Hello...hope all is having a nice weekend.

I know this might be a silly question but I forgot how the NOA1 work. I recv'd mine Saturday but the receipt date is different from the date online. When I checked my case online it states my I-130 was recv'd on 1/6 but on my NOA1 the receipt date is 12/29 and the notice date is 1/9. Which date is the actual NOA1 date?

The one you got in the mail is right!

The only case status sometimes doesn't get up to date and may not change status as quickly.

My online case status hasn't changed since the start of November.

I'm not looking for the case status to change but the date is confusing to me because I mailed my petition on 12/30 and the receipt date says 12/29. I figured they made a mistake and the correct date is 1/6 which is posted online.

Good Afternoon everyone!

I hope everyone is staying nice and warm on this cold Monday! It's been a long time since I've woken up to 18 degree weather in Oregon. Yikes! Way too cold, especially after I just got back from nice 85 degree weather in Jamaica.

I wanted to post a little about my husband and my experience at our Interview last Thursday. First off, our appointment was at 12:45 and not having any idea what the lines would be like I made him get us there at 11. Needless to say we were early, and the people at the door were letting in people who were at the end of the line with 11:30 appts. So I'd say you're safe at an hour, unless each day is different. We lucked out and got in at 12. The process went relatively smooth, well minus the guy that passed out while walking to the bathroom. That was a little wierd to witness. I will say that when everyone says do not ever admit to smoking ganja, LISTEN TO THEM! There was a man in there who was all prepared and said he was ready to be grilled by the interviewer, but he didn't even get the chance to talk. He got to the window and was pretty much immediately denied. The sad part was his denial sheet states he was denied for admitting to using within the last 3 years, yet he told the doctors it had been 5 to 6 years. I felt really bad for him. Also, COME prepared! If you can't be there for your SO, make sure he or she has enough to prove a legitimate relationship. We saw another man denied because he had no pictures of his wedding or spouse and had nothing to prove he even talks to her. Needless to say, after watching several people be denied during the interview and several before for not having proper marriage or birth certificates it makes you a little nervous.

But we made it!! My husband actually got to do his interview in a private room. Hubby, myself and his daughter started at a window with all three of us being sworn in, and the lady starts off asking my husband when we were married. He was so nervous I had to prod him to speak and when he did he said July 2006, which would have been okay, but we were married June 2006!! I'm not sure if she could tell how nervous he was or what, but I thank god she took him into that private room. I'm not sure what she asked him but I was called back less then 5 minutes later and all she asked is how often I'd been to visit, wanted to see my passport and if I had wedding photos. He never had to leave the room. She said everything my husband told her made her believe our marriage was legit. She did ask his daughter who I was which was cute. She was so proud that she got to answer some questions too. She then told us they got approved and off we went. I think we left the embassy for AirPak at about 2:30. The whole process was painless, yet nerve racking! Some of those interviewers were pretty intense!! Sure glad we got who we did. She was very kind.

I'm just so glad it's over!!! My husband was back to himself after that which was nice. Although he swears he wasn't nervous. Yeah okay honey, if you say so... lol

I have to say, the whole process up to this point has been a little much at times, but I'm excited we are almost together!! Two weeks and he'll be coming to freezing A** Oregon. Well that's keeping our fingers crossed that the Visa's get delivered in time.

I should mention that I had to submit a Form 3052 at the Embassy. The form said it's for a V Visa so I'm not sure why I had to submit it but I did. So if anyone is going to be going for a K-3 Visa, make sure you take one just in case. Thankfully he told me he had it in his packet so I'd printed it out before I left.

If anyone has any questions about the new Embassy and the interview process please let me know!!

One step down and WAY to many more to go....... But at least we will soon be together! I didn't think we'd ever get to this point!

Rachelle.
