Hello everyone, missed you guys like crazy. Now that is some good news with the Visa Bulletin, and am sure all of us with December dates can almost be too sure our interviews will be in June, and maybe some might stray into July. But I miean that is such a huge sigh of relief after the heart-breaking move of just one month in the last bulletin. Can you believe that i have been going back every like time i could, to just be sure they haven't gone back to change the date from DEC 01???? So so too good to be true.

SAM, you are one blessed guy you know. Thanks for the honour of making me KNOW your family. I will miss them sore. Enjoy your lifes to the fullest. What we shared on that interview day can never be explained, only those going through the exact same thing can know the feeling.

TWULF, I just thought i sjould add my widow's mite to your question above. Be sure to fill in ALL the NAMES of the pple immigrating (that is the spouse and any number of children you gus have and have filed for) in the I-864 forms EVEN THOUGH you are using a co-sponsor. The petitioner should iclude all the names of the intending immigrants to his forms EVEN if his/her income is presumed low. The Co-sponsor form will complement that.

That was one of the major hitches we had in our journey, and it kind of delayed us somewhat, i mean whilst some of us spend 3-6weeks after the Choice of agent contact from NVC , we used a total of 3months.

Other contributing factors to our delay were that some documents were still not ready when we were asked to start submitting stuff, and mixed up some of NVC addresses. So mails got sent back after a week of posting and we had to resend again.

What am actually trying to say is that you can save yourselves some sleepless nights by getting EVERYTHING you can help getting READY. You can print off forms DS 230 online and fill it without dating, gather all your documents (marriage, Births, Divorce Certificates, travel passports, photo passports and any other doc specific to you situation). Just dont wait for an email from NVC before you spring into action.

Believe me the begining of the end of the whole journey is nearer than you think.

That is my story, now i know better and would not want you all to make the same mistakes we made.

Finally we got CASE COMPLETE on the 8th of April, and our PD Is Dec 27th 06! I cant believe this.

To MITCH and the rest of my ever expanding family let's keep our bodies together; let's keep one another warm. (L)

Admire, I totally admire :) your thoughtfulness towards all of us. Thanks and Keep posting your inputs

Raymon i don't understand how do you sched a medical interview?

based on experience, from families, and friends.... if the case is already current and you already have your interview date, you can call some numbers that you can make your appointment for your medical screenings. but give it a lil bit of days allowance just incase you will have some things to fix and to take care of with your medical stuff... just a bit of advice... but i know us here are all healthy and happy so, everything should be ok.
