I send it in they will issue it and send it back out to me.

So, I called my then fiance who scrambled paperwork that day, overnighted it to me for a disgusting amount of money, I called the courier so the day AFTER that they came and picked it up. 3 days later they issued it and I recieved it a day after that so 6 - 7 day delay for me.

I had the same thing, Monday 18th May went for the interview, was told that husband should have signed the household member form and he hadn't (why didn't the NVC point this out??) got blue form, paid a rook of money to have document expresed from the USA to my self only to be told by the couriers that they couldn't collect until Thursday 21st May! Thursday came and went when I called the couriers they told me they had made a mistake and they had sent the secure envelope to wrong place, so it was collected Friday 22nd May, (I had paid additional express service too which I have yet to have refunded) called up the secure mail today, they told me the envelope had only just arrived today at the Embassy, I was told from the officer who approved my mother for IV that she was sucessful and they would send the visa in 4-5 days, so after it taking 4-5 days to actually get to the embassy who knows?

Oh #######!!! My husband did not sign anything as my income alone is enough for the AOS. Maybe I should get my husband to fill out the household members form and sent it to my parents before their interview.

Hope your mom get her visa real quick.

Hello,

I have posted this in the general consulate forum and now here. REally I would like UK'ers points of view. I have been told to furnish a co sponsor at interview, given a blue form. I asked the lady am I approved, she said yes, just send in the forms and you will have the visa before july. YOu know how you get when time passes a little and you start to think about things ( a little overmuch). Then you see others on the interview thread getting thier visa's and talking about POE. Its not nice.

If you have been told to furnish a co sponsor, or to give additional docs. CAn you share your experience, especially when you ring DOS. how long did it take to get your visa, are your still in the process now. Did you get a blue form at the embassy that had the first box ticked, then when you rang DOS were told that you were in AP? ????? I'm sure your answers will help not only myself but lots of other vj'ers.

I will keep you all filled in as to what happens next, ..................

Interviewed on 21st May 2009. Was told approved pending submission of my translated birth certificate. Apparently the one that was sent with my initial K1 app was not good enough for interview. Anyway called SMS who are picking up everything tomorrow (1st June) including my new £54 worth of certified all singing all dancing translated birth certficate. So now guess i wait like everyone else huh? Be nice to have an approximate wait time wouldnt it.......

Well lady at the window gave me the blue form with the first part ticked and i asked her if i was approved and she replied yes but to send back the documents requested, passport etc..

But i got my US fiance to call up DOS to make sure and they said the same..approved but need the translated docs. So hopefully once they pick up my forms i'm banking on 10-15 before i get my visa.

Does that sound realsitic to you?

yeah it sounds pretty realistic some else said that there was a backlog at the embassy. when i rang up DOS they said i was in AP, apparently that means admin procession. not the horrible AP, i hope. i got the first part of the 221(g) form ticked too,it seems all of us who have had that ticked get our visa's within a reasonable time frame. some in five days some in 14. the most i have heard of is 14 days.

Thanks for the confidence. So guess we're in same boat then, and hope to God neither of us is in AP. Best of luck to us both and roll on next couple of weeks !!!

My interview was on the 24th of April so I have been waiting just over a month, seems like we might be getting the birth certificate this week, as well as the tax return ( which he forgot to put in), its just what day. so we'll see.

Right now i'm just mad at the whole process. even though I dont have a denial or waiver, i have seen ppl who have a lot less on thier tax return and just walk through. pisses me off. so even though i have been told that i can just send the papers in and get my visa, i wont believe until i see it. the unexpected is what i expect.
